^ I saw you take a selfie on the way up the lift.

Not bad quality for such a small camera.

Awesome stuff right there. It was a blast, except I was in the shot the whole time. My kids have pointed out that no matter how scary the ride is I always look like I'm sitting on the couch watching TV.

Awesome video and pics, Mike! And that GoPro is pretty awesome, Bob!

I really gotta get myself to Fun Spot one of these days and ride White Lightning...

I have no idea how you can take pictures like that. I'm terrified I'll lose a lighter and would probably have a heart attack holding a high-end fragile camera.

I have a strap that goes around my across my torso so I wasn't overly worried about losing the camera, plus I had my kung foo grip on it as well The challenge came mid way thru the ride when the Gopro felt liek it was starting to slip off my head. I had on hand holding that while the other was holding the camera and snapping away.

Had a blast on those new coasters when we there Wednesday night, I will be back to ride them again whenever I am over that way.

White Lightning is one of those hidden little gems in Orlando. Such a great ride, some really decent airtime and pretty quick little coaster.

Not to mention all those hurricanes :rofl:

BTW, I failed to mention that the coaster looks like a wonderful addition to Fun Spot. I am curious as to why Bobwadd didn't ride. Am I missing something?

 

[bobwadd]

^ No, you're not missing something. Just a little physical incident from the week before.

I finally rode White Lightning and was thouroughly impressed. Probably one of the best wooden coasters I've ever been on. GCI makes a damn good ride.

Agreed 100% it was a pleasent surprise and next time I am there it gets another spin for sure.

Got to ride White Lightening for the first time on Thursday and it is a beautiful thing. Incredibly smooth and packs a big time punch for a ride as short as it is.
