ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I'm going to guess Bangalore, and that you're going to Wonderla next. I can't read any of the writing in the clues. But you're going by airplane, so it must be a fair distance from Mumbai. You've also said that you want to make India a TPR trip, so you probably are staying in India. So after Adlabs Imagica, Wonderla Bangalore is a logical spot to check out for future tours. Â So there's my rationale. More of a guess than a deduction, really, but some thought went into it at least. Edited February 16, 2014 by ytterbiumanalyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 That roller-coaster really reminds me of Zipper-Dipper at Blackpool, is it a clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotlanta Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Do you know if the park is part of a chain/franchise or is it completely independent, because that would make it even more impressive. The park is part of the media conglomerate Reliance Mediaworks. They have movie theaters in India & US. They are also in movie production, post-production among a million other things outside the entertainment industry. Turns out, that's actually not true. I had dinner with the park owner last night. He used to own "Adlabs", which is the media the conglomerate, but he sold off that part of the company and is now using the name under permission and has started the park. Â The park is independently owned! Â Thanks for the details Rob. Based on the name i thought Reliance was part of the ownership. Even more impressive that it's an independent operation.

The Zipper Dipper clone is at Essel World in Mumbai. This is a clone of the Southport Cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 For some reason I love the paint job on that coaster. It seems so original. Â That giant rock with the faces on it looks a bit death-defying, in a malaria sort of way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 For a second I thought I'd mis-read about the original being demolished and thought maybe the original had been relocated and had to go to RCDB to check the dates, interesting that 2 parks in India have clones of rides from the parks owned by the Thompson family, are the parks with the clones owned by the same company? I'd really laugh if this was an exact clone to the point of keeping the wonky lift hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Does it has a crooked lift hill like the old Southport Cyclone? Edited February 16, 2014 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So this latest park led me to peruse RCDB and I came across this ride. I am very intrigued by it for some reason. It goes along with the credit you all got that was "closed" and ready to fall apart....I find the ride vehicle to be somewhat sketchy!!!

robbalvey Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 ^ We mounted our camera to that and sent it around, but we didn't ride it. We didn't feel like getting wet and we aren't that big of credit whores. IMO, that's a splash down boat, not a roller coaster, regardless of what Duane might claim it is.
