Yea the Green side looks insane, the side view looks semi normal.

 

How has no one talked about the head choppers on the Blue side?!

Just noticed that. And it looks like it's gonna follow through the entire drop, which is awesome.

 

That's gonna be some surprise ejector air coming down that double down. This is shaping up to be insane!

Great catch...yes head choppers galore.

[Manic Monte]

I think it's the angle of that picture. Still, looks amazing.

[coasterlvr]

i want to see some other angles of that. cause it looks all kinds of wtf? there. lol

 

but those RMC trains are damn comfortable, so that will just be awesome.

[Mater]

It reminds me of what that Jersey coaster looked like all twisted up sitting in the ocean after that storm.

[Password121]

I think the angle distorts it more than it actually is. No, it's not a traditional double down by any means, but if you look closely you can see the transition (being generally flat) is a little longer than it seems from the picture. It covers about two or three steel beams, it's not quite as immediate as it looks. I still want to see other angles, though. This looks really good.

[Manic Monte]

^ It is the angle. From the side it's a lot flatter. Still, at the speed it will be going, that is going to be a highlight.

[Mater]

Okay yeah it was the angle.

[DJeXeL]

^Good thing cause I was like WTF is that?!? I would've rode it regardless but just saying.

[G-Force!]

That other angle made it look so wrong. The side view makes more sense, but still the speed going through that and the pop of air should be glorious.

[rcdude]

I can't wait for this ride to open. Usually I wait a couple weeks before going to try a new ride, but Twisted Colossus may be an exception. It keeps getting better and better, so perhaps I'll brave the opening day/weekend crowds and likely 4 hour waits for once.

[KingRCT3]

and the pop of air should be glorious.

I'm still waiting for the day RMC will make larges, ejector-filled airtime hills, like only Intamin makes yet.

But other than that, wow, this is looking crazy, the blue side is kind of a warm-up, and then the green side is like there's no tomorrow.

[rcjp]

^Me too. Short pops of strong air are always very fun but I'd also like to see them making a straight, simple and large ejector hill.

Okay yeah it was the angle.

I'm not sure it's just the angle. There is definitely a twist to it. I'm sure they know what they're doing, though.

[Mater]

lol

 

No one ever said there wasn't a twist.

[rcjp]

^Oh, sorry then. I didn't understand you were talking about the shaping of the twist and not the twist itself.

[SFMMGeek27]

Here's another photo from Great American Coasters on Instagram:

[Projektion]

It doesn't look as twisty from that angle.

[Gnome]

Can this thing open yet? Its so TWIIIIIISTYYYYYYYY!!!!!

[Nrthwnd]

Here's how I look at twisty...

Prefer it in a gin & tonic, but that's okay. (o;

did the "ourmountain" FB page get taken down?

No, it changed from a "friend" page to a fan page now.

Wait, RMC make floater air?

[KingRCT3]

The key-word was large actually. RMC does make ejector, but only pops. It's either a flat-to-down, up-to-flat, double-down, double-up, crest.... But never a full Intamin-esque airtime hill, like the first three on El Toro.
