Chad and I recently ventured to China to visit the construction site of our latest wooden coaster design.  The ride is part of a brand new amusement park that is being built near Shanghai.  Here’s a picture that was taken shortly after the first bents were hoisted into position.

pictured l-r: Korey Kiepert, Alain Vleminckx, Chad Miller, and Paul Voyer stand with the first three bents.

The ride is being built by Martin & Vleminckx.  Paul is the project manager for M&V.  It was pretty exciting to be to see the structure go vertical.  I’ll post more about our trip to China soon.
