robbalvey Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 They're not gonna build a support that clobbers your face while you ride. This isn't Mount Olympus. Okay fine, you get a And one more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I like everything I see. With excellent airtime potential and fast pacing, I think big fun will be packed all over this thing. I'm impressed with the length of the course, too. The double-down looks like a savory element. Another good-looking Florida woodie, pinch me!

viking86 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That looks like a ton of fun! And it definitely seems to pack a lot of track into a rather small space. Should be a fantastic addition! *Sigh* As if I didn't already have enough reasons to want to go back to Orlando... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOGdude25 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Wooo!!! Another Gravity Group woodie in the States!!! Gives me yet another reason to come back to Orlando. This ride looks super fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Best coaster in Florida. Calling it now. Ahem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkFunk Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Best coaster in Florida. Calling it now. Ahem... Like I said, best coaster in Florida. I'll just camp out on it next trip for like hours. Make a denim patch jacket with nothing but patches for whatever the hell its called. I'm hyped as hell.

Satans Hockey Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The only thing I have to complain about is that I'll be missing this, volcano bay and Pandora land by a few months. Gives me more to look forward to the next time I'm down there. If it's even remotely as fun as white lightning it will be amazing. I can't wait.

Superbatboy Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 11 airtime moments, looks like RMC is forcing GG and GCI to step up their game in the airtime dept. I guess 2017 won't be as bleak in the U.S. as we thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I went to the Fun Spot in Kissimmee on one of my previous Florida trips, back when it only had the wild mouse. It's about time for them to get a nice wooden coaster to compliment it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredskull84 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This thing looks like so much fun. I especially love how the inversion comes right after the first drop. Should be wild! And to all the people sitting there criticising the rendering...are you kidding me?? There's a fantastic new coaster opening up, and it's almost like some people think it sucks just because the video released isn't 100% realistic? My god.

thrillseeker4552 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This coaster looks awesome! What a perfect addition. It will definitely give White Lightning a run for its money. 2017, while a bit dry, seems to be quite a good year for wooden coasters with Mystic Timbers, InvadR, and this.

larrygator Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Always good to see something different being built in a region, in this case Florida being the region. It should be quite a big deal for the locals who are not traveling enthusiasts. Edited December 9, 2016 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This looks like another great compact coaster from Gravity Group. Look forward to riding it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceBoarder Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Seems like a neat little coaster that will pack quite a punch for being under 90 feet tall... I'd hit it up if I'm around Central FL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaTim Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Awesome announcement! I love how TGG(and GCI) absolutely PACKS their layouts with elements, where even if the track length is short you feel like you got a "complete" ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 And to all the people sitting there criticising the rendering...are you kidding me?? There's a fantastic new coaster opening up, and it's almost like some people think it sucks just because the video released isn't 100% realistic? My god. The shoddiness of it almost adds to its charm, honestly. And it perfectly sums up the roller coaster ride that has been 2016, especially getting slammed in the face with a support beam.

michaellynn4 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Great news! Glad to see smaller parks like Fun Spot continue to invest in bigger and better things! Also, for the record, I didn't notice any of the "issues" with the renderings until it was pointed out. If I ever start seriously caring about such innocuous things like that, please push me in front of a train, I surely wouldn't deserve to live anymore.

CaptainUnknown Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Those so-called "problems" with the renderings are just extreme hand/head choppers. Always makes the ride more fun! I seriously doubt that the ride will actually Swarm the riders. A train load of Swarm'd riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Well that didn't take long. I'll admit that (while I know nothing about No Limits), I noticed it when watching the video and was waiting to see how long it would be before some smart A$$ complained about it. I mean, here you have an inverting wood coaster announced completely out of nowhere from a park chain that everyone loves in a park that just added a super cool flat ride next door to a former sh*thole that's currently investing 20 million dollars into becoming less of a sh*thole and actually being cool AND they offer a combo ticket with their other rapidly expanding and awesome park in Orlando that (by the way) also has a great wood coaster, crazy flat rides and really cheap beer. There's literally nothing to bitch about here but rather than not bitching and being happy, we're complaining about someone's NL skills. QFT *sigh* I feel the same way...

Canobie Coaster Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Wow this coaster looks amazing. The two Gravity Groups up here in New England are airtime machines and this one has an extra 40 feet in height and a barrel roll. Should be a major hit for the park. I've never been to either Fun Spot location when I've gone to Orlando, but I really think I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordecai-75 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This coaster looks top notch! The lift and set up for the drop and inversion looks to me as if mister Anton Schwarzkopf designed it. Nice job Gravity Group and Fun Spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The two Gravity Groups up here in New England are airtime machines Wooden Warrior & what's the other that I'm missing? 11 airtime moments, looks like RMC is forcing GG and GCI to step up their game in the airtime dept. I don't know whether or not it's just RMC making everyone else sweat, as GG has done some really cool designs in the past (with mixed maintenance results over time). They can also dish out great airtime, and I think this could be the most enduring onslaught of bunnies that GG has offered so far. Looks good!

historyfreak92 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Does make me think about Switchback Railway from ZDT's! But I think ZDT's outta get something like this or maybe something like White Lightning! But I guess not because it's too small, & no room anywhere there! But it would be nice!

Blatch Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The two Gravity Groups up here in New England are airtime machines Wooden Warrior & what's the other that I'm missing? Roar-O-Saurus at Story Land all the way up in Glen, New Hampshire. Sadly, I never go to that part of the state anymore. But I bet 8-year-old me, who went to that park often, would have loved the hell out of that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
