White Lightning Roller Coaster POV Test Runs Fun Spot Orlando GCI Woodie

[@WCHCOR]

Just love how fluid this ride seems and the double up double down portion!

[@themeparkreview]

Thanks Rob! I actually shot both left and right side views at the same time and was going to put them together in a split screen, but it really didn't work well. But I love the sideways POV shots where I just happened to capture the other coaster going as well! (That wasn't planned!)

[@booliganshootingsports]

I remember riding that Skycoaster back at MGM YEARS ago. The thing is massive. Absolutely insane. I'm glad it found a new home!

[@WhiteDeath_46]

I like coasters in the raw. Especially Wooden Coasters! I love seeing their brand new wooden track and steel plates, its just so satisfying.

[@ryanel181]

IM THERE RIGHT NOW THAT RIDE WAS AWESOME :D

[@bayday5]

Looks like a great coaster, definitely one of the best looking out and backs out there

[@scar6862]

I rode this today, 8 times in all. It may be small but HOLY COW, it is a rush. Amazing coaster

[@Kevin2297.]

Great video! The sun in the horizon makes this look really cool!

[@user-gj4xg3eb8c]

This is my favorite ride there 😃

[@barrettkuntz1331]

Dude I’ve been there too and on the first drop it feels like you just falling from the sky

[@stevetraskell726]

Wow that's a fast coaster

[@thebayratt]

Love the double up & double down before the turn around

[@kbann551215]

Damn this thing is quick! Awesome!

[@Paneeks1960]

Incredible footage and especially the left side shot at 2:57. Thank you for your amazing editing Mr Alvey~ Rob/Boston

[@themeparkreview]

We'll post another video on Monday with more commentary and stuff! The white arch ride in the background is the 2nd tallest Skycoaster in the world at 250 feet! It used to be at MGM Grand Adventures in Las Vegas many years ago....

[@coasteronroblox]

This is so Fast that This Is why is Called White Lightning Its Full of epicness Themeparkreview Is epic They should Be celebrity :D

[@JessicaTheShark]

Oh, that looks fun! Short, but sweet.

[@jakesonaplane_]

Amazing footage Robb! The backwards POV is beautiful. Looks like a great coaster!

[@themeparkreview]

This is what I was told - The train is short because the ride is much more compact that what GCI normally does. To deliver a more thrilling ride given the track length and space to work with, they used a shorter train so that the ride could do more. With a shorter train, the ride can be more "snappy" and have quicker movements in a smaller space. With a longer train, the elements would have to be wider and more drawn out, and probably not as "quick." They will run two of these 6-car trains.

[@Kenzie.reneee]

This is a really fast roller coaster and looks like a lot of fun

[@themeparkreview]

Yes, the supports are steel on White Lightning.

[@jamesm2439]

This park reminds me a lot of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. I love it! :)

[@supermanni500]

Best coaster videos on YT :D

[@MarcusMadurai]

Wow! That thing goes fast!

[@RedM3]

Best ride there! Wooden coasters are the BEST!

[@Kevin_Matz]

Amazing coaster, better then I thought it'd be!

[@nyr36]

Looks awesome!

[@maidenraiser]

Amazing HD quality

[@21xd09]

This looks really fun! I have to ride that soon! This must be the next gen wooden coasters.

[@alanjdubois]

that sure looks like a fun ride!

[@user83719]

I went on that like 20 times in a row , me and my friend LOVE this roller coaster

[@kaishoulddoasmrwhiledrawin6804]

Same I got the front seat every time too lol. Its such a fun ride

[@jamiestainthorpe6133]

Looks awesome

[@dompezzurro8962]

I love it!

[@amarahowens54]

looks smooth for a woodie

[@123marijn321]

Really awesome footage! :)

[@cerysb8497]

i loved the yellow one

[@barraxfn3235]

me to the freedom flyer

[@Matt_Aquila]

I first read the title as CGI and thought, "Bloody hell that's good graphics". Then I read it again ;)

[@kevinnguyen4395]

This is really fun

[@Paneeks1960]

My new favorite wooden coaster, Boy is this f~a~s~t. Whoever had the idea to mount the camera for a side view 2:57 should be promoted. One of the greatest video shots {POV} that I have ever seen. Thanks TPR. You just get better and better~ Rob (^‿◕) Boston

[@TheSpeedrider123]

as awsome as ever, well done gci :D

[@Porsmond]

looks awesome. Gotta get back to Florida next year I think :D

[@maxxyman1330]

I'm not a kid who rides huge rides, but this one looks fun

[@BillyintheSky]

awesome video! I wish Adventure Land on Long Island would wedge something like this in there...

[@WhirlwindDrums]

Awesome!

[@DisneyQueenLyrics1]

Yeah people, it is really that fast. I just came from Fun Spot and this was the second ride I went on. I literally screamed from the top of my lungs and I felt like I was gonna fall out during the twists and turns. Next time im going on the flying one 😂👌🏻

[@danielax1729]

Alexis Anderson same! i was there yesterday lol

[@trinamarieyt]

Omg yess I felt the same way when I went

[@Zickcermacity]

Dag! Could you film more angles on this thing! lol side view rear view. Good preview, definitely have to ride this next time I'm in Fla. :)

[@darkstorminc]

Took my daughter on this last week and she LOVED it. My son though.. liked it but hes only 6. Height requirement is either 46" or 48" I don't recall but it is on their website. Great coaster, nice park. You can get a season pass for the cost of a single day at the bigger parks *cough*Universal*cough* Worth it for those on a budget.

