ZeroGravity55 Posted November 16, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Is that Boomerang real or a knockoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Found some satellite images of the park under construction. Â Perhaps Malaysian Airlines should hire you to find that plane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share 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.

Paradox Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That looks really fun! I also love how the inversion is all wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOGdude25 Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 14, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 They probably PhotoShoped it because of the smog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted January 14, 2015 Share 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.

gerstlaueringvar Posted January 14, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
