Fun Spot America Discussion Thread

The layout looks great! Can't wait until it's finished. Good to get some more coasters in the Orlando area for when I visit!

Looks absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to ride this in my next venture out to Orlando, I know this should be done by the time I make it back there!

I've never been to Fun Spot. I typically don't visit these types of parks. I need to make an exception on this one! I'm a BIG GCII FAN...

[buckaroo234]

Looks amazing!

 

IS this going to be the first GCI with the steel structure and wood running track? So far i think ive only seen Gravity Group do that.

This ride definitely looks "Prowler-like," which is OK by me. Good to see more airtime hills on a GCI.

Back in April, GCI posted this "Brainstorm":

I guess you can say the brainstorm's a reality now.

I like the layout on this one. Its so hard for me to convince my family to go to other things in Orlando besides seeing the mouse but this might be easier to.

[Meteornotes]

Looks awesome. Will be very interested to ride it next year.

It even looks as if there's a bit of trick track there at the end.

This is truly amazing. While I am a big fan of the big parks here in Orlando, its' the smaller ones that I hope to make a name for itself. Fun Spot will be a MUST stop in 2013.

A Prowler-like GCI with 18 whole airtime moments sounds simply amazing If I ever get back to visit Orlando I will definitely ride this.

This may just be the thing that convinces me to fork over the cash for a Fun Spot annual pass! That layout really looks amazing and my anticipation for the Fun Spot expansion has gone up 200%!

Yikes, that track renders strangely in AutoCAD sometimes. I'm sure Fun Spot will post some more as we get some prettier images.

[gisco]

That looks like it will be a lot of fun with a lot of hair time.

[Gnome]

2000 feet long with a hight of 75 feet? Should be a good length ride, and those hills... i love me some curvy hills

[beatle11]

Looks amazing! Especially for a small place like that. Just another reason to head down to Orlando!

[adamico2]

Wow, this ride looks incredible! To Evan and everyone else at GCI, congratulations, it definitely looks like you'll have a winner with this one.

I remember my dad taking us kids there, and I didn't have a memorable time. Now, I can't wait to go back here! That ride looks absolutely amazing!!!

[dragonskeep]

I love this sooooooo much. When you think of the parks in Orlando it seemed we would never get a proper woodie, this is phenomenal.

[chadster]

Low and fast, I'll take it.

[Jew]

Looks awesome! Fun Spot looks like it will be the place to be for locals looking for a cheaper alternative to the big parks!

Found this on their site.

 

Part of the layout seems different from the stills but same basic thing.

Think that was the original plan, not this newly released one with more money for the project.

 

And about the AutoCad bit, I was wondering if it was just an error in the picture, but I was really digging the drastic straight edge transition at the lift hill.

Looks enticing to me!! Double Up, Double Down, 90 degree bank...I'm sold.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. But havent they used NoLimits before to showcase a ride? It would have looked a bit better than that render. Some of those banking transitions were OMFG. haha. Itll be one heck of a ride. Next time I am in Florida after its built Im making a special trip there.
