Another park that seems to have slipped under the TS radar, I know there are a lot of Wanda parks springing up and it is quite hard to keep track of them all (I've had a good search of the forum and there doesn't appear to be a topic yet), but this one is a particularly interesting on, if only for some of the coasters that are being built.

The park is being built on the side of a lake, around 500km inland from Shanghai and is part of a larger complex including an indoor water park. It is supposedly going to be one of the larger of the Wanda parks. According to the RCDB entry the park is getting four coasters, a Big Apple and a wild mouse being the two standard filler coasters for the park. However, the two other coasters are much more interesting and are now fully built.

The first of which is a pair of 'Dueling Chinese knock off Tilt Coasters'.... Yes, I am as scared as the rest of you! Built by 'Beijing Jiuhua Amusement Rides' unlike the original concept art the rides don't actually feature a 'fully vertical tilt'.

The coasters are now fully complete, and new areal images appear to show a set of 3 bizarre interlocking corkscrews.

It certainly looks interesting to say the least, will be intrigued to see how it rides.

And as seen in the background of the second image, the park also has a frankly colossal Intamin launched coaster, a strange 'semi-shuttle' forwards back backwards launch segment much like the 'Premier SkyRocket' coasters and the worlds tallest non-inverting loop standing at 55m taking the crown from Ferrari World before their coaster has even opened!

Looks like a fantastic coaster, the loop is massive, the launch section with the reverse launch up the vertical spike should offer some great hang time and the rest of the layout looks full of the classic snappy Intamin transitions. And as the panorama below proves, the whole thing really is huge!!

The rest of the park looks set to have some fun attractions with the images showing a starflyer, a drop tower, what appears to be an Intamin Gyro Swing and plenty of kids rides.

And finally, once completed the park should look absolutely stunning complete with theming from Dutch company 'Jora Vision', information on which can be found over on their website

Looks set to be yet another brilliant park in China... They really are going full steam ahead with the whole theme park thing these days.
 
I'd just created a thread about this but seeing as yours is more detailed I've deleted it and let this one remain! :p

The Intamin coaster here is very unusual, a launched kind of shuttle coaster that does complete a circuit. And as for the Chinese tilting coaster, well I'm not sure that I would be trusting that to keep be alive!

:)
 
It will probably look good, but be entirely soulless with theming made of polystyrene.

These parks are often flashy but I am just never sure about them.
 
Does look pretty good, but I'm I the only one who doesn't get these triple launches. If your going to have a launch just do it in one go.
 
Here's a much better POV of the Intamin:



I quite like it actually, looks like a lot of fun!

:)
 
That overbank is seriously amazing. The rest is pretty solid if not unspectacular though.
