Gutterflower Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) 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.

rcjp Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Oh finally. Wasn't this ride originally planned for this year? At least that's what RCDB says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 The train for Xishuangbanna Theme Park's version of Zampearla's Pony Express is looking really quite excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ha! I love the fake legs, on this pony express, LOL! Is this the same design as the train in Knott's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) 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.

markysharky17 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 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. (From the first page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 However, in real life the track doesn't look like going throught the pretzel loop. It does. See bottom left of this photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) The track definitely does cut through the pretzel loop. Edited November 6, 2014 by jedimaster1227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 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. Sources: Baidu -------------------------------------- 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've been on that Ferris wheel, it's from Meisho if I remember correctly. That's an independent attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
