China: “Fighter Jet“ Coaster Offers Flight Over Fantawild Park Glorious Orient

On May 28, Chinese theme park operator Fantawild Holdings opened its latest destination Fantawild Park Glorious Orient in the metropolis of Guangzhou. Visitors to the park, which is divided into six themed areas, are able to enjoy numerous attractions such as the “Zhiyuan” indoor rafting experience, a 3D cinema, a flying theater, the “Railroad Warriors” 4D ride and numerous attractions for children. The highlight is the “Jet Fighter” Top Gun Launch Coaster from Dutch manufacturer Vekoma, the station building of which appears as an aircraft carrier.

Accelerating to 97 km/h within three seconds, the roller coaster experience offers a thrilling speed rush. Directly after the launch the train, which is designed as a jet plane and offers seats for up to eight passengers “on board”, reaches the highest point of the track at 32 meters. From here, the train winds into what the manufacturer says is the “world’s first rollover camelback” element. For an adrenaline-infused roller coaster experience, the Jet Fighter offers a total of five airtime moments and four inversions. (eap)
