I should point out that I thought this was a very good park overall. I say this because in my visit today I did up ending up doing some of the parks worst rides, so it may look like the park isn't that good. I did do a lot of good rides on day 2, and it worked out that I missed out on some of the more disappointing ones then, that were left for me to do today.


This is a shuttle loop, called the Fen Shen Coaster. I've always struggled to pick a ride to name when asked what the worst coaster I've ever done is, not anymore. To call this one rough would be an understatement, and an insult to other coasters I've called rough that don't deserve to be compared to this. I was getting a bad head banging effect, even though I was tall enough for my head to be clear of the restraints, that's how much it shakes about.
That is bad, but it gets nightmarish when it goes backwards through the loop. The ride barely has enough momentum to get round, meaning it slows down to a crawl, it feels like a torture device that's about to shake itself to pieces.


New rule: Any roller coaster with a birds nest on it is best avoided.


The Mine Coaster wasn't too bad a ride, but didn't run as well as the copy I tried at Sun Park earlier in my holiday.


At this point it was over the other side of the park to Main Street USA China.


An impressive looking carousel.


This is the Shenzhou coaster. Not quite as bad as the Fen Shen Coaster, but it's another one that I won't be in a hurry to ride again. The worst time is an air time hill near the start, that throws you violently against your restraints, but the whole ride is on the rough side. This would be more tolerable if the ride was fast and thrilling, but like the Fen Shen Coaster it doesn't have enough momentum meaning your taking a lot of the inversions at a crawl.


Whoever designed that track layout has created a bit of a train wreck.


I did one log flume in the Adventure Land yesterday. Well Shijingshan Park has a second set. This is a more traditional one compared to the other one, but it's still not a bad ride. It does feel a little redundant with the other flume in the park, so I wouldn't be surprised is this was removed to make room for a new ride.


This building is actually a fun house. It wasn't that exciting a ride on the inside without that many features, and some drab corridors.
