Sprawling amusement park of record-chasing steel coasters and a giant panda habitat next door.
This guide to Chimelong Paradise in Guangzhou traces the life of its Ten Inversion Roller Coaster, a ride copied bolt for bolt in 2006 from record-setting engineer Werner Stengel's Colossus at England's Thorpe Park. It follows the two rides' odd twinship as tied holders of the world's most-inverting coaster, the record that slipped away to England's own Smiler in 2013, and riders' memories of a cramped, rattling ride that kept running long after it stopped setting any records.
