Recent discussion about white lightning has led me to research its new park in Johannesburg South Africa.
Gold Reef City's website can be found here->http://www.goldreefcity.co.za/<-
The park is home to five thrilling roller coasters and many other attractions.
Here are their 3 most popular thrill rides.

Thank You for viewing and I would love for someone who has been to the park to do a full trip report.

I have been interested in the park for many many years. If given the option to go to any park in the world I think I may choose this one, if for no other reason than much isn't known about it (and Anaconda looks amazing). In fact i don't think I know anyone personally who has been there.

TPR does have a couple trip reports though http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/page.php?pageid=294.

^ For anyone too lazy to click the link and search, here's a summary of the trip reports:
Tower of Terror is apparently painful, even though its the main attraction in the park, Anaconda is the most intense inverted coaster ever built (at least in the opinion of the guy who posted the trip report), Golden Loop is supposed to be pretty good, and the park is incredibly empty. Also, in my opinion, the theming there is pretty good! Links to the reports:
