Happy Valley Chongqing - Wingcoaster POV

I need to bump this because that B&M Flyer Wingrider is gonna be awesome! More people should know!

[Paradox]

There is no flyer at this park only the wing coaster.

^ Oops I made one bad GP mistake!

Picture of the custom Golden Horse minetrain. Seems to use the company's new track style. So this begs the question, is this still a knockoff?

I call any bad Chinese coaster that is based on another design a knockoff, plus this track still looks similar to others, especially the Vekoma motorbike track style.

Does that make all vekoma's knockoffs? They completely ripped off arrow track and made their own versions. Honestly I would call golden horse a real company. Bad but real.

They had an agreement with Arrow that Arrow allowed and was okay with. Permissions were involved, and so was licensing. The Chinese just flat out steal poop.

Looks like the park's Vekoma family boomerang coaster has gone up as well. Seems to be one of the Ben 10 models. You can also see the wingcoaster's completed corkscrew in the background.

That Wingrider will race with a Family Boomerang, I guess, in the lift hill!

Does that corkscrew have like 9 supports coming out of the top lol.

[Paradox]

yeah

B&M's getting weird

Horseshoe overbank followed by first ever wingrider ampersand too much to ask for?
I doubt that's what the turnaround actually is, but I can dream.

[Paradox]

That's not an overbank, but a zero g roll with a weird exit. You can tell it inverts by the supports.

OOooooOOo, looks like a flying over the rainforest style turn around. Should be fun, but that support on the giant corkscrew is, ummm, interesting.

Yeah on second look you're right about the zero-g-roll. I was hoping for too much!

[Coasterkidmwm]

This ride looks fantastic. B&M's first ever half-zero g roll half-corkscrew!

[mkingy]

Oziris at Parc Asterix has a similar element but it's far less pronounced!

^ I can imagine what you're trying to say!

[Paradox]

Wing coaster is coming along nicely.

^ This actually makes me think of a Wing "Hydra" Rider!

[Paradox]

And the wingcoaster is now complete! It has five inversions and could possibly be the best wing B&M has ever made.

















Here you can see the rest of the park including the GCI being constructed:

I'm obsessed with the lead-in to that inline twist. I cannot wait to see how that rides. So quirky. How does the layout end after the inline? Are you counting the drop as one of the five inversions?

I'm very excited for a POV of the wing coaster! I bet the name will be a great one at first, and then be changed to a nondescript one immediately
Surprised that there hasn't been an animation of the GCI so far, they did that for Viper...

I can say like some funky-looking elements are from Hydra! And as one person above says, I can't wait for the "official" POV, either, because that'll show how the wide train rides out these twists!

I find this Wingrider to be epic!
