The 90-degree banked turn and multiple airtime hills ensure a thrilling ride in a compact space, leaving riders in awe.
And now, for the game-changer: Jungle Trailblazer at Fantawild Ningbo Oriental Heritage. This fan-favorite coaster introduces a world-first barrel roll element on a wooden track, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. With its 90-degree banking turn and 13 airtime moments, it blends traditional excitement with modern engineering, leaving riders with unforgettable memories.
