HotGo Park - Fushun China 2018

Wow that's a pretty so a neat layout!

- Had to edit my post as I found this park to be awesome with exciting coasters! -

I like the look of the wing layout. That looping after the first drop is really nice!

We have mega coaster construction. Hopefully the ride isn't forceless! Judging by the supports we might be seeing an ampersand turnaround like Shambhala.

I wish China would abandon coal (they're doing it valiantly at a commendable pace) so we could actually see something.

So far it looks identical to Shambhala

A Shambala clone isn't a bad hypothesis.

^ Yeah, because of an "Ampersand" element which is creative!

It's not a Shambhala clone. This coaster is at least 50 feet shorter and there is no curve between the drop and first camelback like on Shambhala. It's pretty close to Shambhala's layout so far though.

Looks more like SFOG's Goliath if you ask me.

I could just have a bad perspective on this, but it looks like it could be turning. Also, it looks like it could be the same height. Either way, we'll see.

It is a mega coaster, not a hyper like Shambhala and that's true because of the label on the track when it was at the manufacturing plant. If you compare it to Shambhala there are also slight support differences.

Also I forgot to post these already but this will be Phase 2 of the park. Phase 1 opened in 2014 with a Gravity Group wooden, a knockoff SLC, knockoff minetrain/kiddie coaster, and two alpine coasters by Wiegand (one suspended).

Time Travel is absolutely furious on that track! If a park like this can make a major investment in a ride like that with a whole lot of crappy cheaper models, why can't we get that in America or Europe, huh?!

Mega is just a blanket term and has nothing to do with height. It is clearly over 200 ft. How much over is another question.

Yes and this doesn't have a B&M sit down underneath it. The supports depend on what is going on underneath it and my guess is that this park wants paths going underneath the coaster.

You're probably right that it's not a clone, but so far it's looks really similar
Just check out this picture: https://rcdb.com/10239.htm#p=38610 Shaping looks a bit different but that could be perspective

Lol that SLC look so bad

I guess that Wie-Hex is pretty neat, too! And so is that choo-choo train coaster! My preference lol!

Definitely not a clone. For one, the turnaround is going to opposite direction. And it's definitely shorter than Shambhala.

I hope that it will get more intense because a lot of short layouts tend to pack a punch!

Sorry for the trash quality photo but more supports are up which confirms that it's not a Shambhala clone lol

^ NOT a trash at all! A smog effect is guilty! Anyway thanks for the image!

Clearer pictures showing more of the layout going up!

Awesome, that B&M mega has a full fledged sine hill. Looks great.

Supports on the right look like one of those rising helix Diamondback turnarounds they like.

Time to guess when its on-ride video will be launched!

It goes under a bridge? Loving the layout the more I see of it.
