Speaking of which, there was a lot of equipment sitting in GA's overflow last weekend, including a bunch of white tents and towards the back of GA's main lot, there were some portable buildings set up. Perhaps for the new stadium, I'm guessing.

Back to the coaster, I'm just going to cross my fingers that Prudential doesn't have something else dirty up their sleeves. In the mean time, I'm going to keep checking back at the permit site, and checking the land when at the park to see if there's any changes starting to happen.

Maybe they're going to equip the Prudential building with plastic "scream shields" ala Maliboomer

Haha! Those things were quite hideous, looked like some kind of hospital equipment/something used to shield visitors from patients spontaneously puking all over them. Perhaps there will be personal scream shields strapped onto easily distracted workers inside the office to help muffle the noise.

The tents and fanfare in the parking lot are all for the 49ers stadium ground breaking this Thursday.

It's great that it was withdrawaled.

Also, I don't want to visualize puking on a scream shield, it then would bounce all back onto your face. :lmao:

The scream shield would be on the "easily distracted" workers in the Prudential office, not on happy riders at CGA.

I was just a random thing I thought about when Scream Shields were talked about. Though, I can see Prudential workers puking on their Scream Shields because of how horrible they are. ;)

Anyways, I think that this is one of the more original layouts for GCI, especially with the bunny hops as they really don't make many of them that often.

Something I made the other day...I'm sure it's not perfect but was fun interpreting GCI's layout. This however may just slightly be taking the course too fast but looks fun nonetheless.

^Well, it's definitely not the best, but I thank you for spending your time on this recreation. It seems like the portion of the ride you did the best is on the "Prudential turn". ;)
