[Slamming Coastercore]

Mega bump, but S&S have updated their website and along with it, posted what looks to be the layout for this coaster:-

Is it just me or is the element labelling a bit "off"? Those don't look like what I'd call twisting double-down's haha

The latest update is that there's no updates. Despite reports that S&S crews were headed to China last year to finish construction, the coaster doesn't look like its been touched in a very long time;

"Erm, ACUALLY, that doesn't look complete "

Amazing that this project just popped up again after being dead for so long. Shame the ride'll probably feel like it has square wheels like the rest of 'em (they look it, at least).

The 3 I've ridden (Beijing, Wuhan, Shenzhen) are all lovely smooth and great rides (sans one pothole on the Wuhan one) and in fact the Shenzhen one makes it into my top 10.

Anyway the first 2 pictures were taken before the ride was complete. The second 2 are the lifting of the final piece. On a curve that isn't even there in the first 2 pictures

Some more including some close ups

That actually looks like a fun little layout, shame S&S just....isn't...selling these outside of China.
Something like this would do wonders at pretty much any Six Flags park and it doesn't even look like it uses that much space.

I'd suggest that they're not getting a look in with parks outside of China when Inamin and Vekoma are providing similar experiences for a fraction of the cost. They'll 100% be TRYING to sell them anywhere they possible can do, but won't be as successful.

I guess i didn't factor in the price, rcdb doesn't seem to have a cost attached to any of them.

And we finally have testing. Looks rapid but I expect they'll dial in the speed a bit over the next few weeks.

Can't say I'm a fan of these new S&S neck restraints though

 

[Fiender]

Gosh, I hope this thing is successful. Though that support structure looks too Steel-Curtain-y for my liking x.x

This ride hasn't had the best of luck. The Happy Valley Shenzhen crash occurred while this ride was testing. And the subsequent 2 year shut down of all the S&S launch coasters in China while the investigation continued this ride has never operated with guests.

However it appears the ride is now resting again suggesting an opening could be on the horizon finally.

Did you mean testing, not resting? o.o

I did... Good spot
Although as it's not operated in 2 years perhaps it has been resting
