Photo TR: Peixian Peoples Park (8/30/2012)

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

This morning I got up and headed to nearby Peixian to visit the Peoples Park there. This park is really standard Chinese fare, but it seems odd. One reason for this is that some of the rides look brand new while other rides are rusting away and falling apart. The coaster is a mouse coaster and it is very rusty, but it has a new chain lift on it. The lake is all stagnant and smells very bad.

 

The rides are basic rides and the park is in an out of the way location, but I had fun there. One thing I found odd was the lack of a swinging pirate ship. It seems every park in Asia has one. The mouse coaster here is very smooth. It looks like an Allan Herschell mouse with Japanese designed mouse cars. It was probably made by a Japanese company in the 80s. There used to be a powered kiddie coaster here, but it has been removed. As this park is not on the RCDB or ACE Coaster Census, I have now found 122 coasters before either one of these databases could document them.

 

The city of Peixian is very polluted and you can see this in a couple of my photos on the TR. In all, the park is worth checking out if you are in the region. Peixian is in a very out of the way city in China and not too many foreigners go there. Many people were surprised to see a foreigner at the park today.

I have arrived in the city of Peixian at Peoples Park. Let's see what is inside.

I am through the entrance gate.

Here is the big lake at Peixian Peoples Park. The air was very polluted today in Peixian.

Here is one of the many nice bridges you will see at a Chinese park.

This tiny merry go round is ancient.

This is probably the smallest Jeff Johnson credit in the world.

This net climb is in a large play area.

I bet this plane helped win the Korean war for the Chinese and North Koreans. It could be argued that the Americans lost the Korean war.

Here is a family ride at Peoples Park.

This is another family ride here.

This is the Ferris wheel as seen from the other side of the lake.

The large carousel here has seen better days.

This rusty old mouse serves as the fastest thing on rails in Peixian.

The lift on this ride is very fast and the chain is new, but the coaster itself is old.

The mouse is actually very smooth. Here is an on ride shot.

Here is a photo from inside the loading station.

Here is the mouse in action to finish off the TR.

Man, I love these "Deep China Expedition" trip reports. So cool. And congrats on 122 finds! Those cars on the coaster are awesome!

The mouse looked abandened. Surprised it was running.

I'm OK with any TR that makes fun of Jeff! Keep them coming!

Ah, yes--the trademark "mouse wearing shades" car. Essential on a Chinese Jungle or Crazy Mouse.
