Romon World to open in China

[_koppen]

Since the only threads in this forum who mentions this park is the "new for 2014", I create this thread.

 

The Maurer coaster is almost finished, with just the launch left.

The HUSS Frisbee is also way into construction.

And here is the new train for it. They scrapped the winged seating concept, and went with this one instead, which is more like the new B&M hyper trains.

Are they going to be this long? I think they look better than the two-cars ones usually used by Maurer. And will this be like freischütz at bayern park (in the way that it only runs one train that can go around the course more than once without stopping)?

The Kanonen with lift hill is so weird. By the way, is that one the first coaster with a lift hill and a top hat? Or Dare Devil Dive got the first one?

[rcjp]

^I don't think that weird thing on Dare Devil Dive is considered a top hat so, yes, I guess this will be the first one.

I found more pice of the park. By the way, the monorail is from Intamin.

[SharkTums]

Aww man, love the look of the little Intamin! I really thought we'd never have to go back out to Ningbo area again, but this looks big enough to bring me back.

[FreeFaller]

That little Intamin looks terrifying close to the wall! You better don't put up your hands

[Werner]

And another park gets a place on the want to visit list... 2016?

[gerstlaueringvar]

This Intamin's turns are not as tight as Kanonen, does that mean it will be using the new lap bar like those 10 Inversion models?

 

Also, any idea why Intamin gave up using the square support?

Does it even matter?

 

Also, they never "gave up" using it... CLICK

The structure of the building inside looks identical to the inner part of Lotte World

 

I would absolutely love to see the finished park

[matteocrepaldi]

Nice park! I really hope to visit China sometime soon!

The outdoor part is even located on an island.

Plus the giant frisbee plus similar theme inside and outside... I see what they're doing haha.

But as long as they fill the park with some Intamin coasters, I'm happy with it.

[Midgetman82]

Holy cow, those are some seriously epic coaster choices. China's really picking it up in the amusement park industry.

[mattnz]

That Intamin coaster looks very, very interesting! As does the rest of the park. Thanks for sharing - had never heard of this development.

[packfanlv]

This park looks like a winner. I love how compact and close to the building the Intamin coaster is.

Forgot about them! I was thinking that the two Intamins at Vialand and this one all used the older style support

[Gnome]

One thing came to mind, "Its TWISTYYYYY!!!!" Lol looks so great! I am awfully jelous of these over seas parks. They're doing it right! look american parks! Its not about bigger being better!

[Jon Sabo]

Thanks for the photos! The park looks pretty cool!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to see how the park turns out when finished.

[WFChris]

Is it me, or are the yellow and red coasters quite similar to each other?

[australianalex]

The Intamin coaster looks awesome. Odd to see Maurer opt for a flat track design for parts of their coaster.

[mrlego611]

Why are so many manufacturers copying Premier Rides' new track?!

 

Look at Premier's track:

 

NOW look at the other companies.

 

Intamin (Except they double-spined theirs):

 

Maurer Sohne:

 

Is it because it's more durable or it eliminates the need for extra supports, I WANNA KNOW!

[A.J.]

Why are so many manufacturers copying Premier Rides' new track?!

Get something straight here - no one copied anyone. The track is designed for the ride, regardless of what manufacturer makes it. There aren't any "honor codes" that I know of, unless there's a patent involved.

 

But, if you REALLY want to get technical -

 

Premier's track uses a square cross-sectioned tie in the shape of a hollowed-out triangle. Intamin's track uses tubes that start wide and get narrow as they approach the running rail, and the rails are connected by tubes, creating the tie. Maurer's track in that application is two-rail for the most of the layout, and the only reason why it looks like Premier's track is because they used a spine for the top hat, loop and corkscrew - probably so they didn't have to support it as much - and needed some way to connect the rails to the spine.

 

Again, I'm filing this one under things that really "don't matter", especially considering that Intamin still uses the box/triangle track that they've always used (EDIT: Did you even see the other coaster in this park?!?)

I didn't know what was the correct word to type so I just said copying. And, yes I did check out the other coaster, and I know they still use the skeleton track. I'm just talking about the new track and why so many manufacturers are using the design. But at least B&M are keeping their box-track!
