Chongqing Amusement Park

　　Chongqing Amusement Park was established in 1991 and was initially named the Science Popularization Center before being renamed in 2002. Situated at the south end of the Yangtze River Bridge in Nan’an District, Chongqing Amusement Park (formerly the Chongqing Youth Science and Culture Center) is a large-scale, modern amusement park integrating science education, scenic rides, and sightseeing with top-tier facilities. It features nearly 30 advanced amusement attractions, including a 50-meter-high Ferris wheel imported from Japan (offering panoramic views of the mountainous cityscape along both banks of the Yangtze), a 20-acre water slide complex with nine high slides, as well as a roller coaster, dry sledding, space shuttle simulator, pirate ship, and more... Known as the "Disneyland of the East and the No. 1 Park in Southwest China," the park is committed to providing top-quality services that bring joy to every visitor.

　　Since last year, the park has invested nearly 50 million yuan in upgrading its attractions, with a recent push into a large-scale renovation phase. For example, the “Ferris wheel” will be outfitted with brand-new gondolas, each costing about as much as the cheapest Changan Alto car. Many new thrilling rides will be added. After this renovation, only four of the original attractions will be retained, while 22 will be newly added or upgraded. Chongqing Amusement Park states that the new attractions are far more exciting than the old ones. Before renovation, the roller coaster had just one vertical loop (shaped like a “又” character); after the upgrade, it will feature two vertical loops plus two spiral loops—equivalent to flipping twice upside down and spiraling twice—making it the most thrilling ride in any amusement park in Southwest China, with an intensity “four times” greater than before.

　　Among the new, more thrilling attractions are the Extreme Windmill, Tornado Knight, Disco Carousel, and Spinning Coaster. The Spinning Coaster is a cart that slides along a track while also spinning on its own. The Tornado Knight is a tilting, spinning disk ride on a semi-circular track, while the Extreme Windmill features large arms lifting and rotating smaller carts on their tips.
