Gutterflower Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) A small but weird bit of news. Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia is building a new coaster for 2016 from Interpark. The ride is essentially a mash up between a wild mouse and a water coaster with a series of sharp turns and small drops before a larger hill into a splash down below. This ride kind of maker sense for what is essentially a water park with some dry rides but it is a little odd. The coaster will feature hovercraft themed cars and aprox 984ft of track Source Edited March 12, 2016 by Gutterflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Looks like fun! It's so nice to see an original layout for a mouse coaster rather than the typical switchbacks over switchbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspence1127 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 That might make my "top 5 weirdest coasters" list when it's done. (Behind Chinese knockoffs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Very unique. I will be interested to see how well people will respond to this, because it probably beats the typical Zamperla/Mack mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrozooka0 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Ah, the joys of weird coasters that, unlike Chinese knockoffs, won't try to rape you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Believe me or not, but this weird combination already exists: Made by L&T Systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Believe me or not, but this weird combination already exists: Made by L&T Systems. The tunnel portion is like a mix of Nights in White Satin at Hard Rock Park and a car wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm not a fan of splashdowns in third world countries This park is very not third world. Parts of Malaysia for sure, but this place is in Kuala Lumpur and very modern. *I* would even probably ride this! (Maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should note that I didn't mean to imply that it was anywhere near the realm of Nights, just that it looks like someone tried to theme a drive-thru car wash to it.

_koppen Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Sunway Lagoon was a really big surprise for me, the park is very nice and clean and the water park is totally awesome! Also that water-mouse in the video looks better than 90% of todays wild mouse coaster's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Sunway Lagoon was a really big surprise for me, the park is very nice and clean and the water park is totally awesome! I actually went to Sunway on a bad day. The powered coaster was being removed and the mine train was closed. The park was very clean but the locker policy drove me round the bend. It's certainly a step up from some of the other local parks though. Certainly a park I'd be willing to give another shot. Back on topic though the new coaster has gone vertical. Looks better than the concept art Source looks a bit different to the original concept art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Well that ride/video for (Selva Encantada) looks like more fun than the local ride I'm use to.....Goofy's Sky School at DCA in Anaheim. I loved the cool track lay out (in this video), with the addition of water...Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Another couple of new images as the water splash section goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I thought the coaster in the video looked really fun too, and totally something I would try! The new coaster looks more solid in terms of construction. Hopefully if this one does well, we could see it hit more parks elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
