Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park I Roaring Timbers | GCI Terrain Woodie | 2022

[roomraider]

I mentioned the other day in the rides you didnt know existed thread that there was a big new ride to come soon.
Well now I have permission to post it so here it is. A nice little GCI Terrain woodie has popped up in Vietnam
Oh and its already fully built and almost ready for testing.

So they flat-out built a major coaster without anybody knowing and didn't even reveal its existence until it was ready to go. Never in a million years would any park even begin to pull off this scenario again.

Aw, it's so pretty

Pho Quoc is becoming Vietnam's hotspot for coasters visibly. This and Wrath of Zeus.

Also, the good thing about investing in huge coasters now is that many other suppliers have caught up and considerably improved their game. A large scale Vekoma launch and a new GCI woodies now sounds arguably better than their early 00s counterpart.

Wow, that looks fantastic!

Another batch of photos showing off this rather picturesque woodie.

That's a gorgeous little ride. Looks short, but I absolutely love the terrain usage. I feel like if Thorpe was to get a woodie for Project Exodus, it would be something like this, minus the terrain usage.

Looked this place up on maps.

Its on a tiny little island, off the coast of a somewhat bigger island, off the bottom corner of Vietnam/Cambodia.

Awesome.

Rare points to the first goon there, and kudos to the construction crew - not the easiest location.

I know the focus is on the amazing-looking coaster, but can we have a minute to discuss the ridiculous cable car in the distance? Absolutely enormous concrete support towers with crazy distances and cable sag between them!

This looks really nice.
The last twisty turns look amazing. Want to see a pov of this one.

NOICE!

Makes sense that this would come out now, the Vietnam virtual theme park expo is presently ongoing

 

[JustLarry]

So why does it look like the pillars from the first drop are right on the return sides track?

Honestly looks like one of the best GCIs

 

[TheCoasterCruiser]

That is beautiful.

So why does it look like the pillars from the first drop are right on the return sides track?

They are just next to it. It's likely because the return side is banking to the right and there is no space to laterally brace this turn on the left side due to the bottom of the first drop. So, they built up tall footers to absorb that load.

Im told that Engineers have flown out to get the woodie signed off this week. So hopefully depending on Covid we will see this running soon.

Testing is under way
