The Linnanmäki 2019 is called Taiga, made by Intamin! Features 2 launches and 4 inversions! Layout published:
That looks pretty darn sweet - it will probably be the best ride in the park by a longshot.
lol...probably?
Layout-wise it reminds me a lot of Taron, but better.
That looks tasty, I wish they would release more renders.
Stumbled across some share-worthy pics of a new B&M wing coaster going up at Wanda City in Wuxi, China:
...and more recent ones with worse resolution but showing the themeing work going on:
Layout's definitely interesting, and it looks to have some novel features - a low and presumably high speed stretch of turns in and around scenery before the MCBR, and an inline twist that looks almost like it's the start and end of a corkscrew, with a long, slow, flat roll in the center. Could be neat!

Wow that coaster looks surprisingly good! Any word on the height? It looks fairly tall compared to some of the US ones.
I'm pretty sure it's the only hyper wing coaster.
It's 196 ft tall
I was almost there
^^This is one of those Alpengeist situations, where it's so close to being a hyper. Just wondering, why couldn't they have made it literally four feet taller? It might garner more attention as the first hyper wing coaster.
So does this mean that Gatekeeper will no longer be the record holder for world's tallest inversion?
^^This is something I always wonder about with these coasters that are only a few feet away from breaking a major height barrier. Why not go all the way?
Probably Cause they don’t use imperial in China.
I'm so thankful that China doesn't have any knock-off B&M coasters, but why are they getting all the cool wing coasters all of a sudden?
Even coasters come in trends. China has been on a wooden coaster kick for a while and now they're moving into wing coasters.
SeaWorld Parks just filed for these trademarks:
Twisted Tiger
Tigris
Uproar
I would say Twisted Tiger sounds a lot like RMC but Gwazi is in really bad shape right now. SRII maybe? Seaworld seems to like those rides
Is it me or are there too many Twisted's in ride names?
I feel like this is appropriate in this situation:
(i got permission from ride plz don't ban me)
I could most definitely see Gwazi becoming an RMC, Especially with a name like that haha. My guess is they're doing what they did to SC and butchering one half of the coaster only to use it for more footing with the conversion.
Cant they just make the first dueling RMC. LOL
