That double up is awesome! Definitely my favourite part of the ride. You're floating and slammed into the side of the seat all at the same time, and at a great speed too.
Roar is at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. This coaster is at California's Great America. Other than being designed by the same company (Great Coasters International), these coasters have little in common.
I was required to ride this for the Ariana Grande Scavenger Hunt on Friday for Summer Splash because one of the items we needed was a picture riding this. This ride is FAST! It also jerked like crazy and I nearly lost it in the first drop. I didn't win the scavenger hunt but the adventure was totally worth it!

GCI makes absolutely great coasters. Love them. I hope Cedar Point gets one in the future. Excited for Mystic Timbers!
Hands down your best coaster to date! Proud to have this in my local park!
Closest coaster to me in the world. Park is 20 minutes away, I live northwest of it, and this coaster is on the northwest side of the park. Epic ride!
Fantastic job guys! This may be you best creation yet!
The fall always gets me when I was on Golden Striker!
SUPER fun! Loved this ride a bunch :D
Im realizing what im going to go through tomorrow.

Gold Striker is better than Apocalypse :)
Dylan Thomas Salada By like 1000000% lol
That looks absolutely incredible. The tunnel on the first drop is a bit odd, but the rest is really cool!
Huh?
This is at California's Great America, a completely *NEW* coaster! And it is amazing! Roar's up in Vallejo, this is in the South Bay.

Best Rollercoaster at great America ever!!!!!!
It's southern yellow pine, a type of wood that's used on many wooden coasters. I'm sure after several years, it will change shade.
u are right
The second time i rode on this my eyes were closed the whole ride...
I don't know, the one at Knight Valley in China probably tops it, but this still looks like a fantastic coaster.
How fast does it go?
On I live so close to great America but I haven't been there this summer WHYY I gotta ride gold striker
I rode it today it was SUPER awsome
I can't wait I already have my platinum passes I call back seat! :D
Did they just rename Roar so they would get more people?
So awesome I went on it today
I'm going to great America in 2 days this is the first ride I'm going on
The drop is my fav part
Whats the top speed on this?
Really, I don't get how this channel only has 738 subs. It is literally GCI's channel. This is a haven for coaster nerds and GCI fanboys like me :)
Did this replace the grizzly??
Why is it closed? Will it open again?
Steven John It's not closed
is it open
Ilove when it drops
Yeah it is it opened in April
Well actually im not sure i think it is go on their website
the wood literally looks gold when the sun shines on it. lol i dunno if that was intended or just coincidental.
omg I went on this a few weeks ago with my class and it was sooo fun and sooo scary as hell I almost peed at the drop
how are there no screams wow
probably just an empty train
Cheri Tang It was only testing at this point
is it scary
Ahh, I didn't catch that part.
I think that tunnel at the top takes away the entire thrill of the ride.
Sc0rpioX666 HOW
Wow this incredible ride hauls some major ass!!! So much fun :)
yes it is
lindo...lindo..lindo
100 mph drop out of the tunnel and i also flipped off the camera at the picture part and i looked at the pictures and it was hilarious
53.7 MPH
Lol thanks for the clarification.
Just because gold striker is wood doesn't mean they replaced the grizzly! Ok
i just went on that ride yer
1:35 is the only jerky part
Nick Bortolon How...
No, the Grizzly is still there.
Blue
