New Wanda Parks in China.

[Gutterflower]

We have seen some concept art of the layout before and the track was spotted at the B&M plant months ago but now I’ve finally found some shots of the Xishuangbanna B&M Flyer under construction.

 

I must admit I like the off green supports with the bright yellow track and it will work well with the expected butterfly theme.

Oh finally. Wasn't this ride originally planned for this year? At least that's what RCDB says.

[A.J.]

Eagle Fortress? Is that you?

[gerstlaueringvar]

Strangely this place looks like Parrot Coaster's site a lot

The train for Xishuangbanna Theme Park's version of Zampearla's Pony Express is looking really quite excellent.

[Nrthwnd]

Ha! I love the fake legs, on this pony express, LOL!

Is this the same design as the train in Knott's?

[KingRCT3]

It looks like, yes:

That train looks awesome! To bad it will ride like absolute crap..

[Gutterflower]

That's the B&M flyer complete. The construction pictures below show the completion of the ride but unfortunately don’t show off the ride layout too well.

 

The water splash down element (Manta style) is behind the Pretzel just before the turn being completed here.

This looks amazing. I hope they build another B&M flyer in America soon! Can anyone find a photo of how the layout will look when done?

[rcjp]

Yeah it doesn't really show much of the layout but thanks for posting.

It's always great to see one of these getting built. Wasn't it supposed to open this year? I guess that's not happening.

[KingRCT3]

The concept-art in page 1 seems to be close to reality. However, in real life the track doesn't look like going throught the pretzel loop.

It does. See bottom left of this photo:

The track definitely does cut through the pretzel loop.

Wanda's relentless march shows know sign of stopping as they have also announced another theme park in Guangzhou. Including an indoor ski center, water park, hotel and theme park. The whole complex is due to open in 2018. This is the groundbreaking ceremony.

 

 

Outdoor theme park covers an area of ​​60 hectares, highlight local culture, visitors can ride the world's first multi-media roller coaster track off the shuttle in Wuyang mountains, but also to experience the world's first combination of Ssangyong sit-hanging roller coaster, as well as the world's only interactive sea warships , is the world-class theme amusement park.

 

Building in Guangzhou puts it in direct competition with Chimelong and within easy distance of Hong Kong so it will be interesting to see how they fare. All their other parks seem to be in cities without major parks.

And for those following things. Wanda Nanchang is coming along nicely. They seem to have kept the ferris wheel from the old park that was on the site. But no sign of the GCI or Intamin's yet.

 

[gerstlaueringvar]

I've been on that Ferris wheel, it's from Meisho if I remember correctly. That's an independent attraction.

Ha thanks, silly me.

[Gutterflower]

Wanda have released this image for the new trains on that monster GCI called Viper going to Nanchang

Got to admit it looks pretty good and surprisingly like the source image.

[GwaziBSRider1]

That's an absolutely gorgeous train! Definitely one of the best themed trains I've ever seen.

[gerstlaueringvar]

More pictures from Wanda!!!

[_koppen]

Dammit I hate snakes!

[rcjp]

Looks great! I think the snake theming will go pretty well with those long articulated GCI trains.

[Geauga Dog]

Wow, that Viper car looks awesome. Now Iron Rattler has an Asian cousin.

[gerstlaueringvar]

I think Iron Rattler train is all cool and awesome but this one is just creepy...
