Nrthwnd Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 And this had one of the oddest layouts, I had ever been on. Out-and-back....I guess. With mountains! And Santa! And the HIDDEN waterfall! Even at full speed..... kinda slow, wasn't it?
robbalvey Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 Here's one many of you have been waiting for...
chadster Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Love the preamble before the drop. Makes me sad I couldn't go this time around.
rctneil Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 What a great ride. Super long and actually has some really awesome airtime. Shame the rest of Knight Valley wasn't up to the same standard, the trip to the top was awesome though, oh and the bob karts!
TXman308 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 So, for those of you who were on the trip, where would you rate it? Top 10, 20...?
OldJJman Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 OK. "Wood Coaster" looked quite amazing! Nice layout, good length. My kind of coaster! However, the reverse POV of Stacy was definitely a distraction!! JJ
robbalvey Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 So, for those of you who were on the trip, where would you rate it? Top 10, 20...? I felt it was one of the better GCI's, but not sure it would break into my top ten...maybe the top 20. I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I just prefer some strong ejector airtime on my woodies. For the Chinese woodies, Fireball was my favourite... but really, they were ALL very, very good!
Erik Johnson Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 The lication looks pretty awesome in how it looks like to be built on the side of a mountain.
jray21 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Looks like a massive and fun ride! Can't wait to ride it someday. Hopefully the next time TPR goes to China. There is no way in the world I would visit there without TPR!
australianalex Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Wood Coaster looks like it craps all over Wodan. What an awesome looking coaster!
thestripedtaco Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Wow that pov just earned this ride a place on my bucket list.
robbalvey Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 This was epic for all the wrong reasons! lol
simaticable Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Absolutely hilarious once again Robb! I swear, you make these videos epic!
DougMJr Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I can't believe that thing exists! Let me guess, the stall was the best part of the ride! Still better theming then Six Flags.
robbalvey Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 Let me guess, the stall was the best part of the ride! Still better theming then Six Flags. Yes it was, and yes it is! lol It's honestly kind of sad how some awful, crappy, totally forgotten about Chinese coaster in the middle of a dumpy park actually has better theming than 90% of all the Six Flags rides out there! TRUE!!!!
Crazy4Coasters! Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 The theming was good enough that the track actually camofaulge really well with the environment. Me and the wifey enjoyed the video very much!
jray21 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Hilarious video! It really is amazing how much better the theming is even at the run down crappy parks! The trip looked like a ton of fun!
rctneil Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Haha, What a cool video. I remember everyone thinking, oh here we go again, yet another knock off coaster so when we got on and started up the lift hill we were all pretty amazed that it actually had theming and it actually wasn't that bad for this type of coaster. That building was pretty big as well. It was quite a shock. The ride gets off to a nice bit of speed and then suddenly it all disappears and comes to that halt. Was really funny.
gisco Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It seems like stalling a coaster is a pretty common occurence on a TPR trip!
cfc Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) ^And this one wasn't even a little kiddie coaster. Yet those tiny Chinese "Fruit Worm" coasters were able to handle the group just fine. Go figure. Edited November 9, 2012 by cfc
Metrofan56 Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 RobbAlvey should show his video of the rip off corkscrew coaster at Zhongshan Park, Wuhan, China in this topic. It has the most messed up looking transition into the corks.
David H Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 He's got literally weeks worth of video to go through. Give him time!
