Valleyfair announces Renegade for 2007

---

Fun Fact:
The song “Renegade” was a 1979 hit for American rock band Styx.

Probably my favorite part.

Okay, I have been watching all the videos for a while now and I am starting to think this ride will be better than I originally thought. It should have about the same speed as Thunderhead (about the same height and length) and while it won't have as many small pops of air, it does seem to have several sustained airtime moments. I really can't wait to ride this sucker in the rain.

yeah I agree ^^^

By the way---------nothing can challenge "Lightning Racer" in any shape or form. That ride is simply poetry in motion.

Whatever. I get more air watching Renegade's POV than I do on Lightning Racer.

This does look like a great coaster. I would definitely like to see a new woodie at Cedar Point. From the TR's that I have read, El Toro is pretty good as well, so it wouldn't bother me if CP got one from Intamin or GCI.

I would just love to see some new wood at the Point regardless of the manufacturer. 125-180Ft and over 5,000 ft of track would be nice! Veery nice!!
Raven you need to stop looking at videos and get to these rides!
LOL

I have been on LR and Thunderhead so I do get to the rides. I was just saying that the POV of Renegade has more air than the actual Lightning Racer does.

What a gorgeous first drop! Kudos to GCII and VF.

Thunderhead Jr?

Man that curvy first drop looks awesome!
Now I have another great reason to order the Maxx Pass.

Raven I know what you meant I was of course teasing you.
Chill out and relax...........life is meant to be fun. That is why we enjoy these rides so much!! Live life be less critical.

850 people per hour?

is this good for valleyfair?

RoarsLoudly, I was not upset with you. I just thought you misunderstood what I was saying.

Regarding the capacity, this ride is so good for VF that I don't care about the capacity. I will say however that I think the info on the trains is incorrect. A 12 car 2 bench per car train is just too long. The normal Millennium Flyer trains are 12 cars and just one bench and that is what I think this is too. The 24 riders per train makes more sense with the capacity claims as well. I will say that VF has been more crowded in recent years so I would expect long lines on the busy days, but we can still go on off days and even better rainy days. And even if us locals do have to wait in a long line, it probably won't be as long as the drive to another park. ;)

edit: I should have said rcdb's info on the trains is not correct. VF's may have been too but it is right now.*** This post was edited by RavenTTD 9/21/2006 2:32:37 PM ***

Neato design. Reminds me very much of the second half of Texas Giant, or even GhostRider.

I like that GCI is mixing more out-and-back elements into their designs. I'd love to see what the company is capable of doing with the basic, traditional out-and-back!

I think I spoke too soon when I said this ride will have less airtime moments than Thunderhead. I am counting 10-12 potential airtime moments in the POV which is about what Thunderhead has. GCI has shown to me that they can deliver air in those spots and considering that some of these on Renegade are longer floats, this could be an airtime machine if everything goes like it could. I can't wait to find out for sure.

I'd like to see GCI do that as well Rob. Renegade looks great and I agree the long floater air could reallly be amazing. :)

I find it interesting that both of CFs new coasters next year are a western theme.

Cool, can't wait for CF to install Brokeback Thunder Mtn. at PGA!
