Heres a better picture of the layout from Theme Park Thrillgeek on facebook!

Um, that's not GaleForce's layout, this is:

Yea... um those are actually the exact same layout if you look closely. The shaping is just not well animated.

Yea... um those actually aren't the same layout. While the first element is the same the rest of the ride isn't. Instead of a top hat after the first one it goes into a half banana roll thing and then goes down into an immelman, not a diveloop which the other render has, and Gale Force does not have the corked roll as it just goes into a dive loop.

^Correct. I'm gonna trust the "Gale Force Animation" rather than some blueprint that could be for any coaster S&S could be planning. It doesn't say Gale Force anywhere so I'm trusting the animation for what it's worth. It's very possible that the blueprint was the original concept and they revised it or used it as a starting point or something similar.

^The original render was for S&S's initial concept for their Launched El Loco design. I believe that was supposed to be their stock model but maybe they had to alter it in this case due to the ride's location.

I guess that this website will keep you amused as authors are referring to coaster details in an academic way. Nick (one of C101 (Coaster 101) members) he is also talking about another soon-to-be-named coaster that is going to wrap around Gale Force.

Their columns are worth reading all through and you will find them sophiscated.

Nice find lol240 - interested to see what they're going to wrap around Galeforce!

Trains on site

This ride's got really big seats to straaaaaap in!

[Coasterkidmwm]

That train looks a bit goofy. Hopefully it'll ride well and not end up like that horrible Thunderbolt thing in NYC.

Hm, that start somehow reminds me of another coaster, but I just don??t know which one......

(caugh,....Sky Scream,.....caugh,.....Tempesto,.....caugh,......Superman Ultimate Flight,.....caugh,.....Phobia,....caugh).
Lets??see when another manufacturer invents an inventive triple-forwards-and-backwards-launch. xD


But nice-looking layout nonetheless! Seems to be more fun than (one of its) ehm, "templates".

Yea Intamin has the most original layout of them all IMO.



Sarcasm obviously

Track going up

[Paradox]

Immelman is done

Isn't there supposed to be a barrel roll right before that? It doesn't look like theres room for it before it'd have to pull up.

No that's the other layout which was posted. This inversion will be underneath the tallest top hat.

wait there were two layouts?

AmatsuNL explained it pretty well to me:

Yeah it is indeed S&S but there are a couple differences between the 2 layouts; the original version posted by deere has a regular top hat after the beyond vertical drop instead of the twisting thing they have right now, and the last element is now just a regular dive loop instead of a flying snake dive thing.

People still believe that this is GaleForce's layout?





Here's a brief explanation on why it's not GaleForce's layout: It's not.

[Paradox]

More track in place!

The latest photo tells that Gale Force is not an image above!

[Paradox]

This immelman has some strange shaping!

The f...?

construction is pretty slow considering the mild winter we've had. But I'm glad its moving along at any rate. I'll keep my opinions until the finished product.

[Coasterkidmwm]

This should be interesting since the supports don't match the above rendering at all lol.

GaleForce's cars wouldn't fit on that layout anyway; they're way too big/long!

^ I don't think that they are telling lies about the height of Gale Force (125'). From the posted images it looks that tall. Inversions are quite different, though, lol.
