Photo TR: Changsha Oriental Heritage & Other Parks (7/14/19)


Recommended Posts

July 14th & 15th 2019 (Changsha, Hunan, China):

 

I would visit three parks over the past couple of days and ride my 1200th coaster in the process.

 

Yutan Park-This park is located about a 15 minute bus ride away from the newest Fantawild Park. I stopped in for a bit, rode the coaster and left. This is a common city park with a small area of rides. The jungle mouse here became my 1200th coaster to ride and Yutan Park became park #609 for me to visit.

 

Oriental Heritage (Changsha)-This is Fantawild's newest park and it just opened a little over a week ago. It is park #610 for me to visit and my 10th Fantawild park. There are three coasters here. Big Top is a Vekoma family suspended coaster. It is the third model of this type that I have ridden. It is a lot of fun. Visitors to Dollywood this year can experience one of these.

Puppy Coaster is a wacky worm knockoff and it became coaster #1202 for me to ride.

 

The real star here is Celestial Gauntlet. This is the first Vekoma Energy Storm coaster and is Vekoma's best work to date. It is like a mega lite with inversions. It is glass smooth and a lot of fun. It became my 1203rd coaster.

 

One downside to this park is the slow ride ops in light of the almost $50 USD entrance fee. I do not mind the admission prices going up, but they need to start implementing customer service. Celestial Gauntlet was running only one train and can only carry 16 passengers. I waited about 45 minutes for it. With a train leaving the station every 7-8 minutes, only 8 trains will be dispatched an hour. This is not good for when these types of places get busy.

 

Hunan Martyr's Park-I visited this park in 2010 and I went there again a couple of days ago. It was raining, but I discovered that a new mite mouse coaster had been built. I went back this morning to ride it. It became coaster #1204 for me to ride and coaster #498 for me to discover before ACE or RCDB.

I am on my way to the new Oriental Heritage, but first, I will stop in at Yutan Park.

They have a big Ferris Wheel here.

I see these often.

This one became my 1200th coaster.

After a 15 minute bus ride, I arrived at this place.

The park is less than a week and a half old.

There is some circus theming here.

The Big Top is from Vekoma and is the third coaster of its type that I have ridden.

This is the first drop on the Big Top.

Here is another look at the Big Top before I move on.

The rapids ride is nicely themed.

Puppy Coaster is a wacky worm.

There were no rough spots at all on this.
