Jew Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 ^I agree. It's great that they are being insanely cautious in case there are any earthquakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Gravity Group sure can design one classy coaster, thats for sure. I think that ride will be rated highly and I hope someday I can make it out there to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just came across a couple more to add.

Shockwave Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Can we please not talk about Chinese Earthquakes, especially since we'll be visiting Chengdu!!!!??? Thank you, that is all! You mean you're not trembling at the prospect of riding this? You're not shaking in your boots? This ride would certainly get an 8.9 on my scale!

thunderguy345 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That looks fun... Pure fun! I hope it won't be rough though, but thats insane if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 The ride does include upstop wheels, so riding during an earthquake may not even be noticed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vid_w Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'd like one of these in my background, please! Seriously, this is the sexiest coaster ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 A few more shots have come in from Martin & Vleminckx today.... And in case you missed them, here were the two from the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Gravity Group seriously amazes me. This is their 5th design, and I still just can't figure them out. It seems like there is something different every time. There are some designers out there that you can kind of expect something from. I don't want to say that they are predictable, but they have their own little design quirks. But the guys at Gravity Group just throw something completely new, or unique, into each layout and foot of track. It is just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 This ride is really coming together really well and looks fantastic. Those pictures really show the "swooping" aspect of the ride as it flows from one pitch to the next. Great photo update, thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks for showing us these Robb. Coaster looks beautiful! Hope to ride it one day. Awesome photos! Blah! Blah! Blah!

timetrial3141592 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I was browsing the Happy Valley website and came across this pic. What coaster is this, where is it located, and who designed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ^LOL...well thats funny. It's El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Designed by Intamin. http://www.rcdb.com/id3183.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetrial3141592 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Right. My point was that it was not Fireball, not designed by Gravity Group LLC, and not at Happy Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netdvn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 OMG! Does this mean that Happy Valley is really getting an Intamin PnP, not a GG woodie? On a more serious note, you'd think that Happy Valley would at least spend the extra time to edit Ka out of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 It's an amusement park using an image of another ride to hype up their own shocker! Parks do this all the time. Photoshopping, using other rides to advertise their own, etc etc. I'd think nothing of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Still lookin' great. And I really like the way it's close to the water, it looks a lot nicer that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have just recieved another Fireball update from Martin & Vleminckx. It's look like the ride is getting close to being complete! And it's looking GREAT! Here are some new photos... And say hello to the crew that has brought you Fireball all very happy after they received the approval from the Government of China Inspectors for the first Wood Coaster in their Country! Congrats guys! I believe this section is about all that's remaining of the structure to be constructed. There we go! That's better! If only that S&S tower wasn't blocking the view! A shot from the lift hill. This is looking VERY pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This ride looks GREAT! I cannot wait to hear some reviews when it is compleated as it looks like it will be a nice ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I see another coaster in the background. Most likely the B&M Dive Machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This coaster looks like a lot of fun, but I can't help but think part of this ride is going to slide into the water on either side some day. I also noticed how much more clear the China air looked in these pictures compared to the rest. The past pictures made it look like such a depressing place.
