  1. No; it became a disfigured oval of track. Two identical (very close to, in reality) sides you must bear through twice
  2. RMC said they had interested clients and that description says "You'll race through soild streets of steel".
  3. Exactly, most of the people complaining have never ridden a RMC coaster. I'll bet that all those haters go away once the ride actually opens and they see how awesome it is. I will never deny how "short" and uninspired the layout is, for the most part. Colossus really got chopped!
  4. Ah, I was just thinking with that long of an exposure and the highlights in the bottom, you'd need a significant assitance dropong the exposure even at min. apeture. Guess not.
  5. ^Ah, yes. I agree every bit with you. I forgot to include the post above you.
  6. ^Pretty sure it is. Afterall, a msifire or outage could casue the train to rollback.
  7. And then it's possible to take photos like this: /// Marcus How many ND's did you have to stack for that? Or did you use a mounted one, haha?
  8. Interesting, I actually quite enjoyed the unorthodox helix up high before diving towards the river. I thought Great Bear was a superb ride, and I never really got the hate that it catches from many of my enthusiast friends, but that's just my opinion! EDIT: ^Holy crap Loch Ness Monster's drop in the back or second to back row is pure awesomeness, I feel like I'll be killed in the back being whipped around the end of the turn into that drop! One of my favorite drops to be honest (in the front, it is incredibly lackluster though). As for the lamest drop I have been on? Probably Hurler at KD, just pure garbage. I found Great Bear's helix incredibly forceful. I haven't ridden it in 5 years, but if I recall correctly I'd rank it as one of the more forceful B&M helices. It is what makes this ride so neat. I disagree every bit with you about Lochness. It has the best Arrow drop in the back rows (other than maybe X2). I was absolutely shocked and caught off guard this summer - I had no idea it would be that good!
  9. Very good points. I checked with the queue and ride ops first, and they gave me the clear on a busy day.
  10. El Toro is my #1 overall, but I gotta to give my home park some love. Boss's double down drop is a real treat!
  11. Can you really do C? I saw some people do it this weekend and I thought it wasn't allowed. That will be great if it is though! B and C are prehaps the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I got 5 rides on Toro in the last row by B and got a duplicate front row ride on Nitro because of C. So yes. C is possible.
  12. Yes, it defiantely has a wide radius snd turns late. The transition is pretty flat compared to other non-inverting loops of various companies.
  13. ^Whats the difference? EDIT: Wrong page of thread. Adding quotes... Anyway, RMC is hired by companies to build other rides. Its the opposite of the more common practice.
  14. ^Dominator cold is also weird. That loop lasts so long! ^^B&M Standups offer more sophisticated layout and transitions, but I'll take Shockwave over them.
  15. Maybe Great Adventure found use of their lake *incoming capacity screaming*.
  16. ^Agreed. I found Shockwave very good.
  17. I skipped Superman: Ultimate Fluff on my trip. Why? the wait was 2 hours each time we checked. The ride is garbage it's so boring. I would rather take a few hits to head on GL than waste precious time for a lame ride. A preztel loop justifies nothing for me when there are other pretzel loops out there that come included with a fantastic layout. Some, such as Manta and Tatsu, that I have been on and others I haven't. Did I mention the ride does nothing? I have already been on SFOG's and SFGAm, the first of which is actually very nicely placed and landscaped, including tunnels. SFGAd/m both sit in a grass field, making the experience that much more boring as your eyes wonder around due to your bordem on the ride.
  18. I didn't care for i305's first drop. The airtime is good but being in a dirt field takes so much senation away from the drop. Visuallizing the true size of the first drop is hard when theres not much to compare to. It seems like it's no more than a 100ft drop. Combine that with flying through the drop really quickly, and you forget its even there. The trains are kind of bulky too and thua any other row but the front really lacks the already-small view. Another thing is that the apperance of size is a very relative thing. When you look across the park at i305, you mostly see the yellow lift spine dwarfing the red track, and it makes the ride realatively small by a lot.
  19. The only convincing part of the corkscrew is the left side's single little support that is visable. But I sont think you're crazy anymore. Good catch. The true teller will be finding a good picture of the track and looking at the double spine's rotation. Does anyone thibk they could get a similiar picture zoomed in? Or maybe take a helicopter tour?
  20. Unless you want to call it a CCI/RMC hybrid. Want to, yes. But its steel on steel so thats by definition.
  21. Skip Superman, and ride Green Lantern - IMO a much better rode than Superman with some very odd airtime sensations.
  22. Star Flyers are really fun. I'm itching to get on a 400 ft model.
  23. What I see: -Intamin's "extreme high stress" double spinned track. Me likey already.
  24. This is unarguably a steel coaster in my book. Its not even one bit a hybrid.
  25. IMO, make a bee line for El Toro. We hopped on right after opening on a Friday Fright Fest night in 2014 and got six rides in the magic seat before leaving my seat. Then, we headed to Kingda Ka for a mere 30 min wait.
