rcjp Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well, it's not everyday you get to see one of those rides turning out to be good. Those loops actually looked like they provided some hangtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 LOL! I had no idea what you meant by sea lion brakes. There's truth in that comment if you watch the whole video. I also couldn't tell if that was pain, pleasure, or a combination of the two coming from the lady sitting in the front seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It looked/sounded like everything BUT the loops were rough, there. And sea lion brakes.... good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Turbo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Now let's hope that no animal activists here about the sea lion brakes and think that there is actually sea lions stopping the train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I rode it back to 2007, I don't think the restraints were actually locked because the ride op tied the OTSR's with the seat belts really right and the OTSR's moved on a huge range. Front row has some decent ejector before hitting the brake and the loops are pretty intense, that's what I remember about this ride. I waited 3.5 hours for this ride and I talked to a staff that this coaster could use a second train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 that the coaster actually looks to be really fun is just the icing! SO much to love here: -- the cheesy music in the opening shot -- the amount of marijuana growing thru the lift hill -- the insanity of the LOOK of thread the needle -but only thru ONE of the loops! -- that helix. . OMG, that great helix -- the woman next to you. . LOL -- those brakes! perfect description. I want one of these in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It looked/sounded like everything BUT the loops were rough, there. And sea lion brakes.... good call. I thought the helix looked quite fast and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayTPI Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That coaster looks like it was built a while ago and is still maintained greatly today! I would love to ride it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Those OTSRs with seatbelts wrapped around them look like something Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies would've made--only he would've used rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disney4me2001 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 This coaster actually looks fun and not too rough! In fact, from what I saw in the background, the whole park looks pretty nice. Must have been a great contrast from the other parks around China! The only thing that bothers me slightly is the amount of foliage sticking up through the track before the lift. But it's not like that can't be fixed really easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intamin_coyote Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Those kicker wheels sure are a unique touch!

Cyrbuzz Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Wow a garden that grows roller coasters. I guess to furtilize it they had to scare the crap out of the riders first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
