#1rollercoasterfan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Are they getting as many guests as possible so you wait 2 hours to ride so this will be like Gold Striker's opening day or are they getting enough guests to fill both trains so there will be plenty of re rides? & Does anybody think they will let us ride Gold Striker first before being filmed?
Angry_Gumball Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^They are probably getting enough participants so that they can swap out riders. They wouldn't just get as many riders as possible just to simulate a 2 hour wait. I was also wondering myself if there would be a dry run so we can get a feel for the ride. We shall find out in about 9 hours
Jason Hilton Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 We'll be there for all three days! See you all tonight. Thanks again for the info Robb!
robman Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^Awesome see you all three days! Â Â Looking forward to meeting everyone tonight!
#1rollercoasterfan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I mean they have to let us all on to ride with out being filmed first since nobody has been on it yet! That's what I'm betting! They wouldn't film before we have a feel for the ride. I agree Angry Gumball. I am REALLY hoping to get on the first train of riders!!! I wonder too how they are going to organize that so we are not all fighting for the first train! OMG 5 more hours till ride time!!! YA HOOOOOOOOO!!!
singemfrc Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I dont think there will be any "extra" trains, if the crew is being paid theyre going to want to start as soon as possible, and I imagine they will decide who rides. Personally I'll just be happy to ride even if it's not the first train.
Riextol Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 If this is like past promotional shoots, there will be a helicopter tonight as well. We may do a little station waiting until the Helicopter is in the right position, but they will give us enough rides so that we will want to come back the next time they need live riders. Â T-Minus 4:45 Hours.

JJnCFL Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Less than 5 hours to go, the anticipation is getting stronger! Plus I got my Golden Tickets for tomorrow and Thursday, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
rolercstrluvr Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'll be the first to leave my house to get there early, wonder if there will already be people on site. Leaving in about 1.25 hours.
TyRush Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^Are you guys guaranteed any seats? Or is it a race to the finish line?!
Angry_Gumball Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 CGA's still looking for teens for this Thursday. www.cagreatamerica.com/promoshoot Do you call of duty if you haven't already, and if you can make it!
rjvader Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^Are you guys guaranteed any seats? Or is it a race to the finish line?! I'm actually wondering this myself. I got a confirmation for Thursday, so I guess I can just wait and see what our fellow TPR members say about tonight's promo shoot. If I'm just going to be standing around for 3 hours watching everyone else have fun riding (without getting any chance to ride), I might as well save time and gas money by staying home.
Swornenemy Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'm looking forward to hearing how the ride is. Too bad I couldn't have made it these few days to see for myself.
CrazedZooChimp Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 As an infrequent lurker on TPR, I just saw the posts about the promo shoot and signed up (which it seemed to let me do for Wed/Thur). I'm crossing my fingers they're still short people for Thursday! It makes me realize I need to come check these forums more often, heh.
Angry_Gumball Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Gold Striker was AWESOME! You all are in for a real treat!
TyRush Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Gold Striker was AWESOME! You all are in for a real treat! Thats great! How was the speed? Continuous good pacing?
Swornenemy Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Gold Striker was AWESOME! You all are in for a real treat! Â Some good airtime?
Tmcdllr Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I LOVED IT! Â Speed, good pops of air, so much fun! Â This park needed this so bad and its a winner!
XYZ Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 For those who rode Gold Striker, do you prefer it over Flight Deck?
jjeerr Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 When both are open at the same time I'd be able to tell you better.
skaunit Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I'm gonna be honest, I think I like it better than apoc! Soon much floater airtime on this thing, and just amazing pacing throughout. It's super fast, and after a ride in front, back, and middle it gives a slightly different experience in each. The middle felt the fastest. Best woodie in California (and I've rode them all). Â Is it better than flight deck? How do you answer that? It's apples and oranges.
Angry_Gumball Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Second ride, solidified my #1 wood coaster. Awesome pacing, unexpected pops of air. Fun laterals and smooth ride. Edited May 1, 2013 by Angry_Gumball
robman Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 For those who rode Gold Striker, do you prefer it over Flight Deck? Â YES
TyRush Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 ^^In the picture i swear the people look like Flat Stanley's
