pdon Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for sharing the photos. It looks like a fun park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I hope that some trees start to grow soon, as it looks like a big lack of shade!!! This park makes a nice triangle of parks to do in Central Mexico now! Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam06pr Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Any pictures of the river rapids? Nice PTR. The park looks nice. This park popped out of nowhere...RCDB does not have any stat on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not bad for government work. I love how the lake buts up roughly against the desert, held back by a small wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wow some of that looks great, others not so much, but it's government funded so who can complain? What did that Arrow use to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The Rapids Ride is the one from MGM Grand Adventures, but I have no idea who built that coaster? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^The TR person said Arrow, but I've never seen those loop supports before, the trains look kind of different too, time to go to my good friend rcdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'd say it's one of those Chinese knock-off designers. Meisho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It's not on RCDB -_- what the heck is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^Well if it's not on RCDB it must NOT EXIST!!! That's right, this whole Photo TR is a LIE!!!! Seriously though, this is what's great about having awesome TPR Members all over the world! There are parks like this everywhere that no one knows about until someone discovers them!

speedracer Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'd say it's one of those Chinese knock-off designers. Meisho? Close, here's SBL's Loop/Screw. Looks like a nice little park, thanks for great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I knowwwwwwwww, (I'm not that much of a noob) but it'd still be easier to find out who made it if it was on there *refrains from using X D because he knows what happens* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Pretty sure all the coasters there are SBL (since the TR said there were SBL signs on all of them): * Loop&cork Screw Coster (their spelling, not mine) * Junior Coaster * Crazy Mouse On an unrelated but funny note, SBL also makes the American Adventure, where guests can shoot at Kangaroos, Cobras, Zebras, and other American wildlife.

packfanlv Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^This is the same company that made the fake SLC in China right? Oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Or.. to add to the list.. could it be the old Expoland Arrow, just with a newly manufactured loop? http://www.rcdb.com/ig1271.htm?picture=4 I thought it was closed before the park shut down.

Calicoasters Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^I don't think so, why would they change the shape of the nose on the front car? This Mexican coaster seems to have a little more supports than the Arrow coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 On an unrelated but funny note, SBL also makes the American Adventure, 'Amerian' according to the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey I'm fairly sure at least the Wild mouse is a Senyo Design, and it wouldnt suprise me if the the looper was too The cars on this coaster at Pleasure Garden in Japan are the same http://www.rcdb.com/id3030.htm Of course it could just be a SBF knock off of the Senyo Design.. which would probably surprise me even less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meisho? This could really be a Chinese design. Because the design of the loop and it's supports look like Schwarzkopf en the corkscrew supports look like arrow design. And the trains are from the old Arrow/Vekoma design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'd say it's one of those Chinese knock-off designers. Meisho? Meisho isn't a Chinese knock off caster company. They are from Japan, have been around since the 60s so it is well established, and they have worked with various other coaster companies as builders and contractors. I believe there was/is some relation to Vekoma, but I don't remember what that relation is. The park looks nice, but like has been said before, it needs a lot of shade. Hopefully it is successful, and if the park expands in to the available land, this could become a fairly good park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The loop structure looks very Meisho-ish, but I'm not sure about the track or trains. The park looks sorta sparse though. Some parts of the park look really nice, but others look meh. But it is a government-run park after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The giant "SBL" written on the side is a pretty big clue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Indeed that does suggest its SBL. However as it is an exact clone (layout, cars and all) and as a quick glance at Pleasure Gardens site suggests its no longer there. could SBL have been contracted to move the Pleasure Garden version to mexico and just painted their logo on the side? perhaps after a rehab? SBL do may make the fake SLC's but they are not exact clones, unlike the "Golden Horse" versions like Flame Meteor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterferg Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 That loop looks really tight. I wonder what kind of G's this thing offers in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
