SonofBaconator Posted June 3, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekidd33 Posted June 3, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted June 3, 2013 Share 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...

TheBEASTunchained Posted June 3, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
