The obscure roller coaster page.
Well Jinma have officially gone bonkers.

The new inverted design at Fantawild Ziyang features the first Finnish Loop I've ever seen in an inverted coaster.

The new Fantawild in Ziyang has a very interesting custom inverted coaster under construction from Jinma.

The park is also home to a custom junior boomerang also from Jinma.

It appears Chimelong Paradise will add 2 new coasters, a decent looking Jinma Swing Launch Coaster and a Jinma Power Splash with beyond vertical spikes.

Unfortunately this expansion seems like it will also see the removal of the B&M dive coaster that opened in 2008.

Construction of the new Zamperla Twister Coaster is underway at Kaleidoscope Park in Belgorod, Russia.

The ride is a clone of 2023's Wild Mouse at Cedar Point.

Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park has long been the mark of quality 😉

But this is probably not how you're supposed to build your new coaster.

Ignoring the issues on site, for anyone that knows their previous rides, this looks like a fairly big step up in ride design for MCC

The Pax 4D coaster at Balalyk Park in Kyrgyzstan is now testing.

Of all the things on my coaster bingo card for 2025, Pax reappearing and building a 4D coaster was not one of them.

Footage of the new indoor Jinma Super Spinning testing at Chocolate Kingdom in Qingyan, China.

There's a fair few of these out there now but think this is the first one to be built indoors. It appears to have replaced the parks previous crazy skateboard spinning coaster.

These photos from China show an interesting ride built by a Chinese aerospace research firm near Xi'an in the early 2010s. The exact purpose of the ride isn't known but it certainly looks like it wouldn't have been a pleasant ride.

The first new Pax coaster in a decade has appeared at Balalyk Park in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Its kind of like a Zac Spin had a baby with a boomerang and this is the weird result.

Here are some video stills of the under construction and nearly complete B&M junior inverted coaster at Legoland Shanghai.

I love finding something weird and this ticks all my boxes, This is the recently opened Roller Coaster at Gohar Park near Sirjan in Iran.

Featuring B&M style box track, a vertical loop and a watersplash, the ride was built by Iranian company Shadi Sazan Dornegan.

Some photos of the new Gerstlauer inverted coaster being installed at Parque Del Cafe in Colombia. Sitting right next to Krater the park's Eurofighter this will be the park's 4th coaster.

Track for a Chinese built looping coaster has arrived at Lunapark Volgograd in Russia. It would appear to be a standard model loopscrew.

Happy Valley Shenzhen in China has announced a swing launch coaster which will take the spot of the parks now defunct Vekoma SLC.

It is hard to tell from this image alone but based on the layout i suspect it will be a Jinma LSM ride.

The B&M Batman: The Ride clone at Wonderla Chennai in India has gone vertical.

This ride was previously located at Kuwait Entertainment City as Lightning.

It would appear Kaleidoscope Park in Belgorod, Russia will be adding a Zamperla spinning coaster in 2025, A clone of Wild Mouse at Cedar Point. This will be the park's first roller coaster.

Footers for the Intamin Hot Racer (Mahuka Clone) at Dream Island in Moscow have been poured.

No sign of the Vertical Coaster but footers for an unknown junior coaster can be seen too.

Quite how they are getting round sanctions here I have no idea, but it seems to be happening.
