YAY FOR THREAD NECROMANCY! Anyways, time for some rides I found while browsing RCDB via the random coaster function. http://rcdb.com/4332.htm?p=0 How is this even listed? http://rcdb.com/8827.htm Quite possibly the strangest suspended I have ever seen http://rcdb.com/3313.htm?p=14097 Powered Side Friction Kiddie Coaster. Do I need to say anything more?

All of RCDB's pictures of Goofy's Sky School are of it before the retheme.

Untamed at Canobie Lake Park

Borg Assimilator

2013, The coaster was Nighthawk. When was the last time you... rode a looping coaster without OTSRs?

Transformers at USO is my favorite.

Dysentery

yesterday (I had felt like I had to poop for several hours before it) When was the last time you.... rode a coaster in it's debut year?

Whistlestop Park

If you have had a lengthly discussion on the benefits of different types of restraints If you have TPR, TPR's Youtube channel, and RCDB all bookmarked/favorited If you quote TPR POVs, Photo TRs, or forum posts while on a coaster If you notice airtime in weird places (car rides, kiddie coasters, etc.) If you are capable of identifying parks and coasters just from a picture, with no other hint If, when a roller coaster is seen in a commercial or TV show, you try to figure out which one it is If family/friends challenge you to do either of the last two. If you count down the days until a new coaster opens. If you have discussed if there is a difference between negative Gs and airtime.

So, how does Intimidator ride with the seatbelts?

You know, an aquatrax would actually sort of make sense for HH, given that it's a water park...

12 PPH?

but I have always heard MF doesn't have airtime...

I think it's an RMC.

AND NOW... THE MOMENT A FEW OF YOU WERE SORT OF WAITING FOR.... RMC MEAN STREAK! Steel Streak Height: 165 feet Speed: over 65 mph Inversions: 3 Ride layout: First drop is made steeper Second hill/turn is made into an 110 degree overbank, as well as the hill/turn after it turnaround thingy that wraps around the lift is made into a hammerhead turn (think B&M Hyper) Turn after hammerhead/turnaround has 90 degree banking flat track in between that turn and the next turn is replaced with a barrel roll airtime hill between turn after barrel roll and 180 under lift hill has a bigger drop hill between the track leading in and out of the hammerhead is turned into a Zero-G Stall Barrel roll added during straight bit under supports. Now for one you guys didn't ask for, but I really wanted to do: Great White at Morey's Piers Unnamed Great White RMC Height: 120 Feet Speed: over 55 MPH Inversions: 2 Layout: Prelift tunnel under pier is altered to contain a Barrel Roll (I think this would be cool and would be quite marketable.) First drop now near-vertical First turnaround is now a SGAm Goliath-style overbank Second turnaround now has far steeper banking Third turnaround now has 90 degree banking Airtime hill through lift supports is now a zero-g stall Turn back on to the pier is turned into a Millennium Force style "victory turn" (but smaller, obviously)

Expedition Everest

Silver Dollar City

Unnamed Mighty Canadian Minebuster RMC: Height: 95 Feet Speed: Over 57 MPH Inversions: 2 The turn after the lift hill is now part of the drop Airtime hill after the waterslide on the "out" run is turned into a barrel roll Turnaround is turned into overbank hill over the walkway to the pink/purple slide is turned into a Zero-G stall Helix at the end has much steeper banking than it currently has, with 90-degree banking in the tunnel Next up: Either Great White from Morey's Piers or Mean Streak.

Verbolten at BGW

Hyper Coaster

Hades 360 Goudurix or Ninja (SFOG)?

/\ What the heck is that? Anyway, time for some more hypothetical RMC goodness given to a crappy wooden coaster. Today's subject: Darien Lake's infamous Predator!(sorry, no layout pic for this one) Steel Predator/Lake Monster: Height: 110 Feet Speed: over 55 mph Inversions: 3 Airtime hill after first drop is turned into a Zero-G Stall First turnaround turned into overbank (NTaG variety) Curving airtime hill remains the same Second turnaround turned into a "twist and shout" element ala SFGAm's Goliath Second airtime hill after twist and shout/turnaround is turned into a Zero-G roll Final turnaround in the supports is turned into a cutback once again, feel free to suggest what woodie I should do next for this! (for those who want to see me do Bandit at Movie Park Germany, I already did the Georgia Cyclone, and those two have the same basic layout (Cyclone Clone)

I have another RMC layout idea, this time for one of the most infamous RCCA woodies: Iron Express (Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid) Stats: Height: 135 feet Inversions: 3 Speed: Over 50 MPH Mockup layout of Coaster Express for reference: First drop is made far steeper, with the helix thingy after it turned into a NTaG-style overbank. Hill with 45-degree turn is made into a 153 (the wtf inducing element from Outlaw Run) 180 Degree turnaround is turned into an overbank similar to the one on SFGAm's Goliath Helix after turnaround is removed, and the airtime hill is turned into a Zero-G Stall Turn after airtime hill/zero-G stall now has 90 degree banking Bunny hill under turnaround supports remains, with a barrel roll added after. Feel free to suggest the woodie I should give the hypothetical RMC treatment to next!

If you know what an inversion other than a loop or corkscrew is called without anyone telling you. If you put thought into what order you should ride the coasters at a certain park. If you can identify a ride manufacturer by a ride's track type. If you know the difference between B&M and Giovanola track. If you can easily tell an Arrow looper from a Vekoma death machine. (not that Arrows can't be death machines) If you think hell is a giant TOGO stand-up. If you have ever gotten into a fight over coaster stats/rankings If you have ever watched a park's virtual POV for their new coaster If your favorite sounds include "woodie going up chain lift" and "B&M roar" If you consider trim brakes "the enemy"
