Thanks for posting that :thumbs: Man that things flies thru that first part of the ride.
They are a little smaller than your typical train but doesn't bother me at all. From what I read the ride was even faster once it got to its 9-10 run, those videos were of the 1st and 2nd.
White Lightening full test run:

ME TOO! I am actually looking forward to it more than Antarctica. But I am an AIRTIME JUNKIE.
Coaster junkies unite!!
I'm really excited for both projects in very different ways. Antarctica for theming and Fun Spot for thrill. I was already going to SeaWorld before Antarctica, but this expansion, particularly these two new coasters, will make me want to go back to Fun Spot :thumbs:
Same here. Driving by it does not justice online. I love the way it looks coming from the South
OK, I went by Fun Spot America today, and since I was there last they have added quite a few new rides. It appears as the line up of new rides for the expansion will be a Tilt-A-Whirl, Scrambler, Paratrooper, a small 2 story carousel, Rip Curl, Enterprise, the suspended family coaster and the wooden coaster.
Sorry no pics.
And for those not familiar, Rip Curl is one of these:

I've never been on the Enterprise ride, but I like the RipCurl-type attractions of centrifugal (or is it centripetal?) force! :thumbs:

Sounds interesting.
op:I call it a Wipe-Out instead of a Rip-Curl :look: is that bad? :rofl:
OK, I'll start with the news. The Tilt-A-Whirl, Paratrooper, Scrambler, Sky Coaster, Carousel, and Rip Curl are now open and entertaining guests. They are trying to have Freedom Flyer (the family suspended coaster) and Enterprise open tomorrow. And they are hoping to have White Lightning (GCI wood/steel hybrid) open THIS SUNDAY!!!!!! The Tilt-A-Whirl and Rip Curl are brand new and built specially for Fun Spot. The Enterprise is from Six Flags Over Georgia. And the Carousel is from Cypress Gardens. The Paratrooper has been at Fun Spot for a while but was relocated to expand the Go-Kart Tracks. And now for the pics.
And from the other side:
And I had to include this bad boy
