Not quite...

There is a red train and a blue train. One is on the track and the other is undergoing the required maintenance.

Yay, new B&M, this time in Hong Kong at Ocean Park....Guess I might have to work my next overseas trip to fly with an airline that stops over there... http://rcdb.com/9647.htm?p=0

What is it with China and all the good new coasters of late? Seems they are popping up everywhere there.

The theme park industry over in Asia has just been booming in recent years, its no surprise there's a sudden demand for newer/better rollercoasters.

SE went down was because something came out of someones pocket and hit someone behind them, and it was closed down for 30 minutes

Am I the only one here who has a problem with this? Why should something falling out of some one's pocket cause 20 mins downtime? Sure, the injured (if they were injured, I've a hard time imagining they would be) people must be seen to, but surely that's not something that would tie up the ride ops for 30 mins? Something doesn't click with that story... Gazza, the Ocean Park B&M is a Stand Up, first one in 12 years, awesome! I was starting to think they didn't still make them.

Oh that excites me greatly, whilst scaring me that it's a Ocean Park Can't wait to go back now! B&M Stand Up still my favourite coaster design by far.

Still a rumour about it being stand up Joz....Though if it is, it would be cool since it would be the first stand up with a Zero G Roll.

B&M Stand Up still my favourite coaster design by far.

I did get a pretty awesome ride on Riddlers last time when I deliberatley adjusted the harness so all the weight was on my feet Though I still think their Flyers and Dive Machine are better...Inverteds too.

I did say favourite, not best Whilst it is my favourite, just because it's so different they definately do have BETTER coasters. I would say nemesis, Tatsu, the Dragons and Batman all kick ass. I still can't get past loving the "YOU STAND UP??!!!" factor though.

A B&M Standup, from a park that has this kind of landscape to work with? THats a whole new element of scary... THe other two pictures attached were signboards on display in the park in february 2010. I believe from the other signage in the park it was suggested a toboggan style coaster in the polar section, and the thrill section was their next big coaster plan.

Booooo, turns out it's a floorless: http://airtimers.com/ocean-park-hong-kong-...itparks/006798/

Given their current ride lineup, I don't think their guests will be too disappointed. Presently, they're the "dreamworld" in that picture, while HKDL down the road would be the figurative MW... theming vs. thrill.... At least the HK equivalent of Dreamworld is building a B&M and not falsely advertising showtimes.

I wish it was a B&M standup although it's good to see they are still trying to do "new" things such as the wing rider they are currently developing/building.

They've certainly gone at a 'kraking' pace over at Heide Park...Nearly finished: http://my.heide-park.de/pg/photos/thumbnail/47072/large/

...And we have our first look (albeit from afar) at B&Ms new wing walker style trains: http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x268/wi.../webimage1j.jpg

Gazza I think this photo might show a little more

Thorpe park are getting a B&M Wing Rider now, with a rather awesome looking 'inversion' first drop...Basically the train does half a barrel roll at the top and then dives down a massive half loop: http://lc12.co.uk/lc12plan/LC12-Island-Birds-Eye.png http://lc12.co.uk/lc12plan/LC12-Elevation-...stSouthEast.png

Are these the official submitted plans? Or are they still just planning/land/height area plans? Edit: Just did a bit of research and they are the the final submitted plans. More info can be found here: http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/11...Plans-Released
