Gutterflower Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Remember the lime green B&M track seen at the factory we saw here a while back? It has finally shown up and gone vertical at the new under construction Happy Valley park in Chongqing The park is also due to get a GCI wooden coaster which has wood on site already but no vertical construction Look closely here for an artists impression of how the new ride will look Edited July 15, 2017 by Gutterflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyC Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 When this opens, there will be 4 B&M wing coasters in China, right? That's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyboy60 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I like how all the Happy Valleys at least look different. I will go to China one day to do some of the hundreds of parks that are currently being built there + there are so many B&M's over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this will open in late 2017 this will actually be the second to open of five. There is Parrot Coaster at Ocean Kingdom already open and the one at Hotgo Park which is built but won't open until 2018. There are then two more at Wanda Wuxi and Colourful Yunan which havent gone vertical yet and open in 2018/19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These projects are so obscure to us so it great that you're keeping track! Where do these images usually come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Gutterflower, I want to thank you for compiling all this info. These projects are so obscure to us so it great that you're keeping track! Where do these images usually come from? As always my pleasure. As for where. thats a tricky question as it tends to be a lot of places. In this instance it is their official Weibo page http://www.weibo.com/5576040030/album?from=reclayer&wvr=5&loc=tabalbum#profile_tab I believe you won't be able to see it as you have to be a member of Weibo. Which is tricky to do sometimes but I believe they now at least have English signups. I have most major Chinese parks followed and bookmarked on here so I quite often see what they post quickly Another useful site i often use is gaoloumi.com which is essentially a chinese version of Skyscrapercity. But again you need an account to see most of the pictures http://www.gaoloumi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=904035&extra=&page=233 Baidu is also handy. This page for roller coasters is used often by the Roller Coaster Dream club members. http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%B9%FD%C9%BD%B3%B5 My friends and the RCD members themselves quite often send some pictures my way as well. So a few different places. When pictures come from a particular member i try and give credit but sometimes especially with Chinese news sites its really tough to figure out where the original pictures came from. The Chinese news agencies have no issues with just using whatever pictures. As an update. Heres some pictures of the GCI wood also now on site at this park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Kewl. So it's gonna have the standard dive drop, zero-g roll, vertical loop, and... something something straight track? I would hope for there to be an obscured airtime hill. And that turn immediately after looks cool, as if it were two overbanked half-turns with a funky transition in-between.

Gutterflower Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 The GCI has gone vertical. Looks like it will use the terrain well I assume this chap is reading the Ikea style instruction manual on coaster construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 MuziFulun has posted these two pictures of the new B&M wing coaster at Chongqing Happy Valley. While its good to see progress on what appears to be an huge airtime hill as the second element he has perhaps gone a bit overboard on the photo shop sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That photoshop has a similar effect of the B&M rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterer Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Oooo, an airtime hill on a wingrider?? That'll be interesting. The photoshop is great, haha. I love the way the track fades into the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstech25 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I've been to Chongqing on business and would never willingly go there again, the smog is way worse and more consistent than any other city i've been to. I literally could not see anything out of the hotel window even though I was downtown in the middle of a fully lit-30 million people metropolis. It makes Shanghai seem like Switzerland.

Gutterflower Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Update from the park. Including a couple which really get across the mountain location of this park. Could be quite a view. Photos show the B&M wing coaster, GCI wooden coaster and golden horse mine train as well as the large Ferris Wheel currently going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 First and second inversions are now both in. Looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Those are some sweet colors, love it! I also love the mist shot! Also looking forward to see the layout of the GCI, looks like it will follow the terrain pretty closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Wow, a wing coaster that dives straight into a Gatekeeper style "airtime" hill. I can't wait to hear all the b*tching about this one. Edited December 19, 2016 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 not been able to dig up much since the new year. But this pic from earlier this month shows the 2 inversions following the vertical loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