[@lol0924]

Good example for a list of prebuilt coasters shown in RCT2! =)

[@nikoadventures]

I like that ride a lot

[@rollercoastermanful]

Gci's little ride of energy

[@21xd09]

Hey TPR, really big fan of your coaster channel. Question, Do you think theme parks that have wooden coaster might make changes to their wood coasters format, like get new GCI coaster trains, tareing down the old wood coaster and rebuilding it and add new banks and other things? The reason why is PTC has have alot of wooden coasters and soon they might get too rough and shakey. I heard that the GCI cars are very comfertable, smooth, and fast.

[@kurty60]

Good ! Speed and airtimes :))

[@caseycoffey1]

great ride but I feel bad for fun spot because it's right next to one of the best parks in the world

[@stevetraskell726]

+Casey Coffey And what park would that be?

[@Seallupus]

+Steve Traskell Walt Disney World

[@inn0version727]

Seallupus More like the worst

[@christianmartinez6361]

Its next to islands of adventure and universal studios, walt disney world is a little more further from fun spot

[@weefslider]

Also SeaWorld, which kills Universal and Disney in coasters.

[@belisarius8555]

Im not a fan of most wooden rollercoasters but this looks pretty fun

[@Grimmm94]

I've been watching so many of these awesome POV's today, and I started wondering, does this channel actually review theme parks?

[@xcom254]

that looks fun

[@mario8400]

It is but its super fast

[@killerdeej]

it a short ride, but man does it haul ass! looking forward to riding this in november!

[@steven4210]

I did and it was awesome!

[@user83719]

I went to fun spot Orlando 2 months ago and I went on the roller coaster like 20 times it’s so fun lol...

[@DemiD13]

This is new !! Last time I was here they only had go karts. Lol. When did it open???

[@8733598]

We need one of these in Atlanta -

[@drjasonberry8192]

To cold up there

[@daisyramirez2935]

I love wooden coasters

[@PuraVidaProductions1]

Fun Spot Orlando :3

[@mimsy22]

O m g. When was this built and that yellow inverted one as well? I was in Orlando in September but went to magical midway instead of Fun Spot. Defo woulda went if i knew them 2 wer there.

[@Weikert410]

Absolutely love this coaster even at $9 a ride......

[@roccocleavenger3851]

ITS 9$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh thats a lot :(

[@WWJimbo]

rocco cleavenger you can buy an unlimited wristband and ride every ride as many times as you want for 35 dollars which is pretty cheap compared to disney

[@themeparkreview]

That's Freedom Flyer. Here's the POV of that ride: /watch?v=5NK20IRKAYg

[@danielariofrio2263]

Omg isamazing

[@drummer9642]

Hi Robb, are you going to be doing anything on The Smiler at Alton Towers?

[@nickdavis3035]

Nice coaster for kids

[@jbw9999]

This is sped up, right? It looks like it's going double it's rated speed. Also at :56, the sign for Rip Curl is flashing very quickly.

[@dompezzurro8962]

The White Lightning is a wooden coaster in Fun Spot in Orlando, Florida.

[@gtfball10]

Themeparkreview, do you know when Enterprise will open?

[@RobbieGreenwald]

what camera do you use to film?

[@zwoopaman]

Why is the train so short? It does look kind of cute though :)

[@lexiewilliams5805]

Goes up quick

[@themeparkreview]

Nope! Not sped up at all!

[@DarthJJ00]

7nth comment! looks like fun

[@kneebush]

For kids? Nice coaster for anyone, this thing looks like the best new coaster of 2013 IMO. Enoughy of the gimmicky stuff already, this is where it's at.

[@mia-fm5kp]

I was there today and I almost passed out on that ride.

[@trinitybrown2879]

I been on this ride

[@CdH94]

It's a GCI coaster, they're always ridiculously fast and twisty.

[@willj.9145]

speed ROCKS

[@themangler555]

Fast! Me gusta

[@vickischabel4461]

It’s fun but you feel a lot of pressure from the wind on your chest and it’s also really rough

[@Kenzie.reneee]

Do u ride it backwards too?

[@rogan6324]

Is this the park in Orlando? Or Kississimee?

[@kaishoulddoasmrwhiledrawin6804]

Orlando

[@agentM1991]

Why are the supports steel?

[@jbw9999]

On my end, it has to be somehow. Either the compression/conversion or the player itself is speeding it up some.

[@barrettkuntz1331]

I’ve been here and on that first big drop it feels like your FALLING

[@noblewick]

OK, this place was such a DUMP when I went there in February but now after watching this and the Freedom Flyer POV I'm taking it all back

[@123marijn321]

It's not always about speed ;)

[@kiryeohmye8821]

That is in fun spot

[@WyattShipp]

I wish I could ride this...

[@BeanAben]

Best rmc

[@kevinthompson6986]

Isnt This a GCI????

[@LCucu]

California Coaster riders Bruh

[@pinkysupersonic]

i want to go on it

[@Alleghenymike1]

Awesome - bigger is not always better. I much prefer tighter - quicker - more action. Rides like Millennium Force bore me because things happen too slowly.

[@mikol58]

Good.

[@ma11p]

whats the name of this park?

[@NickyD]

they need it

[@DylanTaylorvlogs]

why are wooden coasters getting steel supports.... this isn't the first wooden coaster I've seen with steel supports..... why??

[@kingdomofinsanity3820]

Has to withstand hurricane wind as well as be cheap to maintain

[@weefslider]

This is in Florida; it's humid af here and wood and humidity aren't really a good match.

[@samuelwatson1147]

A lot of airtime on this ride
