People overlooked it but Screamscape also is reporting a rumor of La Ronde getting a superloop from their source. Don't singl SF praises yet, they could still being cloning some superloops, 4D's, and skyscreamers in 2018
Six Flags has little concern for capacity. They have recently put 4D's in to parks with 3.2M+ visitors(SFGAm and SFGAdv). They are placing a RMC Raptor at SFFT which has even lower capacity than the 4D it got back in 2015. The last 2 coasters at SFFT have capacity fitting of small parks and it's not a small park. They feel it seems waiting is fine and lines may boost fast pass sales.
Edit..mean SFFT not SFMM
I'm sure RMC will have price incentives to help this make it to every SF park.
RMC is in high demand for all their products, they don't need to cut prices. RMC could stay more than busy just with conversions, now this is just expanding their portfolio.
8 person per train even with 3 trains on a conveyor makes it a capacity still low. You still have to have things blocked for safety. Perfect example is Maverick they run 6 trains with 2 loading station and it still has limited capacity that causes major back ups. 3 trains instead of 6, with 8 passengers instead of 16 per train, will make the line backup worse than Maverick. Not to mention were talking CF operations vs SF.
Not known. But if you go by RMC initial statements on Raptors is that is was designed as a high thrill coaster for smaller parks. If the target market is smaller parks they wouldn't make the ride expensive b/c then smaller parks would not be able to afford it. Trex's are suppose to be the big park coaster and thus will likely have a big park price tag.
