Crystal Wing, Steel roller coaster in Happy Valley Beijing, China
Crystal Wing is a steel flying roller coaster at Happy Valley Beijing, themed around the "Crystal City" of Atlantis, with rockwork around the track. Riders are raised into flying position in the station, then climb a 32-metre lift hill before a curved drop, a pretzel loop, a 270-degree helix and an inline twist into the brakes.
Crystal Wing opened at Happy Valley Beijing on 9 July 2006. Its track layout copies that of the Superman: Ultimate Flight flying coasters designed by Bolliger & Mabillard for several Six Flags parks, but here the course runs through mountain scenery rather than open space.
The ride follows an identical layout to several Superman-themed coasters found throughout Six Flags parks in the United States.
Riders should brace for intense G-forces during the rapid turns and inversions, especially through the airtime sections. It's helpful to secure loose items and familiarize yourself with safety restraints before boarding the ride.
