If Top Thrill dragster has an average 56 m/s and this one has 19m/s, I can't see how this can be over 1G? They are no xcelerator by any means. Even Hulk pulls only 1G and it's pretty forceful.


I never said it will have a constant 1G or more. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough. Acceleration is not dependent on max speed or length. Something with a max speed of 5 mph could exert more force than something with a max speed of 200 mph.

Ok then yeah, I could see for a milisecond it peaking out on the initial launch but I don't think we will feel it. A launch like hypersonic would be great but I just hope people don't go into this thinking its the next kingda ka launch lol.

Exactly, Hypersonic, Kingda, and TTD are all stellar launches, but they're all one trick ponies that last 30 seconds tops. I recently rode Firechaser Express at Dollywood, a family dual launch coaster, and it was actually a very fun ride. I think a lot of people automatically assume that just because somethings faster, its automatically better, and that should not always the case.

Two of the rides that Granny & her Granddaughter are riding I notice the same (2) guys riding with them.... I wonder if they are Related.... Probably cousins or something.

They are all characters of the park. The only person missing is the mayor. It's 5 of them and each one had something to do with each of the 5 rides in the county fair.

I might be overthinking this but all the rides granny has Been ridding are family rides” this makes me think our ride will be a borderline family coaster

It has at least three known inversions that’s an intense family coaster

Well let's be honest, from what we've been able to tell from the "leaked" blueprints it doesn't seem to be that intense of a ride. For launch intensity I was hoping for something more along the lines of The Hulk but I've resigned myself to the fact that such is probably not the case here. Hopefully the layout of the coaster will prove very fun.

What about the Cop guy?

I still see this as a high-thrill over a family-ride, I just don't think a jo-jo roll out of the station followed by a couple launched inversions would be classified as a family or even borderline family ride.

As far as granny only riding family rides goes, I don't know much about it, but I can tell you that if shes having a hard time keeping her hat on while riding Ricochet and Goldrusher, then that might be the reason you only see her on the slower family rides and not on Fury or Intimidator.

TBH, Hulk only launches from 0-40 in 2 seconds, so this wouldn't be too far off, Hulk just has the extra hundred foot drop to really get that speed

Have it been discussed whether or not a midway will be connecting Crossroads to County Fair via the new expansion vs walking all the way around the current way? I’m asking because the way the que line is set up for the gliders or for some possible new flat, you’re going to have to literally walking into the new area whether you come from the old White Water side or the on the side of Dodgems where the path was originally blocked off
