I still think the drop will be fantastic but the airtime won't be intense and will ride like a beemer.
 
In another quite a strange publicity stunt professional climber Zhang Xixin climbed the Intamin hyper coaster Havoc in Heaven Palace at Wanda City Nanchang.

Quite a view from up there.

It seems look much taller than it actually is. Or is that just me?

Judging by the curvature of the earth in that picture, I think it's just the camera lens.
I was referring to the other photos as well.

Even with the camera lens effect it looks taller than the drop tower in the photo at the top of this page as well as those apartment buildings.
 
At 240+ feet, it's certainly not small and I'm not complaining either. It just looks more like 260-270 feet tall to me.
 
It very much carries the appeal of other large Intamin hyper/gigas, especially MF and Intimidator: one massive first hill, followed by smaller turns and airtime hills. It really does make the first drop visually imposing when set aside such smaller elements. I imagine the first turn will have some great positive g's.
 
More from Wanda Nanchang.

It appears the park has been training it's new employees recently and with almost exactly a month to go until the park opens, pictures of the coasters are starting to appear.

Below are a selection of the ones so far. Focusing pretty heavily on Havoc in Heaven Palace the Intamin hyper. That drop looks astonishing.
