Awesome CGA News

I remember it as the Texas Twister at Geauga Lake.

Well the fact that it's going bye-bye is official because it's already gone. Enthusiasts in the area have been posting photos of cranes taking it apart and taking it down over the last week. I realized my last post is unclear when I said nobody saw it getting demolished... I just meant that nobody knew if it's getting moved somewhere, the way CF likes to pass problems around sometimes, or trashing and demolishing it.

It looks like CGA recently submitted an application for a permit for a 100' roller coaster. Coincidentally, Lightning Run has a 100' drop. That reminds me of a rumor I heard of a Chance Hyper GT-X going into Michigan's Adventure awhile back. Chance Rides kinda fits the mystery manufacturer too. Sorry Michigan's Adventure fans. (especially Timber-Rider) Maybe you'll get Knott's Boomerang. (Since Dorney already has an Invertigo)

For what little it's worth: I've taken several laps on Lightning Run and absolutely loved it.

SF 49ers fans would finally have something to get excited about.

Its slated to go in Invertigo's old spot according to the filing. Not sure a Hyper GTX would fit in that area, even if they removed the surrounding buildings.

More Raptor rumors anyone?

Ain't heard the first one.
Sounds preposterous, though.

What Raptor rumor? I heard a Wicked Twister rumor...

Raptor track from RMC. Everyone's hooked on it because the guys at RMC manufactured some for a prototype at their factory.

ohhhhh,... that Raptor....

They caught on eventually. ;-)

I just want a damn Hyper GT-X to go in ANYWHERE. Lightning Run is so great for such a low price point.

Yeah, that's one is quite a bit taller than 100' feet. Guess that rumor is squashed.

Another note. Just because it's starting from the Invertigo plot of land does not mean it can't venture up and out and back.

I'm guessing you didn't read any posts beyond that one?

You guessed wrong. ;)

I guess irony isn't my strongest suit

I don't see any irony...?

Hence my comment above.

I "liked" this, but that seems woefully inadequate. Did at the time, still does.

There are some swirling rumors for 2018...but I've heard nothing *concrete.*

Is screamscape reading my posts? Suddenly there are Raptor rumors...

To be honest, I'm surprised that they haven't tried to do an RMC conversion of Grizzly... Isn't it considered to be one of the worst wooden coasters out there?

Raptor track would be cool, but I also feel like CGA always has rumors flying around that don't end up panning out for one reason or another... So who knows.

Fingers crossed, it would be nice to see that park start to head in a more positive direction.

GCI could do wonders with Grizzly. It has a nice classic layout. Just needs more maintenance than most parks are willing to pay for.

Ug, and those trains... I'm glad to see that there aren't very many woodies left with Morgan trains... Yikes.
