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, it will be the first Wing Coaster in Asia and will also feature the first splashdown on an Wing Coaster when it opens in 2014. With a height of 164.1 feet (50.0 m), it will also the third tallest of its kind, behind Wild Eagle at Dollywood and GateKeeper at Cedar Point. The roller coaster is the longest and fastest 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). 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.
After being dispatched from the station, the train makes a left hand turn, entering the 164-foot (50 m) lift hill. Once at the top, the train drops back down and enters a diving loop. Next, the train makes a short left hand turn before making an upward right turn. The train then drops back down and goes through a artificial splashdown. Following a zero-gravity roll, the train then makes a banked left turn and an upward right turn leading into the mid-course brake run. After passing through the brake run, the train drops down into a tunnel (under a path). Upon exiting the tunnel, the train makes a left turn, followed by a right which leads directly into the last inversion, an inline twist. After making a right turn into a second tunnel, the train makes a left hand helix which leads into the final brake run.
