The event will take place on March 1st (Sunday) and is open to all active coaster club members and up to 3 guests. “Please keep in mind that the Prowler site is still an active construction site, which means you might get some dirt on you. There are also trip hazards and nails scattered throughout the site. There is no climbing on the ride and all tourists must stick with the group. Photography is encouraged.” Jason at Coaster Community is handling all the RSVPs for the tour, and they are required by Tuesday, Feb. 24th, so send your request to jason@coastercommunity.com with your contact information, the club/group you are part of and how many guests you want to bring.

  (9/1/08) Worlds of Fun make the big announcement about Prowler today, showing off artwork and revealing all the details about their new GCI wooden coaster project. The ride begins with a climb up the lift hill, the only feature of the ride that will be visible above the treeline before riders plunge down 85 feet into a ravine. From here Prowler will take you through an endless series of speed hills hugging the very wooded ground below the coaster along it’s 3,074 foot course. The overall cost of the coaster will be $8 million and will feature two Millennium Flyer trains, each with a custom paint job: Metallic Greet and Metallic Blue w/ Black Trim or Metallic Copper and Metallic Blue with Black Trim. I’ve posted much of the artwork here on Screamscape or you can download and view the animated videos at the official website. I’ve got to say that I love the ground level aspect of this coaster, which is one of the things that I’ve always loved about The Beast at Kings Island that is almost never replicated with any other coaster design.
