Jelenp Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Not sure if anyone saw any other pictures of the GCI model and new train but it looks like GCI is starting inversions! The model has two rolls on the other side of it and the new gen trains look like what would go on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wow, that Kentucky Flyer train looks so good! Really like the little touches like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yubstep101 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Timberliners are some of the best coaster trains when it comes to theming, with Oscar's Wacky Taxi and Switchback probably being the best out of them (in terms of train theming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm really liking that Kentucky Flyer car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Even more updates from IAAPA 2018! [twitter] [/twitter] Goo Systems which sells movie screens for theme park attractions was using our footage from Manhattan Express and it looked FANTASTIC! Looks good! Fun Fact! IAAPA turns 100 this year. Members can sign the wall to commemorate the event! Happy 100 year anniversary! In position at IAAPA for the big S&S reveal...can’t imagine what’s under that “curtain”?!? Can't wait to see the new trains! Here's the Taito from Japan train simulator game! I love it! Makes me miss Japan! You control the train! They also have a soccer game. It's time to see Kennywood's new Steel Curtain train! Steel Curtain will have 9 inversions and opens in 2019! Drumroll! And here it is! It's a great nod to the Pittsburgh Steelers!

grsupercity Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I had no idea what to expect from the Steel Curtain trains. I was not expecting that. I really do like them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I like the trains for Steel Curtain! They're really committed to that Steelers theme, but more than that, the restraints look minimal and open for such a massive looper. I think they look more appealing than both the Dodonpa/Gale Force and four-across thrust air coaster restraints. I'm not wild about inversion-heavy coasters anymore, but I want this to be a solid ride for the park. The trains give me confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invertalon Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hopefully those shin bars will be tall person friendly. Hard to tell just from the image, but cool trains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
