Can't seem to find the topic in News & Rumours, so....

Anyway, a video of the new Wooden coaster at Fun Spot has been uploaded to YouTube:

Clearly its not going to be mind blowing, but it looks like good fun none the less!

Miss out on this little baby this year </3
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

Those airtime hills on the way back look epic actually.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

That does look really fun and long for a small place like Fun Spot.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

GCI hybrid coaster? Never seen one of those before.

Also, might be the angles shown in the video, but the shape of that lift seems a little... wonky. Anybody have any explanation?
Other than that, though: Looks great!
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

They're expecting this to be open in February 2013, but the Invert isn't going to open until Summer 2014!
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

What a fun little "Great coaster", certainly quite fun and will suit Fun spots target market very well!

Looks good fun. :)
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

The turnaround in that picture looks different to the one in the video. It's pretty highly banked at the entry as well, that'd be a load of fun if it is built like that.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

That's the exit, it enters from the double up & double down according to the image.

"Ariel Dive" - I can't help but think it's meant to say "Aerial". If not, my OCD is kicking me.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

After looking closely at the many different angles shown on TPR, I guarantee that you're gonna be tossed around in all different directions, especially on the run out.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

Right now I'm confused as some of the comments on here conflict with the video although the video was obviously preliminary. The double up double down is definitely after the turnaround in the vid, questionable in the picture posted here. Regardless, I really like these fun little woodies going into small parks lately. Most of them seem like they pack a punch and I think this one will definitely have a few thrilling points.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | Unknown | GCI Wood

^ In the video, yes, it's before, in the Official layout pictures, it's afterwards;

Now, the question is... "Is CF busted and posting things in random places, or is rollermonkey?" ;) :lol:
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

Ummm....this seems more of something from GG than GCI.....so Iz confuzzeled.

Im glad to see GCI taking (what I deem) a risky manouver (this eord is spelled wrong, but I can seem to see where at ><) on their end.

I'm confused at how this disputes my comment?
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

It's not really.. you just can't spell. ;)



LOVE the double up and down. Two of my favorite elements.. and if they are anything like BD.. they will SEX YOUR FACE with awesome.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

It's not disputing, much, you said the highly banked section bit was the entry of the element, it's not, it's the exit of the element, that's all I was saying.
