You also have a point though. Those first photos show the ride over the midway. The latest batch showing that tilted helix and subsequent hill are not over the midway so there's less of a reason for them not to reach ground level. It's almost as if they've raised the whole ride by a few meters late in the process.
Which in China is not unheard of. The MVR woodie at hotgo was moved to the side slightly very late in the process which is why it has enormously tall footers around some of its layout as the ride was built for slightly different terrain to what it was eventually built in.
This ride however doesn't have huge footers so if they did raise it, it was done after the track design but before manafacturering. Who knows really.

Aside from the high pullouts, the layout is also rather unconventional for a Wing Coaster, with the second half almost looking like a Hyper Coaster design.
Do we know what’ll come after that last airtime hill?

Left hand quite large looking corkscrew and then a left hand high banked 270 degree horseshoe turn over the lake which crosses over the exit of the corkscrew into the brakes

What a weird layout for a wing coaster. I like it though, some of those elements look great tbh.

It's like they wanted a hyper model but remembered that chinese parks have to have a wing coaster.
Yeah, I agree. I love the sequence from the Immelmann to the end of the Corkscrew - love the look of the flow!

Nice shot of the entrance canopy going in and the way the wing coaster pierces the roof over the pathway.

Some new construction shots of the park. Some interesting themeing going in.
Interestingly still no sign of the GCI despite almost every other ride being complete.

Obscure reference here but the boat next to the wing coaster really reminds me of the flying boats in a game called Atlantis that I played when I was a kid. Like the aesthetic.

OHH it’s a boat. I spent ages trying to figure out what the weird tentacle looking thing was

I assume all these themes are based off of Chinese fantasy fiction we are unaware of to be honest.
