Jin Jiang Action Park

148

From this park we headed back into town towards Jin Jiang Action Park. This is a small inner city park with a decent number of coasters.

First of the 4 was the moto-coaster, the newest addition. This was a Zamperla model similar to the one in Darien Lake, but this one was much more fun to ride with the train being thrown into the turns. In hindsight the American one was much too gentle having experienced what the ride is capable of.

Second up was the Shuttle Loop, which I was dreading based on the experience in Nandaihe. However this ride was much better with a smoother ride and some nice Gs going through the loop. It was also cool having it so close to the express way.

Third was the park's indoor coaster themed around a rocket journey through a cave over run with dinosaurs. A 2 lap track saw the second one being much more illuminated and the dinosaurs moving. I'm wondering if the ride design was to have the first lap in the dark then the second lit up as if indicating a space journey to a dinosaur planet.

The final coaster was another spinning mouse ride. This one was different however in that it had a great operations team that were running the ride correctly. So far we'd seen operations that insisted on keeping 3 trains in the station and one on the track. It was good to see the inverse.

The rest of the park was very pretty with some lovely silk creations dotted around the park and a nice selection of rides. One downside is that some of the drains were open leaving some pockets of bad smells around the park, no worse than a Viper fart on the US trip though.

Jinjiang Park has it's own metro station towards the southern end of Line 1
