Mine Blower - GG Wooden for Fun Spot America 2017 POV!

^ Our biggest question about that 360 barrel roll... it's been solved! Thanks so much!

[Paradox]

Here's a neat render that shows the force distribution on the ride and also the full layout.

I think that photo of the barrel roll is my favourite of this ride yet!

What a beautiful roll! Thanks those elegant supports!

[Paradox]

Trains!

[Coasterkidmwm]

The train still looks pretty eh but it's way less bad than I was envisioning it.

[Paradox]

And the track is now complete!

[Coasterkidmwm]

That is quite weird. The lack of symmetry irks me lol

THE ZERO-G SUPPORTS AREN'T MID-CREST ON THE ZERO-G ROLL F*CKKKKKKKKKKKK

Good, good.... Let the OCD flow through you.

Looks like quite a slow rotation. Might be some hangtime in that roll as well.

Wow the layout makes me think of... big pieces of cheesecake! White supports and a REALLY dark brown track! What "yummy" elements! Love the look of Mine Blower - I'll be blown away! xD

[Paradox]

Take a look at the transfer switch here. Looks like GG have switched to trackless storage.

You can see the first tunnel taking shape with supports after the big overbanked turn into the twisted hill. I'm predicting a July 4th weekend opening for this ride.

[Dirk_Ermen]

Is it just me or does it look like you'd enter the roll with a short pop of airtime?

[Paradox]

The park has confirmed that the ride will open on June 23rd! That's very close considering not all the running rails are complete and the ride has yet to complete a test run.

I know where I'll be that day :9

[Paradox]

^ Nice! Is that wooden catwalk beside the top of the roll permanent?

[Paradox]

I assume so.

This looks way way more epic than the announcement videos and pics led me to believe. It will probably be a fantastic little coaster.

I swear if this ends up beating Mystic for best new ride of 2017 I WILL BE PISSED.

[Coasterkidmwm]

That catwalk is hilarious.

[Paradox]

Testing!

Okay... the back row is going to be dumb awesome. I want to ride this little mother f%$#er.

I've just got two simple thoughts. Transitions are much quicker than I imagine! The train is much faster than I (personally) guess! Looks like MB's going to be a "true" crowd puller!

I say thanks for creating one epic woodie!
