buckaroo234 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I can't imagine that it'd be worse than a real SLC. How could? Â NO TEMPTING THE GODS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery96 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) How are these coasters even legal? Surely this counts as torture? Edited October 17, 2011 by emery96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammmmmy Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 The smoothness, the color, the location, the originality...what a generous donation of engineering to the blossoming region of china, located in only the most majestic future worlds flagship theme park: Jinling Happy World Lu'an. I wholeheartedly thank our colleagues at Jinling Happy World Lu'an, and the selfless souls at Hebei Zhongye Metallurgical Equipment Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. to give us this gift from god and the heavens.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 How are these coasters even legal? Surely this counts as cruel and unusual punishment? Amendment 8 doesn't exist in China, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ^Thanks for the edit. Little mistakes about things like that are a pet peeve of mine. Â But yeah, the SLC looks like crap. That exit from the sidewinder looks excruciatingly awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamatt Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I wonder if they even designed it themselves. Whose to say they didn't download it somewhere on the internet?

06jds377 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I looked at a few of the manufacturers' rides on RCDB... and I'm terrified now- they are the ones who have built knockoff Arrow Corkscrews and such- and that frightens me. Â Keep in mind, this is in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoole Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 So I love how on their website, they show a picture of Titanide at Terra Mitica (A Vekoma SLC). That's pretty bold, showing a picture of a Vekoma and advertising it as their own work lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This chinese manufacturers are industry parasites. Remember the SLC that got stucked in the middle od the cobra roll due to the wind?... well, it was a Vekoma copy done by "The Golden Horse Company", one of these chinese manufacturers. They copy the ride but not the european knowhow and the safety, which is nowadays LIGHT YEARS from the china's one... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 The Chinese are only following Japan's lead in the 1950s and 1960s. Â Japanese engineers took apart American products (cars, applances and electronics) and produced knock-offs for decades before thurning out superior products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty bold, showing a picture of a Vekoma and advertising it as their own work lol.  Actually a lot of parks do this to advertise rides/attractions (Six Flags) so Chinese manufacturers aren't the only ones who do this.  I always thought that Golden Horse was the only other SLC manufacturer in China (outside of Vekoma). I had no idea these other companies existed. From what I read in a Chinese forum (loosely translated through Google Translate), the Chinese don't seem to like these either.  Clicky  Oh ~ you this rotten company, you come to see your that broken roller coaster, I want to use the clip to clamp flat. With burns down, you looked that your roller coaster, uneven, the speed is slow. The comfort level broken. . . You look. You were hanging break become pull, oh the ~~ track disgusting, I not to want well like this to look at ~! The uneven roller coaster, everybody also dares not to sit? ~! Vomits ~!! Vomits ~!

If you're referring to how they will show an image of one rollercoaster (i.e. Green Lantern) to advertize another (i.e. Apocalypse), that's sort of different, as they own both of those rides. Â What the chinese company is doing is the equivalent of a baker taking a picture of another baker's cake, and advertising it as their own work.

netdvn Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ^ This is still China we're talking about. That country is well-known for making ripoffs and claiming they're the real thing to make a quick buck. Â Not a good thing, but it happens everywhere over there.

sammmmmy Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Well I mean...fine, I understand china making knockoffs of like designer clothes and bags and iphones and stuff...but to go to all the effort to knockoff a friggin roller coaster? Its not like its a simple piece of engineering either... I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 ... I just don't understand. Â Sometimes I don't think the Chinese engineers did either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
