atem122 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) If you're a fan of GCI on the Facebook thing, then you've most likely seen them posting CGI images of some new terrain based design that they're working on. If not, here are the pictures so far: *see below* If any of you are super familiar with terrain and wanna take a stab at where this is going, then go for it! So far, it looks like it could be GCI's greatest layout to date (including you, Prowler)! Become a fan of GCI to follow the updates sooner: http://www.facebook.com/index.php?lh=88db92d317b8ea1970ee91ef6d45b413!/GreatCoasters?ref=ts Picture of the terrain. Lift hill. With those iron beams, the ride mayyy cross under the lift hill there. A new turnaround. Their latest picture that was just posted.

coasterfreak101 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Coolest way to hint at a ride ever. This looks phenomenal, I'm really excited to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriestofSyrinx Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I saw that. Looks quite awesome. Terrain+GCI= one of the best we may see form them... Except for that guy on the Facebook comments, he was bashing TPR for its love of Prowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 ^^I still to this day don't understand why people get so worked up over roller coasters. They're fun, but they aren't life or death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Great to see another Terrain coaster going in. Kinda reminds me of Thunderbolt's Terrain. Edited February 13, 2010 by kidcoaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriestofSyrinx Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hehe I know where its going O RLY? Just fooling you Any way I think it may go to a non-chain park in the northeast. Just where though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 It's gonna go on the front side of the Calico Mine Ride at Knott's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 A lot of people on Facebook said it fits the terrain of Silver Dollar City. I've never been there but the seem to have a good line up of coasters, and getting this would make me really wanna go there. (Assuming it runs as good as it looks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckrazy06 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Haha funny, I literally just saw this on Facebook like 30 seconds ago. Then come here and see a thread about it. Anyways, my prediction? Kennywood 2011!!!! A GCI would be a great fit for the park IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 ^Kennywood is getting something this year though! I don't think they'd have enough money for another ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie200330 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 That doesn't in any way fit the void left by BBW does it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shavethewhales Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'm biased, but if I had to guess what park this is going into I'd say SDC. They're in a position to invest in a massive new coaster right now, and a terrain GCII would be an obvious choice for them. They would also invest enough into it to make sure it stood out from Prowler. Of course, that's assuming this is a real project. I have a feeling this is more of an example project/practice for them. They are getting a lot of people worked up over it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Everyone, STOP comparing it to Prowler...it will NEVER compare!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastersrule85 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So true! Gosh, Prowler was such a great coaster...at least back when it was in its prime. You know, maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it would be nice if that was a drawing of a coaster being built on a rock quarry wall...maybe in the same place that Rattler sits...sigh, to dream the impossible dream.

Skycoastin Steve Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 ^^I will say that Prowler was a very, very solid coaster. My #2 GCI behind Evel Knievel. But it's no Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelinwood Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Haha funny, I literally just saw this on Facebook like 30 seconds ago. Then come here and see a thread about it. Anyways, my prediction? Kennywood 2011!!!! A GCI would be a great fit for the park IMO. they just purchased a steel coaster, I don't think it will be for them. Regardless, It's still going to be amazing. That doesn't in any way fit the void left by BBW does it?? It could also be possible, but the land doesn't seem to really fit, except for the hill though. Plus I don't see any water in the concept art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 It looks to be a cross between Boulder Dash and Thunderhead. I really don't know too many extreme terrain parks that are out there other than Kenywood, Lake Compounce, BGE, SDC, Dollywood and King's Island. Maybe if someone would go through the trouble of investingating the topography maps of these parks and compare them to the model. Watch it be a park in another country...

Skycoastin Steve Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Not to be one of those "it's a new coaster so it MUST be coming to the park nearest me" kinda people, but the terrain closely resembles that of the hill that Rampage sits on. Now obviously I know it's not replacing Rampage and it's not coming to Alabama Adventure, but the terrain is still similar. But if I had a guess, I would say it's going to BGA.

CreditCrazy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 What about Holiday World? The park is on a hill and I'm surprised they don't have a GCI yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 ^Not sure if there's a place along the terrain-ish part of the park that fits that description, unless they extend the park way out into the woods..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I've been looking through each park suggested on Google Maps terrain view, but I haven't had that Eureka moment yet. While that's not exactly accurate, this leads me to believe more and more that this is either for overseas or it's a conceptual project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
