^they just made 2 pages for the same one accidentally.

No, look at the dates the rides opened. One is almost complete, the other is being built for 2009. They are two completely different coasters. There's more than one Happy Valley. By the way, those four coasters are all clones; they're EXACTLY the same.

Excellent job with this so far. It's nice to come back after a while and see such great coasters being put out by the community. Keep it up.

And 5900th post. How'd that happen?

but how does... happy valley have... 2 megalites?!?!?!?!?!

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Talk about a coincidence...two of only four rare coaster clones and going in 2 different parks in China with the same name at the same time. WOW.

EDIT: V Oh, so they're a chain. No wonder. But naming them both Happy Valley? Boring...
EDIT#2: VV I meant that they named both the parks in the same chain Happy Valley.

^It's no coincidence. Is it a coincidence that Six Flags bought three Dark Knight coasters for the same year? It's what these chains do; they buy a few models of the same coaster and stick them into their parks.

So, back to the coaster...

If you guys click on the links for both Happy Valleys, you will see that they are two different parks. Here's all of them:

One in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and Sheshan.

Thanks for the comments, and to those that helped with the Mega Lite questions.

The reason for so many Kawasemi comparisons is that there are more available angles of the elements on Kawasemi that I have pictures of. I chose to recreate Pirate though, because of the opportunity to give it some scenery that Kawasemi wouldn't have. Piraten comparisons will come with the second half of the ride, from the real rides construction pictures.

Anyway, here's the completed first and second buckel. Up next will be another buckel, slightly bigger than the second one (smallest). I'll get a video update most likely after the next buckel, to show the amount of speed left for the final bunny hops to the brake run.

Onto the pictures,

Could you get an overview picture? Those buckles are really nice, It looks ace to me dude.

[MP thrill rides]

Is there such a thing as to good? *Stands up and claps* this thing is cool!

[CuteLittleBunny23]

Wow thoose buckles look really good. The only thing is, when I came to your house on Sunday, I was worried about the speed you have left. Is the speed better with these buckels than the one before?

[Coaster55]

For those that haven't seen it, the real update is on page 2.

^^ Thanks!

^ I did a little more supporting, so it should have enough speed.

Here's those overview pictures. I can try to find some better overviews with the next update.

[Renegade]

Gold. Love it.

[Loop De Loop]

Wow this is looking great by the way are you going to finish it t his coming weekend? Also are you going to have the transfer track next to the station?

So far so good!

[spousl16]

This coaster is top model material. I can't pick out a single flaw. Great job!

[the_burrito_master]

Looks wonderful! spot on! every thing looks perfect. the only single flaw I can see is that that turn is a little to small.

[SwimZONE]

this is turning o ut really nicely

[coastermaniac]

^^The scale of k'nex can sometime distort the shape of the elements to keep the coaster evenly proportioned (sp?). Maybe he had to do this...

Looks great man, keep fast updates please.

[crazywhizz100]

looks good
