Weird Chinese Coasters

[rcjp]

The second one is really messed. From the back to back loops that sort of look like a batwing with a different entrance and exit. To the non-banked turn after the loops, and then the weird corkscrews. I am just glad the engineers are a little better with the mainstream companies (Arrow, B&M, etc)

OMG only now with your post did I notice the turn after the loops is completely unbanked

I didn't notice it either! Damn, that thing must be awful. Of course, being the idiot credit whore that I am wouldn't stop me from riding it...

[MFJorts]

What shall we name the deformed corkscrew?

Haha! me too. I would actually like to try one of these seriously messed up coasters as I haven't been on any.

That looks absolutely terryfying!! It does make me wonder what the designers are thinking when they build these rides...

[hey...hey]

Hold up folks, I might be seeing something. It looks like the non-banked turn leads to the lift and also comes from the corkscrews. It is kind of hard to see from that angle.

[rcjp]

^I don't think so. The turn connecting the lift and the station goes under the turn of death. There only turn after the corkscrews leads to the brake run.

[hey...hey]

^So I guess I was right with the unbanked turn after the loop to the corkscrews...that make me sick just looking at it again.

Hmm, I don't think the train is supposed to separate like that...

Of course it was!! It's a ride feature.

Not trying to flog a dead horse but dug up some better pics of the new Zhipao ride with the terrible banking.

Just what I need. Screwcork mayhem...

[rcjp]

I wonder how all their necks didn't break during that turn.

Let's play a game.

 

Would you rather ride:

Screwcork

Wonderwinder

I'd call it the "Go Home Max Immelmann, You're Drunk"

I rode that last month.. It's weird as it doesn't look anything like that image.

So I have no idea whats going on with those pictures anymore.

 

 

While it wasn't anywhere near as bad as that image. It wasn't a good ride by any means.

How does it compare to a real Vekoma?

Imagine repeatedly enduring a rear-end car collision for about a minute or so--that's the Chinese version of an SLC. The Vekoma original is buttery smooth by comparison.

Wow. Even more so the Gouderix?

Now this you be a very nice trap! To unlock the device you must ride the knock-off SLC!

Oh hell no

Haven't been on Goudurix yet, but I can pretty much guarantee Goudurix is smoother.

I recall hearing that they reprofiled the ride. Still looks bizarre!
