Re: California's Great America | "Unknown" | GCI Wood?
^I agree.
After the first two large turnarounds it seems GCI simply put in some filler before the brake run. I LOVE the drop and the first few elements (especially that speed hill), but it doesn't excuse the lack of force that I'm pretty sure will plague this coaster in the second half. Or at least a lack of neg-g moments.
Now, of course, this is a simple rendering, so I shouldn't be able to voice these opinions.
For 108 ft. tall, this looks very impressive. I am glad that this coaster could finally see the light of day after being hung up in 49er stadium negotiations for so long.
Heh, looks OK. Doesn't look like it's going to be the best ride out there, but looks like it'll be good fun and decent ride (like most of these GCI woodies I think).
What's not to love about a GCI woodie? And glad they are still getting built.
No knock on the Intamin beasts or RMC monsters but the traditional woodie still lives!
^That's a bit sad.. I would love for another park to invest in a prefab. They're awesome coasters and the GP loves them as well. It might not be a given chioce at the drawing desk but irl they're great rides!
I don't know what to say of Gold Striker. I used to love GCI. The two I had been on in Europe where both great, in fact Troy is excellent and world class!! But there was only one decent on my US trip. Ok Lightning Racer is a really solid ride but both Wildcat and Roar where horrible, rough and had uninspired layouts.. GCI seems like they're hit or miss really!
