ZeroGravity55 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Looks just like Hades 360's supports set up on the inversion. Hope it isn't the same inversion on all three of the inverting woodies going into the Fantawild Parks. I kinda would like to see a little creativity even though they're probably limited in what they can do.
SharkTums Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Found some satellite images of the park under construction. Â Perhaps Malaysian Airlines should hire you to find that plane!
Gutterflower Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Found some satellite images of the park under construction.  Perhaps Malaysian Airlines should hire you to find that plane! Weirdly I've just applied to some work on the ships doing the searching off the coast of Australia so maybe I will be.  Is that Boomerang real or a knockoff? It is a real one It's weird to be happy about that.  Looks just like Hades 360's supports set up on the inversion. Hope it isn't the same inversion on all three of the inverting woodies going into the Fantawild Parks. I kinda would like to see a little creativity even though they're probably limited in what they can do. Of the 3 woodies we've seen so far only 2 are inverting.  The one in Zhuzhou is a Fjord Dragon clone  The one in Jinan unfortunatly looks like the same inversion. (I'm assuming the S bend on the left is the inversion)  I'm 99% the new park in Zhengzhou will be getting a Gravity Group woodie too although its not official yet. But I bet there's a fair chance we will find out more on all of these at IAAPA next week. Edited November 9, 2015 by Gutterflower
Gutterflower Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 The Wuhu Cultural Park is coming along nicely. The M&V / Gravity Group Wooden coaster looks almost done now too. Â
Gutterflower Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Here's some construction shots of the GG/M&V wooden coaster at the Fantawild Cultural Park in Wuhu. The inversion is hard to spot but it goes over the first drop and can bee seen on the left of the third image. Â Looks like it could be a cracking ride with some good airtime. Â Â Â Â Source
Paradox Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 That looks really fun! I also love how the inversion is all wood.
rcjp Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 ^Me too. I know there will always need to be some steel bits but personally, I prefer when it looks as "woody" as possible.
Gutterflower Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 There are also 2 pictures of the Jinan Cultural Heritage Park version too. The ride has a different layout but its tough to see much in the low res images.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I don't know why I like this photo so much. But it just looks so awesome!! Can't wait to see this progress.
SFOGdude25 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 These Gravity Group woodies have such an elegance to them. This one is beautiful! We need more of these in the U.S.!
Gutterflower Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 2 more pics of Jinan's stunning woodie   Source  That is one awesome looking inversion next to the lake.
Nrthwnd Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 With the sky the way it is, that second photo almost looks like a painting to me.
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 ^Ha! I thought it was a painting until you said something! Â Gravity Group is definitely getting business in China. Hopefully there will be some more of their rides in the U.S. in the future.
_koppen Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 With the sky the way it is, that second photo almost looks like a painting to me. Â That's exactly what I was thinking!
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 They probably PhotoShoped it because of the smog.
ZeroGravity55 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I'm amazed at how creative TGG is when working with just a flat piece of ground. Most designers will tell you they do their best and most creative work when they're challenged with space limitations and changes in the terrain, ext. I'll also jump on the boat of saying that the wooden coasters with wooden supports looks so much better than those that use the steel supports.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Gorgeous photos for sure. Too bad the first one is ruined with that Boomerang in the background!
Gutterflower Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Speaking of the first drop. Here it is. Looks pretty good to me.
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 After all those steep first drops by RMC, this one actually makes me want to modify it and add a double up... Â What happened to me?
Gutterflower Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Hey man. Those same pictures are on the page before but they're still good.
