So to be fair then, whilst it may not turn out nearly as good as Taron’s theming, they have at least understood the importance of Klugheims theme to Taron and are attempting something special.

Interesting to see some cad drawings of it. It looks as though there isn't quite as much theming surrounding it than Taron has? I think it'll look pretty odd without the 100ft rock faces either side of it, especially behind the turn after the second launch. Still excited to see the finished product though, even if it'll no doubt be inferior.

A ton of new pics can be found here.
Including some slightly better ones of Taron 2 and the Mine Train.
I dont think anyone is expecting this to live up to the original Taron themeing wise but nice to see them putting some effort in to the themeing either way.

Trains have arrived for Taron 2

I genuinely prefer this train design more than Taron's!
Oh yeah, no doubt in my mind that's a better zero-car than Taron's. It looks great!
I would have possibly liked to see a slightly more profiled first train (quite a flat looking car front behind the head), but that's just enthusiast privilege moaning.
EDIT: @Ethan jumped in just before me with the same comment.

I really like it!
I like that although this is a clone, they're putting the effort into giving it it's own indentity. I like the warmer coloured rock work with vegetation too. Possibly a western or spanish theme?
EDIT: Just looked back the building work is still very eastern looking. Are there any sort of legends and stories around bulls in China?

Carrying on the parks tradition of supplying really annoyingly low res images.
It's weird that they did not bother to theme the right side (on the picture) with the tunnel, but did theme the area inside the layout which is pretty much bare on Taron. This one also seems to require more stairs than Taron.
I am still wondering that the Chinese decided to slow down the ride even more. They probably want to avoid the wheel issues Phantasialand had suffered for years. I remember that Phantasialand even slowed down Taron in the summer because of wear. And trust me, it felt like a Family coaster. Tarons current speed is, in my opinion, the minimum for this layout. On the other hand, the chinese market is not yet so developed like the european and US market, so what we would consider an intense family ride, might qualify as a thrill ride over there.

An intense family ride, is literally a thrill coaster.
I can’t see how in any sense you’d class Taron as a family coaster, even if you don’t think it’s that good, it’s quite obvious it’s a thrill ride.

Plus at the end of the day any ride can be for families depending on how old your children are.?
