HAZE Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Is that even a question? Half question, half exclamation. With the exceptions of Mega Coaster at Hamanako Pal Pal, and Ultra Twister at Rusutsu Resort, it seems that Togo rides have at least one thing wrong with them. Isn't there a Togo in China somewhere? Didn't TPR film a POV on it? If someone could find it, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAZE Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 ^That was odd. It looks like those bunny hops near the end may have given some air. Yeah, but not good air like a Gerstlauer Bobsled counter-part... Seems more like jerky painful air like on Magnum or any other Arrow Hyper Lemme guess, TOGO?! Is that even a question?

KingRCT3 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 You all know that camelback in the chinese SLC's... Well, SLB (Beijing Shibaolai Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd.) decided to turn it into a zero-g roll... or something. Source, thanks to HappyTreeX1 on NLE. EDIT: Oh wait, they also copied the Volare!

GwaziBSRider1 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Riding a knock-off Volare sounds like a great way to torture terrorists. Maybe the US should install one at Guantanamo Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That SLC is the prototype at Shijingshan Park, I guess even the most shock resistant train can't take that much torture so they turned the initial Zero G Bang and Inline Knock elements into an Airtime Quake and an Inline Bump. I don't think Shibaolai built a Volare knock-off, that's a real Zamperla turture machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 ^ Yep, you're right. The zero-g roll was actually there in the first place, then was removed into the camel back : You can see the supports match the former roll. (RCDB) About the Volare, it's indeed difficult to know if it's their product or an actual picture of another manufacturer. But the fact they think about doing it is already terrifying...

gerstlaueringvar Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Seems like Shibaolai sold another knock-off SkyLoop to Huhehaote. The red and yellow coaster is the triple corkscrew coaster. It takes some extreme creativity to make something that horrible. This actually looks a bit like Outlaw Run's 3rd barrel roll. But with pain. Four car per train? Eww! That's awful! What's that?

StuckInSD Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'd like to imagine the guys working at Shibaolai tying their necks to that Star Flyer and hanging themselves in shame. Without the seats, it looks like a glorified weed whacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmbgo12 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Wanna know something that just sounds painful? A brand new chinese company attempting a coaster with two loops and three corkscrews. Well it doesn't just have to sound painful anymore... Zhipao has made it a reality Doesn't the Medium Sized City of Victoria Coaster sound amazing! If that ride isn't your type maybe try out the 89 Meters of Ferris Wheel, the "Aloft Recreation", or 66 Meters or Space Shuttle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
