Oh yes the Gravity Group goodness

 

This ride (as with all GG's) I am quite sure will be amazing!

 

By taking a look at Bullet's older brothers (Voyage and Hades) this ride is going to be amazing!

 

I will be following the construction for this ride very closely.

 

Thanks for the great photo's coasterphoto they are appreciated.

I havent been this excited about a coaster here in texas eva. when the titan opened at SFOT, i wasnt that excited because i had already ridden the goliath. i live 40 minutes from KEMAH and i think that I will be adding a lot of miles on my car this summer. I just hope that it runs daily and not over $5.00 per ride. If it is i will be dippping into my 401K. I was a big fan of height, but these woodies nowadays have so many elements, banked turns and airtime that height isnt as important to me.

Maybe one day we'll see the sun here in the Houston area again...but for now here are some more cloudy Boardwalk Bullet photos.

A different angle showing all the land clearing that has taken place (this used to be a parking lot and a small grassy area)

This really makes me want to get my job back as a crane operator!

This should certainly be on your "must do" 2007 coaster list!

Here is what a roller coaster construction would look like.....if you were in prison! :D

They've got quite a few people putting this one together.

This is photographic proof that yes....yes they are building a wooden roller coaster!

^ If i pay by credit card for that pile of dirt, will they through in some Screws as well? What if i pay withing the next 10 minutes, can i get it for $19.95?

 

 

Anyway, its looking a little better then i previously assumed. But whereabouts is the Boardwalk in this place? Looks like Rural Texas from the photos I've seen!

^You need to work on customizing your Gallery2.

 

This may have been mentioned already but are they beefing up the supports because of hurricanes? It just looks really dense.

Yeah...someday...don't have the time for my site like I did a few years back.

 

I haven't heard anything official about extra support because of the hurricane threat but I'm sure it'll be asked this weekend at the ACE Winterfest event in Galveston. If it isn't asked, I'll make sure to ask it myself! We should be having guests from Kemah come talk about the new ride.
