NEWS: Premier Rides to build world's tallest indoor coaster!

[I305forever]

^ It's China, of course it will be bizarre. Thank god it's not another knock_off.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Doesn't look as tall as I expected TBH, but this could be just a test version and the China one could be a taller version.

[linearinduction]

Perhaps this is where the Neon Green Premier Track and Blue Columns are going?

Here's the latest image of the pretzel coaster that came with the most recent issue of FD.

Looks odd from a different angle.

Ok this looks like a lamer version of the lamest Euro Fighter. Please Vekoma you can do much better!

Umm hold up what happened to the premier?

[MrRC]

These pictures where taken today at the Vekoma Factory in Vlodrop Netherlands, not at Premier Rides.

[CPmillenia94]

^Exactly.. So again, what about the premier? Seems like there's been no news whatsoever.

[grsupercity]

Thats some interesting looking Vekoma track

[A.J.]

It probably looks that way so the track spine can act as a support, kind of like on boomerangs and the B&M / later Intamin giga coasters.

[MrRC]

I was thinking more like the lifthill of Expedition Everest in AK.

 

Wich also is build by Vekoma.

^Exactly.. So again, what about the premier? Seems like there's been no news whatsoever.

 

The Premier went to Holiday Park and is called Sky Scream. The Chinese mall ran into financial trouble and the rides were put on hold. This Vekoma ride they are trying out here is probably not going to the Chinese mall.

Will the Vekoma coaster have a vertical drop as well as a vertical lift hill or just a vertical lift hill?

[rcjp]

^ It doesn't look like the drop will be vertical.

Wow, the layout is uninspired... But the best part about that drawing is to see that Vekoma will uses off-track storage, just like B&M, Mack, and now Gertslauer with Karnan.

[Woodie Warrior]

The layout looks fine to me, other than the MCBR being really early. That drop should be fun.

[DJeXeL]

Thought this said "Zero G Hell" and I was like well that sounds fun!

[I305forever]

^ It is Vekoma after all.

[Superbatboy]

I can feel the roughness already, wish Premier was building this

Their current generation of coasters are sooooo smooth

[Gutterflower]

From what I've been told the premier coaster is also still happening. There will be at least 3 coasters. The premier sky rocket, the vekoma pretzel seen above and a custom vekoma motorbike coaster which will thread through the premier.

 

As stated the park has been delayed by a couple of years and the original ride built for this park ended up as sky scream at holiday Park. I belive a second one is being manufactured for this park now.

 

The park seems to have overcome it's financing issues and is aiming to be open by the end of the year. But as this is China I will belive it all when I see it all.

[gerstlaueringvar]

^ Agreed. As of now, still not a sign of roller coaster.

[GwaziBSRider1]

Considering that ~95% of the retail space was empty when the mall opened (and a lot still is), I'm surprised the park project is still in the works. Actually, I'm surprised that this mall is even still OPEN.

[Gutterflower]

That Mall is a different one. I think it was The New South China Mall.

 

This one is an entirely new development west of Beijing called the Great Mall Of China.

 

Possibly it will be just as successful

[MrRC]

New additional information :

 

This ride does still go to Great Mall of China.

It will be abt 30m higher then at the Testlocation.
