Gutterflower Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Last year it was believed that Intamin had sold 2 rockets to asia. Zaturn Popped up last week in japan and it turns out the other one is heading to China at what is believed to be a new park. http://rcdb.com/pd1398.htm The same park is getting an S&S screaming squirell too This goes with the announcement earlier of the Vekoma Motorbike At Chime Long Night Zoo. http://rcdb.com/pd1376.htm the already confirmed Vekoma SLC, Mine Train and the B&M Flier at Happy Capital http://rcdb.com/pd1161.htm as well as this months opening of a Monte Makaya, Avalancha cloned Intamin octo looper at habour land http://rcdb.com/pd1389.htm A couple of pics of that park here http://www.helloningbo.com/Module/HomePage/Info/Life%20in%20ningbo/200512/27/2005-12-27-Opening_of_Harborland.html The chinese scene has taken off recently might be worth taking a trip back out there one of these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Also, according to Amusement Business a new Intamin inverted coaster opened at a new theme park called "Phoenix Mountain's Happy Park". Among the rides is an inverted coaster by Switzerland-based Intamin http://www.amusementbusiness.com/amusementbusiness/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001806256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Actually i believe this to be the same as the habourland coaster. Phoenix Mountain is an area of the habourland complex. The photo above clearly shows the octolooper. i assume the artical is refering to this coaster. Although interestingly the Habourland offical site shows a picture of a Vekoma SLC but with the same colours as the Looper. odd.... Edit: beat me to it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Wow, not only are they getting some new coasters, but they're not just run of the mill clones. Looks like a TPR trip is in order to China, I think 2012 is clear for that so far. I sure hope they have McDonald's there, because I'm allergic to cat.

ncf Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Here's some Vekoma track on Happy Valley's site http://www.happyvalley.com.cn/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'm not sure exactly where all these parks are, but before you go flying off to China, remember that the country is about the same size as the continental-48 of the US. It MAY be difficult to get from park to park. This is one I'd be real careful researching! I sure wouldn't want to get in trouble or lost in communist China!

ncf Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I found something about a Chinese flyer! http://bj.happyvalley.com.cn/park/equip/atlantis/sjsy.asp Translation from www.worldlingo.com: The crystal god wing is Asia's only 11 flights types roller coaster, at the same time it also is the present China invests a biggest amusement equipment. At present the world only has five, 2,003, 2,004 two years hold European and the American track amusement project champion continuously. We sit the crystal god wing, experiences the bird same soaring the feeling. Unique revolves the chair along with it, our body revolves to under, the surface dynasty earth, suspends POSE which treats flies, embarks immediately! Climbs along with the god wing, the field of vision also gradually widens. The crystal holy city underneath us, as if the tentacle may and. But we do not have put out a hand with enough time, god wing howls, leads us to dive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Indeed the B&M will be themed to atlantis and according to the artwork will be very well themed. The ride is supposed to be simular to S:UF at the SF parks. The vekoma track you mention above is representative of Shenlin and the mine train found at Happy Valley. (the far right logo of the four) Shenlin is a a clone of the one going to happy capital (or kingdom depending where you read (Far left logo)) and also a clone of Kumali going up at Flamingoland UK. I agree with rollermonkey about china. while i was there i only visited 2 smaller parks but the place is incredibly large (especially for someone from the UK ). although thankfully the best parks are situated around the main cities and overnight trains are not too hard to come by. but its something you should research thourally before embarking on a trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think that translation just might be the funniest thing I've ever seen on these boards! I'm interested to know the layout of the new rocket coaster, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 We actually almost went to that China park with the Screamin Squirrel and Intamin Rocket on our Asia trip but about 2 weeks before we were there they annouced that the opening was going to be delayed until Jan 1st so we missed it. Oh well, China is definitely in our near future plans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Beijing used to have the world's largest McDonald's in the world. I have video of it somewhere. But they ended up tearing it down (building abother smaller one down the street) to make some sort of department store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
