OMFG, this ride is going to be so awesome! (Only 91 days left until I get to ride it.)

Oh, and coolbeans, I just saw your question about what kind of camera I have... it is a mini-dv camcorder, which means that it takes video on a tape, not digitally. The photo camera part is digital, though.

This has been discussed already... the layout is too large for the NL template.

^The template is too small.

BTW, I can't follow up with my promise to take a video on May 7. I lost about 4000 bucks to car repairs and the IRS, so I had to cancel my trip. I might make the WWS day at Holiday World, though...

I will be there the entire opening weekend. You guys missed the crazy pictures...

http://www.thegravitygroup.com/voyage/03-06/index.htm

New TGG pictures. Reveals some of the new stuff...like this:

http://www.thegravitygroup.com/voyage/0 ... ges/21.htm


you enter that from the camera view which means that hill he is standing on is...yes - wrongly banked hill. Can be seen here:
http://www.thegravitygroup.com/voyage/0 ... ges/17.htm

Look to the far left youll see they inserted a quick opposite banked hill before the 1st 90.


More sexiness- train from left to right:

That opposite banked turn looks so awesome!!![shocked][shocked][shocked] I think it's so cool how they add those little unexpected touches to make the ride even better! Now I seriously can't wait until memorial day weekend to ride this! It has already replaced Millennium Force as my #1 coaster[^]

^Yea, it cant possibly be not as good as some other ride. There are a select few that I think would maybe try to compete but fail miserably.

Holy Freaking GOD! Where did THAT come from? What are those Gravity Group guys smoking? Damn... this thing is getting more and more insane by the second. I don't see how it's physically possible for this coaster not to crack my #1 spot once I ride it. I just can't believe what is happening in Indiana... this is like a coaster enthusiast's wet dream.
