Roller Coasters Taupo - GCI Wooden Coaster (Photo heavy)

Hello everyone, welcome to my project Taupo!

Taupo is a GCI Terrain wooden roller coaster, with a theme based around the Great Lake Taupo, and the Supervolcano Taupo! The roller coaster's specialty is night rides, but it's also a great ride during the day.

Sit up right, Hold on tight. Get ready to soar over the mountains and over the lake here on Taupo. Scream through tunnels, and watch out for the flames as you dodge mountain walls, and through the Taupo Supervolcano.

With a top-speed of 57 mph, you run though 4840ft of track. With two lift hills, you go through 13 airtime hilsl with 6.1 seconds of airtime, and a ride time of 3:10!

You start out with a left turn to the lift hill,

Next you plummet down the 106ft S-shaped drop, one of the few in the world!

After that it becomes a series of airtime hills.

Watch out for the warning signs!

Scenery and themeing are still a work in progress, but they're coming along very nicely!

Here is one of two tunnels on this ride!

After the tunnel it's a few small banks (light airtime) into the mountain.

After you find out what's in the mountain, you are greeted by a triple up into the best drop on the entire ride!

The drop also has a on-ride photo camera at the bottom, check out these guys enjoying the ride! (By the way, if you noticed anything I've been following the same train the entire time.

That is Taupo everyone! Thanks for checking out my project, and give me some comments and suggestions! I've been working as much as I can with the themeing as I can! The waterfall I just added today, and I think I still have work on it as well! Mainly just scenery in general. I wanted to do more stuff with the queue as well.

Speaking of the queue, The queue does have it's own music! (Sort of it's own...) It is using the IMAScore Mystic Timbers soundtrack, which fits the ride very well! (I do not own the music, and the music will not be played during any part of the video when it comes out.

I can't wait to show you all the themeing that went into this ride, and I also can't wait to show off what this ride looks like at night (it's really cool by the way...)
