Great Coasters and Knight Valley Partner for Major Woodie

[packfanlv]

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!

Here's a picture of the actual model. It was in my newspaper today.

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.

I get the feeling there will be some more coming in the near future.

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!

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.

[themeparkman25]

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.

 

Definitely want to get out there in 2012 for this coaster!

^ That view is pretty amazing!

[Steelinwood]

That's a really good picture. I can't wait to see this coaster in action!

[1pizza14]

That looks truly amazing!! GCI has really outdone themselfs.

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.

WHOOW the pictures looks great !!!

That bends looks AMAZING !, China build the last time great woodies !

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

In your third photo, the first drop will emerge from the castle shown in the middle of the hill.

^Thanks for the insight Evan. It's nice to have someone in the know share a little bit of non-confidential info.

Here are some photos from GCI's Facebook.

Oh. My. God.

[6flagsbrad]

Terrain coasters are the best thing in the world. That looks amazing.

[christianscoasters]

This is like a coaster you'd see in your dreams. It looks so amazing that it's unreal. WOW!

[triggernel]

OH! MY! GOD! is f'in right!

[coasterfreak101]

Oh. My. God.

 

...about sums it up. Holy poop.

[Tmcdllr]

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.

 

"Oh. My. God." Sums it up pretty good and I would just simply add "WOW!".

 

In the pic of the model, looks like there is a tunnel near the end of the ride.....sweeet!

Must save money to visit China! (2012!)
