Photo TR: The Parks of Quanzhou (February 23, 2016)

February 23, 2016: Quanzhou, Fujian Province

Quanzhou Amusement Park: This is the biggest park in Quanzhou. The coasters here all have a very common design. The biggest one is a loop screw knockoff. There is a Troika knockoff here that I rode. It wasn't has intense as the ones by Huss, but maybe the Chinese version could have a faster speed than what they use at this park.

Jiangbin Sports Park: Jiangbin is Chinese for riverside. There are a few rides here. One is mouse coaster that is of the most common design here in China. It is old and rusty. Many of the rides here look like they are in poor shape. There used to be a powered coaster here, but it is gone now. The park seems to have good sports facilities.

Donghu Park. Donghu is Chinese for East Lake. This park is an old park, but there are some rides in the northeast corner of the park. There is a small mouse coaster that I got to ride.

In all, I have now visited 490 parks and I have ridden 995 different coasters. I have no special plans for #1000. It will happen when it happens, but I would like for it not to be a space car kiddie coaster or a spinning or jungle mouse coaster. Only five more to go until I reach the magic roller coaster.

My first park of the day is Quanzhou Amusement Park.

This big wheel greets you as you enter the park.

Roller Coaster is a loop screw knockoff.

I didn't go in the haunted house, but I took a photo of it.

These are very common in China.

These are very common and this one felt like it would stall half way through the course.

The Chinese have copied the Troika. This is not as good as the originals from Huss.

A short taxi ride took me to Jiangbin Sports Park.
