Regarding today's incident with wind:
At around 12:30 today, a gale-force wind swept through the Sevenum area. The wind blew over 13 bents of the lift structure, but thankfully all employees were off-site eating lunch at the time of damage.
Initial inspections of the damage reveal that the foundation and anchors are intact, and most of the lumber contained in the affected bents is salvageable. We will have to replace several large legs and batters with new material.
It is important to note that a coaster is not as strong during the construction process as it is when completed, since all supporting batters, bracing and track are not yet in place.
We hope to have all affected areas rebuilt within a week or so.
Again, we are blessed that no employees were injured during this unforseen event.

That is sad news, but atleast it did not collapse when there was a train on the track.
A coaster is at it's weakest when only the structure is there with no track. I hope they can re-enforce it so the woodie can take the strong winds in that area of Holland.
I wish GCI all the best with rebuilding the rest of "Troy" and look foward to riding this lovely looking woodie later this year.
