I can confirm it’s a fantastic ride. The speed is very constant and the ride lasts forever. I loved the two stage first drop and the turnaround in the tunnel. Highly recommended ride!
This is my #1 wood coaster. The park is really difficult to get to (our taxi driver never heard of Knight Valley and had to place several calls to find out where it is) and the entire park is built in the mountainside so it was a steep walk to get to it but this coaster is truly amazing. After the lift hill it is non stop speed and elements and it feels like it is continually picking up speed... Mostly due to the terrain. If anyone ever gets a chance to go to Shenzhen China look for his coaster as it is amazing.
I've been loving and admiring this seemingly-endless WOOD COASTER since Rob Alvey covered it on his Theme Park Review a few years ago. You haven't lived until you've seen his POV back-seat footage of this monster. As he comments throughout the ride, "It just doesn't let up!" And it doesn't! This GCI masterpiece hauls ass from start to finish! Without having actually ridden, I'm nominating this thriller as my vote for the world's best #1 woodie!
I love that you compared this to Excalibur! I grew up on that coaster, and that's exactly what I was thinking....even the remoteness of the where it is in the park!
A couple of coaster hobbyist friends I know have ridden Wood Coaster. Both, like me, have been on most of America's GCIs and most US wood coasters dating back to the early 80s (yeah-we're old, 50s-60s). Both friends say it's the best GCI without compare. I am planning a possible China trip next year. This is one of the most beautiful coasters I've ever seen, and the swooping turnaround looks magnificent! Thanks for this great video!
The two best CGI coasters are in China: this and Python in Bamboo Forest. After that would be Ghostrider (if you count it as a CGI which re-tracked it and gave it Millennium Flyer trains, but it was originally a CCI )
My man! Ain’t even watched the video yet and I’m already pumped lol. Thanks for taking on the recommendation. You can never go wrong when digging into China for coaster content. 😌 My sir, you’ve earned your subscription. Edit: _great_ thumbnail btw
Its a "not likely" from me. Not the biggest fan if GCIs, as they seem to concentrate pretty much on banked turns (often forceless other than uncomfortable laterals) as this ride looks to do. They also can get rough as hell very quickly, which make the turns unvearable. The speed of this looks impressive, but you really need to keep up with track maintenance to keep it smooth an rideable. But the layout is impressive.

Wooden coasters are my favorite! This looks thrilling & exciting! Awesome location (side of a mountain!), awesome scenery.
WOW I probably won't ever get to ride this, but it looks amazing! I wasn't even aware it exists. The layout and surroundings look stunning.

This thing looks amazing, and i love wood and terrain coasters. Definitely top 10 layout, and if i get the chance ill go check it out.
Easily looks like one of the best wooden coasters in the world
It would have been great to see the entire POV!

I agree, this coaster looks CRAZY! Glad you liked it, you’ll have to keep me updated on when you get to ride it 😝
This does look like the best wooden coaster in the world. It’s high on my bucket list and I’d love to ride it in the future!
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
Great video! Looks like a great coaster!
looks awesome, definitely put this on my bucket list!
Wow this look so fun
Love your coverage on these elite hidden coasters on the other side of the world. Keep it up 🥃
Thanks!
This always looked amazing.
This thing looks insane
I know the guys at GCI. They do nothing but TOP NOTCH work! I soooo want to ride this one!

This looks sickkk.

Awesome! Thanks man! 🤟
RMC will throw a party with this one
Been adoring these videos exploring uncommon coasters!
I’m glad! Thanks for the support! 👍
This GCI looks like literal heaven I really want something like this here in America
Parts of it remind me of the Colossus at Magic Mountain! That reminds me, do you have any videos on the Colossus?
I do! Footage from my Dad!
Literally can call this “The Great Wall of China Coaster” lmao
How about doing a video or 2 on ferris wheels.
Imagine this being RMC'D
Im predicting the next one will be about Eagle Fortress
Interesting...
GCI Balderdash?
Great video
Thank you!
Flying through the clouds
It looks relentless, like there's little break in the action. I mean that in a good way.

That coaster look's huge
i feel like since its a jeff pike designed GCI, it’s gotta look better than it rides :(
looks like TPR footage here. would ride!
Why do people put their arms in the air? Looks like they're trying to slow it down.
Anyone else noticed how similar that Chinese guy looks to winnie the pooh?
I wouldn’t ride google tofu dreg...Chinese make things too quick too cheap
“Wood Coaster”? What a stupid name.
The Chinese name on the sign for the ride says Mountain Flyer but the English name says Wood Coaster and most people just call it that
@@MrCollerRoaster Mountain Flyer is a sexier name
How Bout Riding it at Night.
Having fun is banned in china. You loose social credit score for going here
B I G
fast
I would never ride a coaster built by or located in China.
