Troy @ Toverland - update pg 11

i must say wow, for a faily smallish park toverland has really done well for itself there. that really looks amazing, cannot wait to ride it later this year with you hyyyper[;)]

Wow, GCI is really going for more airtime in their coasters. This one looks great. It looks to have a great mix of high action and low-to-the-ground pacing. The first fan turn, looks like an egg, should be yummy.

Wow Hyyyper, looks like your going to get one hell of a ride.[:)]

Renegade looks better.[:p]

^Only because this one has a severe lack of airtime, I can hardly see much at all... It is clearly focused on lots of twisting.

What did you expect[:P] Toverland is a small park, but it is GCI after all[;)]

It does have little pops of air everywhere, mostly on transitions. I think it'll have way more air than you think.

Yea, and I see them incorporating those great transitional (and twisting) airtime whenever they can. I also see more just straight air hills than you are used too as well.

This design looks first class. Might ride way better than it looks too which would put it as one of the best IMO from a layout perspective.

Have you seen a pov of Thunderbird Real? Now that ride looks awesome. I was really impressed when I saw it. This looks great too, much better than Kentucky Rumbler. Never did like the majority of KR's design... too many of the same type curves. The transitions and most of it's hills, big and small, look good though on KR.

Yea, except the POV doesnt show me much - not a fan of the reverse POV. I cant find a proper one so if you know, pass the gold.

its offly short, but it does look like a blast. Especially the exit off of the first turn around: it looked like you would experience a pretty decent ammount of air time.[:)]

Not exactly hi quality, althouh bether than the reverse POV. Hopefully Alvey will uppload his POV sometime.

*me looking forward to riding Thunderbird, my first GCI next year[:)]

^ I was referring to the PowerPark GCI. I should have specified.

Wee! Airtime!

Well, airtime is not the thing you should expects from the coaster. I'm looking forward to the headchoppers:

^Trust me, there will be lots of airtime spots. Will be sustained? No, thats not usually GCI's type. But they usually have tons of spots of quick pops of good airtime. This ride looks to have plenty. Dont let it be decieving, I havent found many renderings to actually depict the ride accuratly.

Jeej, new photos!

Sorry for the badass pictures, but it was almost dark when i arrived:





The place where soon you can find a loooooooooot of concrete!







And all of that in 3d:






Greetings!

That's neat that they're showing the progress in art.

If I wasnt planning my own GCI, Id take a stab at recreating this ride properly.

Get in line

I need to shove you out of line then ;)

I wear size 13s and I know how to use them...
