Progress on Wuxi's wing

[Coasterkidmwm]

Hmm am I nuts or is the second roll ending like 70ft in the air?

[Paradox]

That's actually a twisted air hill

God that is massive! Really intrigued to see what the layout ends up being.

The wing coaster is confirmed to be 60 meters or 197 feet. This means that it is the tallest wing coaster in the world and also has the tallest inversion in the world.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Is that building supposed to be a dinosaur?

[Paradox]

Probably a Chinese dragon

I have to be positive, thanks. I'm trying to get over the computer loss. Let me say "Oh sickty (sixty) meters tall? Massive!" here.

Amazing, that wing coaster is going to be incredible.

It's ready to be the world's second best Wingrider! Thanks B&M!

Seems like Wanda is building another indoor park in Qingdao this time with a Golden Horse family invert with a barrel roll.



Here's a video of it testing on Weibo.

what the hell

[Dirk_Ermen]

Actually, that roll looks quite fun.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Is it actually a family invert or are they just using different stolen trains lol

[Paradox]

I think Golden Horse classifies it as a family invert but who knows what they're doing anymore

[Paradox]

Remember this weird ride for Wanda Guangzhou?



Well it seems that Intamin will be the manufacturer after all as track pieces for it have shown up. Weirdly enough it seems to use one track style for the combined sections and switch to another later.

Yes! So glad for this. It's interesting how the tracks are different sizes, maybe the track style switch is for cost? I don't think it's a concern, ride looks amazing so far.

The blue/green side on the sketch seems rather drawn out for an invert. Could it be a flyer with that big dive loop a fly to lie? That would be awesome, but I doubt it... we will see...

[Coasterkidmwm]

So is the green probably the invert?

I think so. If you look at the renders, the invert appears to be 4 across and the sit down 2 across with a longer train. That would explain different track dimensions and would also allow for more play in the timing of the dueling aspects.

Damn, really interested to see what a modern Intamin invert will look like. Hopefully it's amazing!

Also, just thinking aloud here, but what if they made a two-sided non-inverting loop? That would be SICK! (And this is probably unlikely, but imagine if the two trains come from opposite sides so that they fly past each other at the top.... Holy...)

Honestly all of their inverts except Volcano look kinda meh so yeah it should be interesting to see what they do. The one in Finland looks pretty unique, but the one in Spain is just odd.

Intamin needs to work on their US relations again so our parks start buying again. Some of the things they've done recently look great. Judging from the render it looks like its a triple launch?

New plans of the Wanda Wuxi park show the wingcoaster and Mack Blue Fire clone but not the Wicked Twister clone. The top is the old plans and the bottom is the new plans.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Newer design has a ton less water than the original.
