CpBluestreakCp Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 ^I don't expect it to break down say as much as an Intamin would. But, I'm sure it will still have a few minor setbacks, mostly because of the touchy sensors on the coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hmm.... negative much? ^^Was that supposed to be a shot at me? LOL! Some of you people take my posts waaaay to seriously! I figured I was safe with the winkers (and the disclaimer that is at the bottom of the webpage), but I guess not. I was simply having fun with all of the comments and observations that have been mentioned about CP in the last few years - especially the one's where someone can always find something Debbie Downer-like to say about a parks new attraction or it's theming. It's all about having some laughs, so thanks to the one's that "got it". Sorry if I offended anyone! I should have posted this.... The funny or sad part is your predictions can likely come true! I was not offended and looking at it again I can appreciate your sense of humor. So actually I apologize for not doing that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJLehto Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah, B&M are famous for their reliability. Anything can happen but I don't expect a breakdown. I also am stoked for CP this May, esp now that my Aug trip fell through, gotta maximize this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This all has me wondering what thier next coaster is going to be lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This all has me wondering what thier next coaster is going to be lol! RMC refurbishment on Mean Streak. Would that be considered new? I think it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWAddington Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 ^ I'm all for that! Mean Streak is secluded on the other side of the train tracks, so they could be working on it during the season. I dont think many people would miss it, if they see whats going on! Add some height to the lift hill, make it the "est" of all the categories of every hybrid out there! It would be interesting to watch the transformation as the season went on, then seeing the finished product on the next seasons opening day. I hope Cedar Point is keeping an eye on the six flags projects with RMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necoastergp Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 ^ It'll be interesting to see which non-six flags park goes with RMC woody conversion first if one does at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 ^ I'm going to say that Darien Lake's Predator would be the first coaster in a non-Six Flags park to get the Rocky Mountain steel/wood conversion as "The Predator Unleashed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 ^I know, I've thought the same thing. There is no reason why they dont. They could make Mean Streak an awesome ride with a makeover. I really hope they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it as Rocky Mountain has already had their hands on it for a while now, as far as re-tracking and maintenance goes. Also, just not a big enough park to foot the investment. Liking the new sign for Power Tower. I wonder where they are going to put all the safety info that is just chillin on that bench there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Nice Sign! But whats going on with Gatekeeper?! no webcams is making me antsy....... Probably because they don't want us to see what's going on inside the launch / show building they're building now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachclarke2 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 ^Don't you remember the animation? The train is going to launch and go through the entire course backwards when it gets to the breakrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyinpeace Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I really am not convinced it's gonna launch backwards through the whole course back to the lift hill. The train will have to go exceedingly fast to make it back to the chain and I fear that it will produce overwhelming forces to the train and it's passengers at the beginning, also B&M also are known to avoid launches. I believe that part of the animation was purely for hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
