Earlier this month Twister, a spinning coaster by Intamin, opened at the park! A full POV video of the ride can be seen here: https://v.douyin.com/SRNa4vs/







The park's other coaster, named either Barracuda or Whale Breaking the Sky-Roller Coaster, is still testing and it looks like the walkway that goes under the coaster has opened:

New photos from Huss Park Attractions of their recently opened Sky Tower:

The Sky Tower is a huge observation tower with a lifting and rotating circular passenger cabin. Guests sit at the circumference with an outward-facing seat row that delivers a memorable panoramic outside view. The ride needs no seat restraints and features a nice smooth movement, meaning that there are no height or age restrictions for the passengers.

After reaching the maximum lift height, the cabin runs through at least one complete circle, so that guests can enjoy the full view around them.

For this project, Huss Park Attractions delivered a typhoon-classified version of its successful Sky Tower. Due to the location of the park, it was important that the 120-metre tall tower is able to safely stand even in cyclones.

The observation tower's design includes ocean-themed decorative elements, adding an appealing extra element for guests and encouraging photo opportunities. The machine house follows the wave motion of the sea, and turtles decorate the underside of the gondola, which makes the ride fun for spectators watching from below as well.

For the comfort of riders, the gondola is equipped with air-conditioning and features a double curved window to give wide-ranging views of the beautiful scenery. It is also accessible for guests with disabilities and wheelchair passengers.

The park's Intamin Vertical Lift Coaster, which was set to be named "Barracuda" in English, may have switched to using the literal translation from Chinese, which is "Whale Breaking the Sky-Roller Coaster".
