larrygator Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hartley said Playland held a contest on Facebook in which people submitted name ideas for the second coaster. Hartley said the company narrowed them down to five potential names this week – RumRunner, SurfRider, The RedRaider, WaveRunner and WildWaves. I guess my none of my names were chosen. I don't remember the specific names I suggested, but all my suggestions mentioned Surf, Runner, Dune, Rider or Waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Well it looks like they have been pouring more footers. Possibly for the station or maybe for the kiddie coaster going around Gale Force? Other than that just a few more supports have gone up but no track or anything really exciting yet.

Password121 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I love the Millennium Force color scheme on this coaster. Excited to see how it rides and if this might be the new Superman/Tempesto at smaller regional parks at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Nothing major but we have some more supports in place and a crane is doing some stuff today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbatboy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 ^I can't help but think if Gale Force is successful, we'll be seeing more of these installed at smaller parks, piers, etc; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geartooth90 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 ^ Don't worry about posting updates, any updates are worth it. I find this a little more of an interesting build than Valravn or any other B&M construction. Just don't know the order that they will build it, not unlike a B&M which is brakes, station, lift and then the rest or the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Not much progress today or yesterday thanks to all the rain but Screamscape posted some photos sent in by a local reader and we have a nice close up shot of that twisted element they have half completed. Wow! Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 ^ LOL there is activity if you look closely at the webcams, people are moving about on the ground, I guess they are just not working high up with the wind and rain. Chance for T-storms today too. Kind of lame to see a halt to the progress but it looks like the rain is going to break tomorrow so hopefully we'll see some more movement.

boldikus Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) The rain has cleared and we have a giant piece of track being installed right now. #geekout edit: OK maybe not, there seems to be some confusion @ the construction site as to what to do with that piece LMAO Edited February 25, 2016 by boldikus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 ^ They seem to have it sorted now. I'm guessing it was turned the wrong direction. They had it in place, put it back on the ground, now its back up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
