especially around the station area. Each track is over 1km in length at 1,143 and 1,193m respectively and each of the parallel chain lifts is 32m long. The ride comes equipped with four Philadelphia Toboggan Company trains (two per track) and the experience lasts around 60 seconds from the top of lift to the brakes.
“Having ridden the ride I can tell you it is very fast and very smooth!” enthuses Bingham. “We certainly have delivered the number one in China and one of the top woodies in the world, which will be hard to beat for some time!” Fabrication and shipping has already started for a third MVR/Gravity Group wooden coaster for Happy Valley Tianjin. Located roughly 120km from Beijing, the city can be reached by high speed train in just 30 minutes from the Chinese capital. The ride in question will be of a similar out-and-back configuration as Fireball in Shanghai and is set to open when the park debuts in spring of next year.
