What’s going on guys and welcome back to the channel! A couple months ago as I was scrolling through my recommendations, I came across a video uploaded by a friend in China that took me by surprise. This friend is Roller Coaster Dream, and she has an amazing channel with solid POVs and content of a lot of the coasters I cover. Definitely check her and her team out, they’ve been amazing to me in reaching out and letting us use their footage. Anyways, the video had a thumbnail of a pretty rad-looking launch coaster, that I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. The track style was something I wasn’t used to, but upon closer inspection, I quickly became familiar with the manufacturer. With 4 inversions and nearly 3,000 feet of track, today’s coaster is the first major launch coaster from its manufacturer, and it’s so new and under-the-radar that it doesn’t even have a name! So what is it? And where does it come from? This is the story, of Sanya Silk Road Happy World’s, unknown Catapult Coaster! 👑🎢

A name should be revealed soon.
Beautiful layout
They are definitely on the right track, I like the direction they are going with this, starting with a short layout. Jinma rides (Or Golden horse as it was known as), Is on the right track, but there are still a couple of kinks to work out. For one, They need a track style unique to them, something that makes it stand out. Secondly, transitions. They are getting better at it, that is good, but it still does need some work. But other than that, they are on the right track. Hopefully they can stop relying on copying other's designs, and make their own!
If you get a chance I recommend that you should check out the White Roller Coaster at the WA state fair it is the oldest Roller Coaster in my state
I like the layout and look, but It's a company that doesn't create their own succes. It steels ideas and doesn't pay for the rights of using track and car design. Always brings a bitter taste in the mouth….
When Vekoma and B&M working together….
The layout and inversions look like it is too fast
The pace and layout are amazing. This is ehat B&M could be if they stopped making they're new rides rely on hangtime and actually made them intense instead.
This actually looks like a great ride. I wouldn't be mad if Jinma builds more of these.
So a Chinese manufacturer reaches out to a youtuber, when Youtube itself in banned in China…
If it gets a name, it will be something dragon clouds and heaven.
The launch looks awesome
Looks like b&m intamin and vekoma had a baby 😂😂 I wouldn’t say original but i guess on the right track
I think jinma yes they knocked off older coasters there newer models are unique even though they use similar track type but loads off company's do that so hope to see these in Europe and America soon
Actually Roller Coaster Dream is a coaster enthusiast club here. Jinma has improved a ton during the past few years
So nuts they freaking stole B&M's track design. You'd think it'd be protected. At least they chose to copy the best track in the industry. Most expensive, I think, but it's the most reliable, allows for largest spans and I'd imagine its the strongest. Some insane views that person was filming from, no safety fences or anything. Nuts, haha.
Jinma and China in general seem to have bought a lot of coatser from s&s, intamin, b&m, vekoma among other to basically examine their techniques, construction and other things to basically combine all the best attributes. While I can respect this to an extent it also feels a bit cheap and like stealing. Idk just my opinion
I'd say that Jinma rides have greatly improved over the years by the looks of things. I remember those awkward looking SLC clones they used to make. Glad to see them try something different. Would definitely give this ride a go.
It was probably built by noble rides, a Swiss manufacturer owned by jinma
It's not completely unknown…this coaster train was at Orlando IAAPA as this layout was supposed to be at that new Oasis at Lakeport Park in Missouri. Somewhere along the way the Jinma concept got dropped for 2 Vekoma family coasters🤷♂️🤷♂️ Kinda odd bc the coaster train had the park name on it so it seemed like they were far along in negotiations.
I’m really happy that Jimma is doing there own stuff now I’m excited to see what they can do in the future
I like it good vid love the models from China
This is the kind of ride I’d love to see B&M building, I’ve never understood why that haven’t made an LSM launched version of their sit down/floorless model even though they’re obviously capable of building launched coasters
First time finding out Roller Coaster Dream is a woman. Nothing wrong with that, just thought it was interesting.
They definitely shouldn’t steal B&M’s box-spine track, but apart from that, this actually looks great! Decently punchy launch, really forceful-looking loop, and very fast paced! And wow, just lap bars! Pair that with the decent profiling, and I’m sure it’s fairly comfortable! Not bad Jinma!
Don’t understand why you’re saying such nice words. Ok the ride looks great, but it’s B&M’s track and Intamin’s trains. So, it’s not their design, but a clear ripoff like what they usually do.
That just looks like a B&M copycat to me.
This looks really good actually. I don't know anything about the Chinese manufacturers aside from them replicating designs from larger builders. It would be neat to see a series that focuses on these Chinese manufacturers and some of the crazy rides that they have made.
This looks quite forceful at moments the track looks like it has video game shaping at the turns at 3:03 to 3:06
I think that you should make a video diving into Nobel Rides. It is a company owned by the Jinma Rides company and sells coasters in western markets. I know very few people who know about them, even though they were at the last IAAPA and have a wide selection of models and clones.
A coaster model similar to this (same trains) is set to open at an upcoming theme park in Missouri in collaboration with their subsidiary Noble Rides; making it one of Jimna's first roller coasters to open outside China
honestly if they hate jimna for copying or being similar then they would hate mack and intamin quite a bit lmao
The true surf coaster
I really like this, and I would be pretty excited if an American park decided to purchase one of these. Heck, throw in a batwing element and I'd be cool with this filling the long vacant shoes of the Orient Express at Worlds of Fun. Which is not something I say lightly, the OE deserves a proper replacement.
What was the wooden coaster at the beginning of the video? That drop looks incredible.
