This new beauty from GCI is slated to open on April 10, 2009. We bring you a testing video care of GCI. The coaster features a length of 2460ft, a height of 90ft, a top speed of 47mph, and 2 tunnels that travel under a log flume. Love what they say at the end “…and that is the real El Toro.” I love me a GCI any day of the week, but I don’t think it’ll top the original El Toro.

We forgot to mention it in the show, but this is our 75th show!
In this show, we discuss:

Shapiro Interview
Prowler and Manta Construction
Lake Compounce Issues
Kennywood Presidential News
We bring back a familar segment…
And more!

The reunion show (is it fair to call it that?) will be recorded on October 24th, 2008. We invite you to join Nate and I as we recall the last 5 months in a nutshell, review 2008 coasters, preview 2009 coasters, and hopefully provide you with a laugh or two along the way.

Apparently Fahrenheit has valleyed, because it was caught on the webcam. Lots of coasters valley during testing. Even Behemoth valleyed, and that’s rare for B&Ms. Maybe the valley was a sign that they shouldn’t build near identical rides in the same park. You can see in the photo where the train was, and then they put a tarp over it.

Good luck…
 

Jake was our winner last week. I predict we won’t get a winner this week. Good luck.

Nate and I discuss the Cedar Fair name changes, two coaster incidents, Nate’s coaster calendar, Road Trip to TN, Question of the Week, and more.
