The Gravity Group
The Gravity Group, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is an American-based roller coaster design firm. The firm was founded in July 2002 out of the engineering team of the famed but now defunct Custom Coasters International. The core group of designers and engineers at The Gravity Group have backgrounds in civil, structural and mechanical engineering. Their experience comes from work on over 40 different wooden roller coasters around the world. The first coaster designed under the name of "The Gravity Group" is called Hades and opened at Mount Olympus Theme Park in 2005. The Gravity Group also designed the currently #2 ranked The Voyage at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana, which opened in May 2006. These first two accomplishments of the team have been received with great success by both the industry and coaster enthusiasts alike.
The Gravity Group designed the Ravine Flyer II at Waldameer in Erie Pennsylvania, which was opened at the start of the 2008 season. In 2009 the Fireball was opened at Happy Valley in China, becoming China's first wooden roller coaster. In 2011 Quassy Amusement Park opened Wooden Warrior, the company's sixth wooden roller coaster. The Gravity Group was also involved in the rebuilding of Libertyland's Zippin Pippin at Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The Gravity
by: Sparks The RescueYou're the gravity that pulls me down
I'm the satellite crashing through to the ground
We'll throw a parade on the day that I return
Darling will I ever learn? Darling will I ever learn?
All my weakness gets caught up in my knees when you get near
I said I'm on my feet just fucking rising up again
I'm back against old ways (back against old ways)
With an ominous tongue that screams I don't belong here
I'm not loosing any ground just burning up in your atmosphere
Come now and signal the escape
You're the gravity that pulls me down
I'm the satellite crashing through to the ground
We'll throw a parade on the day that I return
Darling will I ever learn? Darling will I ever?
Five four three two one now I'm crashing to the ground
I'll stand up like a man if you think that it could to help my heart expand
(to help my heart expand)
My calico decisions in your hand Could you leave me standing here?
Come now and signal the escape
You're the gravity that pulls me down
I'm the satellite crashing through to the ground
We'll throw a parade on the day that I return
Darling will I ever learn? Darling will I ever learn?
I need to see an ocean an ocean (and let the water cover me)
I need to be by your side by your side (while we're standing by the sea)
You're the gravity that pulls me down
I'm the satellite crashing through to the ground
We'll throw a parade on the day that I return
Darling will I ever learn?
