rcjp Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Wow 18 airtime moments! And for the most important thing: the track isn't red/orange!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Â Â Â This Is going to be a top five coaster for a lot of people. Bravo SFMM!!!! Cannot freaking wait to ride this!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcoaster Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This looks AMAZING! Things I'm especially stoked about: * So much airtime! SoCals first airtime machine and the best coaster on the West Coast (and almost certainly a new top ten steel coaster). Normally I'm more suspicious when a park says something will have 18 airtime moments, but given RMCs track record I think they'll deliver (Robbs airtime counting video on NTAG seems appropriate). * High five element (during the turnaround) AND two (!) Top Gun rolls! I'll admit I was worried this would be filled with barrel rolls and loops, but I can't think of a single better "gimmick" that they could've included. Looks so fun! * One continuous track with 2 lifts means we get a long ride, retain some racing/dueling, and they can't shut down one side when the park is quiet. * It's scheduled (yes, we know, SFMM) to open Spring 2015. Not fall 2015, not 2016. So not that long of a wait * All the obnoxious pre-announcement speculation-complainers on here (you know who you are) were completely wrong - it still has two lifts, no twisted first drop (thanks for those 15 pages of whining, BTW), and not a ton of inversions. Â Well, time to go check the other announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totopez Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks awesome! I am so happy I have already convinced my wife to do a West Coast vacation next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm just gonna put this right here... Â OMFG HIGH FIVE OMFG!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Can't wait to ride this thing, love how it still has the original Colossus vibe. The name now seems very fitting after seeing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 ^^Now let's hope they are able to synchronise the two trains so that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yep, it's exactly what I thought it would be, my predictions were very close! It's insane! It will no doubt be better than every coaster in California! And just maybe, top 10 worldwide? Now we have to wait until Spring or so. It's pretty much a big out and back now, but with the layout sorta cut like it is, it will never be dull! I wish I could see a straight POV of this whole thing, but I'm glad I'm getting what I am. Â - I'm still calling it Colossus, the name is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I kind of think that RMC is kicking the great Intamins and the two B&M's out of top ten one by one. Kind of like an icebreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 ^^I actually think the name doesn't sound too bad (certainly better than steel/iron colossus). Now, I'm not at al disappointed and I'm sure that, being a RMC, it'll ride ride awesomely. However, I did expect a slightly longer layout (maybe I'm not the only one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hmmmm..Back Alley. Does that mean a freshly painted Scream? Â I love the look of this ride. Amazing job RMC! this and Cyclone do not disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 All I can say about this is, WHY DID YOU STEEL CYCLONES BLUE TRACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 A scream re-boot would be welcomed. Â I was hoping that SFNE's cyclone would get the blue track as it was themed red white and blue. But they went with a more apoctolyptic/storm theme.

PKI Jizzman Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 WHAT. Holy f'n s. This is incredible. Isn't there a H"ow much airtime is too much airtime thread?" I think it just got blown to pieces by this new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This is gonna sound lame, but I literally wanted to cry, that's how excited I am for this. We're finally getting an amazing RMC/airtime machine/OMFG coaster in California! Within driving distance for me! So fucking excited for this.

thrillgeek Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Wow! SFMM finally will get a good coaster! Â Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 15 years Goliath, Tatsu, X2 and Full Throttle are pretty freaking awesome coasters. I'm glad they didn't add a million inversions on Twisted Colossus. Instead we have an airtime filled wicked coaster! Is it spring 2015 yet???

JonnyRCT3 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My God! This looks amazing. Â Mandatory complaint: it's a bit short though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This is fantastic, so much airtime and lots of dualling moments. I absolutely love the high five element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Johnson Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My God! This looks amazing. Â Mandatory complaint: it's a bit short though. Â Unless I am completely wrong, by the way it was edited, I think you go around the entire ride twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I personally don't get the complaint that the layout doesn't look that good. I've heard it by a few, and I honestly do not agree with them at all. The layout looks great! Cool elements, and they included the element I wanted! And airtime hill with a zero g stall area flying over it! I wish that the high five element would've been a bit longer, but overall I am very pleased. Hopefully six flags will have it duel consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This is amazing. I think that it has potential to be RMC's best creation yet. The blue/green combo looks especially good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
