So this is actually a new coaster type by Intamin (going by RCDB, this is the only one). Although the fantastic name suggests its just a different take on the Half Pipe coaster.

http://www.rcdb.com/10044.htm

And its confirmed as a 'shuttle' coaster.

A lie-down/flying half pipe maybe?

No, I think Ive seen renderings for this online its basically their Wing Ride car, with back to back seating like on a Vekoma Faceoff and it just goes through like that.

Cant remember where I saw them though :-(

I feel **** retarded right now. Completely forgot about those.

Yes, like their Zac Spin car, but not sure if it will rotate or not.

The seats will not rotate, and the ride will have Skyrush lap bars.

There are a lot of renderings of this ride over at Vetical Horizon.

But then again, there have been no signs of this coaster, here are some pics from the park's soft opening

If the ride does actually exists, then the park has done a damn good job of hiding it from the internet.

Unless its going to do something different, like go really fast, I cant really see the point in the new seating arrangement...

^ What about spin madly and flip around?

Zac Spins are the most underrated roller coaster type out there. With the one car operation, riders experience all of the forces, making for great drops and turns.

I would imagine the Fly Rider would have better capacity as well vs. a Zacspin.

Right side of the picture, the station foundation looks like a giant H.

I read 120km/h somewhere, so it will be a pretty decent thrill.
By most Chinese park standards it will probably be a top 5-10 in the country.

It says that it will be "almost" 60 meters tall, so ya, around 200 feet ish.
But it does look really tall on the renderings

So its Intamin's answer to the Vekoma Hammerhead then.

I really liked the Half Pipe at WDS, so I reckon I'd love this!

Yeah, I also thought of the Vekoma, but Im sure this will be a lot more awesome!
Since there are no turns, the ride will not be a new Baco, and with lapbars only! :--D

Yea, I agree that that bit of concrete looks like a station for this.

That's an extreme version of a Half-Pipe, pretty impressive, especially with lap-bars :D

The track is on site and the station building is well into construction, so there is sign of the coaster.
When TPR asked, they said it would be done within two months, but that may be a bit optimistic.
