  • East Coast(er) General was the very first non-employee to ride the coaster immediately following early morning testing at the start of the media preview event and even got the entire train to himself. This is that ride and it was only 36° F (2° C) at the time, so the coaster was running slower than usual. We'll post the mounted POV he filmed when the train was running faster that afternoon on Wednesday, so you can compare the two.
    Texas Sting Ray, which opened to the public the day after this event, is the tallest, fastest and longest wooden coaster in the Lone Star State. The GCI (Great Coasters International) hybrid wooden coaster has a 96 foot (29m) tall lift hill with a 57°, 100 foot (30.5m) drop thanks to the elevated terrain the coaster is built on. Reaching a top speed of 55 mph (88.5 km/h), the ride also features large 76° banked turns, 16 different airtime hills and a 100 foot (30.5m) long tunnel along its 3,379 feet (1030m) of track.
    This SeaWorld park is located in San Antonio, Texas.

    This ride was super fast & pretty scary to be honest, the first drop makes you feel like you’re about to fly out of your seat and your whole body feels like it’s about to flip out with all the strength this ride is packing & the turns are super sharp and strong! It is a lot bigger/taller in person as well, especially when you’re finally up there at the top of the ride before the drop. Lots of speed for sure on the string ray.

    • @nathonizamboni875
      @nathonizamboni875 4 года назад +10

      They usually take it lighter with the Gs actually. Because the track is made of wood they have to or it will wear out much faster. It probably feels more intense due to the natural roughness of wooden track compared to steel.

    • @SonOfFurzehatt
      @SonOfFurzehatt 4 года назад +1

      My pet hypothesis is that it's to do with the seats and restraints. Wooden coasters tend to have flat, hard benches that create pressure points, rather than the moulded plastic seats that spread your weight. They also tend to have a loose lap bar that lets you move around more and feel the Gs.

    It was a rough, jerky ride! Killed my neck lol. But very fun and extremely fast!! Definitely one of the fastest "wooden" coasters I've ever been on. The initial drop is insane. It's so much steeper than it looks in the video. You literally feel like you are going to fly out of your seat and somersault forwards!!

  • @Stephenp503

      @amroge8703 4 года назад +3

      Gene Bone, Alright, I get good airtime on GCIs. Also don’t be a twat and put two comments explaining why my OPINION is wrong! Maybe ride ops don’t like you and staple you for fun? Also, Reilly Walker, that doesn’t mean they don’t get airtime. Almost every GCI I’ve ridden has good airtime, however, because of the intense lateral forces and the twister layouts, which are stronger overall, it just gets a bit overlooked.

I am not a roller coaster enthusiast and had never been on one with a significant drop. I did not know that your stomach feels like it is in your throat when you drop and I did not like it.

      If you start at Steel Eel and walk towards Great White, you'll pass a roller coaster built in 2017 called Wave Breaker. When you pass that roller coaster, you'll pass by great white's entrance. Continue on that path past the river ride and you'll reach the enterance. The ride is positioned in a way that when you go up the lift hill, you'll be facing away from the path. I hadn't been there is six years before I went, so I relied on the map heavily.
