Looks like an Xtended SC 2000 from the side picture on their website.

Well, most of us were right about the spinning part. This looks very fun indeed. When I go to the Boardwalk in 2013, I'll give it a go for sure.

Yup. It's the same model as Waldameer...which is GREAT! Really fun ride!

Undertow - I like the cool name. Also looks like a fun coaster

[Moose]

Love the name and I Love this type of spinner!

[Blue Fire Guy]

This looks like a LOT of fun! This and Au13 both...is there a 2013 Bay Area Bash in the works?

[CpBluestreakCp]

Great name and perfect addition. Looks like it will be a hit there.

[Angry_Gumball]

Well my guess was close enough! 2013's going to be awesome!

[Double0Kevin]

I'd be down for a BAB. I need some TPR event action in my life.

Between Superman, Au13, and now this...I'm in if this comes to be!

[gisco]

Nice, I hope you can get this thing to really spin.

[rcdude]

Undertow looks like an excellent addition to the park. I've been on a couple other identical coasters, and they were both good rides. It's not going to dethrone Giant Dipper as the park's best ride, but it will be a much better second coaster than Hurricane was.

If this happens, I am there. I've wanted to go to Bay Area Bash for a while, and each year something has prevented me from going. I'll just have to schedule my Northern California trip to coincide with the event.

This makes sense for Santa Cruz. Undertow is a clever name, too.

This ride looks awesome! I can't wait to ride it!

[Manic Monte]

Looks like a great ride!

[CorkscrewFoley]

Looks dizzying, but definitely will be a fun ride...By the way, what is Au13?

By the way, what is Au13?

Any information on whether this is a new ride or a second hand one?

[redmenace8]

Wow, that really is a great looking coaster, and what a great name, sometimes things just work.

[PAL]

Just curious... Other than the slightly different ride experience from the seating position (inward vs outward facing) what are the price or operational differences between this Maurer Sohne model and the competing product from Gerstlauer (the Six Flags Pandemoniums)? The Maurer seems more commonly found at smaller parks. Less costly?

[65skylark]

Very much looking forward to this ride! Loved the spinner at Waldameer. We are due for another trip down to NoCal next year.

[TXman308]

So this basically confirms that SFMM's coaster is a premier?

 

Never been on a Maurer Sohne spinner. How are they compared to the Gerstlauer ones?

I much prefer the Maurer ones.
