US ride manufacturer S&S Worldwide will build and install an air launch coaster for China’s Changsha Window of the World theme park.

Located in the Hunan province city of the same name, the Changsha park is recognised as the largest in central China as well as the area’s most important base for travel, film, television, culture and entertainment. Established in 1997, it contains around 50 replicas of famous tourist attractions from around the world.

“S&S is excited to be installing our 5th Air Launch Coaster in China,” says the company’s executive director of sales, Gerald Ryan. “The coaster at Changsha Window of the World, with a maximum height of 40m and a track length measuring 830m long, will contain over 10 exciting elements with multiple inversions launching at a max speed of 100km/h.”

Set to open at the start of 2019, the ride will be the first S&S Air Launch Coaster to feature inversions.
