gerstlaueringvar Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any reason why Wanda went with the knockoff SLC instead of a Vekoma one? Wanda always does things in a weird way. Their boss is the richest man in China! His car worths more than a Vekoma SLC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 First support of the new GCI is up! Please complete it faster so I can ride this great looking woodie sooner! Â Photo from GCI's Facebook page. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 ^Really looking forward to seeing how a GCI of that size turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 They really need to step up! To me it seems impossible to get it done by the end of 2015 with their pace. This is what they've got? There would be a subway station here. Zierer! Look closely to this photo... That custom SBL invert, please don't kill anyone! We've got an Intamin erection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is that a giant mall under construction? Looks very similar to the Dubai Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Up goes the Intamin mega coaster in Nanchang   It's tough to see what colour the track is but it I think its sort of orangy red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaman Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's so awesome to see new Intamin construction going on elsewhere in the world given their gradual disappearance stateside over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh51 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Several good coasters and an awful knock-off SLC. I wonder if the money men at this park have ever ridden a Golden Horse abomination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Oh some action on the Intamin! Hopefully we'll see more photos soon, cause this ride is one of the ones I find really interesting this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 The mine train at Wanda in Harbin is going up. Looks like that rarest of things, a custom Chinese design. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Looks like Kärnan isn't the only big coaster this year with a complicated support structure! Also looks like it will get the same I-beam lift that Goliath and the new 10-inversion coasters have. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) For reference here is the expected layout of this ride. Â Edited November 9, 2015 by Gutterflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I thought the trend now was to use fewer and fewer supports but I'm sure they had a reason to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just to clarify that Intamin coaster is at Wanda in Xishuangbanna not Nanchang where the mega coaster is.  And time to add another one into the mix  The new custom Chinese built mine train being built at Wanda City in Harbin is looking pretty good to be honest. Great to see one of the Chinese companies going for a properly custom layout for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Some more close ups of the Wanda Nanchang Coasters including that incredible looking Intamin hyper coaster and the massive GCI Viper.     Source  Those are a few weeks old. I found this image of the Intamin with the drop and first overbank done but its tiny. However that drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Looks awesome! Glad to see an update to the Superman clones. Do we know if there's meant to be a water feature (i.e. Manta) on that turn at the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
