OCT Dinosaur Dream Works| China | Huangshi

[roomraider]

Some concept art and construction photos from a new park by OCT, the owners of the Happy Valley and Visionland parks in China.

This is Dinosaur Dream Works (恐龙梦工厂) in Huangshi and the concept art shows a new Antonio Zamperla Spa Thunderbolt Coaster (interestingly called Lightning Coaster on the map), a Jinma Rides inverting Super Spinning Coaster and a Chinese built SLC.



It seems all art also lines up with the construction pictures with all 3 coasters visible and the Jinma spinner already vertical.



The park is due to open October 2023 and with China now opening up once again hopefully we will get more new park updates coming through soon

It's been confirmed the thunderbolt coaster
mentioned in the post above will be a modified longer version of the 01 layout we've seen in New York, Korea and Alabama

The ride will use the new Lightning Coaster cars seen at IAAPA and will be the first installation of Zamperlas new Lightning Coaster model.

As far as construction photos go this is one of the worst ever. But god these obscure Chinese parks are hard to find images of sometimes.

The Zamperla Lightning Coaster has gone vertical.

Its that smudge over there. Promise.

Edit - A bit of a better image.

The white tower on the left is the Lightning coaster lift hill.


And a shot of the almost complete (but not painted) SLC

Up goes Zamperlas first Lightning Coaster model. Looking very much like the Thunderbolt model we know and love/not love.

Zamperla posted a video that was shot by the students at the University of Wuhan showing off the track and construction of this new Lightning coaster.

Zamperla Coasters on Instagram: "The first Lightning 689 is standing tall. This video was recently shot by students at the University of Wuhan and broadcast nationally in China, team member Thomas Ferrari is helping run the project. #zamperlarides #

Some more shots of the new Lightning Coaster. Looks awful familier
Trains are on track now too.

New track style though. Hopefully they learned some lessons with the prototype.

Zamperla also posted on Instagram a photo of the train.

Some new photos of the Lightning Coaster testing.

With the new trackstyle and 4-across trains it actually is a very good looking coaster. If it runs smooth this ride could be a good options for other midsized or larger parks.

Wonder how well it tracks. The off ride of the corkscrew looked decent but they cut the off ride shot of the zero g roll
