prozach626 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 It's taking forever. At this rate, it will only be open a couple years before SFSTL finishes their carrousel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanthonyam Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I'm assuming this will be ready opening day 2023?? They have plenty of time now off season to finish it. Testing, inspections, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I can completely understand not wanting him to film their top secret construction project. #willstillopenbeforeSFSTLcarousel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Rumor is Cornball and Hurricane (in dire need) are slated for Gravity Group work. Long overdo, hope it happens. The current owners inherited a mess, they're working on getting everything together. Let's give em props. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Coaster Man Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 If that is true, that is amazing. I visited for my first ever time this season (opening weekend). Cornball was getting work done so I don't have the credit. Hoosier was incredibly bland with a couple rough spots. I'd love to see what GG can do!

I'd love to see what GG can do! cornball is a very fun little coaster. Some prefab GG track should make it elite again. Hoosier on the other hand is a very pretty meandering ride with no real forces. If gravity group can reprofile some of the hills and turns to fit their style then it could be good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales2 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Great news about the wooden coasters. What is the status of Triple Loop though? It's at the top of my list for a 2023 roadtrip, but at this point I'm wondering if they'll ever get it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I just tried out GG's work at Kings Island last week. Since the layers are on their side, it's a stiffer track.. and it feels as such. It's not like brand new wood coaster track, it's got a hardness to it. Not sure how that will go over on already steel-framed rides ... too much stiffness leads to worse rougness later. But hey, maybe GG has that all figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hopefully they find something less stiff, like RMC steel topper track or a balls-deep steel I-box. People seem to think that's soft enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 So is that relocated coaster opening this year? I am finally going out to SF Great America and this is probably the only time I'll be remotely even semi near the area lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Something about calling this coaster the "All-American" after it was made in Germany, and then operated in Germany, England, Malaysia, and Mexico just makes me laugh! Glad they are getting it going though! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Soundtrack is .... catchy. All American Rah Rah Rah kind of thing. Wait till non-park site riders find out, it was European built, raised and toured with...... Talkin' About a Revolution! Still, nice to find out it's moving closer to me, lol. It's an awesome coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
