I'm hoping that dragon zero car isn't so... large. I hate it when coasters have obstructions on the front.
Trains have been unveiled at IAAPA:

**** that obnoxious zero car.
I like the blue one. The bear one is a bit much. And they don't really fit together?
By 'refurbished parts' have they just... used Gwazi's trains?
That feels a bit cheap? I can't think of a time a Coaster has opened with some old, hand-me-down trains. Why are BGW so tight lately?

I have a big problem with the designs of those zero cars.
Singularly, they're ok? Together, they're gross.
They both have completely different styling and don't marry up whatsoever. I understand the whole tie in of 'forged with wood', but when I think of vikings I do not think of bears? The longship one makes sense, I get it completely yet it is somewhat on the large-scale, the colours add a bit of 'finesse' to the design and it all works together, then they plonk a wooden sculptured bear with absolutely no render on it whatsoever. It just doesn't marry up and it looks really really silly.

They both look pretty good IMO, but together they don't really "match." They seem a bit over the top to be honest though. But hey, I guess you could call this "theming." I like the dragon car better.

Why is that silly?! There's plenty of 'family' coasters out there with heights and drops of around the same? I'm confused.

The unsymmetrical line of the screaming bear is giving me issues tbh.
The bear isn't bad, just such an odd choice. And yeah, as everybody's said, the two don't match.

InvadR will only have a 10 ft. shorter drop and 3 MPH slower top speed than Prowler. At that point, why not go a bit taller and a bit faster to build a simple GCI twister as the park's first wooden coaster?
It's sheer preference that when building a park's first wooden coaster, it be a large, typical twister.

This! Looks a bit wonky. They might look better on the track I don't know. #RIP Gwazi
