gerstlaueringvar Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wanda Wuxi is building the tallest, fastest wing coaster with the most complicated layout and the best theming... I don't know how they can say their wing coaster has the best theming and the most complicated layout though... The train is blue and themed to Chinese eagle(I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the Chinese population don't know there's something called Chinese eagle) Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 It doesn't mention a manufacturer I notice but the concept art looks B&Mish I guess. It looks like an Inverted drop. This park isn't due until 2016/17 though If I remember correctly? It's cool Wanda are keeping their parks different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterchitchat Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Here's the article translated according to google. November 21, Wanda text brigade hospital and world-renowned theme park design company after several rounds of discussions to finalize the Wuxi Wanda theme park, one of the most important innovation in equipment - wing coaster car body design.The wing will be the world's tallest roller coaster, the fastest, most complex trajectory, the scene of the most abundant wing coaster to soar eagle as a design concept, each body are designed for three-dimensional fiberglass Chinese Yingtou , Yiyu Accumulate, hawk, mechanical cantilever with sky blue printing on both sides, showing the spectacular design effect. By then, the only roller coaster ride visitors will experience the thrills of the world's unique, park visitors in the park from any angle can watch the flying in the sky among the mountain eagle wings shuttling between the creative wing coaster will make this one of the biggest highlights of the Wuxi Wanda theme park. It somewhat looks/sounds like a Chinese knock-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 ^Yeah it kind of does. When gerstlaueringvar first posted about a world's tallest and fastest wing coaster I thought B&M but after going to their website and seeing the concept art it does smell like knock-off.

gerstlaueringvar Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 ^ I think Wanda will keep their major coaster "clean" give that their boss is the richest people in China, he definitely can afford a "cheap" B&M. This looks like a mixture of Gatekeeper and Parrot Coaster to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 ^If it really is a B&M I will be looking forward to it given that Parrot Coasters seems to be getting better reviews than most other wing coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 These images appeared on RCD the other day showing the layouts of the 3 coasters at Wanda Nanchang. GCI Woodie We've seen this before but part of the plans for the woodie. Intamin Mega Coaster We've seen most of this layout before but heres a better view Unknown Inverted Coaster The third coaster from an unknown manufacturer. Looks like a B&M but it could really be anyone. If it is a Chinese built SLC at least it has its own layout. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Interesting how the Mega Coaster makes a turn before the first drop. It definitely has a unique layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I built an intense version of that inverted coaster: Yep, still not a fan of the T3 color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Some construction of the park in Xisuangbanna too. B&M looks good although it has a very shallow drop. The Zamperla Pony Express is up too and it looks to me like a clone of the Knott's version (Can anyone confirm? I'm guessing of a fuzzy memory of the ride) No sign of the Intamin water coaster yet though. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That definitely looks like a clone of Pony Express to me. Same color scheme, too. I really like the colors of the B&M, though. Looks like it will be a fun ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 After Banshee, it takes a while to get used to the drown out first drop. I really wish there will be more theming around the flyer. It's themed to eagle in the rainforest so some tree fly throughs would be awesome. Park's opening is coming soon so hope they will get their Intamin ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hey...hey Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Has anyone seen this? rcdb.com/12414.htm New record breaker accelerator with a loop on the return. A little addition to the one trick pony. Will have to wait to see some more info on it, and if it actually gets built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, isn't it a bit odd that they advertise it as higher than Ka yet not as fast? Anyway, It would be really cool to see such a colossal loop getting built.

gerstlaueringvar Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Some updates from Nanchang park! Is that i305 at upper left? Also isn't "fairy lady land" kind of offensive? That SLC is running two trains. Please don't collide! Intamin!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any reason why Wanda went with the knockoff SLC instead of a Vekoma one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any reason why Wanda went with the knockoff SLC instead of a Vekoma one? They probably find out that they can't poop money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
