Airtime&Gravity Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Looks like some really nice theming as usual will be going in to this park. Although, the mine train looks very unique in terms of theming. It looks to have an environmental/futuristic theme with the elevated green disks and the buildings in the area. It still looks very cool, but it looks like it will be eye-catching for reasons different than at the other parks. In fact, the whole area around the S&S coaster reminds me a bit of EPCOT. Â Airtime-who also didn't see the McDonald's until Elissa pointed it out-&Gravity
rider-x Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I didnt. I was mid post asking where it was until I decided at the last minute to double check and see if anyone else had seen it..... lucky I did.
_koppen Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I really don't care for the Extreme Rusher coaster, but the Bullet one really looks awsome, and I bet this one will be just as awsome!
Gutterflower Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Their website is live now  http://octwuhan.com  If you look carefully they use advertising images featuring Goliath at SFMM, Nitro, Corkscrew Lightning Racer, Ring Racer, Dragon Khan and Formula X
deathbydinn Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 ^ If you're going to take the time to animate it, at least 30 seconds to figure out which way the coaster goes. Shooting up Goliath's lift and down the lift looks like quite the ride.
Synshine Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Their website is live now http://octwuhan.com  If you look carefully they use advertising images featuring Goliath at SFMM, Nitro, Corkscrew, Lightning Racer, Ring Racer, Dragon Khan and Formula X   Not to nitpick, but their racer's design does borrow quite a few ideas from LR.
Gutterflower Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 ^ Indeed it does. It was just an observation... a few of the others are a bit more random but it's all good. Â Here's another shot of the Mcdonalds for Elissa.... If you look really really closely you can see the S&S coaster in there too Â
Gutterflower Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 THis site has a whole load of new pics  http://user.qzone.qq.com/314653585/photo/4f4d712d-4466-4923-8a0c-ab562d6ce96e/#!app=4    Click the link above and scroll to the last album for a ton more. The site does have a rather annoying flash thing going on but click the 2nd icon in on the top right to go back to a normal view.
Gutterflower Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Some park schematics have popped up and a full sized image of the parks concept art. Click the links for larger versions  If you look at the schematic you can seen the location of the missing Launched X-Car in the top left of the park. This is the same one that was expected to be at Knight Valley this year. The concept art makes it look like this ride is undercover. The other 4 coasters are all visible around the rest of the park as well.  http://vhcoasters.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/octmap1.jpg  http://vhcoasters.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/octmap2.jpg  Source: http://www.vhcoasters.com

Cyber.Fiber Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 That last picture looks incredible. Would love to see that element a little closer to home though...
eddytheviper Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 That element of the racing woodie... woah  When I saw the concept I was impressed, in real life, that just looks insane.
thrillrideseeker Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 When this ride was first released it did not interest me that much. However after seeing that last photo I am very intrigued now. Can not wait to see more progress. ~Matt
robbalvey Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 This was posted today on the Gravity Group Facebook page: Korey and Larry showing the high five at the high five  http://www.facebook.com/thegravitygroup
cfc Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I'm really looking forward to this ride in 2012--the high-five element looks insane!
rosscoe Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 That high five looks insane, can't wait to ride it during the china trip.
SharkTums Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 They were obviously inspired by our IAAPA update! Â Â Seriously though, I can't wait to ride this on the China Trip this summer and see what they'll let us try on this element!
ernierocker Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 ^ I was about to post that. Even had the picture copied and ready to go!
Moose Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I'm looking forward to riding this before it destroys itself like every other GG coaster seems to have done.
SharkTums Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 ^Even more interesting will be riding this High Five coaster in Wuhan and then a few days later riding Fireball to see how it's held up.
ernierocker Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I'm sure if any country could keep a wooden coaster maintained well it would be China. Oh wait...
_koppen Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 http://www.coasterfriends.de/forum/weltweite-news-asien-und-mehr/3250-neu-2011-12-happy-valley-wuhan-china-4.html  Some new pics of the park, the skyloop is testing and the X-car is finished.
ScottBrown Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 ^The concept art for the ride showed PTCs, so I'm not surprised. Considering the size of the investment for these coasters, maybe it was just cheaper for them to stick with PTCs this time around. Â Or Timberliners were not an option when this was all planned out
