Photo TR: Shima Park (July 9, 2014)

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

On July 9, 2014, I visited the city of Loudi in Hunan province. This city is roughly in the center of China and does not get a lot of foreign visitors. I went there to visit Shima Park, which, according to RCDB, has two coasters. I got there to discover that there are three coasters. A kiddie coaster is there that is not on RCDB. I have now discovered 240 coasters before RCDB or ACE could find them. A mouse coaster and a spinning coaster, with a car that is a knock of of the Zamperla Disko coaster cars were also here, although the spinning coaster doesn't operate anymore. I rode the mouse and the kiddie coaster and then left. This was actually a nice park for what it was. It is certainly a park that most non-Chinese will never get to visit. The two coasters I rode here brought my track record up to 869 coasters. Shima Park became the 392 park I have visited.

Today I am going to visit Shima Park in Loudi. Not too many non-Chinese go to this city or this park.

This is right inside the entrance.

There is a small lake in Shima Park.

This nice carousel calls Shima Park home.

These can't operate in the USA.

This coaster is not yet on RCDB or the ACE census.

Here is the station for the kiddie coaster.

The kiddie coaster has some nice landscaping.

A mouse coaster is here.

It is a little bit different from the others I have ridden in China.

This is the first mouse of this type I have ridden.

A spinning coaster is here.

Although the spinning coaster was not open, the cars look like the cars on the Disko coasters.
