You know, politics of China aside this actually looks like a pretty solid brand, some new or tweaked ideas, reviving old rides, good clones, and while I don't know the specifics of their safety the rides at least look well built. If there's some big shift in how things operate in China and they can fully get away from the government there I wouldn't mind this company doing well and possibly having an international expansion. (Or at least a bigger one if they have a little bit already within Asia)

That's some astonishing optimism to think they'll "maintain US safety standards." This is the same country that looked at worker suicides via jumping from the roof and decided the best way to deal with it was to install nets around the factory buildings to catch them when they jump. Instead of, you know, treating the workers better or providing counseling/therapy. "As cheaply as possible" is the order of the day. It's just how they do things. This isn't meant as a dig against the Chinese -- just an honest assessment. Eschewing extra safety features in favor of cheaper construction costs and trusting people to be smart enough to avoid danger and perform adequate maintenance is a conscious choice they've made as a culture, and it seems to work for them. Hard to argue with results.

You hit it right on the nose with the Casino idea! The Rio casino in Las Vegas had a ride exactly like that one except with parade floats instead of balloons. Unfortunately it was removed in 2013 when the Rio started losing popularity, but there's some cool videos still online! I was just there a few weeks ago and all the tracks are still visible on the ceiling.

Even though they have a few knock off flat rides, I'm pretty impressed. This seems like a dedicated, innovative company whose rides are pretty interesting to learn about.

It's interesting that a company that does copycat rides also seems to do a lot of their own innovation. Some Chinese knockoff products are insanely derivative and very dangerous but this company shows the other side of loosening intellectual property laws. Thanks for highlighting the human rights situation in Xinjiang. The scariest thing about the camps there is how permanent they look. On the one hand, they're less visually disturbing than American child migrant detention cages, but they also represent a firm ideological commitment to completely eradicating the ethnic identity of Uyghur Muslims for the long term and on a gargantuan scale in a way that is at best a cultural genocide.

By "long gone" he meant that they're no longer being produced.

As far as Chinese knock off rides go nanfang do seem to be one of the best. I could see them one day breaking into the global market as a flat ride manufacturer since they have a good safety record and they’re rides look quality and well priced and most of the ride models they have copied have had changes made to them that could make them more reliable for parks

Not gonna lie, the hot ballon ride actually is really cool. Though it does look like it would be a bit tight for more than one ore two people at a time...

That ride in your post looked so cool, I hope to see it in your video.

I really enjoyed this video, lots of interesting information and great pacing in contrast to 'flat ride of the week'. No offense, but your partner with the bad microphone in that series just ruins it for me personally.
