Intamin Blitz RMC I-Box Intamin Megas Honourable mentions: Intamin Prefabs B&M Inverts

Gotta love those regular updates from the park. The angle of the photo is sweet too!

Congratulations! Gotta admit your Trip Reports are always a breath of fresh air :) Phaeton seems overlooked. A generic yet solid Invert I suppose!

Gotta admit the scenery from some of the Chinese park is impressive. Not the cheap cardboard stuff you could expect. I have somewhat higher expectations for the Hyper Space Warp - being a New Vekoma fanboy and such. Still looks like a very fun ride based on your commentary, but it sounds like...

La Mer de Sable announced on social media they are building a Mine Train - presumably - for this year. Although no year is mentioned in this post, the French park made an allusion to the ride in its New Year wishes post. That January 2nd post claimed guests will "roll over gold" ("rouler sur...

Much agree actually. I went to Happy Valley Shanghai on a public holiday last June, and I managed the apparently rare feat of grabbing all the creds on my first visit. I even saw Fireball running two trains! A bit disappointed to hear about Duelling Dragons (Inverted). As this is the re-birth...

Yes I was told by RCD China that Sunac has introduced pay-per-ride system lately. Devastated about the non-alternating dueling. I'm planning to get there this June but at least I know I can further lower my expectations.

Amazing reports. The photos are top notch and it's always a pleasure to read your thoughts (and hints of sarcasm) on Chinese/exotic stuff. Also: Gotta be very useful for my next Chinese trip. Once the scary virus crisis ends..

Second train incoming this season. Delivery expected on April 4th

China has 3 of the 5 Megalites. Together with Kawasemi, that's 4/5 Megalites for Asia. Both B&M Family Inverts are located in Chinese Happy Valley parks (Shanghai & Beijing). 5/7 Intamin "traditional" (non-prefab) wooden coasters are in Japan. All were built between 1992 and 2001. These are...

More pictures of the Firestorm courtesy of Roller Coaster Dream China: EDIT: I copied and pasted the link from FB but it doesn't embed. Anyone can help with the issue?

More testing footage:

I didn't add the Raptor model since it was already built in 2018 and I wanted to focus on models that have been announced but not built yet. (In fairness, Intamin has already implemented the Swing Launch on Soaring with Dragon, but I'm rather referring on their fast-switch element combined with...

I hope that if a British park gets an RMC, not too many entitled fansboys complain because it's not as good as Steel Vengeance (looking at some toxic KI fans here)

OzIris on a good day achieves well the sensation of graceful flight. (On a worse day, it just comes off as forceless and bland though)

Well I was slightly disappointed by Mega-Lite at Happy Valley Shanghai. Fantastic agressive airtime, but Lech and smaller RMC offer more fulfilling experiences overall imo. Batman the Ride Inverts aren't my favourites. I haven't got a really good ride on these for a VERY long time. I...

Into the new decade a lot of new concepts are being introduced/announced or waiting for a buyer. Which one do you think will pop up the most at parks?
