tycoonrebel7188 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The Knight Valley coaster made its first test run. There is video on GCI's Facebook page. This thing looks like it is hauling through the entire course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samisthabomb Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Dear God, that thing is MASSIVE! And it's haulin' butt! Folks, it looks like GCI built another "great coaster"! (Hah, get it? "GREAT coaster"? You do? But it's lame? Okay, I'll stop trying. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6flagsbrad Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This is what I wish Terminator (Apocalypse) at Magic Mountain should have turned out like. If they had used just a little bit of the terrain anywhere around the park, it could be so much better. This thing looks wicked, great video.

Airtime&Gravity Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow, I was a little concerned when the animated pov was posted, and it looked like a wooden "Jet Coaster". I doubt it'll top the Intamin pre-fab coasters, but this looks like a contender for one of the top wooden coasters in the world. It looks like a great ride nonetheless. Now, we just have to hope the park's maintenance department can keep it running to the best of its ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCard Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The first drop sequence looks to be everything I thought it would be and more. Â I can't wait to see a POV of this ride just to see how much airtime there is on that drop and the view while diving off of the hillside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeT Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The most promising Test Run I ever saw of any Coaster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It almost kinda reminds one of how the K'nex Coasters whip around the loop real fast with that crazy speed and then just dart to the next point. It all seems to happen so fast. It really does look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Even on the video, you can tell this thing is really hauling arse throughout the entire course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It does look very fast. And it seems to maintain it's speed very well. However, I still think the elements look long and drawn out. I will have to abstain judgement until riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This coaster looks simply phenomenal! I may never make it to China to ride this thing, but I think this might end up being GCI's best coaster design yet! And that test run video?? *Droooool* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
