This was my first gravity group family coaster and I really loved it. It’s pretty whippy and fast paced but also not too intense so families can’t enjoy it. It’s a great coaster and the perfect fit for this park

Gravity Group is my absolute favorite coaster manufacturer. And with great escape as my home park (which hasn’t received a significant coaster since i was an actual child) this was absolutely mindblowing to me! Coaster itself is a total delight and the theming/scenery is very picturesque and fitting for the park. Bonus points for leaving in the original entrance archway for the bobsled- which i do very much miss. Such a great addition all in all!

The Alpine Bobsled memorial shows you when a park cares about their defunct coasters and history.

I would love to see a backwards-facing row added to this already great coaster. Great Video, keep up that good work.😊

I just got to ride this today and it was sooooo fun. The special precut track was cool to see and I had never ridden a brand new wood coaster before. So well designed like you said and such a great ride.

These family Gravity Group wooden coaster are absolutely fantastic for families and everyone really. I only rode Kentucky Flyer and it was still really fun and Gravity Group makes the best wooden coasters.

I hope this sets the stage for more family and thrill rides from the Gravity Group They make fantastic modern wooden roller coasters and I hope Six Flags/Cedar Fair add more of these family woodies, but ALSO more thrill wooden coasters too We need another Voyage

Six Flags America... you're due!! You have a great location... DC Metro area, within a 3 hours drive you got Phili, Baltimore, Tidewater and Pittsburg isn't too far away. Plus the region has Kings Dominion, Bush Gardens, Hershey Park, and Kennywood if we count Pittsburg. You have a built in attendance base which will only increase with premier rides. Ride of Steel is an awesome ride (woefully under appreciated) and Wild One is a hoot. Your Steam Town upgrade is nice. The Mind Eraser makeover is well done (much smoother now). Roar aint bad, actually smoother than an old woodie should be but this is perfect 'RMC' material. RMC this one and the following year add a GC 'family' coaster and you got yourself the makings of a hit park. Other suggestions.. in an off year add a dark ride, and make sure your water rides are running, they're always down when I go to visit. (The food is a bit pricy but it is what it is) keep the ride operations quick and fun and friendly, you are making improvements here but keep working on it.. Bottom Line: Add 2 new coasters over the next two years and you can be a near premier park. Build them and they will come.

The best thing about these Gravity Group junior woodies is that there is a place for one at literally every park. It not only fills a gap many parks suffer from going from kiddie coasters to thrill rides, but they are so unique unto themselves that they don't feel redundant even in a park with another family ride like a Vekoma family boomerang or a mine train coaster.

personally, bobcat is my new favorite at great escape. Also the second down on a hot summer day gives great ejector in the back row. Now we just need a raptor to replace steamin pile and my home park will be set as a good quality over quantity lineup

@Studio732JRL-k7y 2 ай бұрын

Not really much to choose from, is there. That goes for both "quality" AND "quantity". Even with a raptor- if they are still making raptors in 20 years when this park starts to consider adding another rollercoaster. "Bobcat" looks like a decent, fun little woodie. Nothing more, nothing less- despite how bad you want it to be... Good addition for the park no doubt, but arguing quality and quantity at a park little Great Escape is silly. Kind of like saying small pops of floater are the same thing as... what was it? "Great ejector in the back row"? It's a GG family woodie, it's nice to see some love from the chain at these smaller, relatively obsolete parks, but you kind of sound a bit delusional.

I liked Bobcat far more than Roar-O-Saurus, having ridden both for the first time in the last 2 weeks. Bobcat was far smoother and more comfortable in every way. At Great Escape, Comet is easily still my favorite. I think it's one of the more underrated woodies in the country.

@urbex_coasters 3 ай бұрын

This being a near clone is so Great Escape. Everything id either a clone or a relocation (although in the case of this and Comet, that's ok cause they're awesome). I'd still say Comet is probably best in the park but this is a great supporting ride.

I didn't know this was the first of its kind where the pieces of track were built in the factory instead of on sight. Id assume it brings about an easier constriction with less mistakes and its probably smoother as well.

Hot take: Great America should have done something like this with great theming for next year instead of Raksha-na-na or whatever. Maybe they think Viper fills the niche, but it doesn’t really.

@poopsitoutgaming7575 3 ай бұрын

Depends on how far you're traveling. There are some good rides. But after the two woodies you only have an arrow corkscrew, a boomerang, and a mine train. A decent water park, and a good collection of new and classic flat and track rides. The star of the park is the bobcat and the comet. The comet started out as the crystal beach cyclone, probably the most infamous wood coaster ever made. It had a redesign and a relocation to the great escape in the 90s. And is an ace landmark coaster. Deffinately an amazing double out and back woody.

@FryGuy909 3 ай бұрын

now that they have bobcat, I'd say yes. the atmosphere makes up for the small coaster collection
