Gutterflower Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Sorry for the double post but these were too good not to post. Here's another view of the Wuhu coaster seen above. That Inversion is stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ^Looks great! I like how they kept that "traditional" woody look even in the inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 The 4th (and as far as i know final) Gravity Group/M&V wooden coaster for China in 2015 has started to rise.  The Other rides in Jinan, Wuhu and Zhuzhou are all up and should start testing soon but the Zhengzhou park isn’t due to open until the end of the year so has started later.  New satellite images reveal a compact layout that is really well crammed on to the parks central island. Most importantly the ride isn’t a clone of any of the other three. There’s no ground based photos yet and it seems the Chinese are incredibly secretive when it comes to new rides so there may not be any for a while.  I’ve also included an overview of the new park (The 2nd Fantawild in Zhengzhou) which shows at least one new water ride and a series of indoor dark rides and cinemas. There’s no obvious second coaster yet but I wouldn’t rule it out.   Source  If you want a good comparison between this one and the Jinan ride you can see just how different they are from this image.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Been a while but here's an update on the Wuhu Fantawild Cultural Heritage Park park. I just came across a TON of pictures which can be found here but I have attached the best below. Â The Jinan Cultural Park was supposed to open yesterday. Expect a POV of the O&B looping woodie MVR built there in the next few days. The entrance to the park. The park is themed more to traditional Chinese myths and Culture than the usual recycle western themes seen at previous Fantawild parks. There will be the usual selection of dark rides and cinemas than Fantawild is famous for. The central tower is the main landmark and can be found at the Jinan park too. The woodie in the distance. The indoor mine train can be found in a volcano. More of the pretty decent themeing going in. Wooden coaster time. Another new ride from Martin & Vleminckx and The Gravity Group. This ride packs more of a twister layout than it's out and back sister ride in Jinan. It's one of 3 inverting woodies heading to China this year. I've ridden 3 of the MVR woodies in China so far and they are all excellent. Turn out of the station. view across the park. More of the station. The ride is likely to be called Jungle Trail Blazer (The Chinese name is Jungle Dragon) Looking from the station down the lift hill. Air gates are in. Check out the inversion over the first drop. The turn around at the far end. View from the park boundary (The car park may be going here if the maps are right) Final look at the woodie. Oddly theres no shot of the boomerang in this update. But it is there I promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Just heard that the woodie didn't pass the safety test so it won't open with the park. One day admission will be ¥200 (around $32) for the grand opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Does the boomerang use the new Vekoma trains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Does the boomerang use the new Vekoma trains? I believe it does yes.  The Jinan park is open. And although the woodie seems to have failed its Chinese safety test here's some awesome onride pictures from a Chinese user on Weibo Looks like its full of airtime too. That inversion is just a bonus          Weibo via VHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thats just an Airtime machine by the look of it. Especially that outwards run. Â Just got to figure out how to shoehorn JInan into my next China trip now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Oh. My. Gaga. That looks amazing. The inversion is perfectly placed. . . And did I see a double up... and a double down??? Ugh. What I would give to get to ride this coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 No sooner is one wooden coaster open but another is complete. Â Fantawild in Zhengzhou is opening a second gate (A year after i visited grrrrr) and it has a cracking looking new wooden coaster too. Again a completely custom design that this time features no inversions but a proper classic looking layout. Â As an extra surprise theres also a real or knock off Suspended Family Coaster (453m) from Vekoma or Golden Horse (no idea which but it's probably GH to be honest) Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutterflower Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Here's a first look at that new woodie in Zhengzhou seen in the satellite image above. I reckon MVR have got a winner on their hands here. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markysharky17 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wow, That's the first time that I have seen a reverse high 5 on a coaster. Looks pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Maybe that element should be called a "Back-to-Back". Â Just a suggestion. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
