Re: Hair Raiser: New B&M Floorless - Ocean Park, Hong Kong
The only thing I'd say about that is the area where this is, you can't see unless you're there. Like, the only view it's ruining is the one from the park, a few apartment blocks and the shipping containers that go by.
And when you consider that the other side of the mountain has one of the most dense, and the most vertical, urban area in the World, I don't see how one coaster is THAT big a scar.
Although, any reason to say this looks crap, I'm on board with.

Ben has explained it perfectly. Hong Kong has vast areas of national parks set aside for natural beauty already. The location of this coaster can't really be seen from anywhere outside of the park, unless you're on a boat, so it's not spoiling anything. Compare that to the sprawling mass of the nearby city...
I think it looks quite nice and vibrant at the moment. My only concern is that it could easily be left to fade and look tacky if not given the proper TLC. Saying that, Ocean Park is quite well looked after compared to some of the other Chinese parks I visited.
D1993, Arctic Blast is going to be a powered Mack family coaster - nothing too exciting.

Does anyone have any idea when the Arctic Blast Mack coaster is due to open?
Looking at RCDB, it looked to be doing pretty well at the end of 2011, but there still seems to be no news when it's actually going to open:

I think it's got to do with it being in a new themed area. When the area around the ride is ready, it will open, just as with Hair Raiser.
They have so many projects going on there at the same time it's crazy. Last summer, I could barely recognize it from my previous trip so much had changed from my previous visits.

Ugh, so there's little chance of it opening before the beginning of June then? 
I'm crossing my fingers that the S&S Happy Valley coaster will open soon. Screamscape say they're going pretty well with testing, and it looks awesome.
I'm massively regretting only booking myself 3 nights in Hong Kong!

Urgh the S&S! It was finished last November when I was there, yet still no sign of anything running. Why can't they just open the bloody thing? It looks **** fantastic!
