KBrylczyk Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yin, I am impressed. Hopefully this will lead to an outbreak of Expedition GeForce clones. Yeah. Hopefully ones that work. Thanks, btw, for breaking it last year, hahaha! See you in 2016 Mr. Intamin Mega! Stop forcing me at gunpoint to give you money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 They should definitely go with "Leroy Happy World." Or Happy Magic Water World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, btw, for breaking it last year, hahaha! Don't worry, I'm staying the hell away from GeForce. To top that off, it broke in 2010 before I got within 12,000 miles of the thing. Let's hope Expedition ChiForce gets off the ground (don't worry I'll stay away from that one too Kyle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not a Blue Fire clone if so, Even though I love it, I think that 4 is enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 ^ By saying "unique", I do not think it would be a Bluefire clone. Maybe a custom launch coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have heard that they paied 400,000,000 Yuan (666,666,666.7 Dolloars) for the initial payment for their inported roller coasters and 80% of their rides would be inported... WOO HOO!!! That means there would only be a really small amount of Chinese knock-off rides!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well it'll be worth every penny of it! Just wait until the Chinese people starts to see the difference between high quality attractions, and Chinese knock-offs, then they can feel very comfortable with their choice knowing that their park only has quality A material.

gerstlaueringvar Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 The park/Resort will open in May 2015! So TPR's 2016 China Tour cannot miss this because the construction went vertical right now and hopefully it won't delay to 2017! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Looks like this park has run into a couple of legal issues. http://www.kfw001.com/news/html/kfkx/xiangmu/2013/1011/116991.html or here http://finance.sina.com.cn/china/dfjj/20131011/012516951328.shtml Sounds like the park hasn't sorted out its land zoning issues and permits and the local authorities have now opened an Investigation. although hopefully someone who's Chinese is better than mine can translate that page well enough to get a better idea.

gerstlaueringvar Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Basicaly it said that the government hasn't confirm some of the required datas, documents, contracts etc. The company (Lewa) has nearly no background in real estate but they promised huge amount of profit on their advertisement in order to sell their stores, houses, apartment etc and it is somehow illegal in the weird Chinese law. Chinese law does not allow to promise about the profit of purchasing real estate and making advertisement before all the contracts, documents and datas being approved and confirmed by the government. The company had an issue that their licence were not completed so they sold some of their stores in an illegal way(Probably only illegal in China and North Korea ) The promotion said their shopping center would have a lot of luxurious brands like Hermes. The way they sell the houses(rent back from you after you buy the houses) is still not enough to reach what being promised in their advertisement and the profit can hardly reach 9% per year. The population on Xi'an is only 8 million but they said 10 million visitors would visit there every year for their amusement park(I'm so buying flash pass!!!) But some business expert said it is impossible for that amount of visitors because most of the locals might not visit the area more than once and most visitors are coming for historical things in Xi'an instead of an amusement park. The reporters are trying to contact with the company's management to gather news about things being reported but they haven't been responed yet. Firstly, Chinese law might be different from the rest of the world so it might be weird to see something totally fine being illegal. Secondly, the price of freehold raise in a crazy speed in China so people are trying to buy as many houses, stores, land as they can. Thirdly and mose importantly, I don't think our Intamin god would be delayed too much. It's completely a normal thing in China and shouldn't be a big problem. We have a lot of things that are much more important to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Great! I've been looking for a reason to bring one of the TPR Tours over to Xi'an and this will certainly do it! See you in 2016 Mr. Intamin Mega! What, the Emperor's Tombs and the Terra Cotta Warrior's were not enough? You WILL regreat it if you visit there. Just like the Great Wall, Forbidden City etc, all you can see is people and things that you can easily find in Google and Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Does anyone know about the other coasters except for the Intamins, the Mack(s), the Maurer(s) and the Vekoma(s)? Maybe RMC will give a surprise ? Or maybe the first Euro Fighter in China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Not a good news for most coaster enthusiasts and probbaly German people! It is possible that Alpinabahn and one of the two Wild Mauses are coming to this park. I feel kind of upset about this news. I think Alpinabahn and Wild Maus belong to German fairs and they should stay in the fairs! Second handed coaster certainly have a good price plus Uncle Anton's coasters are famous for the reliability and high capacity. But these coasters had been on he fair ground for a long time! Even though they are not as famous as Olympis Looping, I would definitely say that they are also important for their historical value. From my perspective, after the possible Expedition GeForce clone, losing Alpinabahn and one of the Wild Mauses is another bad news for Germany. What do you think?
