RCT3Bross Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I have to admit that looks like a lot of fun. Surely a coaster like no other out there.
Nwstone Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Regarding the 2nd American perk to get this, I could see a six flags park receive it or more likely Fun Spot America.
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Anyone else notice that the music, graphics, and sound effects in the annimation video are very Six Flag-ish? I'm sure logic would just say the same graphics firm used for previous Six Flags annimations was used for this. However there is a rumored 2nd launched El Loco allegedly headed for a U.S. park for 2016. With Six Flags filing a trade mark for "Gale Force 7" and the eerie similarities in this video and previous Six Flags animations, can't help but wonder if the 2nd version of this ride will end up in a smaller Six Flags park. I know it's a wild predicition, but something just struck me about this video. UNLESS this project was previously planned for a Six Flags park and cancelled last minute. Again just a wild guess on my part and pure speculation, not stating this as fact or anything. I agree with this. With Six Flags filing a similar name, and this using very Six Flags-ey animation, I could definitely see this at a Six Flags park. Considering they had success with Batman at SFFT, I think it's very likely for SF to go with a compact S&S again.
cfc Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 It looks like Tempesto and El Loco had a baby--which is not a bad thing.
larrygator Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I will immediately become the best coaster on the Jersey Shore. Looks fun, I hope that it will be comparable to Sky Rocket since I love Sky Rocket. Edited August 5, 2015 by larrygator
terdferg Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I always thought ocean city's first "real" coaster would go to Gillian's and I never thought it would be a launch. I can't wait to check this out.
BlahBlahson Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Yesssssss. I needed a good reason to make a third trip to the Wildwood beach ultimate tournament next summer, this and playing a few of those boardwalk mini golf courses are a great one.
PixelRush Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Just boarded the hype train... This may beat out Sky Rocket II! I might try to visit if I can, since it looks absolutely stunning!
cfc Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I will immediately become the best coaster on the Jersey Shore. Looks fun, I hope that it will be comparable to Sky Rocket since I love Sky Rocket. Agreed. Sky Rocket is a great "little" ride, and something like Gale Force looks like a good ride for a small park without a lot of space to spare.
Keetz Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 It looks so messed up in the best possible way. A great addition for a Jersey Shore park. It'll be on my radar for the next time I'm in that area!
Mertens S. Elias Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 It'll be kind of sad because I believe that it means that the Python and the Flitzer will be removed to do so. I've seen them for sale on intermarketridegroup.com and italintl.com and a few others (overpriced by the way) and I thought that that meant that either Playland was closing, which would have been sad, or they were getting a big new ride, which it looks like they went with door number two. It looks awesome! That one roll type thing at the top looks insane.
Mertens S. Elias Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I saw this on youtube in the comments and some person said this and it perfectly sums up this coaster, "go home roller coaster, you're drunk."
boldikus Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 It'll be kind of sad because I believe that it means that the Python and the Flitzer will be removed to do so. I've seen them for sale on intermarketridegroup.com and italintl.com and a few others (overpriced by the way) As Intimidator305 mentioned, they were sold already. Besides, Morey's still maintains its Flitzer after all these years and the thing runs great and that's 30 minutes south, and is anyone really going to miss a Painfari looper!? Gale Force is a huge upgrade and a big move for this park. I'm stoked!
cfc Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 ^Yeah, I have trouble getting worked up over the potential loss of an old Pinfari ride.
viking86 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 This ride looks like so much fun, should be a great addition to the park!
Ed Farmer Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Built by S&S based on a Premier design/concept- can't go wrong with that. More often than not, these compact one/two car train eurofighter-esque rides look great, but underwhelm. Verily. I get the feeling this one will break that cycle. Great addition to a seaside park- looking forward to giving it a spin.
KBrylczyk Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Coaster layout image Holy crap, I didn't even notice the barrel roll before the final dive. I blame the video's god-awful editing. Awesome!
NickLikesCoasters Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Won't be missing Flitzer and Python. They have never been world-class coasters, and are (very rough) clones. Python especially (it hurts just to think about it ) As someone who visits Ocean City multiple times a year, I must say I'm very, very excited for this addition. Seems like a lot of fun!
Quetzal Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Coaster layout image Holy crap, I didn't even notice the barrel roll before the final dive. I blame the video's god-awful editing. Awesome! There is no such barrel roll on Gale Force, as the layout image posted above on this page, is not Gale Force's layout. For those of you who doubt my statement, here's a screenshot from the announcement video that shows the entire layout:
boldikus Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 ^ Because as we all know, renderings are always 100% accurate. ^
Coasterguy21 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) ^^Is it just me or does anyone else actually see the Barrel Roll (or 540 Corked Roll as they call it) in the video screenshot posted? Because I believe I do, in fact, see the Corked Roll right before the final dive. EDIT: Nevermind, it is a bit off. Its more of a roll right into the Raven Turn. Edited August 5, 2015 by Coasterguy21
SFOG1991 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 The layout in the video still is much different than the image posted with the stats... so which is it? I much prefer the image with the layout and stats to what I see in the animation. Both are huge winners though.
Quetzal Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Hmm... I wonder which layout is correct. The one with the "Gale Force" logo that was taken from the announcement video, or the one with the "S&S" logo with no mention or indication that it is Gale Force. Hmm...................
