Gutterflower Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 The massive new B&M wing coaster at Wanda City in the Chinese city of Wuxi has gone vertical. It seems the light blue and beige track seen at the B&M plant was not for Toverland after all.
Gutterflower Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 Shots of the new B&M Wing Coaster going up at Wanda Wuxi. That is one seriously long brake run.
PKI Jizzman Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Jayzuz. That's a massive brake run. How tall will it be?
JordyC Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 How tall will it be? Acoording to RCDB, 60 m/196 ft.
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Given that the "brake" run includes the station, the transfer track, and the actual brakes... It doesn't seem to be that much larger than Gatekeepers. Can't wait to watch construction of this progress along!!
Gutterflower Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 If the stats are correct this will take the worlds tallest inversion record from Flash as well. But thats a big IF with Chinese rides.
cookiex Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 The same park is getting a Blue Fire clone and an Intamin Impulse similar to Wicked Twister (both spikes are twisted) going by RCDB.
Rill'o'beily Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 The same park is getting an Intamin Impulse similar to Wicked Twister (both spikes are twisted) going by RCDB. A new intamin impulse? Nice to see someone buying one again was the last bought how many years ago? Over a decade maybe?

Rill'o'beily Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Steel Venom at Valleyfair was the last one so nearly fifteen years ago. I love when old models get bought again/revived
rcjp Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 The same park is getting a Blue Fire clone and an Intamin Impulse similar to Wicked Twister (both spikes are twisted) going by RCDB. Wow, that's pretty impressive. And a nice set of coasters
Gutterflower Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 The mack is already on site as well. Although this is the only picture so far
KingRCT3 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Chinese taking measurements to copy the trackstyle?
Gutterflower Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 The enormous new B&M wing coaster at Wanda City in Wuxi is coming along nicely. It sure is big.
Dombot Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 ^ Um... wow. Holy sh*t. This looks like something 10-year-old me would make in No Limits.
LeoBruz199 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Wow. And then people ask "Why are there no B&M's coming in the US next year?" China's become a real gold mine for B&M!
michaellynn4 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 That's huge!! I'm really curious to see a POV of that once it's completed!
chickenbowl Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 New record for tallest inversion?! It beats GateKeeper by almost 30 ft...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 That twisted airtime hill looks like it has potential for some funky air. Can't wait to see more pictures and video when it's completed!
Gutterflower Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 New record for tallest inversion?! It beats GateKeeper by almost 30 ft... yes assuming the stats the park give are correct (Not always a given in China) the ride is 60m tall. Which is around 197ft. Which easily takes Gatekeepers record for tallest wing coaster but also takes Flash's record for tallest inversion (52m/171ft) Here's a few more shots from inside the park.
Nrthwnd Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 It was kind of wierd, seeing photos of the coaster, standing all lonesome, out in the open by itself. Glad to see there are other things being built in the park, lol. Thanks for the new photos.
Canobie Coaster Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 ^ It reminds me of Batwing at Six Flags America. Not sure when I'd ever make it to China, but considering how much I like GateKeeper this looks like an outstanding ride. I hope they're able to add a keyhole element in there somehow.
vertigomkie Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 yes assuming the stats the park give are correct (Not always a given in China) the ride is 60m tall. Which is around 197ft. Which easily takes Gatekeepers record for tallest wing coaster but also takes Flash's record for tallest inversion (52m/171ft) Here's a few more shots from inside the park. If only they made that bridge a diving keyhole element that would greatest wing coaster inversion imaginable. It would be great to have a wing coaster built similar to Montu (with a focus more on near miss elements and theming, rather focusing on the soaring effect (see Wild Eagle and Gatekeeper). It seems the B&M inverted coasters that made that shift really got it right (e.g. Nemesis and Montu). I doubt the layout would extend that far.
Gutterflower Posted November 8, 2017 Author Posted November 8, 2017 Want to see something really quite strange? Intamin's new launched racing invert/sitdown coaster for Wanda Guangzhou in China has shown up at the Stakotra plant in Slovakia. During the launch and first inversion the track shares a kind of double spine track before splitting off for 2 separate duelling layouts. A big shout out to Mario M. at coasterfriends who dug this up. Sources: Stakotra via Coaster-Friends
Dombot Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I don't know whether that ride is gonna be amazing or painful.
