Photo TR: Jingshan Park and Haibin Park (10/02/11)

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

This morning I got up and went to two parks in Zhuhai in Guangdong, China. This is close to Hong Kong and Macau. My first park was a park called Jingshan Park. This park has several rides including an alpine coaster. I didn't ride the alpine coaster because it was very expensive-even by American standards (don't look at me like I'm some kind of poverty-stricken @$$hole as the alpine coaster was about 10 USD for one ride). There are several rides here, inlcuding bumper cars, a pirate ship and others. In all, Jingshan Park is very nice.

 

After visiting Jingshan Park, I walked across the street to Haibin Park. I found the park's Outer Space Flying Car to have been closed less than three weeks ago. Luckily, I rode this coaster last year. The coaster is not going to operate anymore. Even though this was a kiddie coaster, I liked it because the tire-propelled lift directly out of the station made it feel like a mini launch. I was thinking Kings Island could add one of these and call it Flight Of Fear Jr. The management of Haibin Park was wise enough to know that if it is going to remove the coaster, that the park must have a new coaster. At the opposite side of Haibin Park's rides area, a new coaster called Fruit Worm Train has been built and has just opened. I didn't know about this coaster until I was walking through the park today and saw it. Fruit Worm Train is a decent ride even though it was designed for families. I got two circuits for 6 yuan. Fruit Worm Train became my 723rd coaster. I took a few photos of other rides before leaving the park. I have now discovered 64 roller coasters that weren't on the RCDB or any other coaster census at the time I found them.

I have arrived at Jingshan Park.

Jingshan Park has this beautiful lake.

A Jeff Johnson credit is a resident of Jingshan Park.

Jingshan's pirate ship looked great.

This haunted house looked interesting from the outside, but was very cheesy.

This swing ride appeared to be a new ride.

Jingshan Park had some bumper cars as well.

I refused to pay almost ten dollars to go on this.

I took a photo of Haibin Park's carousel when I arrived there.

Haibin's rocket ships are new.

Here is Haibin Park's SBNO Outer Space Flying Car, which will soon be removed.

Take another look before it is gone forever.

Here is Haibin's Park's train ride. It is fun, but a bit short.

Here is the station for Haibin Park's new for 2011 Fruit Worm Train.

Here is a look at Haibin Park's newest ride.

Here is another look at Haibin Park's best ride.

Here is one last shot of Fruit Worm Train to finish the trip report.

You probably have more coaster credits in CHina then anyone based on the number of unreported ones you have found.
