The story of Golden Wings in Snowfield
Golden Wings in Snowfield arrived with Happy Valley Beijing’s first great collection of attractions in 2006. Vekoma records the coaster under that year and names Happy Valley Beijing as its park. vekoma.com· bj.happyvalley.cn
The design is a Shenlin w/Helix, a distinct Vekoma arrangement in which the train hangs beneath the rail. Coasterpedia identifies it as the first of only two examples of this pattern built by the manufacturer. coasterpedia.net
Visitors pass through a vertical loop, a cobra roll and a zero-g roll, with four inversions completing the course. Contemporary descriptions of the Beijing park noted the ride’s dangling seats as one of its distinguishing features. coasterpedia.net· english.visitbeijing.com.cn
The coaster continues to serve visitors at Happy Valley Beijing, where its Vekoma structure remains part of the park’s established skyline of major rides. coasterpedia.net· vekoma.com
