So, I'm spending some time in Germany this May, but I'm just not going to be close enough to check this ride out. I'd probably have to drop my visit to Holiday Park (and drive a whole lot more) and that's just not going to happen.

I think this looks like the best GCI to date in my opinion.
A straight first drop, a series of four airtime hills in a row, and then another series of two bunny hills. More of my style ride than their usual twisters.

I'm really looking forward to riding this in July. Apart from the lift hill there's no real high point, so it should carry a lot of speed through the course.

Wow, if that NL creation is accurate, this will be a great GCI! Lot's of air-time, great sudden tunnels, a few rough turns but I bet that's just from NL.

That can't be true. Let's hope it will at least be half as good.

I can't wait for the "El Toro - GCI vs Intamin" debates.
