World Joyland in China

[Steelinwood]

Of course they aren't unique. Huge Dive coasters are so typical. Anyhow, it's cool to know that they're working on new application of the flying coaster. Can't wait to see a POV!

[Steelinwood]

The park looks great, and I think they put a lot of thought into it. I don't think it will go under though, it will attract to many people, plus I think this is the second B&M flying coaster in china. By the way are there any flying circus's as permanent flat rides?

^ True, but whenever someone has a new ride concept it is unique. The dive machine is not nearly as unique as a eurofighter or el oco in variety though, and they are all essentially the same idea with different degrees of steepness. Also, so far dive machines have only had immelmans and no zero g rolls or even a loop for variety. B&M is and will always be a great company, but its good to see them being more original.

How on earth can you tell that based on reading a google translation about the park and seeing a concept image?

This is pretty crazy. It's seems to be heavily influenced by Islands of Adventure; the sign is pretty close to the same, and there is a lot of similar theming from the concept art (does anyone else see the Dr. Suess Land-ness to that building on the far left?). If it is, then it is interesting that they are ripping off Universal parks now. Disney must be passe.

I merged the two threads since it didn't make sense to have seperate threads about the same park/ride concept.

[Guest]

Ghost- Where is the concept art or whatever you used to make out a loop. I want to see.

 

Maybe it is just me, but I find the pretzel loop to be one of the most intense and disorienting inversions out there, making it my favorite inversion.

When I click on the link a small box popped up with a bunch of Chinese letters & such, and froze my computer. It wouldn't do anything.

Ahh, but china has a different outlook on everything. Some people may never have even seen a flying coaster. Plus the park doesn't have employees with tattoos being purposely shown. It all comes down to image and hard rock had one that didn't work. This one in more general and I think has a higher chance of success.

Hey guys

Just came across these pics of the World Joyland flyer supports being pieced together.

Not quite sure why the pieces for the support are all together on the ground but I will let you speculate on that.The report also says that the first delivery of parts should have arrived on the 5th of May.

^Most likely so they will just hoist the entire structure up instead of putting together a bunch of smaller sections by crane.

...theming?

I think it looks like those are pictures of the supports under fabrication. I know at least Vekoma has their supports made in China, maybe B&M is doing the same thing to ease the shipping costs. Speculation aside, it seems like China is shaping up to be an important market for the amusement industry now.

Sorry it just seemed funny!

[crazywolf88]

why would they be building those huge supports at the factory they would need five trucks to ship this in one piece.

[Sean Menefee]

My guess would be they assemble the supports in the plant as a quality control to make sure everything fits correctly, then they disassemble and ship the individual pieces out by truck.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

It looks like China's own Golden Age is beginning...Wonder where they will go from here.

Did anyone else notice that the track in the offride shots was Vekoma Flyer track with B&M 3DS?

 

It looks like a good ride. As much of an engineer I am, I still can't for the life of me figure out why flyers can't have inverted vertical loops.

[stormrider]

Looks like B&M is going for a new arrangement for the transport tires and the brakes, and the track spine looks ridiculously huge too. ^I always hypothesized that an outside loop was not possible yet due to how the forces would compress the rider's stomach.

[atem122]

^You're right. The reason B&M doesn't do it is because that too much force would be exerted on your chest. Like going through a pretzel loop inverted would be ridiculously uncomfortable!

[XII]

Wow. That really looks like a good flyer. Definitely sounds like something for people on the TPR China Trip to enjoy.

Straight First Drop, Horseshoe and Weird-ass 540degree twist roll thing are all done.

 

Seriously though. Look at that inversion. It does an entire 360 barrel roll while going up hill before doing another 180 over the top. its like a zero-g-roll on steroids.

[PKI Jizzman]

Straight first drop, hooray! I think that would be pretty fun.

 

Interesting to see the loop used over the pretzel loop, but yeah that zero-g with an extra twist looks awesome!

[SharkTums]

Oooo I like that new element!
