packfanlv Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yeah from what I gathered by talking to people when I was there, Shenzhen is a place where a lot of people go because of it's economy. Since it is a SAR and located right next to Hong Kong, not everyone is allowed to live there and as someone explained to me, this has caused an underclass of "undocumented workers" to emerge within the city. I agree with you guys in that it was probably my least favorite city in China. With that said, OCT East looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) GCI just put up a photo of the first drop on their Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/robbalvey?v=app_2309869772&ref=profile#!/GreatCoasters emerging from the castle...

Guy T. Koepp Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I see that the castle is a pre-existing structure. I didn't know that. I thought it would be built afterward to inhance the themeing. No biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan1127 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I get the feeling there will be some more coming in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelinwood Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've heard that people over there are terrified of wooden coasters, they are relatively new to them! This is going to be a great addition and already looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I think we can officially call this GCI's answer to Voyage, although it won't get anywhere near the amount of attention given its location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Voyage's triple down is awesome enough but I have a feeling by the time you get to the third down on this coaster, your butt will be no where near the seat. This picture was on the GCI facebook. Â Definitely want to get out there in 2012 for this coaster! Edited June 3, 2010 by Meteornotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrzyjames Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Nice to see some pictures of the construction progress on this epic woodie. This ride looks like it'll be a blast!! I really like most if not all the GCI woodies I've ridden. I'd love to take a trip to China after this opens just so I can ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hey guys Sorry no update on the coaster but i decided to look into the resort a bit more after i saw the view from that last GCI picture. I almost fell out of my chair when i saw some of the views so thought id share them  Main Source: http://bbs.huanqiu.com/huanqiulvyou/thread-195691-1-2.html  So thats a pretty cool entrance to the resort.  Just one of the many waterfalls there seem to be around the site  Look carefully in the top right... see what i see?  So hows that for a view from a ride?.... Only one i can think that compares is Ocean Park in Hong Kong (this view is taken from the parks observation tower)  They have one of those glass walk things out over the cliff edge too.  .......  Now this is my favorite bit.... not the resort on the right.,.. but see that road on the left?  Not a road... turns out its the feakiest resort railway i think I've ever seen... I've found pics of this thing going all over the place....  Now im not sure exactly where in relation to all this the GCI is going... but the rest of the resort looks pretty smashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan1127 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Now im not sure exactly where in relation to all this the GCI is going... but the rest of the resort looks pretty smashing  In your third photo, the first drop will emerge from the castle shown in the middle of the hill.

Tmcdllr Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 From the looks of this, to date, it appears to be the ultimate GCII masterpiece, too bad it isn't being built here but maybe after this one is up it will spawn construction of something like it in the U.S. Â "Oh. My. God." Sums it up pretty good and I would just simply add "WOW!". Â In the pic of the model, looks like there is a tunnel near the end of the ride.....sweeet!
