Awesomeness! About to dig up those minutes to see what the conditions it's subject to. If you were dying to know what happened during the meeting, here it is.

Just as I suspected, noise concerns... I have a feeling it will breeze right through this time around.

I am certain everyone else here knows, so pardon my ignorance, but where is this coaster to be located in the park?

Pretty much where the Whizzer stood, surrounding the Pictorium building and over behind the Sky Coaster and the splash flume. The first drop was to wrap around the park's signature Star Tower. I'm assuming the layout and everything's going to be the same, just perhaps some measures to be taken to keep the noise from breaking the peak noise level.

Further reading the minutes, it looks like our favorite CGA neighbors were there (Prudential). Since it was approved, I can assume Prudential won't step in the way again. By reading everything, it looks like the park may finally be seeing that green light to get things rolling with the project. Anyone else read the minutes?

I found this (well, rediscovered it) a few weeks ago, created by Patman, a No Limits rendition of the GCI. I myself am working on a version of it as well.


YouTube Videolink

Based on his rendition of it, this looks like it could be an awesome coaster!
