Parrot Coaster (formerly known as Flying Over the Rainforest) is a steel Wing Coaster at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, upon its opening in 2014, it became the first Wing Coaster in Asia and also features the first splashdown on a Wing Coaster. With a height of 164.1 feet (50.0 m), it is also the third tallest of its kind, behind Wild Eagle at Dollywood and GateKeeper at Cedar Point.[1] The roller coaster is the longest Wing Coaster in the world, at 4,192.9 feet (1,278.0 m) in length and reaching a top speed of 67.1 miles per hour (108.0 km/h).[1] The ride was named Flying Over the Rainforest for the first two months of it operating before being renamed at the end of March, 2014.[1]
