Fun Spot Action Park | White Lightning | GCI Wood

Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

First the big woodies now an out and back? GCI is really branching out now!

Hope this happens, looks like a fun coaster. Nice pacing, flow and some airtime.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

Looks fun! Like a downsized Prowler-Renegade hybrid. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

I guess due to the lack of space Fun Spot gave them GCI had to make it an Out and Back. This is definitely Anti-GCI as far as layout and elements go. I hope it lives up to its looks :O

Ha, yeah anti GCI in its purest form.
Lack of space would make a lot of sense for the reasoning, regardless I like it! And always good to diversify a bit.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

I don't see this anti-GCI thing you guys are all talking about. The amount of twists and directional changes in this ride make it a genuine GCI creation. And Prowler was a fantastic out and back.
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

Considering GCI tends to build banking into their hills it's very surprising of them to put in something that's only seen on Phoenix.

EDIT: I haven't been on Prowler yet, but the youtube vids sure look promising :D
 
Re: Fun Spot Orlando | White Lightning | GCI Wood

I've seen that element on more than just Phoenix, just for the record. And I echo Marcus. Prowler is fantastic.

I agree. Prowler packs a ton of punch into a small out-and-back layout. Renegade is similar. This looks like it combines elements of both.
 
I know there's been a lot of CFers in Orlando recently, anyone seen anything on this? We went past mid-september and there was nothing happening from what I could see.
 
Good news and bad news.

Bad news is this has been put back four months and is now due to open in June 2013. The good news is the Vekoma FLC has been brought forward and is now due to open June 2013 as well (as appose to summer 2014).

Just reminds me of a bunch of tramps/chavs standing around passing a bottle of cider between them (the name of the ride, not TPR* ).

Oh yeah, do a search for White Lightning and...

White Lightning sounds like a white-boy band ripoff of the Beastie Boys, and Furie's pic just doesn't help me denying the idea.

I don't understand what's with the seat cushions, it looks like they ran out of beige and had to use white a third of the way through.
