I could've sworn I saw this exact same mantra posted at Holiday World last year. Although, I did see Pat Koch trying to swipe Skip's self-esteem when he wasn't looking...!

Those sings are really funny, take your private thing with you when leaving! 
Like I would leave it there! They really need a new translator for the park. The coasters are looking awsome, but I'm a bit dissapoined that there was no theming at all. I would love to ride halfpipe someday! Great TR

Today was kind of a "Credit Whore Day" that started out at a really nice park!
Our first stop was Mysterious Island in Zhuhai. A nice little park with two coasters, one of them being an Intamin launched that while small in size, really kicked A$$!
We then headed on to Pearl Land also in Zhuhai which was a nice park, nothing amazing, maybe slightly on the ghetto side, but overall a good place to pick up 4 random coaster credits.
And then we ended our night with a small park called Amazing World we tried to go to last night, but was closed due to rain. Since it was not very far out of the way back to our hotel we decided to hit it again and tonight we were in luck! It's a mostly indoor place with a few outdoor rides much like Toverland! There was a custom Vekoma Roller Skater here (again, just like Toverland) and to some there was even a total of four credits!
Now some pictures....

OMG Kidtums is just WAY too cute. She's MADE for the camera! You should put her in modeling for like...catalogs or something ya know! She's just so photogenic!
How old is that park with the Intamin Launch? It looks pretty sweet!

Great updates, awesome pictures and captions as always! Thanks for taking the time out to do these Robb, it is really appreciated. Especially for parks like these which I'm sure many of us have never seen/ heard of before.
Looks like you're having a great time so far and riding some great coasters. I think my favourite part about all of your far east TR's has to be the translations, they are almost 'Orgiastic'! Also, as others have said, Kidtums is so photogenic. The two pictures of her on the kiddie ride at Pearl Land are my favourite pictures of her yet, just love her expressions, sooo cute.
Hope the awesomeness continues for you all out there and I look forward to the future updates.

I wonder which is worse, a real Vekoma, or a Chinese knock-off?

Very nice! Those disko-like rides at the mall look like they would be some awesome backyard rides!

Pearl Land? Is that like, um, a pearl necklace?
That bag-o-cubed meat looks pretty darn tasty. I hope the rest of your trip continues to be an orgiastic affair!
