While there is still no sign of the Intamin Looper’s arrival at LocaJoy holiday in China a number of other rides are now up and testing.

Adlabs Imagica Opens & Nitro Layout Revealed.
Posted by on April 18, 2013
Indians first world class park Adlabs Imagica has opened outside of Mumbai. The park has been covered a fair amount on here and features a nice collection of rides including a Zamperla mine train and Premier launched coaster. The B&M Floorless named Nitro has not opened with the park but it appears track is on site so I assume opening will be later this year. There is a virtual image of Nitro below which confirms it will be a near clone of Batman The Dark Knight over at Six Flags New England just with an extra helix at the end.
Below are a selection of pictures from the opening.
