atem122 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Wow that looks much taller than it did before from that angle, TGG can just make any style of woodie
Rocket Rodder Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Â Â Wow, it's... beautiful! It's all on the water and everything. Everything I love about a theme park. Beauty AND a beast.
supertrooper Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 This looks amazing. I sent in my deposit for the Shanghai trip last week.
Black Cat Ent Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I don't know what's more frightening "the swine" or wooden coasters in china?!?! haha  Looks Great! Might be worth a trip to check out.  I am very curious to know if the bottom of that lake is concrete like chengdu, also how deep the water is.
CoasterCard Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Gravity Group just announced that Fireball has just made its inaugural run. Hopefully we will get to see a video soon.
Nosferatu Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 A few pictures of fireball: http://thegravitygroup.com/gravitycast/lets-roll/ Â Also if you look in the background here you'll see that the dive machine seems almost complete, except for the first drop. And if you look here you can see the mega lite, that seems to be close to completion too Still seems like they got a very long way to go on the rest of the park though!
hobbit Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Happy Vally Airtime and brakes, Wheee, Fire Fire Fire, awesome, thanku The Gravity Group. Test, Test, Test look at Gwazi and sheikra, Â OO NOO, its the chinees Fireball and diving machine
netdvn Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 MMM... That's one yummy looking coaster. Â But now I'm more interested in the Mega-Lite.
atem122 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 So the best wooden (This) and steel (iSpeed for sure!) coasters being built this year are being build out of the states....It's just not fair! But every time I see more of this all I can think is yet another tgg masterpiece
netdvn Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 ^ What about Terminator Salivation? Prowler? LSHoF? Manta? HR3? Not to mention Quassy's getting a Meteor-sized GG woodie that looks pretty good. Nowhere near Voyage or Fireball-sized, but still a fun-looking coaster. Â All those coasters look very good to me and they're all in US parks.
BamBam36 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I think I'm the only one that doesnt think this looks that great. If this was built in the US, I wouldnt care to ride it(based on just photos) until I was in the area.
BamBam36 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 ^ What about Terminator Salivation? Prowler? LSHoF? Manta? HR3? Not to mention Quassy's getting a Meteor-sized GG woodie that looks pretty good. Nowhere near Voyage or Fireball-sized, but still a fun-looking coaster. All those coasters look very good to me and they're all in US parks. What's this "Quassy's getting a Meteor-sized GG woodie" that you speak of? Any links?
netdvn Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Its pretty much an unknown coaster because its been overshadowed by bigger coasters this year... Â Â http://thegravitygroup.com/gravitycast/top-secret/#comments Taken straight from their mouths.
atem122 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 ^ What about Terminator Salivation? Prowler? LSHoF? Manta? HR3? Not to mention Quassy's getting a Meteor-sized GG woodie that looks pretty good. Nowhere near Voyage or Fireball-sized, but still a fun-looking coaster. All those coasters look very good to me and they're all in US parks. Time to decipher 1 by one: Termy: looks fun, but in reality it's just a standard gci with barely any airtime Prowler: May give it a run for its money, but lacks the might of this ride, and this one seems almost as twisty, it just doesnt follow terrain Dback: Just behemoth with a splash down (before I get killed for saying that it has almost the exact same elements throughout, and it's just ups and downs without twists which really make rides more "unpredictable/surprising" Manta: definitely a superb, but without scenery (to even it out) it'd be pretty tame like most flyers HRRR: Pretty cool, but no launch like ispeed! Quasy: Just a kiddie woodie so it can't really compete, except in the hearts of credit whores  That said I'm sure I'd freaking love all of those rides, I just find that Fireball and iSpeed will be the best of their kinds this year
netdvn Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Here's my opinion... Judging by past reviews of GCI's (I've never been on one myself so I can't officially judge) they have been very positive. Terminator is no exeption. The ride looks amazingly fun and the huge structure makes this ride look like the American equivalent of Fireball. Â From what I've heard, Prowler my be the new Beast. Â There's only so much B&M will do with their hypers unfortunately. I don't think they will try any new, twisty elements on any of their hypers anytime soon. Diamondback looks awesome and reviews have been fairly positive. Â Manta has an amazing theme! I think that even without the theme it could be an awesome coaster. Â HR3 looks like Fireball's steel equivalent. Â Like I said before, Quassy's coaster is more of a Meteor-style woodie, not a Voyage/Hades/RF2 style one. Â Overall I love the way Fireball looks and I really can't wait to see the rest of the park when it opens.

I went to the GG website and sniffed around and couldnt find anything. Might need some glasses
Guest Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Has anyone here got any idea when Happy valley Shanghai will be open?
ginzo Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Dback: Just behemoth with a splash down (before I get killed for saying that it has almost the exact same elements throughout, and it's just ups and downs without twists which really make rides more "unpredictable/surprising" Â Huh??? Â I've been on both coasters and I don't see much similarity in the lay outs.
SharkTums Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 This thread was getting way off topic...let's stay with Fireball at Happy Valley Shanghai.
Thelegendarymatthew Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 So, when are they going to be running the trains? Â If I missed it in the topic, I'm sorry
supertrooper Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Woohoo Fireball! I haven't had a chance to ride very many good wooden coasters...I'm looking forward to Fireball changing that.
netdvn Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 ^^ They've already been testing the trains... Hopefully this will open soon.
