Interesting! I wonder why they went with The Gravity Group instead of GCI. At any rate, more wooden coasters in Florida maintained well by Fun Spot is never a bad thing!

This head chopper seems to be a bit extreme.

 

Also concerned about this construction method here.

I'm guessing that's the Kissimmee park?  It was torn up pretty good when I was down there last month.

^ Yes, it is the Kissimmee park. Good to know work has already started.

Fun Spot basically owns Old Town at this point

This ride has a literal head chopper!

I mean I knew GG made some intense coasters but a literal head chopper might be where I draw the line.

Hmm. This ride looks pretty sweet- I am assuming they used No Limits and auto-generated the supports, which caused the head chopper in the video. (ProTip: When using No Limits to showcase your new ride, make sure that doesn't happen...people clearly will notice) If it is that way on the real ride, then whomever makes sure amusement rides are safe in Florida probably won't let this open.

Just saw a video, looks cool; it's like a mini -Voyage with those turns
