Looks awesome, I will probably head down there in late april if it's ready and get some rides on this, and get a Cedar Fair season pass, that way I can get to PKI and CP after about 4-5 years of non visiting.

Looks like a fun coaster! To bad it is only 85ft. tall. O well should be a fun ride.

You knew about Prowler including the stats, layout, etc before all us. Or you knew that they were getting a CGI coaster which everyone and their mother has known since June when the materials and track bender showed up there?

While it's 85 feet tall there is something like 110 feet of elevation difference throughout the ride. Also height is a function of nothing when it comes to a coaster being good or not. Can't wait to try this one out.

It looks like a Cool Coaster and a nice compliment to Timber Wolf (TW is a Twister and Prow is an O&B). It would be even better if there was a Tunnel.

Probably not considering they announced the name Prowler a week ago and Dick Kinzel said WOF is getting a GCI woodie months ago. The only thing they really released today that was new is the layout/stats :roll:.

Agreed, I rarely care about the height anymore....but this ride looks just okay to me. I'm not overly excited about it, but I love any wooden coaster with Millennium Flyers, so I'll be excited to ride if I ever find myself down there!

^Woe, there, Jackluver, don't be letting just any old stranger pick you up! That's not a very safe way to be living young lady. Let that be a lesson, boys and girls, stranger danger!!!! 8) And if you're still in college by the time I actually get down there, by all means, pile in, cause by that time, i'll be taking my grandkids too! :wink:

It sounds like some creepy pedophile to me. "Chris Hanson the ride"?

At least this coaster will use the terrain and natural trees.

Ironic post based on the name of the coaster alone!

I think the ride looks great, as for it not being tall, its drop is only 5 feet less then vipers so that's not an issue. Should be a good ride.
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
