pkdcoaster Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Are the existing coasters still operating, I am doing a jersey shore trip and was gonna get the credits there. JEFF
SFOG1991 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................... Or you could just answer my question without being sarcastic. Anyways, I prefer the S&S rendering over the layout in the announcement video but both are much more than I would've expected from this park or any park in that area. Adding to my 2016 trip itinerary!!!
Mertens S. Elias Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 RCDB.com says that there is another coaster coming to this park along with Gale Force. "Few details on this second roller coaster have been released other than it said to wrap around the new for 2016 "GaleForce". The stating this as a steel, sit-down roller coaster above is just default settings and not to be considered accurate until the park provides more details."
Mertens S. Elias Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Guys, there's no point to argue, but based on what I've seen the ride video is the actual final layout. The concept art is old. It looks great though, so many flips and insane airtime moments into and out of those flips Also the trains/restraints look like the ones on Batman at SFFT...which I absolutely love so I hope this is the case. Those restraints do look comfortable. I think this will be the most anticipated roller coaster on the East Coast. I hope I can get out and ride it at some point.

Mertens S. Elias Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 My vote is a Vekoma Roller Skater. Or maybe it's another S&S of sorts, maybe one of their mine train concept.
ECZenith Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I am so excited to see two compact electromagnetic coasters coming to the east coast next year! I loved Tempesto and Gale Force looks even better! Between this and Phobia I already have two coasters within a 5 mile radius that are already quite thrilling and we haven't even gotten to the "big park's" announcements yet! It's just great in general to see a better quality of coaster coming to seaside parks like Iron Shark and now GF. Edit: pkdcoaster, Flitzer and Python are both still operating (Python kind of hurts so brace yourself...) Get those credits quick, they will both removed for Gale Force and the unknown coaster project for 2016. (which speculation seems to indicate will encompass the very vertical footprint of Gale Force) Edited August 6, 2015 by ECZenith
ImmelMatt Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 My first thought is someone at S&S has SERIOUS Sky Rocket II envy, got drunk one night, and woke up with a hangover and a rough design of this. It looks incredible and will hopefully bring some new coaster life to the Jersey shore.
canadianparkfan Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 ... Yet another skyloop Clone **Sigh**.... I like it! This one looks pretty sweet, almost like they mixed a Premier model and a euro fighter together. Always cool seeing the manufacturers try to outdo each other with their particular model/take on a ride concept.
Cmbgo12 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 This seems like something that would fit well with Canobie... Maybe they'll be in line sometime in the future?
terdferg Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 A small jersey shore park gets a coaster that I'm more excited about than what sfgadv is rumored to get.
strz Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I couldn't find a thread for this park, my apologies if there is one. Can mods move it there if so? Anyways, this is huge for this small park and should be a great addition. I'm excited to have one of these so close to home, maybe I will finally (after many failed attempts) check these Ocean City parks out once this is built! [attachment=0]1438774447_1.jpg[/attachment] I wonder if this will light a fire under Morey's A$$ to finally pull the trigger on their woodie or some sort of new coaster? Look at you getting a "headline" on the home page! Nice post and thanks for sharing!

Gnome Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Woah! Looks like its Premier's turn to rebuttal with a better skyloop model
Superbatboy Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Woah! Looks like its Premier's turn to rebuttal with a better skyloop model Shots fired!!! Battle of the American small footprint coasters!!!
Philrad71 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Looks like a lot of fun! Glad to see some of the boardwalk amusement parks getting some fun-looking hotness (Kemah, Ocean City, Pleasure Pier, etc) in recent years.

Oh God. I can only imagine.
Mertens S. Elias Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 This seems like something that would fit well with Canobie... Maybe they'll be in line sometime in the future? I think if they ever take out Canobie Corkscrew (which it looks like that will happen soon) I'm sure something like this will happen, but doesn't Canobie have a one hundred foot height limit?
JFrombaugh Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Looks like an awesome ride, kind of like a mix of S:UF/Tempesto and Iron Shark. Also, is that a "Banana Roll" at 0:13 in the video?
boldikus Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 From Playlands' Facebook Page: Today we broke ground on the first footing for the new Gale Force Coaster coming spring 2016!! — at Playland Castaway Cove.
Superbatboy Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Can't wait to see this fully erected and testing
DoinItForTheFame Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Can't wait to see this fully erected...
I305forever Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 ^^ If it popped some viagra it would be ready to go, but you would only be able to ride it for 4 hours and thats if you can handle the intensity for that long. Interesting coaster debate we're having here, huh?
