That ride really does appear to pack quite a punch! Love the double up, double down there on the return run.

Anybody want to argue that this ride isn't going to be a GCI now??? :lmao:

I was just going to say, this roller coaster looks more like a Gravity Group coaster like Wooden Warrior + Twister. I will admit that this does look like a really fun coaster. I doubt it will bust into many people's Top 5's or Top 10's, but it sure will keep you laughing the whole ride.

^Yeah, it is definitely a variation from GCI's style. My comment was more directed at the posters that weren't convinced this was GCI even after someone from Fun Spot officially confirmed it was GCI.

The waterpark took a budget hit I think. Could there be any reason at this late of date to have "place holders" for the waterpark. That is a very big downgrade, it's completely off my radar if that's what they are building. It might work fine for them but anything interesting about the original plan is gone. Maybe Splashtacular lost interest in the project.

The coaster looks like a lot of fun. I hope people ride it, The Hurricane seemed to always be empty.

So I drove by Fun Spot today to see if anything was happening in the way of construction, and there really wasn't much. There are tons of stakes in the ground marking the layout of the GCI, and it pretty much looks like it runs parallel to the road all the way to the end of the property and back. They were taking core samples of the ground, however, and they had some trucks parked next to the field. So hopefully we see some land clearing beginning soon!

^^ Thanks for stopping by, that saves me a trip. I hope the core samples were good, always an iffy prospect around here.

Does anyone else see this new GCI having a generous amount of airtime for its size? I'm speculating the ride goes around 44-5 MPH and is about 2300-2500 feet long. It sure looks awesome though!
...If you are reading this, than you have officially reached the end of the post and are now reading my pointless sig :D.
