coasterbill Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 So when people say Giovanola made only 2 coasters, that's just in the US, right? No. This entire thread is about a coaster that doesn't exist. The thread was made to confuse someone in hopes that they would bump it a decade later to see if the coaster that everyone was talking about for 3 pages actually exists since that makes way more sense than performing a 2 second Google search which would answer your question. Edit: Or checking RCDB, the website that was linked in the post right before yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I performed that little Google Search and found this link below. And it turns out Anaconda was indeed a Giovanola ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I find it kind of a shame that two out of three Giovanolas are hypers. It just seems like their design style would have great for looping coasters, considering the great things I have heard about Anaconda. They seemed to really lack the right style to build hypers, but I can imagine that this style would kick some serious ass on any looping coaster.

sfriday1998 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 ^^Yeah, but they went bankrupt in 2001 after Titan at SFOT and closed three years later, which really stinks because Anaconda looks SWEET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Gold Reef City has been at or near the top of my bucket list for a while, mainly because of Anaconda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Look at all of you wanting that anaconda so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Oh yeah... this thing. It's so far off, and yet it looks like such a great little coaster. I almost never travel outside of my part of the country, let alone other continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm more intrigued by Tower of Terror. But Anaconda looks like a Batman the Ride inspired layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRice92 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Gold Reef City has been at or near the top of my bucket list for a while, mainly because of Anaconda. Same here, I love coasters heavy on positive G's. Anaconda along with Tower of Terror makes this park look awesome for a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Several years ago in IAAPA's Fun World magazine there was an article about the park that stated they were working on buying a second train for Anaconda. On RCDB the train in picture 43 looks different from the train in the early pictures, so clearly they bought at least one new train. Does anyone know: Who built the new train? Do they run two trains now, and if so did they buy two new trains or still use the old train as a second train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've been there!! It was winter for them, and during the time ToT was SBNO, so I was DYING to ride that and the shuttle loop, but both were closed. However, we waited a really long time for Anaconda and it didn't disappoint! It's been so long for me (2006 I believe) but I just remember the theming was some of the best I've ever seen for a coaster, let alone an invert. The helix around the rock was awesome to watch and ride! In my naiveté, I thought this coaster was a B&M until someone told me it wasn't. It looked just like one! I have pics of it somewhere, I'll try to look for them over Christmas break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm not sure whats so appealing about this thing? It looks like a Batman rip off with a double helix at the end. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 ^ It's the double helix. . . It gets us every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've always been intrigued by this ride. It and Tower of Terror just look like a lot of fun, especially with that double helix. And hey, once I get on Anaconda, then I can say that I've ridden all the Giovanolas ever made. All three of them. But sadly, that won't be anytime soon.

AJK Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm not sure whats so appealing about this thing? It looks like a Batman rip off with a double helix at the end. Am I missing something? It's not an ordinary double helix. That helix banks past 90 degrees if you look very closely. There are some offride videos on YouTube that confirm this. Also notice the speed with which it traverses the zero-g roll. Lots of whip. Looks better than Batman for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I've never ridden an Giovanola coaster, but they look super-smooth. Can anyone whose ridden one shed some light on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Well, they look a lot like B&M's, but they're not the same. They're pretty smooth, but not perfectly so. If you're the sort of person who complains about a B&M rattle, you'd probably hate them. If you are, however, a normal human being, then they're fine.
