They didn't say RMC, but the blueprints look similar to the blueprints RMC gave SDC for Outlaw Run.

I'm glad SFGAm continues to add rides while keeping as much as they can. I'm so excited for this new woodie

I read that it will have a 39 inch height requirement so that 4 year olds could ride. I wouldn't be expecting the next Maverick, but this is what the park has been missing. A good 'family' coaster that even the little ones can ride.

I don't think they have to worry about the houses cause Iron Wolf made a really loud B&M 'roar' and the houses are more towards Superman/Dark Knight. I remember the park has sound complaints from V2 but the Village of Gurnee sided with the park. There's nothing to worry about.

That's happening in 2 days. August 21st. There is one person that plans on streaming it on USTREAM but I forget who.

SFGAm shouldn't have a problem building a ride that tall in that area of the park. It's right on the edge of the employee lot and they could easily expand the coaster there. I don't think Camp Cartoon is leaving because they recently renovated (painting, new fences) the area over the winter.

The article was deleted, did anyone screen cap it?

Those were both pranks made by roller coaster enthusiasts. I doubt this could be a prank done by an enthusiast, Daily Herald is a pretty big publication, especially in the Chicago area.

I thought the same thing, and I thought a GCI would be perfect for that particular plot! GCI's are great, but I think SFGAm is trying to break some records here and make the ride really stand out. Are there any GCI's that actually broke any sort of record though? They are great family woodies though! But I'm leaning towards RMC on this as they seem to be the 'it' company the past 2 years when it comes to this stuff.

Interesting article talking about the world's fastest wooden coaster coming to the park? http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130817/news/708179826/

Throwing out more speculation ...... RMC Woodie with 3 inversions (It'd be the only with 3, Outlaw Run's over bank apparently doesn't count) and the 3 Guinness files could represent the 3 inversions? (There were 3 papers visible in the Guinness folder when David took pictures of it)

Unless there is major downtime with the launch (if it's a Premier) then I can see it being delayed. But Great America is probably the best park in the chain with opening rides opening weekend or in the first week of park opening.

I rode River King Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis back in 2001. I was 6 at the time and it's still my favorite mine train!
