Decepticoaster
The Decepticoaster (Chinese: 霸天虎过山车) is a launched roller coaster located at Universal Studios Beijing within the Universal Beijing Resort. The ride opened to the public on 20 September 2021, with the park.[1]
History
On 13 October 2014, Universal Parks & Resorts CEO Thomas L. Williams announced a deal to construct a Universal Studios park in Beijing, with the park's attractions yet to be announced.[2] In October 2020, Universal Parks & Resorts posted a video which detailed most of Universal Studios Beijing's attractions. The video confirmed the addition of the Decepticoaster, similar to The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure.[3] The roller coaster opened to the public on 20 September 2021 with the park.[4]
Ride experience
The train (the vehicle mode for an Autobot simply named Coaster) launches from 0 to 40 mph (0 to 64 km/h) in 2 seconds at an upward angle through the belly of a Decepticon Driller (a tunnel with special effects and lighting). The train then enters a zero-g roll and plunges down a 105-foot (32 m) drop, reaching its top speed of 67 mph (108 km/h), and then enters a cobra roll, followed by a vertical loop. The train then enters a small cave. Once exiting the cave, the train enters a corkscrew and another vertical loop before entering the mid-course brake run descending another hill into another corkscrew and a turn-around. The train then tilts sideways as the train enters a helix, which ends at the coaster's final brake run.[5][6]
