The story of Fireball
Fireball opened with Happy Valley Shanghai in August 2009 and was presented as China’s first modern wooden roller coaster. coasterpedia.net· mvrides.com
The Gravity Group designed and engineered the ride, while Martin & Vleminckx manufactured it and oversaw its construction. Together, they brought a traditional wooden form to one of Shanghai’s newest amusement parks. mvrides.com· parkworld-online.com
From the park entrance, Fireball stood plainly in view and formed a handsome backdrop to the lake. Park World reported that the coaster became the signature ride of the new park, chosen to offer visitors something large, international, and recognisably classic. parkworld-online.com
