better_by_design Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 This will undoubtedly get me to visit (and drag friends/family with me) Fun Spot again once it opens... which, in the end, is the whole point, right? Great layout, very aggressive, twisty, and hopefully the hops deliver great airtime... this could be an excellent smaller coaster, which, as we all know, can easily beat the heck out of the bigger rides when done right. Excited to see this ambition from Fun Spot to differentiate themselves in the Orlando market! Good luck and many successes to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoaster Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I agree with the posts. I think this looks like a very good use of height and space. Great addition to Fun Spot as it tries to steer in a different direction! I'm also interested to see how this hybrid structure does in Florida (in a good way).

hippidude Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 this looks awesome i love the double up double down part. it looks amazing. i wish i lived in flordia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPup44 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The twisting first drop looks like the coasters I used to build on RCT3. And the turnaround looks awesome. A lot packed into a short ride and since the demise of the Dania Beach Hurricane, it's good to see another power-packed woodie coming to Florida. Can't wait to ride!

UrbanLegend Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The entire layout looks like the sideswipe alley section of Lightning Racer, which is my favorite part of that whole ride. I'd love to get down there and ride it sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrzyjames Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo234 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 This ride definitely looks "Prowler-like," which is OK by me. Good to see more airtime hills on a GCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrlittle Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looks awesome. Will be very interested to ride it next year. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It even looks as if there's a bit of trick track there at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondthepalace Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProwlerPrey Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) 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%! Edited May 29, 2012 by jedimaster1227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan1127 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yikes, that track renders strangely in AutoCAD sometimes. I'm sure Fun Spot will post some more as we get some prettier images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 2000 feet long with a hight of 75 feet? Should be a good length ride, and those hills... i love me some curvy hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looks amazing! Especially for a small place like that. Just another reason to head down to Orlando! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjune4991 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonskeep Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
