Top 10 most interesting roller coasters in China

There are more and more amusement parks around the country, but these amusement parks are no longer just for children. There are also more and more adult projects, such as jumping machines, roller coasters, roller coasters, pirate boats, etc. These exciting projects can only be played by adults. Because young people like to play heartbeat best, these highly exciting projects have become their favorite. So, today, Zhiding Xiaobian will give you an inventory of the more interesting roller coasters in China. Those who are interested and courageous can find opportunities to try!

Located in Shanghai Happy Valley, it was opened on August 16, 2009. With a total length of 969 meters, a height of 65 meters, and a maximum speed of 115km/h, it is the highest roller coaster in China and the highest vertical falling roller coaster in the world. The most distinctive feature is that it will complete an Immelmann flip at a speed of 115km/h, and you will instantly enter a weightless state, like floating in the universe.

Fireball, also known as Fireball, is located in Shanghai Happy Valley. It was opened on August 16, 2009. It is 1200 meters long, 33 meters high, and 90 km/h. It uses the world's oldest form of roller coaster: wooden roller coaster. Its main material is southern pine wood of the United States. It is the first wooden roller coaster in China. It is built along the lake, winding like a giant dragon. It is the most popular program in the park.

Carlos Jared discovered the first known venomous frog by accident. And it took him a long time to connect his pain with tree frogs that head-butted his hand.

Accidents are how most venomous animals first come to scientific notice, Brodie says. Early in his career, he discovered details of fire salamander venom by tickling a new specimen with a piece of grass. He was showing students how toxins ooze from its skin and “it sprayed me right in the eye,” he says. “I was immediately blinded.”

“I ran to the sink and ran water in my eye for about 20 minutes,” he says. “The toxin isn’t water soluble, so it didn’t help much. It was extraordinarily painful,” he notes in mild tones. Also, “the first time you observe something like that, you’re not sure it’s temporary blindness.” It was.

Venomous amphibians may be more common than people expect, Brodie says. Now that the researchers know about bone points for venom delivery, they want to investigate some salamanders with ribs that punch through the skin. And at least three more frogs grow suspicious spines around their heads. “It’s not Kermit anymore,” he says.

Editor’s Note: This story was updated on August 13, 2015, to clarify the habitat differences between the two venomous frogs.

Jared, now at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, got his first hint of true venom when collecting yellow-skinned frogs (Corythomantis greeningi) among cacti and scrubby trees in Brazil’s dry Caatinga region. For hours after grabbing the frogs, intense pain radiated up his arm for no obvious reason.

He knew frogs have no fangs to deliver toxin. Many frog species can poison an animal that touches them, but they’re poisonous. True venomous animals actively deliver toxins.

Jared realized head-butting delivers venom only when he saw the frogs’ upper lips under a microscope. Bone spikes erupted near venom glands that looked “giant,” he says. As a frog’s lips curl back, glands dribble toxins onto spikes sticking out from the skull and the frog pokes them against foes.

Located in Shanghai Happy Valley, it was opened on August 16, 2009, also known as Mega Lite roller coaster. It is 755 meters long, 32 meters high, and 90 kilometers per hour. High speed flying will give you a wonderful feeling of flying, and there will be a jump like a hare in the running process, which will give you a feeling of shooting.

Gram for gram, the frog venom is almost twice as dangerous to mammals as typical venom of the feared Bothrops pit vipers, Jared, Edmund Brodie Jr. of Utah State University in Logan and their colleagues report online August 6 in Current Biology.

The researchers also report a second spiky-skulled venomous frog, Aparasphenodon brunoi, which is a forest species not very closely related to yellow-skinned frogs. It head-butts toxins 25 times as powerful as typical pit viper venom, a phenomenon luckily not discovered by handling.

Located in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China Dinosaur Park, it was opened on April 29, 2012. This is a roller coaster with high scientific and technological content. It is completely different from the previous roller coasters. Its seats are suspended on both sides of the main carriage and can be turned over independently. When the main carriage turns over with the track, it will give you a three-dimensional riding experience.
