Take a Virtual Ride on Gold Striker

California’s Great America released today an on-ride video of the park’s new-for-2013 wooden coaster, Gold Striker. The Great Coasters International (GCI) coaster is in the midst of the testing phase.

Watch the video below:

The coaster seems slightly sluggish in a few parts, but hopefully that will improve as testing continues. Regardless, it looks like a great coaster.

Are you excited to ride Gold Striker? The coaster will open sometime in May. Share your thoughts about the video in the comments section below.
