ZDT's Amusement | Switchback | Gravity Group Shuttle Coaster

Re: ZDT's Amusement | Switchback | Gravity Group Shuttle Coa

^Couldn't get that link to work, but here's the link to the video I shared on our Facebook page: clicky

It's great to see it testing and you really have to be there to see how much they've packed into this ride. I'm ready to get my butt down to Texas as soon as I get the word from the park that it's opening.

Here are some more photos that they've been posting:

This is such a funny little coaster. I love it!
 
Re: ZDT's Amusement | Switchback | Gravity Group Shuttle Coa

I think it looks a bit poop tbf.

I get that it's unique and great for the park and plot etc but it just doesn't get anywhere near that spike and then crawls around backwards.

It'll be fun but probably the weakest thing that GG have done.

Although I bet I'll be the only one cause we all piss ourselves over stuff like this and are then disappointed by massive Dive Machines because enthusiasts r weird.

^Did you really expect that the coaster would go flying around the track and all the way up the spike on the first day of testing? That's what testing is for - to get everything dialed in and working as expected, especially on a new concept coaster like this one. I'm just hoping that it doesn't take them too long to get everything worked out. It would be a bummer if it opened the week I'm in Cali next month.

While that does look fantastic, having only one 8-person train is going to cause giant queues, even in this small, local theme park (Think PWH and Enigma)

Do you really expect it to speed up to the point where it actually makes any sort of an impact on that spike?

I've been around long enough to know it will speed up when its been running longer thanks Jerry but it's not going to all of a sudden fly around.

How much more is there for them to work out...? They're not going to put a launch half way round. It's not THAT advanced, it has a bit of transfer track, that's it. We're not looking at the next Flying Turns here.

Thank goodness it has *two* trains.... Also, based off what the "park" has... I doubt the place ever has more than 100 people at it...

Fun Spot America rarely operates the second WL train, and Freedom Flyer van only have one. And look at it, all walk ons.

The official opening date is set for 17. October. The media event will be held during the week leading up to opening day. Going to book my flight ASAP.
