Photo TR: Shenzhen Cultural Palace Amusement Park (3/20/12)

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

The best thing about living in another country is being able to find parks and coasters that are unknown to even the most die-hard coaster enthusiasts. While planning my possible summer travels, I have recently learned of the existence of six more coasters that at not listed on any known coaster directory such as the ACE coaster census or Roller Coaster Database. I have now discovered 87 coasters before they were listed on any of the coaster directories. On March 20, 2012, I found Shenzhen Cultural Palace Amusement Park in Shenzhen. This park is located in Luohu, right outside of Laojie station. The funny thing about this park is that I have been right past this place numerous times-possibly 30 and didn't know it existed until I looked at a map of Shenzhen. Last July, I walked past the park. The view of the park is blocked from the street by trees. The park has a kiddie coaster, commonly called Outer Space Flying Car at many parks in China. I got three spins on the coaster after waiting about two hours for the workers to fix a motor on the lift hill. The ride selection is standard for a small Chinese park with basic rides such as a merry go round, bumper cars and a pirate ship. With a location right by a subway station, it is an easy park to seek out if you are in Shenzhen.

Here is Sheznhen Cultural Palace Amusement Park. Let's see what is inside.

The midway looks good with a lot of trees.

Here is some of the scenery inside the park.

A merry go round is here. No park would be complete without one.

A pirate ship calls this park home.

A 5-D theater is in this park as well.

This reminds me of Korea.

There is a coaster here.

Here is a photo I took while waiting for my ride to begin.

Here is the coaster during a test run.

Here is another view of the coaster.

I will finish my trip report with a photo of the wave swinger at Shenzhen Cultural Palace Amusement Park.
