Those trains look pretty wicked, I like them.

It looks like it will be holding two trains at once, cool.

Here's an update from this afternoon.

The last of the footer trenches

 

Bye, bye footer trenches

[HCLcoasters]

Wow I can't wait for this ride to be released. Unlike most GCI's it actually looks pretty spread out. I wonder what that'll be like.

An update from the park.

I went out to pet the kitty yesterday and I took a camera.

Wow is actually looking nicer than I though

[ShannonSomerville]

It looks good. The trains are very unique.

Looks better than I thought it would. I've been a little worried about this coaster, not looking too good. It's too low. Sure, it'll be fast and have great pacing, but it should have more hills. It also looks a tad rough from the video, I think some of the turns are too sudden and should be banked more.

Just a hint, coasters never run like they do in the video. It will be much more fluid than that.

 

And for it being so low and not having enough hills, the ride is FULL of hills, their smaller size just means more airtime.

The animation's banking does not accurately reflect the real banking.

Yeah, I know, but you can still get an idea of what it'll look/be like.

[GoldRusheROCKS]

That first new pic looks awesome... so ready to go back.

OMG, this is looking rediculously cool!

The ammount of airtime on this thing should be great!

[hyyyper]

Damn, nice job on this one already guys. Hope you get to build another one in Holland soon!

[CreditCrazy]

Looks awesome. I hope the trees grow back!

[Shavethewhales]

^Once the leaves and the undergrowth grow back, you won't even be able to see this thing.

[Speeddeamon128]

Awesome pics. GCI woodies are my favorite & Prowler looks like a must ride for me. I don't think I'll get to World's of Fun in 09 but possibly 2010.

[Jive]

There's an update on the official Prowler page. They put the big ass bridge in last week.

Ahhhh i'm so excited to ride this beast next summer at Coaster Con! You can't tell from the pictures, but the whole ride will supposedly be surrounded by trees to give you that whole "lost in the jungle" affect =D It definitely looks alot different than most GCI's.. not as wound tightly together.

 

Sure looks like a winner!

 

 

[ipod ftw]

Man this is one of the best looking GCI's Ive ever seen! I like individual footers over the huge slab too!

 

And like every GCI I'm sure it will be an amazing ride!

[BuschSchoe]

Definitely looks great.

Worlds Of Fun made a wise decision when making this purchase.

[Eric_Smith]

I am so confused. What part of the ride requires the bridge?

[Jive]

There's a creek that divides the station from the rest of the ride. There's two bridges. One for the list and the other for the return to the station.

[Eric_Smith]

^Ok. Thank you so much for clearing that up.

 

On another note, does anyone know when the trains are scheduled to show up?
