[roomraider]

Hey guys
First early construction pics of this ride are in.

Not quite sure why the pieces for the support are all together on the ground but I will let you speculate on that.The report also says that the first delivery of parts should have arrived on the 5th of May.

Could this be the track to this coaster (courtesy of Screamscape)?

^^ My guess is that they want to check if all the support pieces actually fit together perfectly before shipping, say that one of the braces is a bit too short/long, it's cheaper to do a quick test in the factory instead of finding out during the build.

^ Nope, Flyer track have curved track-ties so that it can handle the forces better. Those track pieces are either for sit-down (all types) or a new stand up.

Any idea on layout or is it just another Superman clone?

I'm really looking forward to seeing the layout of this especially the loop but I say it'll most likely be a pretzel loop.

Is this that massive Flyer in some new park we saw plans for a while back?

 

[Pokemaniac]

Whoa. That's one big support there. This will be huge. At least, it looks so.

I think about going to China once. Perhaps in five year's time. Hopefully, I'll get to ride this then.

This site has confirmed that it is infact a normal loop and NOT a pretzel loop.

or in dodgy translation mode

Has now been confirmed, this roller coaster of the Loop is the normal flight ring, not the Pretzel Loop Headers ring. ！ !

That's pretty interesting news. I wonder if it will be inside facing or outside facing. I'm also interested in the double corkscrew that's supposed to be in the ride.

 

[roomraider]

U can get a rough idea of the first half of the layout with the loop here.
Following this its a right turn around the station, a double corkscrew and then a left handed helix into the brakes.

Supposedly, there's been a stand-up sold to a park in China, too.

 

[roomraider]

Indeed. I'm 99.9% sure i know where to as well. Although I'm not expecting it to pop up until 2012 I'm keeping an eye out for it.

Edit: Infact heres a model of it at Ocean Park

I don't understand why people aren't more excited about this ride, it appears to have a much more interesting layout than any other B&M flyer out there.

 

[Snoo]

Thats a B&M Flyer?

 

[Gavin]

^Because of where it's located.

If it were in an American or UK park it would be up to 50 pages by now, but it's suffering from that "I will never get there...wah wah wah" attitude.

The new stand up at Ocean Park (if that's what it is) looks very interesting. I thought these things were practically dead...

Erection.

Not seeing anything curved there.... Just squared edges.

There are, however, SOME sections that do have a curvy track tie on the older flyers- the newer ones not so much.

 

[bob_3_]

I can see the curve of the ties Xpress. Esspecially on the first picture.

 

[Antinos]

Xpress; are you retarded?

The colors are definitely unique...
