SonofBaconator Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Seems like a cool coaster. I'm kinda on the fence about the tunnel over the first drop though. It's so unique and yet so odd at the same time. Quote
thekidd33 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 There is some speculation that the tunnel was added to help with noise concerns that the neighboring office park tenants had. Quote
McSalsa Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 It isn't. It's Flight Deck, too, Batman. The article says otherwise. PS: I know it's Flight Deck, I was pointing out an error in the article...I found it funny that even the media still calls some of these rides by their old names 5 years after the name change...

thekidd33 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Goes to show what passes for research and editing at many media outlets these days. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I've been keeping up with construction on Gold Striker since its announcement and even up to its opening date. It looks like a Great roller coaster, I think I'll now need to make a trip to California this year so that maybe I can Strike Gold! 1 Quote
