Sat, May 20, 2006 - 7:30 AMThis Coaster should be Stupendous when it opens!
its being built by The Gravity Group,the same folks who gave us "HADES" at Mt Olympus Theme park in Wisconsin-Dells WI.
Gravity Group is famous for it's "Hybrid" wooden coasters made with a galvanised steel framework,they are HUGE,scary coasters with ultra-steep Drops and Extreme banked curves,multiple underground tunnels and other extreme coaster features! On these big "Signature Wooden Coasters" Gravity Group features its currently exclusive "Vertical Banked Curves" Yes Tribe Members,these aren't "sharply banked" curves they are VERTICAL(straight UP!) Corners on a wooden coaster! The first of these was featured on "HADES" and it Worked,so now Gravity Group has made these corners it's signature Feature!

Re: Today's announcement from Holiday World
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 9:19 AMI rode it on Thursday. Stupendous is appropriate. This is one very intense ride. The "out" part is big, hilly, and smooth. Then the turnaround occurs and the absolutely insane trip back begins. There are so many directional surprises, fake-outs, and out-of-control sensations.
I'm worried though, Although I have the utmost trust in Holiday World, history has shown that wooden coasters this wild end up getting reprofiled or highly braked. I hope it doesn't happen to this absolute masterpiece.
