coasterguy618 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Is Ravine Flyer II a GG coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yes. Damn, just the bents they have up now make it look awesome. I'm torn between doing a Texas trip for Boardwalk Bullet or a PA trip for this (and a few others that I want)... mmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I can't wait to ride this next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Wooo, finally some construction! Looking forward to the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster05 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 One of my favaorite parks with, hopefully, a signature coaster should reaaly help this place get on the National map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 For as long as this has been talked about, I find it amusing that this might actually open before The Flying Turns at Knoebel's. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Of course, it's always hard to tell without actually riding the thing, but this definitely looks like my kind of ride. I'm starting to think about a trip to this new-to-me park next year, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Looks like a fair bit has been done since I was there in May. It's been long overdue, so I hope it turns out well for Waldameer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I cant wait to ride this next year! I cant wait till we can see the new trains too! ^That is Knobels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim S. Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I've heard that they decided not to use the 1-bench trains because they don't want to take a chance on anything else going wrong with their plans for this coaster. I don't know if it's official though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 This coaster when its finished will look great. Deffinetly a must ride. This might be the must useless post ever on TPR. Congrats to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadley Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I am torn on this one too. I've been thinking about the Texas trip, but this coaster is really grabbing my attention. My wife and I went up near Erie before in '99 on our way to Niagara Falls and Toronto...we may have to think about re-visiting that trip again as a possible family vacation next year. Ravine Flyer II, CW's new coaster, plus all the credits I didn't get up there in '99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to you. Was that comment really necessary? Anyway, I'm so glad that this park is only an hour away from my camp! I hope they are using the single bench trains, if they don't, this coaster will probably age badly and be rough and unenjoyable in only a matter of a few years.

Congrats to you. Was that comment really necessary? Yes, I think it is necessary to point out to members when they make an unnecessary post. It is one thing to see something that exists and point out that it looks great. It is quite another to speculate how great something will look when it is complete. Commenting on how sketches and designs makes sense but saying an uncompleted rides will look great is USELESS. For the record, I'm looking forward to riding Ravine Flyer II but will not speculate on the greatness or look of the ride until I ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to you. and you proceeded to beat it by posting one that was even more useless -- Congrats to you too! Back to topic. where exactly on site is this construction occurring and have they started to work on the bridge that will go across the road? To me, THAT will be the major thing of this construction. I would almost think they would have to build the bridge at night so to not disturb traffic in and out of the state park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one for argueing because it goes nowhere, but I must correct something. Most of us who've been keeping a watchful eye on this project already know what it's going to look like when it's done because a 3D rendering was already posted in another topic related to this coaster. Hence the guy saying it will look even better in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadley Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I can see that many are looking at RF2 for it's criss-cross section over the highway, but this ride is going to be seriously twisted in sections. Especially in the second half of the ride it appears RF2 will be making some serious turnarounds. While it won't be an airtime monster, it looks like it will provide some nice pops of air . And according to the illustration I've been looking at this thing will be a minute and a half long, and hit 57mph. '08 will definently find me visiting Waldameer at some point!

In the Train turn around area. And down the hill and across the street. And no they have not started on the brige besides some steel driven into the ground.

CoasterFanatic Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Oh hell yeah! I have been waiting for a coaster like this to be so close. Hopefully it will live up to the design and hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only been to the park once, and it was sort of an accident that we even "found" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thank you for coronating me as the winner of the most useless post. Do I get a trophy? I'm sure the trophy will look great! Nope, no trophy -- but you do get this nifty button! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I think Ravine Flyer II is going to be a 300 ft. gigacoaster. You can tell by the footers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
