Texasbest2015 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What would u prefer ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Maybe it's an Intamin Impulse coaster. That seems to fit the description of "taller and faster" while still being a similar ride. I agree with the comments above of Gerstlauer becoming the new Schwarzkopf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasbest2015 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What kind of coaster is that ? A launched like full throttle or a boomerang which us not what I want ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What kind of coaster is that ? A launched like YOLOcoaster or a boomerang which us not what I want ! Wicked Twister is an example. So are Possessed at Dorney and Steel Venom at Valleyfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasbest2015 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Those are nice choices ! I like those I hope one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel1231 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I did some research on Gerstlauer's website. Looks like they specialize in trains. They made the new trains for Super Dooper Looper at Hershey Park. If Grand Texas wanted to, they could ask Gerstlauer to recreate Greezed Lightnin' for them. I doubt this would happen, but Gerstlauer could make their own Anton-style coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I would not be surprised if the Coaster in question is an Intamin Impulse. There is not one close to Houston/Texas correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The only ones in the US are the Wicked Twister at CP, Possessed at Dorney Park, Steel Venom at Valley Fair, Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great America, and V2: Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Vonni Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 In that case, it would be a Ride that most visitors will have not experienced. If that is the route they go it would be nice to have a twist on both spikes like Wicked Twister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasbest2015 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I hope it's a ceder park ride like twisted that would be awsome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Intamin impulse would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I love to see an Intamin coaster at the park but there are many companies that build launch coasters if the park decides to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ^ *cough* Pony Express *cough* For a park like this, I'd rather guess a Gerstlauer launched Euro Fighter like Karacho, a Mack launched coaster smaller than Bluefire but bigger than Manta SWSD or something like Freischütz from Maurer.

kailisun98 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Perhaps a V2 clone? I feel like V2 is the best of all the Intamin Impulses that I've ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasbest2015 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If there at this stage already with grezzed lighting they must be in stages with rides contractors right now we got thus one which I hope is a new launch coaster or something like v2 or possesed or wicked sister from cp, also we still got a woodie to build a steel coaster which I think there gonna purchase time machine a mine coaster too and kiddie coaster and a drop tower !! I hope we got variety ! And having Gm chuck Hendrix running it he knows the power players in ride contractors or what companies ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallDuell Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If Texasbest2015's age is accurate, I can only assume he's typing on a mobile phone while driving an 18 wheeler or has some sort of disability (no shot intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^ Or texting with voice recognition. But back on topic: It will be a lot of fun watching this happen. I love watching projects come to fruition. Like the Banshee construction - it has been a lot of fun watching it go from groundbreaking to assembled. Now, hopefully, we can watch that with an entire park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I hope this project rolls forward no matter what coasters they get. It will be cool to watch the progress as it is built and give another reason to make a stop in Houston when it is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I sure hope this does come to fruition. I am moving to the Houston area next month and it will be nice to have a park within an hours drive of my house. I know there is Galveston which is nice but its so small.
