That banked drop thing on the first pick look pretty cool. High banking.

Actually, I have been following this ride vaguely.

I love the way it's layout is done! I miss the old day of the "Cyclone" type layouts.

REVIVAL!

This looks like a great coaster. It has some hills that should give some nice air time, and some good turns.

Is it just me or does it look a little like a cyclone coaster?

Wow, this looks like it could be as good as Thunderhead :shock:

Hey everyone,
A friend let me know that PowerPark has installed a webcam focused on the new GCII woodie.

Go to this link and click "Webcam IV"

http://www.powerpark.fi/English/webcam.html

Looks like the ride is resting comfortably under a blanket of snow! Also looks like it's nearing completion!

My friend also told me that the park is installing a light package that will highlight the structure at night. (Not the construction floodlights in the webcam).

Datman: don't worry about the forests since our main industry is forests and paper

and to Shockwave: yeah I think its possible since a two-way ticket on a high speed train from Helsinki to Tampere (the city where Finland's biggest themepark is) is about 25 euros. But, it may be better to have more than 3 days for the trip since getting to Power Park may be harder.

Hey TPR,

We've been battling the snow for the past couple of weeks trying to get Thunderbird ready for it's grand opening (tentatively April 29) and we finally sent it over on April 10th!

We had to shovel about a foot of snow off the track, but Thunderbird came screaming into the brakes no problem!

We put a few shots up on a photobucket.com site. Here's a link:

Hope everyone makes the trip to Finland this year! Thunderbird Rocks!
