Blue Fire Guy Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm very anxious for the official reveal of the opening date. Normally I'd never buy a Fast Lane, but I will just for GS's opening day. It is going to be seriously PACKED on that day. I still can't believe I'll be riding this thing in around a month, it is truly surreal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Agreed, this would be the one time is buy a Fast Lane in my home park. Gold Striker is worthy enough to warrant the expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gay:The Ride Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Is the tunnel supposed to be pitch black on Gold Strikers first drop? In the updated POV the bottom has light shining through the track. Â Also, from the new POV rendering, It does not show the underside of the tunnel being filled in... but I thought in the PR they said all sides would be covered. This defeats the advertised purpose of a tunnel because its not going to be truely dark.... makes it seems like it was in reality, indeed, a scream shield/barrier. Â Its just a rendering, not the exact ride. It could simply have been overlooked when they made it, or simply decided to not bother with it...cause its only a rendering... I guess i overlooked that. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It looks like this could be the best GCI creation so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRnR Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I know the park says the opening date is TBA but isn't it safe to assume May 4th will be it with the charity auction for first rider earlier that week? Â Either way I found a cheap flight today from Orlando and plan to check out the Bay-Area parks that weekend. What are the best tips for a first-timer visiting the park? Since this is a spur of the moment trip I haven't really been following the park in recent years - does the park take a full day to complete?

robman Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I went to the park this afternoon for a bit and it was dead today! Just about everything was a walk on or hardly had any wait, which made it great for a lot of re rides. Over at Gold Striker there was a lot of activity today, there was a lot of people working on the station, putting the sign up and the structure it's self. I have this feeling that the ride may start testing as early as next week. Â Â If you would like to see more pictures from today, head on over to CGA Insider and don't forget to give it a like! Here's a quick picture of what the station looked like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark549 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 They must be bidding in Bitcoin. Â Zimbabwe dollars. Â (Hope the graphics are appropriate.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjsharkattack10 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Off topic but I was listening to the season pass podcast and they were talking to the president of Cedar fair and he was saying that CGA will become the next knotts when it comes to Halloween Haunt. It gets me very excited about that part of their future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
