Crystal Wing (Chinese: 水晶之翼) is a flying roller coaster at Happy Valley in Beijing, China. The ride opened on 9 July 2006. The layout of this coaster is identical to the Superman: Ultimate Flight flying roller coasters designed by Bolliger & Mabillard located at several Six Flags parks.[1] However, unlike the Superman coasters at several Six Flags parks, it goes through mountain scenery instead of an open space.

Theme

The ride is themed around the "Crystal City", which was a sacred place in Atlantis, the location of this ride[2]. Due to this theme, there is copious amounts of rockwork that obscures the ride's path through its course.

Ride

Riders start by being raised into the flying position in the station, before going into a right-hand turn onto the lift hill. After the 32 meter lift, riders traverse a small straight drop before going into a curved drop to the right. After the drop, riders rise into a pretzel loop element and a left-hand dropping turn before a right-hand rising turn. Then, it goes through a series of left- and right-hand turns before a 270° helix and an inline twist into the brakes[3].
