Skycoastin Steve Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I think we need to invent some sort of teleportation device to magically whisk ourselves away to China and ride this thing when it opens. Either that or someone needs to help me pay for the trip to China in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 ^Oh sure! Say that now. But you'll be thanking me later for giving you this little reminder. That glorious day when we are all lifted together, whole. Yes people, I speak of the rapture! The day that we will all walk hand in hand in his kingdom. To walk with our savior and creator. The Lord Jesus Christ. I see it now in my little minds eye. EXT - HEAVEN - LATE MORNING It's kinda like South Central. Only made out of clouds. Jesus struts down the street with a huge boom box on his shoulder. Me - Jesus! (Pronounced Hey-seuss!) What up MuthaF^*ka?! We high 5 and give each other a chest bump. Jesus - Yo yo yo! What up homie! Did you catch a glimpse of Elle Mac P. dis morning? Dude! Biznitch is a stone cold MILF! Me - Tru dat! Tru dat! Ya mo tap dat sh!t dis afternoon! Jesus - Sho yo right! You give mamasita my best home slice. Cause I knows yo's ain't good enough! Ha Ha! Me - Hey-seuss please! He pulls out a blunt and we head over to the strip club where we do rails off a dancers naked a$$. Kickin' our feet up ringside, we watch some midgets wrestle in mayonaise as we get all krunked out on gin & juice. Later that day I take Elle Mac P. to pound town! AND... ...SCENE! Guy "So? My heaven is a bit different than yours. Your welcome." Koepp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 And here is another recently released picture, this time of the bottom of the "first" drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 So this coaster looks straight out of a coaster nerd's dream. They've even started planting trees around the finished portions already! Another thought though: As a student of audio engineering, I am positive that tunnels on a wooden coaster are one of the worst things on the earth for your ears (and ear damage is 100% permanent), so I always have mixed feelings about their presence. I know that this is an oddball concern that nearly nobody on the planet will agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 ^So all wood coasters that go through tunnels are causing permanent hearing loss? Hmmmmmmmm! To think I blamed it on all those years of being on tour. And it was freaking wood coasters! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Guy "Can we start a class action lawsuit against the entire amusement industry?"

themeparkman25 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Another great picture of this coaster. This is one massive coaster! Jordan "Saving sucks, but riding this coaster won't!" Darrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaMiTsPaT Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 This ride looks like Dollywood's Thunderhead on steroids! I can't wait to see how this turns out because it looks like it may make its way onto many top10 lists when it opens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayzle Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Seriously if ghost town in the sky had just invested in this instead of fixing up a mediocre coaster at best, they would still be around IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
