Gravity Group tests coaster-train prototype at Holiday World

I think Paula might mean she got no info while she was inside. Maybe she got some info while she was outside!

-insert conspiracy theories here-

I think the point here everyone is missing. For the first time in almost a century. Unless a In House woodie is built, PTC has NO NEW CUSTOMERS.

Intamin, Kumback, GCII, TGG, Gerstlauer all have their own trains now and all but Gerslauers are fully articulated.

I've never been anti PTC but I was always for improving their product as the writing has been on the wall for about ten years that superior handling and comfort trains were needed and being developed.

I myself was kinda shocked to see their solution of taking their existing trains and making one bench cars out of each of them

Also if anyone noticed the two guide wheels per axel on the TGG's? Not only articulated but steerable.

Oh, snap. You're right. Is PTC still in the business of things other than coaster trains and parts?

Also, do we have any word as to whether or not TGG is going to do what GCII does with the Millennium Flyers and only sell them with a coaster? If they sell them ala carte how many parks do you think would buy them? Could this end up their biggest money-maker ever?

A close up of the Splinter car is on Gravity Group's website. The lapbars do look interesting.

What lapbars? All I see is grab bars. There is nothing across their waists.

Indiana Beach is calling. They want a retrofit.

I was thinking that somehow the grab bars would come down and lay on their waists... Most likely, I am wrong, though.

s'OK Andy...we love ya anyway :)

Aww, it's getting rather mooshy in here with all this love!

I love LoCoSuMo just the way it is! Got two rides on it this weekend and laughed the whole time! :)
