GigaG Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Remember that especially horrible Hebei Zhongye Metallurgical Equipment Manufacturing knockoff SLC from Jinling Happy World? Well, that same company has built another one- http://rcdb.com/11080.htm By the way, I seem to remember that one badly engineered knockoff SLC needed its sidewinder reprofiled in a very painful way. Was that the Jinling one or some other company's? And can I get a picture of that? Edit - Never mind about the picture, you can see some of the Chinese knockoff failures including that sidewinder here- the sidewinder actually belongs to this coaster I've posted about in the first place - it just opened, apparently. http://forum.nolimits-exchange.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2910&page=6 And for my old thread with the same pictures (I really should have bumped it, but I've already posted this), look no further than here-don't post there, post here http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1436028 Look there to see a launched Loop Screw and more! Interesting note - All pics from RCDB of the SLC testing were taken on April 22 and show a "normal" Hebei sidewinder, while a pic posted by gerstlaueringvar and others was posted before that. Were the April 22 pictures just uploaded then, or did they re-modify the sidewinder? Was the "flat-top" version the new version and the "kinked" version the old one? Was the Jinling model built with the "kink" before? Edited August 6, 2014 by GigaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDark8 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I may have to drag myself to China to give this thing a run. The hype is real. Edited August 6, 2014 by TheDark8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
