Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread

I've seen shorter (always thought Tennessee Tornado was too short). I think this looks great and will be a great addition to the park. It's a great wooden coaster for them. It has some really great elements. Will this be the steepest drop on any wooden coaster?

[JJLehto]

I was a bit let down by the length (or lack of) but it should more than make up for it in intensity.

Layout is short but wicked, and I hear speed is 68 mph?

 

Also it's cool RMC is starting pedal to the metal. I mean SoB that single, all steel, loop but a double barrel roll??

Crazy

Yes it will be.

TT is too short, it's an amazing coaster and it's so smooth that when it ends it leaves thinking "that was it?" It's still great though.

 

My only disappointment is that after the first drop it really has no more height, overall this coaster is looking amazing.

[Shavethewhales]

^There's still going to be a bit of height. The concept artwork is pretty deceptive since it makes it appear as if it is on level ground. In reality this ride is actually somewhat fitted to the terrain. Some of those drops are going to be a little bigger than they look, I think. There should be a good bit of airtime on this, so I'm happy.

[brock_boehm]

Just looked over the layout again. This ride should be really thrilling, especially if it only has lap restraints. The first drop looks amazing.

 

What is a double down?

After finally seeing the layout, this coaster has me excited big times!

It might be a bit short, but after riding lots of short Intamin launch coasters, I doubt it will any problem at all.

 

Huge win for SDC!

For those looking for it...

That picture is going away in 3 2 1...

[theonetheonlyJT]

^^Better delete that fast.

[Invertalon]

Deleted, sorry about that. I did not read through all the previous stuff and did not know it was banned/forbidden from being posted.

[Angry_Gumball]

I looked for the photo earlier and found successfully, but only keeping it for personal use, not going to share all over Facebook/TPR/else where. Honestly, I felt (and still) feel awkward about sharing the proposed GCI coaster on the CGA Facebook.

 

The image is however going around Facebook now as I just effortlessly came across the layout once again.

 

About the coaster, it looks like a short but sweet coaster! Definitely does not look too scale though, looks huge! Don't know if it's because of the fact that the supports look like they're much closer in. Loving the finale double roll, and the exit coming off that second roll.

[Real]

It looks like the layout was made with NoLimits actually...

 

So if they exported the CAD data like Gravity Group has done, it should be to scale and should be accurate come video time.

[Brassinthegrass]

I have a hard time believing that pic... could it be a possible wrong trail for us to look at?

[gforce1994]

When will the true layout be released?

It would probably be best if any images of the leaked layout does not get posted on this forum. Everyone will find out in 10 days so you guys don't have too much longer to wait!

 

So, if you were able to get a screenshot, please refrain from posting it. Thanks!

No? The ride's got two (or three) inversions. Start believing.

Mock Up

Quite a few big mistakes in there.

[ernierocker]

It's time for a friendly reminder not to post any images pertaining to the layout of the new coaster. As the park did not intend for this information to be publically released, we will not allow them to be posted in the forum. There are plenty of places where you can see the layout on the internet, plus this information will be released to the public in just a few short days.

 

Thanks guys for your cooperation!

What is a double down?

 

 

[cfc]

KFC totally needs to sponsor this new ride.

[chadster]

^Please don't give them any ideas

[Guy T. Koepp]

Imagine someone trying to stuff that in your pie hole as you hit the breaks!

[cfc]

^Or eating it while riding on the double-down element itself--"doubling down on the double down."

[televisedconfession]

^Someone needs to make that happen!
