S&S launched coaster for Happy Valley Beijing

[robbeal]

This thing looks mental! The whole launch-into weird twisting, climbing hill-followed by massive straight drop looks awesome! Why-oh-why does it have to be in China? Its not fair.

 

[CMonster]

^ Yeah, why do no American/European parks build rides that crazy?

 

[Snoo]

^I'd start a list.. but it is much too long to write.

 

[CMonster]

^ True, true.

Although ^^ was more a frustrated cry for crazy rides to be built in America than a question... just in question form. :wink:

Keep in mind this is the first of 2. Happy Valley Shenzhen is due to get one of these as well, although with a different layout.

the metal bars that go over you feet look like they could brush you

****ing hell. Airtime, much?

 

[CMonster]

Wow... those turns are very, very strange.

 

[Anonymous]

Absolutely love it!!
I just wish that they build one closer to home...

And that banked hill looks sick!!

If only American parks would do the same.

**** hell. Airtime, much?

Where? I saw a spot or too.. but nothing really 'OMG' worthy.

 

[Dave]

The 90 degree turn has airtime in it.

 

[roomraider]

that first large overbank is pretty goofy looking though

Reminds me a bit of the first hill on Blue Fire.

Would certainly like to know how it rides, especially that weird final hill. I'm pretty interested to see how the new one in Shenzen turns out too.

Looked pretty full of it in that video. I'm probably wrong. :wink:

 

[Snoo]

Of course.. you can never tell how much airtime a ride can have until you ride it. It could be lame B&M Hyper airtime or Boulder Dash.

 

[Antinos]

That looks like quite a rush. The launch looks powerful and the first hill looks like a ton of fun. The final hill looks very bizarre, but fun nonetheless.

 

[Lofty]

Am I the only person that thinks apart from the launch and the first hill, this ride is pretty dull? Yeah, it LOOKS ok but for some reason I don't think it would ride as good..

Someone just posted a video of this coaster in action to our Facebook Page. Holy Balls.

Looks like alot of corners to me.

 

[Snoo]

Looks kinda interesting. Could be epic or could be meh.
