"Mountain Flyer" GCI terrain coaster for Knight Valley

[captain]

[quote=""John""]Its a sheet of some sort...No idea what its for though.[/quote]Trying to hide how mind-numbingly good-looking that coaster is?

:P

[Wildboy]

maybe its a villager reclaiming there home?

[Big C]

Nahh, its a head chopper 'effect'.

Foreginers will not be back to it!

[Airtime]

Going to be one mess of track or what?

[Mitch]

Okay, forget what I said earlier... this looks insane and whoever designed this is either a very silly person or a complete and utter genius! I'd like to know what they've been smoking, it's done wonders! :P

I don't even know what else to say about that...

GCI have posted a pre-pov simulator video on their Facebook:

I don't think that off ride footage in a simulator does it justice... very much looking forward to the POV!

[Sam]

Beat me to it! It looks absolutely stunning.

The first turnaround... the eye before the storm?

Oh My Actual God

I WANT ONE! This truley is going to be the king of the woodie world Now if only we could get something like that... [-o<

[Blaze]

I'm starting to think the desecration and destruction of the gardens would almost be worth it if we got one at Alton.

Sorry but that looks like a Pinfari Big Apple in comparison to this holy shrine to rollercoaster design :P

[hell lepard]

yes, agreed but im saying that we have one.
I wonder how the air time on the heavily banked turn is going to be,
it looks like a genius design steel wouldnt create that kind of instablity and the sharp turn i bet that will rock like mad good thing its hidden.

[Blaze]

There's a little hidden pop into one of the tall turns close-ish to the start that looks epic, and that massive banked turn that goes on for ever should be epic aswell, and the track before and after the fly-by, and the, oh God it all looks amazing. The end is maybe a tiny bit sudden, but there's no way they could have put anything extra in, and it would probably exploded under it's own awesomeness =P~

=P~ It's getting more and more epic everytime I see it! I'm just curious as to how long the wood is going to stay as nice looking as that

Well for comparison I used Flickr and found a recent (end of 2009) photo of one of the oldest GCI's from 1999, Gwazi. Ten years later:



Basically the wood will get quite a bit darker.

That looks absolutely spectacular! That terrain sure is impressive... *drools* =P~ This ride is ridiculously photogenic!
