Gutterflower Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The ridiculous looking "Global 100 Theme Park" on the Chinese island of Hainan has been slipping under the radar of late but the most recent construction pictures show a massive park already well under construction. The ride line up here has been kept mostly under wraps but what Is thought to be the worlds tallest indoor freefall ride has already been installed. Roller Coasters aren't on site yet but judging by these pictures it won't be too long. Early Concept Art This will be the dutch themed area. I can only assume those structures up the front will be windmills I believe these will hold the worlds largest indoor freefall towers. They will also feature a significant multimedia section whatever that means. Possible coaster footers on the right here. Looks to me like your standard Vekoma/Golden Horse mine train setup. Surprise Surprise These next pics are slightly more recent but smaller The tower ride itself The dutch area is getting brighter. Very little has come out about this park as I said but its gone big in a big way. Will be interesting to see how the ride lineup looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looks interesting. Has there been any announcement about opening dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Looks interesting. Has there been any announcement about opening dates? Some time in 2018 is all I've seen. I usually take any Chinese opening date with a pinch of salt but they've left it fairly open Shenzhen Ren Yi Installation one of the firms working on construction have this image for a 50m Moser tower ride they are installing at the park. It's just a little different and lord knows how the loading will work. http://www.szryinc.com/index.php?ac=article&at=read&did=102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Love the idea of a triple-decker drop tower and I'm surprised it hasn't been done before - 96 people per cycle is very impressive. I guess there will be a retractable sliding floor for loading like there was on London's Trocadero Intamin freefall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exedeusex Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm intrigued by those indoor drop towers. Theming looks great, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Whoa that's a really cool idea for a drop tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 There just better be roofs above the seats cause no-one wants the gravel and dirt to fall on their hair from the person above them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went and had a look around there in like 2012 and it was such a mess. We went through the place to go to the cinema in it I believe. The whole thing has gone now, who knows whats replacing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 So, it's a Moser that, judging by the photo on the right, aspires to be an Intamin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
