4,379 ft. long

150 ft. 540 roll inversion
140 ft. second drop
103 ft. dive loop

I was surprised at the fact that this ride would pull only 3.6g's.

Yes she is very re-rideable! Not harsh at all. I think the more modern B&M's are less intense, so this is reflective of that. Except those last two airtime hills are over -1.0 G's for sure.

There are parts of the ride that could use some work shaping wise (drop, immelmann, dive loop), but overall a very fun ride! Good work.

Okay, I'm intrigued I was hoping to build this kind of hype for Valkyrie when it was early. Now it's late and nearly dead lol. I want to see this

This is gonna be awesome along with "Scourge" (NL2 track)!

REBEL GORGE. Coming soon!

[Paradox]

This looks great! Can't wait for the release!

I say props to those swooping turns near the lake that represent the track beauty!

TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. Rebel Gorge will be released sometime this month. It will be a surprise.



2. CLOUD9 POV IS NOW LIVE! While this is unofficial, this should give some attention to those who have been waiting patiently to "ride"!

Amid the Lana and Demi influence Marina still takes center stage, lmao. Cloud 9 looks like a nifty mash up of I305 and B&M sensibility and I'm digging the Rebel Gorge aesthetic.

Make a ride themed to every song on Ultraviolence please

I designed a giga last year named SteelHeart, and a lyric within "Forget" is "Sick of my small heart made of steel..." I thought it would be funny to play with that since Cloud9, in my mind, trumps SteelHeart; it's like the next step of my gigas haha. And yes, Cloud9 was meant to be B&M comfortable but recognizable from an i305 POV.

Rebel Gorge was a fluke project and I can't wait for you all to see it!

I did a ride called Ultraviolence in the past, however I lost it. Tbh it was not that great. Any requests specifically?

I still remember that track! Great bump!

What ride are we most looking forward to seeing and riding from Rebel Gorge? Gorge Runner, Joan of Arc, or Rebelle? Tell me your suggestions and maybe I'll let you all have a sneak peek...

Gorge Runner because old school terrain wooden coasters are the best (Boulder Dash ftw).

Will 4/9/16 be the opening day for those tracks or a new ride announcement?

Oh s**t, looks like Rebel Gorge will have a big a** "oops" in it!

REBEL GORGE
Releasing tomorrow, 4.9.16

The names of each ride were pulled from three ???rebellious??? individuals:

1. Gorge Runner ??? based on the legend of Pheidippides, the Greek messenger who ran from Marathon to Athens. Pheidippides didn???t really suit the ride, so I went with Gorge Runner instead since it seems to ???run??? the long distance of the gorge.

2. Joan of Arc ??? a heroine of France during the Hundred Years??? War (pretty obvious)

3. Rebelle ??? this one is the most complicated. Louise Michel was a woman imprisoned in France during a time of rebellion against the government for speaking out against the current political system. She was exiled to New Caledonia as punishment for her ???crimes??? and one of her nicknames was ???La Rebelle???, inspiring the ride name.

^ I find the track name "Rebelle" impressive as it shows her real strength!
