Wow! How does it make it back over the loop (it almost looks the size of the spike)? Is there another launch before the loop?[/stupidQ]

Sorry for the triple post

"Sorry" is not good enough!

I believe it launches half way up the loop, then launches back up the spike, then the final launch forwards and through the loop element and round the track. It stops by the station and would then transfer into the station once the other train has launched through the loop.

I see. Seems much a better idea on a shuttle coaster than on Full Throttle.

An amazing aerial update on the park and its coasters.

Dem interlocking corkscrews yo. The one side looms like it would feel so stupendously awkward force wise.

I want it.

It remains to be seen whether the park will actually duel the tilt coasters though, or, indeed, even bother to have two sides open at all.

With Wanda being so new on the scene with regards to parks, we've got idea how they'll run things, but I'm not too optimistic based on the other two major chains; Happy Valley and, even moreso, Fantawild run things appallingly.

Re: Wanda Hefei | Unknown | Intamin Launched Semi-Shuttle

I'm surprised! I was expecting it to be 90 degree tilt. The layout is more substantial than I thought too.

And the award for the ugliest coaster in the world goes to…

I'm not a huge fan of the Intamin's layout, I would have preferred it to dive straight for the Temple Helix area from the first turnaround and wind from the top down a few times before returning and doing all the faff in the middle.
It just looks a bit naff after the turnaround to me.

Just noticed the pull-through in the loop! I wonder if this will have winged trains or not..

Re: Wanda Hefei | Unknown | Intamin Launched Semi-Shuttle

The size of the pullthrough trains shows how utterly massive this is.

Looks really nice! It does look like it was built with the city, with the large amounts of construction and all.

I hope I can get over to China to ride some stuff.

Re: Wanda Hefei | Unknown | Intamin Launched Semi-Shuttle

Is that a non inverting dive loop there? Looks pretty close.

 

[Lofty]

Re: Wanda Hefei | Unknown | Intamin Launched Semi-Shuttle

I think we can safely say, that's inverting.
