Ripoff Launched Coaster

[RideofSteel]

I was browsing RCDB and I found a new coaster by the Beijing jiuhua amusement rides manufacturing company going into Langzhong Panda Paradis. It's listed as a motor launch coaster opening June first. It goes 0-50 in 2.8 seconds.

 

Has anyone heard of this ride? I would be scared to ride this coaster with that Chinese quality.

Going through the other 5 coasters they already have operating according to RCDB, the quality doesn't seem as horrendous as I was expecting.

 

But I'm very concerned finding this on their website: http://www.jiuhuarides.com.cn/product/liste.asp?product_id=209

^According to their page they also did the spinning coaster at Mall of America! Oh China...it would be funny if it wasn't so terrifying!

I am assuming that this is the motorbike coaster that they are building:

I don't know why, but I am kind of a little suprised that two of the six coasters they have already built are outside of China (Dubai and Argentina).

It appears they have already built it

Oh sweet Jesus

A knockoff launch coaster is almost as terrifying as the knockoff 11 inversion coaster.

Well at least this coaster can't get stuck upside down in a loop.

They also make suspended coasters..ouch.This too..ouch.

^ What the hell is that weird element in the middle of the first picture.

 

This company seems a lot better than the other Beijing company building the Jingling coasters. The motorbike coaster doesn't look too bad (although it'll probably ride worse than it looks).

That first coaster is not one of theirs, but they'll probably make a knock-off of it.

 

That little suspended coaster is a traveling coaster by the name of "Christmas Coaster". It was produced by Reverchon, and I believe that it inspired the "Inverted Wild Mouse" coaster style that premiered in RCT Loopy Landscapes.

 

Here's a video of it courtesy of UKRides.info; apparently it's not that bad. But, this Chinese company will probably find a way to make it completely worse.

 

Would it be sacrilegious to say that the launched motorbike coaster actually doesn't look half bad?

China may be the only place where a No Limits noob can get a job in engineering.

Agreed, they should all move to China immediately.

They even have a chance chaos knock off!

^Apparently they list this under the family and children's section.

WTF!?!

I had that same thought - that turnaround looks like it might be fun. If the launch doesn't do too much damage to you first.

Probably for the best, if nobody did.

It'd probably be a hydraulic launch right? Oh god, if Intamin managed to make one of their launch coasters spit up shards of cable I hate to think what this could do.
