Tmcdllr Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 That just looks......AMAZING! Those turns are just plain SICK! And the sound it makes....AWESOME! Is this the future of wood coasters? Because if it is, I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-M Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 That just looks......AMAZING! Those turns are just plain SICK! And the sound it makes....AWESOME! Is this the future of wood coasters? Because if it is, I like it! I hope that it becomes a solution for parks with wooden coasters that have become rough and nearly unridable (like Mean Streak) so that they can make the layout more exciting and market it as a new attraction.

QBalde Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Would love to help but have not owned a working tv in over 15 years. Did at least manage to get this DL'd for offline viewing. Kind of like "coaster crack" until the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texcoaster Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I still haven't found a link to the commercial, but this is the best-quality POV footage I've seen so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Cold Medina Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm not for SURE going, but being Catholic I should be able to pull it off. It's convincing my parents that will be a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webgoof Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 oh, I'll be there with bells on! Ok maybe not bells, but you know... Friday will definitely be a day that I appreciate having a Discover card, to zip right through security! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 ^I'm still laughing at the fact that they still call it a wooden coaster. Otherwise, good commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsdude360 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Only 3 more full days! Who else is going on Friday? Media day is on Thursday so we might get some more early reviews before it opens to the public on Friday! BTW, l'll be there on Friday, bright and early! I plan to be the first person through the gate!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcfreak417 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'll be there Thursday morning for a few hours for media day. I'll hopefully be able to provide reviews at some point. I'm driving up from Austin Wednesday night, but I have a banquet to attend Thursday night and a test Friday, so I probably won't be able to get a review posted until Thursday evening.

Rastuso Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah, but you can do it. I would say a more reasonable goal is to be on the first train out. Although that still means hundreds rode it before you. I sucessfully was on the first train out on Batman at SFGAm. And that was without even seeing a test train go to understand just what the hell the coaster did. Talk about a mind-blowing ride. I'll be posting updates at some point later this week... -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWaco Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I was there for the first opening of the Texas Giant 21 years ago, I think we were in the 30th car to go up. My plan is to be there friday morning too. When the Giant first opened I believe they let Season Pass holders get in earlier to ride it, but it's been a while. I guess they won't do that this time. Thanks to all for the informative and helpful posts. See ya'll friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It'll be interesting to see what procedures are used for deciding who rides fist on Friday. Can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuso Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Same as always: Who can run the fastest without really running enough to get in trouble by the person with the rope, yet getting far enough ahead that when all hell breaks loose, and chaos ensues, you are in the head of the pack, and successfully run to the entrance. Ahhhh, good times. -RO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastuso Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm starting to wonder how many are going to be there. They handed out a lot on Facebook today. Also wondering how long it lasts . It starts God awful early, that's for sure. Does the internet even work at 4 AM? -RO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
