gisco Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 China is exploding with new coasters lately. Hopefully they will have enough people visiting the parks to stay open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Not sure how I missed this, but that's a pretty sexy looking design!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 China has been a jackpot for these guys! And I agree, that layout looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm not sure how accurate a representation of a layout that is, the lift looks way steeper than the first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Oh, I'm sure it's just "concept" art, but the park looks nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Woah. Yea Im not even going to assume it looks anything like that art. Even if you reversed the hill to the direction it looks like it should go the next area looks wrong too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Theres some new concept art around. Looks like a lot of this park will be undercover. (well more than usual). In this art the Woodies lift hill is indeed the other way round And it's recently been announced the ride will also get an S&S El Loco with a 120degree drop.

Gutterflower Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Vertical Construction is properly under way. Unfortunately no sign of a better layout drawing yet. But it does look pretty sweet. Source: http://vhcoasters.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fire Guy Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 YES! YES! YES YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! OHHHH PLEASE MORE!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! *pant, pant, pant, pant* This thing looks sooooo sexy! The Gravity Group appears to have outdone themselves again, and woodie constructionography is niiiice... I'll have to take hundreds of cold showers looking at constructionography for this, Outlaw Run, Au13/Gold Striker, and White Lightning, all of which are just GORGEOUS...

Moose Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Gravity group is making a full sized coaster with wooden supports? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texcoaster Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Gravity group is making a full sized coaster with wooden supports? Interesting. Boardwalk Bullet is taller and longer than the Coney Cyclone. That's not a full-sized coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Also Dauling Dragons and Fireball are both over 105' tall and they aren't "full sized". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Plenty more construction going on here. Anyone know who the builder of that orange mine train type coaster is?

australianalex Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow, looks awesome! As for the whole wooden support thing, it seems that all of their coasters built with Martin & Vleminkx use wooden supports rather than the steel ones used on Voyage, Hades and Ravine Flyer.

_koppen Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Anyone know who the builder of that orange mine train type coaster is? Looks lie something the Chinese has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 RCDB has 3 coasters listed for this park. The woodie, an El Loco and a duelling coaster. Is it possible the mine-train type ride is a duelling coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The ride has a name now. "Fjord Dragon" which has a nice ring to it. Hope you like Double Downs.... that looks insane. Source: http://www.vhcoasters.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Holy ejector airtime batman. That puts the double downs on Grand National and Jack Rabbit to shame. Hell, it puts every double down to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 "Fjord Dragon" is a better name than "Fjord Fairlane." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
