Whoever shot those videos did a brilliant job. Those rides look neat.

Oof the structure on that turn before the drop is huge!

Do M&V and TGG still design together? It seems like M&V is the name on these bigger china rides and TGG is the name on the small rides they've been building in the US. I never quite understood the relationship.

My understanding was that M&V are the contractor (ie. do the actual construction side of things) for all these rides, whereas Gravity Group are the designer. Sometimes it's good to have a continent specific contractor who has a good relationship with goverment / other important bodies and understanding of culture to ensure that things don't get held up. I think it's telling that the vast majority of M&V builds are in China whereas Gravitykraft are USA/EU.
