It'll be interesting to see how the riding experience compares to Big Air.

I'm pretty sure this counts as a wing coaster. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[TXman308]

^What else would it be?

I personally wonder how this compares to the impulse coasters, as maybe we could see 1 or 2 pop up in the U.S.?

[_koppen]

That looks totally kick-ass!

[Geauga Dog]

That does seem like a good ride. For the U.S. they would need to add one or two more cars to the train to add more capacity.

I don't think so. Each side seats two forward and two backward. Four seats per side, two sides per car, four cars per train - that's thirty-two riders. That's higher-capacity than all Impulse Coasters and most Boomerangs.

^Exactly... Like I said earlier... I like the concept.. Seems like a first generation version...Hopefully they can find a way to still allow for the spikes to twist! Just a matter designing supports which I'm sure can be done.

[djboss302]

^It would be pretty sweet to have key holes on that thing, even sweeter with keyhole on twisted spikes. Maybe another idea would be to have something like V2 at SFDK.

[_koppen]

This thing is huge! And gorgeous.

Hopefully we will get one here in Europe soon.

And finally a nerd shot!

^Does that sign say "first amusement ride erected in China"?

This ride looks amazing! We need one of these in the U.S. so badly. If we get one of these in the U.S. I would be the first in line for it! It reminds me of Possessed at Dorney which I rode 27x straight!

Those are not real Chinese people, none of them are in the proper Chinese riding position.

You mean the Fireball Position which Robb and Gravity Group's staff showed in IAAPA?

[johnnyknottsville]

I'm wondering if it would be possible to make the seats 4d!!!, a 300 foot 4d version would be insane

[Moose]

Based on the state of the park when we visited, I never thought this would open. It looks like a nice update to the half pipe coasters.

 

So how long before another Chinese park gets a knockoff?

[cfc]

^Hell, I'm amazed the park is still open.

 

This looks like a nice variation on the half-pipe. The "wing" trains should add a whole new dimension to the experience.

[Nrthwnd]

I'm still waiting for that car ride to be finished.

[_koppen]

Intamin now have the ride up on their website

[cfc]

^Hmm--it'll be interesting to see if more parks build one of these with the "wing rider" seats.

[rcjp]

^Just not with these awful restraints! I haven't tried the new intamin lap bars but they look better than these.

[rosscoe]

Is just me or does those seats look like they are quiet away from the loading platform?

[rcjp]

^They should be more or less like furius baco, I guess.

According to RCDB, the U-Shaped Coaster is now SBNO. Anyone know what happened?

[Gutterflower]

As far as I know noone really knows why (well I assume the park do). It's been sat there for a while just doing nothing. I visited at the end of last year and it was closed despite the rest of the park being open and the same thing happened when some friends visited in Feb and March this year.

 

I guess it's possible it's reopened since but not many RCDB contributors/westerners make it out that way so it's not reported?

 

On the plus side Duane is out in China at the moment and I believe he's heading that way so perhaps he will find out more.
