Great pictures, the arrow looked more painful than some of the others, especially the sidewinder...

Probably busier in the summer, so they have two separate cable systems with two lines running... there and back.

That'sa heck of a lot of cable "balls" too - a few of the pix make them almost look like they're part of a (dare I mention it) Christmas card!

Taiko OMG

Nice re-tour-n to Hong Kong, guys. Vids were still fun, too.

Taiko Happy

When Robb went over the summer they did have both sides running. It was quite impressive!

It seems like all the signs and whatnot are also posted in English, so is it necessary to know ANYTHING in the Chinese language when going to China?

^ Mainland China, YES! Hong Kong...not so much. Remember that Hong Kong was a British owned country until about 10 or so years ago, so there is still a LOT of English there.

You even see stuff like "Mind The Gap!"

On the Wild West coaster, that structure the helix went around, do you know if that was supposed to be completed (i.e. Dragon Mountain) or is it supposed to be that way.

Either way, it looks like an awesome, and unique, ride.

^ I *think* it was never completed like Dragon Mountain. So who knows...maybe in 20 years they will finally finish it! Taiko Really Happy Red
