Oh come on both of you.... Shush now....
@CrashCoaster Yes you are right Chinese manafacturers do rip off western manafacturers sometimes, including here. That much is clear but it has been getting better. Especially BSAE and GH have been expanding into custom designs and track designs of their own.
But at the same time the Chinese knock off thing is a bit lazy these days. Especially when you look at western manafacturers. Intamin have tried to "knock off" the Mack Power Splash, The S&S Gale Force, The RMC Raptor and the S&S Freespin in just the last few years. OK they've not sold any of them but thats market forces not lack of trying.
Lets not even mention the Italian designers and their Zyclon style clones or the flat ride companies like Mondial and Huss who have such similar ride line ups.
The main thing that GH and BSAE have the advantage in that they have a local market who either don't know about the western versions or they do and cant afford them. Is the GH Dive Machine at Great Xingdong any worse than Air vs Stealth (CGA) or the Intamin Power Splash vs Macks?
And
@Ben you know i love you man but no need to be quite so confrontational
CC's comments may be lazy but they arent entirely inaccurate. This ride is very much a Chinese Knock Off of a western built ride. However his mistake is thinking (or at least implying) this is a Chinese only issue.
