I am still kindof suspicious about what's under the long drawn out section after the drop. If its a small pop of air that's gonna be so BA!

^ What long drawn out section?

I think you're looking at it wrong like the person earlier in the topic.

Is that what your talking about? The drop isn't exactly straight, I think you're mistaken part of the return trip as the first airhill.

Btw, do GCI's ever have airtime?


Yes, Kentucky Rumbler has many spots of airtime. The "long" hills are sustained floater and there are many 'pops' throughout the ride (smaller hills and in transitions).

Anyway, Fireball looks pretty awesome. I like the ending of it quite a bit, minus that flat 180 turn into the brakes. In fact most of the woodies being built this year (this, Prowler, Terminator) all do the same thing, not sure why but I'm not a fan of it. Other than that though, looks like an excellent ride. Hopefully the park will maintain it well so the locals will know what GOOD wood is like, instead of having a Mean Streak.

Here is the video DCs mentioned.

This coaster looks kick-ass. It would be very cool if some one would host a constest inspired by this coaster.

wow, look at all that airtime. With all those little pops, it almost looks like a GCI to me.
Looks like China's first is gonna be a winner

Cool ride. It smooth and sinous and deliver thrills at least to the chinese. More gravity group rides for USA and canada please. Any plans for more GG woodies?

This looks incredible. I really love the back and forth section right before the bunny hills at the end. That looks like it will be so much fun! I'm incredibly jealous of the Chinese right now...

goddamn that looks fun.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.
