Olov Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Wow, that's crazy how fast it's hauling it's ass over all those hills. I would expect some major airtime pops all over the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't go and watch the full HD version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorchomp83 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've got a very strong inclination that this ride is going to be a very big hit for everyone who ventures to Worlds of Fun! It's almost like a mini-Voyage....As you can see in the HD video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I must say after following the construction reports and seeing that ride fly over its second hill, this thing is gonna be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Holy crap that is fast. I even said that out loud when I was watching it, Lol. I tried to watch it in HD, but it kept skipping. I guarantee you that this will be my favorite woodie. I haven't been on any decent ones, so I know this will win. I'm so excited!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I tried to watch it in HD, but it kept skipping. Try pausing it and letting it load. It skipped on me up to the top of the lift hill, but then played alright from there out. I'm really looking forward to riding this in July!

ethans_dad06 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Wow that is incredibly smooth! I've never been on a GCI so I didn't realize just how smooth they were!! Man I wish I could make a trip out there and ride that thing! Oh well terminator will have to do;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I counted 14 moments of what looks to be AWESOME GCI airtime! Fantastic addition. I want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Wow, the ride really turned out different than I expected. There's definately more hills and air-time than there seemed to be in the pictures and animation. I like the length and layout too. I just hope all those trees grow back!

taytig Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 while this ride looks great, I am wondering why there is no tunnel? I think some of this airtime in a tunnel would be awesome! Looks like a fun ride though. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ride looks insane none-the-less. Though I will add to each his/her own. Every ride has a new experience to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 After seeing the POV Prowler looks like a good ride. It doesn't look like there were that many airtime spots but it looks smooth & fun. It doesn't look like I'll get on Prowler this year but Terminator, Manta, & Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit are definite & Diamondback is possible.

Yamez Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I think I may have to find a way out there at some point to ride this. I've already got a packed schedule between work, Kings Island, and Holiday World. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCard Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Can't wait to hear a report from Worlds of Fun today. It looks like this one is a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I don't know why you'd need a tunnel with all that wonderful nature speeding past you. That's going to be a great night ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam36 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Can't wait to hear a report from Worlds of Fun today. It looks like this one is a winner! Same here!! I'm looking forward to this the most of al the new coasters. Should be hitting it end of may, so lets hope it's as good as it looks in the video.

Paul Arthur Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 The wife and I went to the Media VIP Preview this afternoon..... it was a great ride! Great surroundings around a great layout and a very smooth but exciting ride. Lots of quick turns that were very surprising, even on the 3rd experience. I found myself getting confused a couple times as to which direction we were going and where in the general footprint of the ride we were. It was nicely disorienting. It was faster than I was expecting, given the overall height and momentum build up. The weather was pretty gloomy and rainy earlier in the day, but by the event time the sun came out and it warmed up a little. I snapped a few pictures of the event, nothing too exciting... but I'll endeavor to get them on here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslinterpreter Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hey Paul, it was good to meet you today at the Park! It was a great ride, just like Paul said. My wife was a GCI virgin before today, and fell in love with them this afternoon! I will only post a few pics. I saw the camera that Paul was using and his pics will turn our much better than mine! Thanks for checking out our pics! Jeffrey and April Lift hill! This is going down onto the lift hill. Our TPR were a big hit! Lots of people came up and talked to us about them! The fat ACER woman gave us a mean look. The ride OP guy took this pic, and when we asked if he would, he said anything for TPR! This is a fellow TPR guy but I forgot his name. The line was not too bad. Only about 20 minutes running two trains. They brought in some cats from a wildlife place. These are the coupons that we got. It was nice to get a free dinner!

WOFKCFAN Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I went out there today... WOW!!!!! Prowler is absolutely amazing and Brandon Stanley really worked hard to make everyone have a good time. Y'all NEED to ride this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorchomp83 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Prowler is definitely an outstanding ride. Of my three rides, two were in the back and one in the front and the back is definitely "the spot." The ride itself isn't huge, but it takes great advantage of the terrain that it's on. The air is quick, but most of the time it's mixed in with nice laterals as well. While not on the scale of Voyage, I'd consider it a mini version, simply for the speed, location, terrain, extremely fast pace and disorientation. Worlds of Fun did very good with this ride. Easily top 3 wood for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Looks like fun! The only thing I don't like is the lack of floaterness. It seems like a whip here & there sort of ride. It's like a wooden megalite that's low to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCard Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I wouldn't be so quick to judge any GCII coaster. They are very deceptive with their airtime and have some tricky ways of throwing it at you. After hearing these reports Prowler is definitely on my to-do list for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Arthur Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 ASL: Good to meet you too. There's not too many of us here in KC I'll put a few pics up... I was mainly taking pics of something else that I can't disclose and can't put up on this board (get your minds out of the gutter). I'll be in Orlando tomorrow through the 11th, but when I get back I'll have something else to put up that's more related to the construction history of this coaster. These were the swag bottles the VIPs got. All in all, a nice event and a great new ride! Highly recommended if you get the chance. Rebekah decides to grab some more VIP drinks before we head out. Everyone seems to be mellowing now that the sun is setting. There's never a phone around when you need one. Not much going on in here, since the camera wasn't working today... therefore no photos to buy. Photo/Souvenir building Entering Prowler Plaza Making our way to the wrong side of the tracks. Who's a pretty sign? That's right... you are. Head On! Apply Directly To The Forehead! Don't point at it.... it's not polite. Management anxiously awaits food to be served. Open 'er up and it lunges pop up book style! Well, not really.... but that would have been really cool. Media invitation to the event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
