Photo TR: Xiuquan Park (May 25, 2012)

Today I found three more coasters to add to the database. I also learned of another coaster up in Shandong province, so I have discovered 99 coasters before they were found by RCDB or ACE. Today I visited Xiuquan Park in Guangzhou. This park is about a 20 minute walk from Guangzhou north railway station. The park is built around a man-made lake that features an island. Most of the rides are located on the island and include a mouse, pirate ship, carousel, kiddie coaster, flume, frisbee, top spin and many others. The mouse coaster here is like many others I have ridden in Asia, but the kiddie coaster appeared to have an original layout. I have ridden several of these kiddie coasters that have a worm themed train and all of them have a different layout. I wonder if these rides are custom designs or if the company offers several models. Xiuquan Park is very nice and walking among the rides reminded me a little bit of Kennywood. There are no ravines or terrain woodies here, but the park is traditional and has a lot of trees. Xiuquan had a wave shuttle coaster that was removed a while back. Thankfully there are other examples of this ride and I have experienced them at other parks. The park also had disko coaster, but this has also been removed. I had a great time at the park and recommend it to anyone who is visiting China. I would recommend most parks here to visitors, despite the fact that many of them have basic coasters. The parks themselves are excellent. I have now found 99 coasters before RCDB or ACE could find them.

I have arrived at Xiuquan Park

This kiddie ride is a new ride here.

A carousel is here.

These rides thrill visitors to Xiuquan Park.

These rides were built over the water.

A pagoda is on the man-made lake at Xiuquan Park.

This flume ride was a little rundown, but it was open today.

This kiddie coaster awaits visitors to Xiuquan Park.

The train on the kiddie coaster looks like a big worm.

Here is the lift for the kiddie coaster.

Kiddie coaster porn for you.

This is Xiuquan's mouse coaster. It is like others I have ridden.

Here is the lift of the mouse coaster.

The park had a third coaster-a wave shuttle, but it has since been removed.

It seems pretty common for cities in China to have a central park with an amusement area. Nice to see that they don't just have kiddie coasters too. Keep searching!

I will keep searching. Seeing how I have now found 99 coasters, it would be a shame to stop now. I have to stick around for at least one more.

Another cool find, and congratulations on 99 undocumented coasters! That is quite impressive!
