Former CCI engineers form new consulting company

I've heard McNulty's with RCCA now.

It looks as though CCI has been resurrected and we'll be seeing more of their quality rides get built.=)

With this news it seems as if SF Seattle will get their woodie and the New Mexico rattler will also be completed as well,this will also be a great test for the engineering staff of this up and coming company to see if they've retained the quality that made CCI such a respected company.

It'll be interesting to call this company TGG for short.

I count five GCI coasters with a sixth one being built in MO. Also I think Boodley has been doing a lot of retracking work.

In the other topic where Paula released the news, there was some talk about a Ravine Flyer II at Waldemeer's park. That would be TGG first woodie.

I wonder if they will take over Bell's woodie as well and finish New Mexico Rattler if it's not completed yet.

In the press release they quoted to have built a coaster in a swamp are they reffering to mega zeph?

Im so glad this has been officially released. Go back and read some of the CCI closing threads and see If I did not say there would be at least two companies born from the break up.

darienlakefan,

Mega Zeph isn't in a swamp.

-----------------

Sure as hell looked like swamp to me! It's at the least wetland/marshland. If you're gonna come up with some technical definition of a swamp, then whatever... You wouldn't wanna wade in that stuff.

Why do we fear Mack trucks, but not Mack Wild Mouse coasters?

I think this is great. I hope someone buys a coaster from them soon so they can start off well. Since these guys were the main designers for the best CCI rides, I think the coasters TGG could produce would be excellent.

Coulda fooled me...I thought the proposed SLC was going to cost twice as much to install than in most areas because of the same swampy land conditions.

Stitch: I think the abbreviation you're gonna see for Gravity Group is G2.

-'Playa

-----------------
The CPlaya 100--6 days, 9 parks, 47 coasters, 2037 miles and a winner.....LoCoSuMo.

The Gravity Group, LLC......might I suggest "Tuggle"....after Jessie Tuggle.....'cause their rides HIT you like a blitzing linebacker.....have a nice day!

So there is still hope for new great wood in the northwest. This is fantastic news! :)

-----------------

If you read the web site carefully, you'll see that they are advertising design and engineering services, not construction services. I have to believe that these guys have the ability to run a construction project, so they are probably short on the cash required to go into the actual business of building coasters. Lets hope that they can find a source of financing to enable them to get into the business of building coasters.

Costa Playa:

Jazzland isn't in a swamp, but soil conditions almost every where in New Orleans are such that foundation costs are high since almost all of the land is old swamp bottom and unconsolidated sediment. My house there sat on 98 pilings!

Yup Yup. I had a feeling these guys wouldn't just sit around...not with their marketable reputation. Good luck!

It's funny how ever anonymous (or so they think, from an address at Jake Sweeny BMW) asshole who has an axe to grind suddenly appears with libelous statements all in caps.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Moron.

Jeff, I am confused and dissapointed at your lack of intelligence and the need to display such hostility. *** This post was edited by Jeff on 8/25/2002. ***
