Largest GCI to China (Mountain Flyer)

Anyone else loving how stretched out the ride is?

does ANYONE ELSE realize this ride is 30ft taller than anything they have ever built before? Using NL as a benchmark, itll be going at least a full 10mph faster than its fastest coaster theyve built, Troy with the companies only 100ft drop. This is 130ft. For a company that the average speed of their rides is somewhere in the 40s, this is a HUGE step.

Remember that about their coasters. They normally reach no faster than 50 and average between 35-45 the rest of the way. This ride will reach 62ish and probably average 45-55. So your elements will need to be spread out some more.

So take into considering the speeds and yes, the track does need to sprawl. Adding 10mph to any of their existing coasters would be pretty significant.

Thank you. GCI knows what they are doing...this ride is going to be sick.

Been on almost 400 coasters now and I have 3 GCIs in my top 10, just sayin

Double Flyby FTW!
BTW noticed how sharp the tunnel in the background is,the turn there will be awesome!
Edit:Looks like FTF was faster,yay!

This looks INSANE!

This picture truly made me go HOLY SH*T!

2 of those tracks the train will be crawling, though. The one on the left is after the final brakes. Looks like youll go through the transfer house and do a 180 into the station. The track thats the 3rd (starting from the left) is, Im sure based on the angle and no banking of that turn, coming out of the station and heading to the lift.

But that leaves 2 fly bys and a Voyage-esque near station hit as the train leap frogs from one side to the other.

So what's special about this, other than how it takes up a lot of space? It looks really stretched out and lame, considering how most GCI's are boring as hell anyways.

So like... boring because they don't beat the ever living crap out of you? You probably think B&M is boring too, right?

God love the overwhelming number self titled enthusiasts' grandiose opinions. Somehow when we ride a certain number of roller coasters or join a certain number of forums we lose our appreciation for a good ride.

No, because they're so slow and completely forceless with no air at all? They're not fun, pull that pickle out of your ass man.

Case and point, snowboarders are dicks lolz

Kentucky Rumbler looks to be one of GCI's best. Hopefully I can make it to Beech Bend next year.

^^ LOL Pulling from another thread about snowboarders, nice.

I like how he assaulted him with the "Because they dont beat the crap out of you" even though I didnt see that anywhere. But anywhoo...

Thunderhead - lots of airtime AND lats.

Thunderhead > Prowler > Renegade > Evil Knievel > Kentucky Rumbler > Terminator.

That tunnel had got be LOUD LOUD and more LOUD!!

Pacing looks a bit slow at the start, but near the end it looks insane!
