I'm sure I remember having a topic about this somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere at the moment.

Happy Valley's latest park is due to open in around a year's time in Wuhan, China.

The Gravity Group have just released an animated POV of their racing/dueling woodie for this park. It will feature the never-before-seen "high five" element, in which racing trains bank sharply towards each other.

So far, this is the only coaster confirmed for this park, but I'm sure we'll hear of more soon, since all of the recent Happy Valley developments have opened up with a much fuller coaster line up.
 
I hope they get those timings down for the high five element. Wouldn't be AS fun if they were offl ike they were, I'd imagine.
 
^Yeah, I was thinking that they've made it "off" in the video so that you can see the other train and get a fuller idea of the racing/duelling element.

An issue I can see with it would be with dispatching to be honest. Both Happy Valley parks I've been to have had really crappy operations. If that trend continues, and the trains aren't dispatched together, or only one side ends up running at a time, then the "high five" thing becomes totally pointless.
 
Damn, I hope they eliminate that with this. Setup a op booth like Tatsus, where it's just once in the center.
 
Well, there's no ride like this in China; it will be the first. What I meant was that operations are generally crappy at the Happy Valley parks: one train on busy days, slow loading etc.
 
All I know about Wuhan is that they make the best china cymbals for drummers...
