GaleForce Roller Coaster Ocean City New Jersey

A new coaster announced that looks awesome!

Come experience the GaleForce Roller Coaster at Playland's Castaway Cove in Ocean City New Jersey Summer 2016!!!

125 Feet, Speed 64mph, Triple Launch, and 7 ride elements!!!

Woah. S&S. I'm really impressed. Wide cars and sharp twists. What a nice ride for a place like that. I'll want to make it out there now.

This is f&#%ing incredible.... everything the Sky Rocket II should have been.

Finally a new coaster that's worth while in NJ. We haven't had anything really good since El Toro.

This absolutely hypes me up! Thanks Deere!

Ah, I see they got the Jersey shore weather down perfect.

Also can we talk about how god ugly that train is?

I think they should have tried to make a better capacity train.

And here we go.

That looks super bizarre, yet interesting. I wonder how that beyond vertical drop is going to work with that launch. Should mean there is a chance of various speeds down that drop.

Consider that there are much taller rides (more variable speeds), with longer trains (larger variation in forces between front and back). The tightness of the apex here I think will be trickier than the beyond vertical drop. It does have that trim going up that might be there to help the speeds on top of that first element maintain more consistency.

I feel like by this point, magnetic launches have advanced enough to begin these more complex launches and maneuvers! I'm quite excited to see this completed and operating!

Ah yes, saw this ride was being worked on in my latest issue of First Drop! Looks fantastic.

The ride looks pretty interesting!

I get a black screen and only audio.

This has happened since youtube updated their video player appearance.

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

The video and layout picture do not agree, lol.

I'm actually impressed. (I haven't been impressed with a new NJ coaster since El Toro as well). Looks like a great S&S with compactness, tight apexes, and some wonky transitions. The transitions are so insane that at first I thought the animation was inaccurate but I realized it's a VIP animation and they're usually right on the nail with accuracy

I don't think that capacity will be an issue here.

I really love the look of that element after the beyond vertical drop; it's like Helix's inverted top hat but twisted 90 degrees farther back in. It seems like a really refreshing take on a top hat!

I was wondering if someone would ever buy one of these when the NL video of the various S&S ripoffs of Premier's ride popped up on the S&S Sansei youtube channel a year ago.

No it's S&S who are designing the ride It's a clone design..

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.

Ah my mistake - I misread the post completely haha

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