I split this out as best as I could and renamed this first post.  China is also adding another 4D coaster http://www.screamscape.com/html/industry_news.htm#SSPower

I'm more interested in the GCI.

Nevermind Went to GCI's webpage and found it!

The first drop is going to be awesome. The layout toward the end of the ride has already changed a bit and will be much better than what the renderings show. It's hard to tell scale from the photos and even the renderings, but to give an idea, each "step" in the terrain in the renderings is 1m (3.28 ft).

I wonder what the top speed is at the bottom of the terrain drop?

Haha, thank you. There were plenty of other people involved, though.
