Martin & Vleminckx, a leader in the design, manufacture, fabrication, and installation of thrilling attractions, is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the wooden roller coaster, the Jungle Trailblazer Nanning.
The coaster is in Fantawild Asian Legend Park in Nanning, China. The park has 10 areas which are themed on the member countries of ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and so offers a rich cultural experience. Fantawild Asian Legend is one of six new parks that Fantawild Holdings Inc. has opened since 2018, with a total of 26 parks in the company’s portfolio.
The Jungle Trailblazer Nanning was built by Martin & Vleminckx, and is 33 meters at its highest point, with a total length of 972 meters. The compact twister coaster was designed by The Gravity Group and includes a back-to-back “Sidekick” element, a 90-degree horseshoe turn, two 90-degree banked sections, and 13 airtime moments with top speeds of up to 54mph.
