Sick layout! A really fun looking mix of funky inversions, airtime hills and twisty stuff. Banana Roll on a Spinning Coaster is quite daring - it could turn out quite hilarious!

This may very well become obsolete with the advent of F.L.Y., Abyssus, and all the amazing models opening in Asia. I'll certainly recomment there then!
A third of Tonnerre de Zeus was already renovated for this year.
I'm expecting a GhostRider-style of rehab rather than a full RMC treatment. As Astérix awaits a big Intamin multi-launch, I don't see an I-Box coming to the park before 2025 at the VERY least. But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong :p
I found Falcon a bit underwhelming. Sure it looks flashy and has a couple of fun/intense moments, but it's let down by surprising rattle at points and disappointing airtime. Fēnix is more enjoyable imo..
So happy to finally see a Next Gen SLC (aka STC) project going ahead. Inverts are a rare breed nowadays - Chinese SLCs aside - and I'm curious to see how different will the layout be compared to the generic B&M formula.
The little airtime hops look snappy! The overall layout has a very exciting blend of inversions and airtime too. Vast improvement over the days of Spaghetti Bowls
From my experience visiting EL 4 times, I found the operations to be very decent. Though on my last visit ride ops tended to staple you, especially on Hyperion.
I'm not very worried about the lines. Especially off-season where everything was walk-on at times.
Glad you enjoyed Kraken. Good fit for the park which now has a solid B&M combo. I'm a bit worried about the wait times, but maybe your day was unusually busy? @Yunho Kim
Great reports. Love to hear a different (and well argumented) opinion on Untamed. It was understandably hyped as the first RMC I-Box on the Old Continent. But RMC raised the standard so much nowadays there could well be much better coasters yet ahead. (Goliath </3)

Saw the warning, clicked anyway. I do not regret at all, some really fab pictures!
As a grow older, I enjoy more a mixture of creds + sightseeing. Feels like a more complete experience.
Congrats to you and Mrs. Howie on making it official :D
Forgot to post the end of this trip. I'm safely home and well btw! ^^

I was for a treat courtesy of Roller Coaster Dream China. Our group was invited to ride Falcon before it's official opening! So early, the road leading to the park wasn't even paved when we visited x)...
Too bad B&M isn't even attending IAAPA Europe - and hasn't done so for the past few years ?♂️
I will be attending the show for the third consecutive year :)
Some planning I drafted so far:

Energylandia feels like a real-life Planet Coaster file played by a once newbie, now educated teenage goon with cheat codes ON.
And I'm loving every bit of it! <3 Please keep doing this Energylandia!
Soaring with Dragon (ridden June 16th)
Thrilling ride, particularly in its first half! The second half is a bit underwhelming and loses quite of the initial exciting momentum. Nonetheless it is one of the favourite coasters I’ve ridden in China so far :D
Highlight of the ride: the...
I'm not the go to authority on the matter, but I DID see Happy Valley Shanghai running two trains on Fireball. It was during a public holiday, and despite that the line was still 1h 30 long. Just saying...
