Oriental Neverland Phase 2: BSA Racing Coaster

So who wants know about the next crazy insane project to come out of China? Well it's at a park called Oriental Neverland in Shaoxing.

For a bit of backstory, this park originally opened in 2016 as an indoor park. It had 1 coaster which was a Mack Spinning coaster called Dragon Express:





But this year, the park is expanding into an outdoor park:





The park will have 2 coaster, but this time, they will be Chinese built. The first is knock-off Skyloop, which has already been installed:





The other one however is very intriguing. It is a racing coaster from Beijing Shibaolai Amusement Equipment (BSA for short). Here are a couple of images of it starting to go up:









The actual model is called Dueling Dragons and it's basically and combination of sit-down coaster and a inverted coaster. Here's some promotional artwork for it:





...and according to reports, another one of these will also be installed at a park called Fuhua Amusement Park in Weifang, although it is yet to go up.

All i will say is that it's going to be interesting to see how this one develops.

oh hey, a 2nd chinese coaster which races with both inverted and sit-down trains. Sounds fun!

So Oriental Neverland's BSA Racing Coaster, now called Twin Dragons, is progressing well:

Uhm. That spinning coaster that ended up being like 1/2 underground looks very sweet.

Agreed!

Also, this is not the only one that is currently being built. Another one is currently being built at a park called Fuhua Amusement Park:





This is part of a refit of the park which is also receiving two others roller coasters. A BSA Skyloop and...

...a BSA built Zamperla Volare knock-off....

...I'll let you decide what you want to make of that.
