What's new for 2012 - Rides and Attractions

[Gutterflower]

Afraid I've got very little in the English Language. Doesn't seem the minor Chinese parks get much english coverage unless they are near Hong Kong, Shanghai or Beijing.

 

I admit I'm basing Happy Valley Wuhan's date off of recent pictures taken in August that can be seen here. The Wooden ride is up but everything else has a long way to go and I can't see it opening any time soon.

Zhigao Animation Park is listed as opening next year on the RCDB http://rcdb.com/10134.htm

There are some construction shots which show its progress here http://www.mxrb.cn/www/content/2011-08/17/content_1074297_2.htm

 

There are some pictures of Triumph Kingdom here http://vhcoasters.com/ looks like that Triumph Kingdom may open later this year if they get a move on

Remember if you want to find a thread to discuss any new 2012 installations, most links can be found on the first page of this thread.

This is why you don't post early in the morning when you're not fully awake.

Just giving this a bump. Anything we are missing from this list?

[larrygator]

^Robb - Even though I haven't been bumping the thread, I think I've kept the Front Page up to date. Thanks for bringing this thread back to everyone's attention.

 

Everyone - Please let me know in these thread if I've missed anything at a major park. When it comes to China I'm only including the major installations.

We will have an official announcement soon from Frontier City, but it looks to be nothing more than a mini water park if you will, although it could be a shoot the chute. More when details are officially announced.

I didn't see Nemesis: Sub Terra on there.

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is replacing their Crazy Surf ride with a KMG X-Factory that will keep the same name

[SoCalCoasters]

A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed Gertslauer SkyFly will be opening at Nick Universe and is replacing Tak Attack, the rotoshake.

[larrygator]

^Good catch, I added the Sky Fly attractions for both Nick Universe and Legoland Deustchland.

[SoCalCoasters]

^ you're welcome, and here's One more... Gertslauer has also announced they are building another SkyFly for Nigloland instead of the proposed Megalite.

Hey everyone,

 

I just went through and updated the first page for anyone who wants to see all the major projects expected to open in 2012. Be sure to let me know if you have any first hand pictures of these completed rides, so I can add them to the Park Index. Remember our Park Index is user generated with pictures taken by our staff and readers.
