Gutterflower Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Having just written the China Guide for 2014 I was amazed to find there was no thread for HotGo Park. Under Construction in Fushun. One of the parks that the Gravity Group announced would be getting a new wooden coaster this park is due to open in 2015 and already has an almost completed hotel which looks to have strong disney influence. The hotel on its own is worth a thread. Originally called Fushun Dreamworld the park and hotel was designed by the Goddard Group and they have a load of images on their site. More images can be found at Rhetroactive. The park is also expected to get 3 Vekoma coasters including a launched ride, a suspended family coaster and a mine train. Fushun is already home to the insane 515ft Ring Of Life. And yes you can take a ride to the top. http://www.amusingplanet.com/2013/06/ring-of-life-515-feet-ring-of-steel-in.html Edited December 3, 2016 by Gutterflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) The new Gravity Group Woodie looks pretty stunning already. These 2 images are taken from outside the park.

rcjp Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 ^Looks like a really nice, relatively long layout. Those pictures do look pretty good. I like how it's in the middle of all those trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hopefully the first brand new Gravity Group big wooden coaster with Timberliners will work better than Hades360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Holy seriously tall footers, Batman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I don't know if it is because they're using wooden supports, but I'm kind of surprised that they didn't support the bottom of that drop/hill similar to Ravine Flyer II where it is bridged in sections and limited the amount footers used (which I'm not sure if that was the purpose with Ravine Flyer II, but it would seem to make sense here). That is just a lot of concrete. Can anybody recall footers that tall for any roller coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Humm... I see the shadow of Ocean Kingdom's hotel. I was thinking more "merge Magic Kingdom's castle with Disneyland Paris' Disneyland Hotel." It does look purty, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 ^ Awesome! I personally don't mind the Timberliner trains and felt they worked just fine on Twister and Wooden Warrior. Hades 360 on the other hand was brutal (although they tracked just fine through the new section!) Looking forward to these new coasters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noporian Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Why? They look like the same trains as Twister in liseberg. And those are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just kidding, I was saying that because it has long Timberliner trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigaG Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 ^ *cough* Goliath and Outlaw Run *cough* I sorta mean the "old-style" ones. China gets a lot more, even if they are a bit less intense. They still look cool (Voyage and RFII are good coasters from what I've heard.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Awesome! I love the Timberliner's and it's really cool to see them on a big ride that is not brutal from years of wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 So I remember reading on TGG's website that at least two of these coasters they're designing for China are supposed to have an inversion. Does anybody know which one or if any of them will have inversions at all? Just curious to see how TGG's designs them into the their newer layouts and how it differentiates from the layouts of the RMC looping woodies.

They still look cool (Voyage and RFII are good coasters from what I've heard.) I get what you mean. Still, given that you already have a few of those there, I don't think I would mind getting these "new-school" ones now if I lived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see all these super-interesting woodies in China. Of course, the US has recently gotten Gold Striker, which is awesome. One thing China has over the US - Mega-Lites. The US may have I305 and NTAG, but Asia has small parks that have jumped on the opportunity to build an airtime machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious to see how TGG's designs them into the their newer layouts and how it differentiates from the layouts of the RMC looping woodies. Two of the four coasters for Fantawild will have inversion(s) and use Timberliners. The other two will use PTC trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm pretty sure TGG have sold at least 6 new woodies to China now with Fantawild buying 5 of them (the 6th being this one at Hotgo). The new cultural parks in Jinan, Wuhu and Hangzhou will get the inversion toting woodies with the Timberliners (I imagine they will be clones) with Zhuzhou and Zhengzhou getting the PTC ones. Heres a copy of M&V's advert in a recent Asia Attractions magazine for those who are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 The first stage of the park is due to soft open tomorrow from what I can gather on the official site So hopefully there will be more pictures of this beast sometime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm actually excited about this What's happening to me? FuShun is way too far from where I live, in fact, I do t think I would have any excuse to go over there in recent years. Hopefully some coaster communities will have someone to do a coverage of this ride soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
