Just thought I'd start it to save the shout box.

The Triple down first drop is sick. Whats the grey box at the top supposed to be?

The grey box is a castle.

AV Matt · « **Reply #4 on:** February 16, 2010, 07:44:48 PM »

4,817 ft long
147 ft lift
131 ft twisting, triple-down fist drop

See the link above.

That first drop is going to be legendary. A Castle.... HAAHAHAHA thats nuts. Anything to that turnaround before the "castle"? Kind of Great Bearish... but not really. If this coaster was in N.A. it would be Christmas morning right now.

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2010, 09:23:29 PM »

Will it have details inside of the castle? or will it just be a box and call it a castle?

AV Matt · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2010, 10:27:00 PM »

No idea. Looking forward to seeing more detail. Right now it looks kind of cool but not all that thrilling to me. Hard to judge what it's gonna be like.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2010, 12:06:39 AM »

Evidently the castle is a "fly-by" So i'm guessing you whip through it, not gradually cruise up to the drop.

AV Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2010, 01:07:50 PM »

Well based on the decent from the lift, I'd estimate about 15-20mph at most through the castle.

It's awesome seeing some of these American manufacturers doing some major business overseas!

I want a blueprint for this castle.

AV Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:37:34 AM »

And I want a trimless B&M hyper with killer airtime and great pacing to the end.

You might want to be a bit more specific. Otherwise, the way things are going, you will get it.

In China.

Nice to see the castle isn't just a box.

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 27, 2010, 04:08:36 PM »

Lol it looks like a haunted mansion to me

looks awesome... seems to have a lot of speed at the end, not sure it that is just the way it looks in the simulation or if it will really end with all that speed

B-mac · « **Reply #22 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:18:44 AM »

I just wish that they could've thrown a godd bunny hill in some areas for a little pop of air-time, some of the drawn out turns will be perfect for those types of hills.

AV Matt · « **Reply #23 on:** December 10, 2010, 10:22:45 AM »

Drawn out and graceful curves is GCI's style. Easier to maintain.

Looks fun, but no big drops, and it ends with a long, boring turn onto the brakes just like Prowler and far too many other coasters. Every coaster should hit the brakes with a slammin' airtime hill IMO.
