christianscoasters Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) It doesn't have the gold colored letters over it yet (which I'm guessing it will have). You can see the bolt holes even. It's going to be amazing. Edited April 28, 2013 by smartestcoasterkidever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Wow, it looks great! Gonna be a great photo op especially with the lake in the background. This coaster will just scream photo ops all around its course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necoastergp Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The entry sign looks really nice with the lake in the background. ^^It should look really good with the gold lettering. I did think it looked a bit dark until I read your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Dump Truck backs into Blue Streak Subtitle of the week. Not really newsworthy, but mildly amusing nonetheless. Get well soon, coaster friend. Definitely looking forward to the finished GateKeeper sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJLehto Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I was thinking something more like this: Just RMC that bastard. I think Iron Horse is only reserved for woodies that really really need it. And MS is one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLCPfan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Would THAT many people STILL rather taer down Mean Streak than see what Rocky Mountain can do with it? As someone who never understood the total hatred for MS, I am really excited to see what iron horse transformation could do with this ride. I've never had extremely painful rides on MS, especially compared to the other 2 Curtis Summers-designed coasters I've been on - Timber Wolf and Wolverine Wildcat. It's just not a GREAT ride like people claim it was before the first drop trims were added. For those who complain about the rough ride on MS, you should try Timber Wolf on an average day. I swear the ride is trying to kill its riders. When TW was young it was my favorite wood coaster. It's sad how badly Dinn/Summers coasters age. On a more positive note, WOW!!!!!!!!!! Gate Keeper plaza is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Just RMC that bastard. Nice! From now on there will be one new verb: to RMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Would THAT many people STILL rather taer down Mean Streak than see what Rocky Mountain can do with it? Given the amount of space the ride takes up, tearing it down and building something new on it's spot could be a better use of the space. Though an iron horse treatment could be awesome as well. Either option would be nice. However, I don't really think either option is imminent. The ride is still in decent enough shape, so I don't think it's demise is a huge priority.

JJLehto Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Actually I used to like MS!!! It's too tame now. It was always kinda boring but at least it was exciting when it was rough. I don't want it torn down though. As I said: Just RMC that bastard. Nice! From now on there will be one new verb: to RMC! Thank you Yeah I can't wait for opening weekend. Gatekeeper looks legit good besides just being a wingrider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
