I presume this will be a clone of Pulsar? Or is this just the bog-standard layout and there aren't any other alternative layout options?

^It's a bog standard layout.

I'm sure if you were desperate you could change it, but, what would you really do with it? Add another airtime hill? Great.

Twist one of the spikes, maybe? Twist both? Have one spike go at a 45-degree angle while twisting, sparking endless debates on whether it counts as an inversion? Inexplicably stop finding buyers for the models for years despite apparent popularity and a really convenient footprint, then suddenly have one pop up in China a decade later?

They already have a rapids ride in that spot. Is it really a replacement?

The layout represent that the original rapid rides will be renovated

Couple of extra concept arts:

Reverse shot of the same bit of rapids.
Those guests are eating and swapping positions. Eject them from the park.

Great news: the big tap thing is staying. Where's the giant bull though.

Mine Train retheme = multi storey car park.

I'll sticky this for the few weeks until it's open.

So then was Pulsar the first coaster to feature an airtime hill launch? I was thinking Copperhead Strike, I forgot about Pulsar.

So glad to see another Pulsar in the world. Fantastic ride experience which I really want to see pop up in more places.

Sorry to bump the thread, but from looking at photos this coaster does appear to feature a turntable for 2-boat operation. Just a shame the Six Flags version doesn't.

Doesn't mean much. Chinese parks usually buy the full package available (multiple trains etc.), but then never run them properly. HV Shenzhen probably has the worst operations in the chain as well.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the colour, but I love the overall aesthetic, and the splash zone area looks great.

 

[SimonProD]

So....how long untill we will see a "Made in China" Power Splash?

 

[Pokemaniac]

Unstuck the thread because the coaster has run with passengers.

Now, if only we could figure out the name of the thing...

I'd love it get a look at how the splash zone works in proper nitty-gritty detail!
