Saxi Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Hi there. I am currently on business trip in Shenzhen but due non-working on Sunday (01/23/2011) I wanted to check the progress of the new S&S coaster "Shangrila Snowfield". Let the pictures speak for themselves ... Personal remark: if you want a very good Hotel close to "Happy Valley Shenzhen" then try Crowne Plaza Shenzhen which is in 2 minutes walking distance to the park and also in 3 minutes walking distance to "Window of the World". On to the pictures: view from the Mine Train also view from the Mine Train first drop looks nice but still something missing ... ... only some track is missing after the underwater-tunnel tried a panorama of the underwater-section different angle some missing track and supports waiting in the drained pool-area more tracks and supports waiting and a closer look to the underwater-section see, they are also working on Sundays soon you can scream TAKE THE TUNNEL Hope you enjoined this mini update.

OldJJman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Very cool! Thanks for the pix! The one thing I remember the most about this park was Elissa and I had to take a "defensive riding class" before riding the SLC! It was quite funny actually!

Ed Farmer Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you for the update. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to ride this , but the S&S coasters being built in China would sit at the top of my most-wanted list. Are these parks on the interary for the TPR China trip?

tiger01 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Looks like a lot of progress has been made! And I think I should have taken a "defensive riding class" before riding Infusion at Blackpool Pleasure beach. That was one mean coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 ^^Happy Valley Shenzhen is on the TPR 2012 China Trip! I haven't been following this one too much but hasn't it been under construction for quite some time now? I really thought they'd be track complete by now.

matteocrepaldi Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Very nice update! I don't know if it's just the colors but I like this one better than the one in Beijing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Is it me, or does the support in the background look really low? It must just be the pic, but it doesn't look like the train would make it through there, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 ^LOL! I think it's an optical illusion. If you look closely it's actually UNDER the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Looks amazing albeit dangerous if you have the wrong person in front of you. I rode the one in Big Bear a couple weeks ago and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclisso Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How tall is that supposed to be? I want to say It looks as tall as a hyper but it's probably not that tall right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 No problem. It does look massive I'll admit. I've never really been impressed with anything S & S has done but this actually looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If this proves to be a giant Powder Keg, which it's really starting to resemble, we could be looking at a top 10 coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
