Chinese moterbike coaster. Longtaiji Amusement Ride

It has to have two lifts to get it back to the station.

Looks awful

Sounds like it needs a better moter.

That's just embarrassing right there.

Gotta love the imaginative Chinese coaster companies...

But at least it's a unique layout, not an attempt at a 100% carbon copy of a western coaster. It's not a good coaster, but whatever, smaller kids will enjoy it.

 

I can get over them "copying" popular design elements like the seating configuration, that's pretty much normal in any industry, but it's the lousy attempts at simply carbon-copying the complete package based on pictures with no thought process behind it that drives me nuts. There is a fairly new knock-off of a Mack water coaster prototype out there somewhere in china that looks so dumb because they tried to simply copy Mack's layout but did a crappy job at it so it's weirdly elongated and pointless looking. They obviously didn't care about figuring out why Mack designed it that way, they just made a poor attempt to reproduce what they saw in a picture.

 

So all that to say: it could be worse.

^ This could also be worse, judge from their test field, I don't think the designers have been properly trained for amusement ride design. I'm afraid they haven't done any safety envelope testing.

It could definitely be worse.
