May 27th !!!

^ I know, I was like wait, are people visiting this thread from the year 2004?

OMFG when did this happen!!!

A Justice League Ride and another nice "little" surprise for 2017 sounds about perfect to me. To those worried about the SFMM element not appreciating it or not maintaining the effects, I don't see that as an excuse not to invest in a more diverse park. It's that diversity of attractions that will bring a better crowd into the park.

Not to me. The Joker isn't suppose to be pretty. He's suppose to be creepy and a little extreme, and I thing they did a great job. This ride looks bad ass.

I love the way the purple hits the dark wood and crossovers so many times, giving the ride such a condensed, twisted look. This may be may favorite RMC in terms of looks. It's beautiful. In addition, this looks like it's going to provide a very Medusa (SFM) like ride which is very exciting for the area.

There is also work going on next to Green Lantern. I wonder if we're finally looking at a DC Universe expansion.

Oh My God please go to Knotts. It's a day you will never forget. Between the original Haunt, revamped Ghostrider and Ghost Town, The Hanging, Chicken dinner, and just old fashion fun, Knotts just can't be beat imo.

Well that depends. I knew I would probably not get back to Kings Dominion any time soon, so I spent 3 really quality days there so that I could gain an appreciation of every single attraction, especially during busy days.

Yeah they're similar yet different. So comparing them can be confusing, and I'd wind up with a few of them being a tie. It's a bit like comparing Intamin hypers, they're all just varying degrees of awesome.

^ Well to be fair I wouldn't compare Outlaw Run to something like Storm Chaser. I would compare it to Lightning Rod and Wildfire, both of which look even better. But I guess the point is, the great thing about RMC creations is that each is awesome in it's own way. Even the weakest one is still better than most other coasters.

aww man...... the Twisted Colossus crazies will be here shortly with 1000 reasons for your opinion being false I don't know why. It's not like RMC has ever built anything less than a stellar ride anyway, and if they're getting better and better every year, of course both Storm Chaser and Joker should both be better than TC. Keep em coming!

It will be interesting comparing Storm Chaser to The Joker as I will hopefully be riding both within a few weeks of each other. I am LOVING these RMC projects!

I hope the ride planners go ride Journey to Atlantis and come to their senses before considering that. I'm betting the "water" coaster will be a water propelled raft coaster as part of the water park expansion. No CGA is due for a full fledged steel coaster. And with Joker opening up the road, I don't see CF messing around...

Got to check out New Revolution :The VR Coaster yesterday, and was impressed. The whole experience is very well done, and it's been awhile since I've seen everyone clap and cheer and rave like they did this one. After all the negative early talk about what a terrible idea this was, looks like Six Flags got the last laugh this time. It's truly something that needs to be experienced at least once. I also like what they did with the area surrounding the ride. It looks great.

Agreed. The video is sped up a bit. Look at the guys walking around, they are more than speed walking lol. Also, unless it was recorded by little people, those aren't normal sounding voices. The ride still looks amazing.

^ That was my point as well. It's not like this isn't being tested in other parks as well, so I'm taking more of a wait and see on this. I personally think this could be awesome or meh, could disappear in a couple of months or become the next "thing". Either way I plan on trying it as a unique experience at least once. It's certainly more interesting than the "audio on coasters" flop from the Shapiro era.

By the way, these trains are AWESOME!

^ I didn't find that to be the case at all on Thunder Run at CW, where VR was tested last year. No one got sick and the experience was very enjoyable. If it's in sync, your body quickly adjusts to the movement and is more in line with the VR than the moving train. Is it for everyone? No it's not which is why it is OPTIONAL.

SF doesn't allow riders to have a camera strapped onto them (a policy I support) but they want the riders to all (or mostly) have a big device strapped to their face? Once one of these visors comes off at 50 mph I imagine the project may be quietly canceled. Hope no one gets hurt. Glad the SF nearest me won't be doing this and they're getting a RMC this year! I wouldn't get too comfortable with that idea if I were you...

Who comes out the winner in all of this? SAMSUNG

I'm thinking the headsets will be cleaned and set up on your head before you actually reach the coaster itself, just like you get 3D glasses before sitting down to watch a movie. Probably right at the moment they ask how many in your party before sending you to the overflow queue.

^ I agree with this. I know when I visit a park for he first time, I want to ride everything, ESPECIALLY the infamous ones people seem to hate. I want to either decide I agree with the masses, or as what often happens, I end up not getting the hate. Personally I both love and hate Green Lantern depending on the ride I get.

^ MagicMountainMan has been posting here along time, and knows what he's talking about.

I'm not big on a Giga at SFMM. They just aren't spending the type of money that would make a 3,000ft long Giga worth it. lol No thanks. I'll take the record breaking Dive coaster any day. Anyway, it looks like Justice League is next for the park anyway, which means we have a while before it's time to complain about the next coaster. At least until the announcement comes that Viper is closing forever...
