Looks awesome! Love the low to the ground parts and the straight first drop.

it looks like a few turn arounds and not much else in between. I think the Fun Spot GCI looks much more interesting.
What are these for?

^Nah this looks so much more interesting. More laterals, better pacing, better drop, better layout. There doesn't need to be anything in between if they have good transitions, which, by the way, look incredible in this ride.

I was surprised to hear that they were keeping their old layout from 2007 (I think thats the year), but I see why. This looks lake one of GCI's better layouts. It didn't look that exciting from the initial rendering, but wow.

it's a gci, it's supposed to look good, one isnt supposed to notice how tame it is until after they've waited in line..

It will be just like every other GCI- some great twists and quick pops of floater air. Great fun and pacing to be had :)

I'm looking forward to it. Certainly looks like one of the better GCIs out there.

But did anyone else notice how unbelievably linear the transitions were? It seemed like they forgot to polish the model before filming it...(also notice the lack of station accessories and actual brakes)
