Gravity Group testing their new coaster trains

A few weeks ago, we "loaned out" the coaster track at The Raven for our friends at The Gravity Group to try out the prototype of their Timberliner train. It was great fun to watch the testing and see their delighted faces. They took their toy and went back to Cincinnati and the PTC trains are back on our tracks for the season.

@iParalyzer OMG! I totally forgot about this comment! That's hilarious.

Oh wait... that means that trims may have to be added to the Voyage. If it goes really fast.

Well all the track at Holiday World have junior sized PTC's so... their coasters, yeah. Others, no. Like Thunder Run at SFKK has the high back, which shows that it's a standard PTC. There's also a 3 bench PTC, which can be found on rides like Racer at Kings Island. PTC is also trying to make a 1 bench style... but I don't much like it personally.

This tiny part of a train looks to run as fast as a normal full train on Raven. Wonder what a full train would run like! Guess we will find out on Voyage. If it goes any faster than it already does...oh man I cant imagine! Cant wait to try it out!

This is very interesting - thanks for posting this.

So I'm guessing that all wooden tracks are of standard demensions? Ha...It would be funny to see Raven trains on the Voyage if that's true. ^-^

Anybody test them out before they took them over here in Cincinnati? And are you planning to use their trains next season?

nearly look like b&ms floorless trains
