The Shaft of Terror discovered at last

Posted | Contributed by Taipan

G'Day, I've just returned from an "expedition" to my birth country and original home park, Gold Reef City. Here are the photos of what looks like the Holy Grail of vertical coasters worldwide:

Photos and more photos.

Just to tell you that a TR & photos of Anaconda are on the way.
Wow, a friend of mine worked on the re-designing of this coaster. It looks great!
Holy ish! Check out the sixth picture! Why is this the first we've heard of the ride?
MAD!
Because it's outside of the US!
looks SWEET
Why this thing look so rusty??
It's called theming.
This isn't the first we have heard of this ride, or at least not for a lot of us. Gio hasn't kept this ride a secret, and in one of the more recent Rollercoaster! magazines there was a large profile of the park, along with word of this coaster

The day that I spend more time analyzing the rides than screaming my head off like a moron is the day that I hope someone will kick my in the love sausage and tell me not to be a moron. - Jeff
I gotta get out to Gold Reef City! DANG!!!!

KoЯn Rules! I just came out to feed!
And they said Gio was to build no more coasters...

Great Looking Coaster! I Like the Industrial look to it. This Industrial theme should be used more often.

Well, they started building the coaster BEFORE they (supposedly) told us they are stopping.

The Jet Coaster ROARS!
This coaster was built in '99 i believe

Excellent. It looks like a concept Disney or BGW might play with.

It reminds me of some coaster out of Sim Theme Park or Sim Coaster. Fabulous!
