What's new

Silk Road Paradise | Xi'an China | Theme Park

I think it's probably a combo of earthquake and CSEI. Green Lantern was designed for an extremely high seismic area and wasn't even that beefy. I'm guessing they had to really up the sizing due to CSEI's standards.
 
And that picture of my beloved Kirnu (ride operated it for 3yrs) is OLD. It is from the opening season and man, that that swung like a.. hard thing when train passes. After first season Linnanmaki and Intamin installed two kinda tilted pair of colums to suppor the structure.

For this ”2nd generation” I am eager to see if this is 3 train operational and does it have restains like Intamin 2nd blitz trains.. ❤️🙈
 
Ah, now that it’s complete it’s a lot clearer what the support structure is.



Appears to simply be a beefier version of Kirnu’s supports, probably for CSEI. I color coded support beams that I found to be similar between the two for reference.
This is AWESOME detailed picture ! Thanks :)
 
Here be a gallery that I dug up from Chinese social media, they have a legit Zamperla NebulaZ there like the other park. As of right now the spinner, Super Dazzling Odyssey (which I think looks amazing), appears to be the only coaster open of the four;

Here's also a pretty cool drone tour, shows off the theming of the park nicely enough;

Is that.. is that a Maurer spinner.. with an inversion? …
It's a Jinma super spinning coaster. There are actually quite a few of them throughout China. The most notable example is probably the one at China Dinosaurs Park, home to Dinoconda.
