Photo TR: Huyan Park in Yongzhou, Hunan, China (November 4, 2017)

 

I am in Hunan province this weekend and decided to visit a park in Yongzhou. I went to Huyan Park. This park is not on RCDB yet, but it soon will be. The park is all rides and not much of anything else. They have a large Ferris wheel and a powered coaster on a hill overlooking the rest of the park. Putting the wheel in this location makes it look taller than it really is. A mite mouse coaster is here. These are not as common as the jungle mice and spinning coasters. I like to find these.

 

Huyan Park has been around for a while and some rides are showing their age, but it is a fun place and the people in Yongzhou are friendly. The rides here are dirt cheap at 10 RMB per ride (the wheel is 20 RMB). In all, it is not a tourist park nor is Yongzhou a tourist city, but the Huyan Park is fine for local families. One minor complaint is that there is supposed to be a bus 182 in this city, but I have not seen it despite going to bus stops where it is supposed to stop. Maybe they need to update some info.

 

As of today, I have visited 560 parks, ridden 1104 different coasters and found 395 coasters before ACE or RCDB have found them.

I just found this place a few days ago when I was researching the city of Yongzhou.

This little display is just inside the park.

A powered dragon is here.

They are everywhere in China.

I have been on so many of them.

The haunted house is walk through attraction.

I always have to include the carousel.

There is a nice little train here.

A mite mouse coaster is here. I love these. I do not get to encounter them as often as spinning mouse and jungle mouse coasters.

They are fun coasters.

I like the design of the cars on this ride.

Here is a photo as I was headed up the lift. This will finish the TR.

That mouse there looks like a ripoff of the old Herschell mad house layouts.

Yes. The mite mouse coasters follow a similar footprint. They are a bit smoother though.
