    I think a lot of enthusiasts (not me) were disappointed whenever they found out that the 2019 coaster was going to be a Gravity Group woodie rather than a mega coaster or something, but I think that actually seeing it has changed that tune. This looks like an absolutely incredible coaster and I'm so glad Kentucky Kingdom is only seven hours away. Also, I think it is so smart that Kentucky Kingdom keeps making some pretty underwhelming graphics so that when the actual coaster comes out, people are blown away.

    I think Great Adventure should invest in one of these. I mean, after the removal of Rolling Thunder, the only wooden coaster option you have is El Toro, which is definitely not a family coaster. I know people want a Giga, or some new big coaster, but what they need is a family coaster to fill the hole left by rolling thunder.

    What I find to be interesting is that the build quality of TGG coasters seems to vary quite a bit. Some are glass smooth like I've heard this one is, and then you have Mine Blower which was unnecessarily rough from day one. I think that inconsistency might be making parks cautious about working with them. Hopefully I'm wrong. I like them more than GCI.
