【Industry News】 VinWonders Nha Trang Debuts Southeast Asia’s First 90° Tilt Coaster

 

Vietnam’s leading theme park destination,VinWonders Nha Trang, officially launched its new flagship attraction,Thunder Flip, on July 10, 2026. As the region’s first highly recognizable 90° cliffhanger tilt coaster, the ride suspends riders nearly horizontal over a simulated cliff edge, paired with a slow crawl up the lift hill that creates an optical illusion of a broken track — delivering a visceral sense of suspense and unmatched weightlessness.

 

On-site validation fromPham Duc Anh, Founder of prominent Vietnamese travel experience team Vivu Nha Trang, confirms the ride strikes an optimal balance between thrill factor and operational safety, making it an ideal fit for visitors seeking high-adrenaline experiences.

 

This launch signals a clear pivot in Southeast Asia’s theme park sector: the industry is shifting away from pure scale expansion toward prioritizing“social-media-friendly”​  signature attractions and hyper-immersive experiences. High-altitude, high-speed, and deeply interactive large-scale rides have become core traffic drivers  to attract younger demographics and extend guest dwell time — pointing to a sustained surge in demand for advanced amusement equipment across the ASEAN region .

 

As the core B2B platform for Southeast Asia’s amusement sector,TAAPE 2026​ focuses on immersive tech, high-thrill attractions, and family-oriented solutions, facilitating targeted partnerships to capture emerging regional opportunities.
