The Angry Darren Mullins Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I went to Qiushuishan Park in Shenzhen yesterday. This park was recently added to the RCDB and according to the RCDB, one coaster was here. Upon my arrival, I discovered, in addition to the knock-off of an Arrow looper that is here, that Qiushuishan Park has a kiddie coaster that is listed on the RCDB. The looper is simply called Roller Coaster and the kiddie coaster is called Space Vehicle. Space Vehicle is not currently listed on the RCDB and is the 75th coaster I have found that is not listed on any of the coaster directories. Qiushuishan has many rides including a large ferris wheel, a Jeff Johnson credit called Fruit Worm that has two small hills, shoot the chutes and a Chinese made giant Frisbee. The park is within walking distance of one of Shenzhen's metro lines. Qiushuishan is a relatively new park. It is also very clean and nice. It is well worth taking the time to visit. Many people were at the park yesterday. I am at Qiushuishan today. Qiushuishan Park has a merry go round. A Chinese made Frisbee is here too. Jeff Johnson credit is located here. The Jeff Johnson credit even has two small hills. There is a Chinese made version of the old Crazy Daisy ride here. A colorful Paratrooper entertains guests. A Tagada is here too. These are actually very common in South Korea, but not so much in China. A large ferris wheel calls Qiushuishan home. A pirate ship and cycle monorail exists here too. Here is the entrance to Roller Coaster. The corkscrew on Roller Coaster was very rough. Here is Roller Coaster from another angle. Roller Coaster goes through the loop. Here is a section of track on Space Vehicle. Space Vehicle is the 75th coaster I have found that was not listed on any coaster directory when I found it. Space Vehicle's station. Space Vehicle's lift hill as seen from inside of the station and that is all until I go on my next park outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Love these little parks. Nothing spectacular about any of them, just a lot of fun seeing them knowing that not many people from the West have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboard83 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 So, I'm curious Darren, why is that "micro worm" a Jeff Johnson credit and not a coaster for any credit whore? How is it powered? Does the attendent push the train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Any idea who made this? It looks a lot different than the traditional model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Nice shots, is that a Vekoma Whirlwind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 ^^I would assume some random Chinese company made that ride! That Jeff Johnson credit does seem like something others may try and count as well! We've got a lot of options for our time in Shenzhen for picking some random parks to check out, this one actually may make the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angry Darren Mullins Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 This park is very new. It is close to a station on the Longgang line and has two(possibly three credits). I am guessing the Fruit Worm is powered, but people over a certain height are not allowed to ride it. The Paratrooper looks like one I saw at Golden Lion Amusement Company when I visited Luming Lake. You can look at that trip report and see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angry Darren Mullins Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 One more thing...if Fruit Worm is considered a coaster, then I have found 76 coasters before they were located on the RCDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nice find. I always enjoy seeing photos from rarely seen parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^Totally. There's something almost "Indiana Jones-ish" about these discoveries. Also, that is the most beautifully themed Paratrooper ever. A ballsy claim to make, I know, but I'm standing by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
