Gutterflower Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Note: I do apologise for the fragmented nature of this post. I am editing as i research the coaster so i post as i find. http://www.thefirst.cn/73/2007-11-23/152334.htm This is the latest news update in China. unfortunatly the picture doesnt show alot. but someone with a mind better suited to the fishbowl effect might be able to figure it out. Also found this pic from this blog http://hi.baidu.com/mycehn/blog/item/d52ff68b0abd1dd0fc1f1019.html (however its pretty big so had to (url] it http://hiphotos.baidu.com/mycehn/pic/item/60cd427ad96ef1e12f73b3d9.jpg and there are a few more on this forum http://blog.gdin.net/html/66/13066-4554.html http://blufiles.storage.msn.com/y1pfG65b2hBDNV1uiBjywl_PrSuHbtm2Y-8LcM7s-_e3i0NWQOMyWsmiS2e7kQliC7hSkcNeAr_vnE Theres one here too http://cn.bbs.yahoo.com/message/read_-bWlkbGlmZQ==_706838.html one more pic of what appears to be the final helix http://news.163.com/07/1123/07/3TVF33HM0001125G.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 That makes me wonder whether all the track is done now. I've not seen anything from after the midcourse upto that helix yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Cool a helix! Thhis looks pretty cool! I wish a Seaworld would get a DM. I wish the Orlando one but that will never happen. The Orlando one is my favorite Seaworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Wow, this coaster looks very nice, and it seems to have many ground hugging elements. This should give the ride some intense moments, and it seems to be unique as the newer dive machines seem to be more "elevated" with them only coming to the ground on the drops and water splash.

asr Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 That helix looks pretty crazy, but only because it looks like there isn't are just barely is clearence for the trains, so end seat riders on the side closest the ground will be insanely closs to both the ground and the supports.

JuanSe_Colombia Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yeah that final helix looks pretty cool, so sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Looks like the ride is coming along nicely, altough I don't see a spot for a watersplash feature. Maybe it doesn't have one or we just didn't see it yet? Anyway, this looks like it is going to be a crowd pleaser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Looks like the ride is coming along nicely, altough I don't see a spot for a watersplash feature. Maybe it doesn't have one or we just didn't see it yet? Anyway, this looks like it is going to be a crowd pleaser! From the looks, there will be a water splash.

PKI Jizzman Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 ^Umm..that link doesn't prove anything. It just rained or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster05 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 ^Agreed. ^^That is one of the worst attempts ever to prove anything by using a picture. Did you notice how cloudy it was and that the water is everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 ^Look in the back ground. It seems that the ride will have a ending similar to Sheikra. And given the helix is under the Lift area, that leaves space in between the turn around and the helix for a splash down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 ^^ Why was it one of the worst? There was a turn in the back like in Sheikra. Looks like this ride doesn't have an extra immelmann like Griffon does, unless there's a bit of track not shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well, I guess we'll just have to wait for some more pics to come out then. I don't think anybody has a complete idea as to the layout of the entire ride, but the pictures tell alot about the first half, and a little of the end. Looks like a cross between Griffon and Sheikra to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster05 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I am not saying there is not a watersplash feature, I am saying that showing this picture of an absolutely drenched Midway is not proof that there is a water splash feature. There was obviously a rainstorm right before this picture was taken. The guy like three above me are you honestly suggesting that the water from the area you circled can get the midway wet up by the gentlemen in the picture? As a teacher the level of reading comprehension on this site frightens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam06pr Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well they advertise some pics with a water splash so there must be a water splash somewhere. Oh and the final helix looks awesome. Its so low to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy monkey Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 it looks to me as though the train will dive down the second drop and into a turn to the right, similar to Sheikra's turn after the 2nd drop, and then into the splash area which is directly under the mcbr in this case. Basically really similar to Sheikra. Then it makes a slight bunny hop a little to the left (kinda like the bunny hop after Griffon's second immelmann) and then into the final helix and brake run. Just my theory. Refer to the pix (sorry if the text is hard to read!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I made a rendering of what the layout looks like for those of you who are still unsure... Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (Boht people above me) I think you hit the nail right on the head! Great job, and thanks for settling this out! ^That layout makes a lot of senes, and I think it is pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamjar Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 ^^^ Isnt that just a mirror of sheikra with a helix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Think of it more as a ride with Griffon's layout, but with the elements of SheiKra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam06pr Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I like to see it as the first half of Griffon with second half of Sheikra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonLaan Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The world’s tallest diving roller coaster is still under construction in Chimelong Paradise which is located in Panyu, Guangzhou, China. This diving roller coaster is called the king of roller coasters because of all the extreme factors of this amazing roller coaster. The diving coaster was produced by Bolliger&Mabillard, the best roller coaster production company in the world. With an investment of over 200 million RMB, this is the only Diving Coaster in Asia; with over 80 meters in height and over 1000 meters in length, this is the tallest diving coaster in the world; with a top speed of 120km/hour, and almost 90 degree vertical diving experience, this is the world’s best diving coaster ever! According to Chimelong Paradise, tourists will be able to experience this diving coaster during the coming Spring Festival. And a series of events has already been prepared for the opening of this king roller coaster.

yankees15 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 There is no way that ride is over 80 meters in height! It looks like its about 200 feet, not over 260 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonLaan Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 But that's the same with Eejanaika, it looks 60 meter and it's almost 80. (in my eyes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
