Happy Valley Beijing | Music Roller Coaster | B&M Hyper Coaster

[Kw6sTheater]

Well, I'd imagine that the reason those only are seen in China is because most parks have a motive like - why go for the $10 million B&M family invert when we can get a Vekoma with an identical layout for half that price? I don't see many of these popping up, as it's probably more economical to go with an S&S or Vekoma suspended coaster over a B&M.

Because it's adorable and I want it.

Well today was the day, all hopes of getting this cred were long gone so it wasn't a disappointment to not get on. We didn't see any testing all day though.

I'll try to get a trip report done soon but overall we had an excellent day!

 

[Hixee]

Glad to hear the day was a success even without this cred!

Not really to do with the hyper but with a new yellow B&M in town Crystal Wings at Happy Valley Beijing is looking snazzy it its new orange paint job.

Isn't it like Crystal Wings' second repaint now? I remember it first had faded orange colours. It keeps getting flashier as it goes for some reason.

That's really sad, the yellow was fitting way better the ancient city theme.

The yellow was horrible. This isn't great, but it's closer to the original colour scheme I guess.

Yeah the original colour was the best, it was unique too. How many coasters have a dusty pink track? And those almost rose gold/orangey metallic trains <3

I think this new scheme is miles better than the last though.

Here is a reverse pov from MiyaPA Masane, looks like a great coaster and i love seeing the splash effect.

Why only one train?

Why only one train?

China.

Why only one train?

There are two maintenance bays. There is a train in one of the maintenance bays. So the ride has two trains.

This is only a test run, so does it really need to run two trains?

It'll likely never run two trains. Because, as Ben says;

China.

The second train will always just sit in the shed. They might swap them out every once in a while...

This is a country where they’ll still run one train on rides with a two hour queue on a holiday weekend.

Trust me, they have no intention of ever running two trains on this.

It’s sad, I did think Disney might give at least some of the chains a kick up the arse but, nah

I've seen Dauling Dragons duelling with an amazing throughput on the October Golden week. You never know.

I'm not the go to authority on the matter, but I DID see Happy Valley Shanghai running two trains on Fireball. It was during a public holiday, and despite that the line was still 1h 30 long. Just saying...
