_koppen Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have read that this YOLO-style coaster is actually made by Intamin and not Premier. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have read that this YOLO-style coaster is actually made by Intamin and not Premier. Can anyone confirm this? Indeed I can. Although i swear the ride was originally announced as a Premier. At some point in the last couple of years it's changed to Intamin Here's the image from the construction site. In other news heres some Wanda Engineers inspecting some of the supports for the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That flyer looks like a fun little ride! Nice original layout that doesn't look boring (Superman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlerams Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Since nobody else has brought this up (i think), if found this bit of info on Wanda's website Visitors to Wuxi Theme Park will be able to experience the world’s fastest rollercoaster, which hits speeds of over 200 km/h. theres also this image for the park ^ looks like a wingrider ?

Gutterflower Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Wuxi is a bit of a weird one. It's not due to open until 2017 so less is known about it that Nanchang and Hefei which already have rides going up and open September next year. Wanda originally said that it would have the worlds fastest but all that seems to have been removed from the latest concept art. Currently what I'm expecting is a B&M wing rider, Mack Blue Fire clone and an Intamin impulse here's the early concept art And now the more recent stuff Wing coaster Blue Fire Impulse Of course it is only concept art so hedge your bets now.

Gutterflower Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Some new images of the plans for Wanda City in Hefei. (Click the links for bigger images) The Intamin launched semi-shuttle coaster. Shows off the rear spike and first giant loop well as well as the layout. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/t31.0-8/12010743_1476748402630553_2362523325103389789_o.jpg Park plans showing off the Layouts for both the Intamin and the duel tilt coasters. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/12010531_1476748392630554_1523406635075553405_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sorry, I do not understand those plans at all. Which ride is the tilt coaster? What Intamin is going there? The shuttle thing looks really good. Is the thing after the loop an immelman or just a non-inverting turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 The semi-shuttle coaster is an Intamin not a Premier as first thought. looks like it has a non inverting loop like the Ferrari World coaster. The turnaround also appears to be non inverting like you said. Although its tough to tell. Its the thick lined coaster on the right side of the larger plans The duel tilt coasters are at the top of the plans. The thin lines make it fairly tough to follow an exact layout but it appears to be something along the lines of Drop, Loop Helix, corkscrew, helix for each one. Dueling on the drops and through the corkscrews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Looks really nice. Given that they're already building a non inverted loop at Ferrari World I'd like to see this one being a "normal" one but I can't complain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Everything's been annoyingly quiet with respect to the new Wanda City in Nanchang. But stumbled upon this picture today which shows off the new Intamin hyper coaster and the custom SLC nicely. That Intamin looks like it could have some pretty hefty airtime. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/t31.0-8/12080216_1476906535948073_4416479748696298559_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I still can't get over the fact that a park like this went with a Chinese SLC... At least it's custom and correct me if I'm wrong. The first ever non B&M coaster to feature interlocking corkscrews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The first and only non-B&M invert, yup. Otherwise, Hurakan at Belantis has a pair of interlocking corkscrews as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I still can't get over the fact that a park like this went with a Chinese SLC... At least it's custom and correct me if I'm wrong. The first ever non B&M coaster to feature interlocking corkscrews? Given Shibaolai's first SLC had a six feet difference between track pieces during installation, this is not exactly a good thing.
