What is Au13 mean at californias great America new coaster?
Au13 is a codename for CGA's coaster. We speculate that the coaster's true name may be "Gold Striker." In the code name, 'Au' is the chemical name for gold (see the periodic table), and the 13 refers to the year the ride will debut, which will be 2013. Coincidentally, if we count every coaster Great America has had, both standing/running and removed, this will be the park's 13th coaster to come in.
