Arguably one of the most exciting projects in China at the moment Romon World is very similar in concept to the excellent Lotte World in South Korea. The parks not due to open for about another year but it looks excellent.

The park is already confirmed to be getting an Indoor Intamin coaster very similar to Kanonen at Liseberg, Although it will feature a lift hill instead of a launch. Correct me if I'm wrong but will this not be the first non-launched coaster to feature a top hat.

The second major coaster is situated outside and will be a Maurer Sohne Launched coaster very similar to Freischütz at Bayern Park in Germany. However the ride will not feature the first barrel roll seen on that ride.

Below is some concept art I've dug up so far which shows the location of both coasters

The Intamin can be seen here with some awesome interaction.

The Launched ride sits on the Island outside.

This doesn look like an amazing place, but it's being built in China, so I most likely will not look like that.

Anyone else also find it a bit weird that both of their magor coasters have top hat and a loop, very similer to one another. Oh well, nice project anyways.

I love the look of this!
It's going to have lot's of improvements from Kanonen, thanks to the bigger footprint available, and I cannot wait for the day I get to try this one.

I also like how they are saving supports, using the wall, for the lift hill.

RCDB has the opening date as 1. Oct, 2014 but hasn't updated the status yet. I did a search but couldn't find anything about it opening this week. Anyone know anything?

^RCDB is only as good as the people sending in the updates. They'll keep it labelled as "under construction" until somebody informs them otherwise.

It's pretty impressive.

I don't really like it, but it's impressive.

The laser bit is crazy in person, though if you're in the seated area you have to keep looking around to appreciate it.
I liked the end of the day show I saw there. One of the highlights of a park with very little substance.
