I thought that chick looked familiar...
I watched every episode of Wipeout!

Nice. Haven't seen a good Animal/Theme park pulled off in while.
Im really diggin those colors!
-
It seems like a park that is trying its best to be a good park.
I mean that lady walkthrough and the spiral coaster additions have made it seem more than a permanent carnival...

While I agree with the closing for six months, I just dont think I could have happened.
People plan for months and even years in advance for a trip to Disneyland. And they want what they pay for (ie. Two parks).
Disney was not about to shut down the park for rehab. I don't think they want a "Walley World" experience for their guests
"Walley World" Experience

Also, 2112 is one of my favorite Rush songs.
Anyway on the topic of the Parking lot, I think the sign should say "Bienvenidos" instead of "Welcome To",
Just some of those little things that make a park really stand out
-
I think HRP/FMP deserves this...
A fair representation of this park's status

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Sorry, Im a proud owner...
Do you like Rush?

I just cant see anything but a B&M go in at BG.
Unless B&M came up with something revolutionary (For example Breaking 300 ft, or a Hyper Looper with Clam Shell restraints), make me wonder if it will be just another Hyper like Itimidator or Apollo's Chariot.
If it is Intamin, then it should be an Accelerator, one that would best Maverick...
But I really want that Hyper Looper....

Found this site about the old PTL Heritage USA park that Tammy and Jim Bakker, until the IRS cracked down on their tax exemption.
Their wiki page also has a history of the park.
Pretty creepy

I guess I was kinda right.
But still, great nonetheless, Its always good to see GCI putting in a new coaster... especially that incorporates the terrain as a main feature!
-
^ Really? Having been to almost all of the major China parks I can't think of any of them that aren't almost totally flat.
Well looking at the pics of some china parks and the possibilities of future ones that have hilly terrain. Overall, the place is quite hilly...
I'd like to know what pictures you are looking at? What parks?
Im not saying any current parks, Im saying about parks that have yet to be announced, somewhere in the Beijing area if I remember correctly from the Olympics, that was quite hilly in some places. This could be concept art for a future park...
-
I sure hope its gonna be a hit.
4D has some major potential, and could be the next big hit.
Its about time people start taking S&S serious about its coasters.
But it could also be the thing (which I think it will turn out to be) to be an elite coaster, like the B&M dive machine.
If this is a hit, we could probably see an east coast counterpart within 5 years

A music video for a band from Atlanta, Drivin' N' Cryin' (One of my favorites) Was filmed in 1991 at Six Flags over Georgia!

^^^^ From what I have gathered over the years is that the twisty, airtime filled coasters of today were sparked by a little park putting in a great ride at a cheap(er) price.
Think how many wooden coasters that you ride and love today were made after 1995/1996. CCI is responsible (in my opinion) for the wooden coaster renaissance of sorts. CCI and GCI have built a plethora of good quality wooden coasters for the past 10-15 years, even sparking Intamin and S&S to get into the Wooden Coaster Business as well. I dont think Son Of Beast would have been built, if it was not for this renewal of wooden coasters.
CCI had only built 7 coasters before they built the Raven, then parks started to take notice, and soon many small parks started building these new wooden coasters (Michigan's Adventure & Lake Compounce come to mind). And GCI would not even exist. Or Gravity Group.
I just think that if it were not for the Raven's success, I would have never heard of Holiday World, Michigan's Adventure, Lake Compounce, Mt. Olympus, Waldameer Park. Nor do I think there would be El Toro, Thunderhead, Shivering Timbers, Boulder Dash, Balder, The Voyage, Hades, or ,yes, even Prowler!
But this is my own opinion...

To bad you didnt ride Mr. Freeze
Sorry I couldn't resist,
But I am jealous that you met the Shapiro himself.
Did he mention anything bout tilt-a-whirlls?

Wishful thinking...Ghost Town in the Sky!Thats really wishful thinking
But that would be quite nice, a major coaster like this could save the park, for comparison The Raven at Holiday World.
Think about it, would you have even heard of Holiday World if it was not for The Raven.
Heck I dont think we would even be discussing GCI's future plans if it were not for The Raven...

From what i have seen, I will put my money on the China hint. It seems like some of the topography over there is a lot more compatible than most of the parks I can currently think of...
But whats the land like at The Great Escape... hmmm

Circumstances- Rush

Hate it when the girl you like already knows youre gonna ask her to prom due to her ex boyfriend finds out that you are asking her to prom and starts spreading it like wildfire, a week before you even ask her!!!!!!!
I dont know how this is gonna end...
-
Hehe I know where its going
O RLY?
Just fooling you
Any way I think it may go to a non-chain park in the northeast. Just where though...

Terrain+GCI= one of the best we may see form them...
