Yea the fact that it's not actually a Vekoma worries me. Knock off companies can barely handle break run mechanisms, I don't trust them with tilt mechanisms.

Here's another picture of the Zamperla motocoaster at the Xishuangbanna park. It's a clone of Pony Express except with a large helix at the end. Ignore the obvious photoshopping lol.

I'm really curious to see the POVs of the Intamins, especially the orange one.

They're avoiding the track below, they still attached to the "correct" side!

New pictures of the Intamin at the Nanchang park. Looks like they also got an Intamin drop tower as well.

Looks like a gyro drop from the geometry of the building around it.

I still can't help myself thinking that Intamin is bizarre as hell. Especially the bifurcating support configurations.

Looks like Wanda is expanding to Europe, more specifically Paris.

Every time I see the orange and green Intamin I become retarded. I really wanna see a pov of that one. The drop is so good.

Well hzgarfield did make this NL2 recreation of the ride (with a working cable lift!) and there's also this video of the train going down the drop!
