  • In the last 3 years we have seen several Chinese ride manufacturers attempt to break into the western market. This supercut video will showcase the main players in this area, Jinma Rides, Noble Rides, and SBL. All of these manufacturers have recently shown off their products at the IAAPA expo in Orlando, with varying levels of success.

    Jinma Rides “continue to grow and be a threat to western ride developers all while being constantly accused of intellectual property theft.” When you don’t have to spend your money on R&D or worry about having original ideas, you put all of your money into construction and expansion.

    It's worth noting that the newest and most up to date concept art and site plans of the new Missouri park no longer feature any Jinma coasters, but instead features two off-the-shelf Vekomas, a family boomerang and family suspended coaster. It seems that Jinma's American debut may have to wait a little longer.

    No matter how appealing the attractions may seem to parks in the west, I still genuinely hope Jinma never makes a presence, with them shamelessly and blatantly trying to steal ideas from B&M at IAAPA even in 2023, they really have not changed their ways at all and should be shown no respect whatsoever for doing so. They are a stain on the industry and are really proving that they will never be willing to change their old ways.

My comment was mostly directed at Americans who will go on American made carnival flat rides with pre-slowing allowed, operators knowingly hiding damage from inspectors (ie set up the ride overnight as the inspector sleeps), and more focus on up time because ticketed rides (ie safety jumpered out so ride can operate). Anyone in America who refuses to go on chineese rides is being, let's just say selective.

    Wow! Such a comprehensive and excellent video on Chinese and other coaster and other ride manufacturers! You are to be highly commended! 👍
    I thought about a number of broad concept things as I watched this video, which, for me, is a flashpoint of current US-China relations. First, the Chinese ride manufacturing industry could help China pull out of its economic slump, by both exporting this product to other countries as well as collaborative work with other country ride manufacturers, when their knowledge is combined. Imagine the possibilities!
    Secondly, I could foresee an improvement in our currently somewhat strained relations with China, if both countries could work together, on producing enjoyable rides for everyone.
    Thirdly, perhaps China would see the benefits of capitalism from such joint ventures, and gradually shift their political structure from its rigid Communist state, benefitting everyone.
    Another advantage of such joint ventures might help thaw current Cold War-like relations between the two countries, fostering more of a beneficial relationship to all mankind.
    Personally, I would very much like to see the US import more foreign amusement rides to give a shot in the arm to our somewhat ordinary domestic US amusement ride industry. I’ve expressed a desire on other You Tube channels for the U.S. to obtain other European rides not currently available here stateside.
    An overarching tenet of such collaboration would have to be ride safety, first and foremost. With both this and friendly collaborative work between countries, I feel this could be a win-win situation for all countries involved.

    It's nice to see someone start by copying, but realize that making their own stuff is the better way forward. And I agree with you, better to have your stuff known to everyone, but just make the best version of that possible, and continually try to improve it to keep your usual customers coming back instead of just resting on your laurels

    The people in the comments going "I would _never_ ride a roller coaster made in China" confuse me. I don't want to call it xenophobia but it's at least the "made in China" meme being overplayed (+ culture war nonsense)
    If you're going to a theme park in the US or Europe, all their rides - Chinese or otherwise - are going to be vetted, inspected, and maintained by the same people whom you (hopefully) already trust to keep your theme park experience safe
    (it would probably also surprise some of these people to learn how many engineers/designers at B&M, Intamin, etc. are Chinese nationals with degrees from Chinese engineering schools)

    • @MechaNintendoMast

      If you think reservations are down to culture war matters, I'm sorry. I think it's quite a bit more complex than the 'stop noticing things chud' meme. Our own rides are sometimes not inspected, so would I have high hopes from rides coming from a location where unfortunately corruption is commonplace?

Jinma I trust without question, I even think their dive coasters are likely better than B&M's. As for their Chineese compeditors, it's up in the air but I trust their permenant rides a lot more than "we do pre-slowing when people will be on the rides/we will construct rides overnight to hide innerworkings from inspectors/our rides aren't bolted to a foundation designed to handle their weight" setup of traveling carnivals in the US. Don't prove the racism point the BSL guys were making with such sentiment.
