RMC_Hoodie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I am against the Iron Cyclone thoroughly. I mean the scraping noises at 1:10 giga. Same here. They should have fixed Cyclone and replaced Mind Eraser with an RMC coaster. Selling that piece of crap for scrap metal would have gotten them about $200,000 dollars to put toward the new ride.

Scrap metal isn't the only fate for an old, unpopular SLC. I'm sure there are parks that want parts for SLCs and maybe even cheap SLCs. There must be a market for parts - those rides are more cloned than Dolly the sheep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of the spare parts idea, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Hold on a second, couldn't six flags sell it off to a start up park. Even then they could theme it and add new trains which would vastly improve the ride and ridership...

timetrial3141592 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Heading out to park tomorrow. Anyone know how the crowds are recently. Or anything to look out for or photograph about cyclone? Not sure about crowds, but Bizarro has a staff of six working it (ride-op, four restraint checkers, Flash Pass operator) and dispatches fly. They can get one train out the door before the second hits the final tunnel. EDIT: Look what I found. https://twitter.com/SF_newengland/status/497435329012707328/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have always seen the Bizarro staff working rather efficiently. That's very good to hear. In past seasons, I've found dispatches to be on the slow side due to the number of people that have to take the walk of shame. Also, does anyone have a bad feeling that Six Flags may try and run Mind Eraser backwards? The coaster's popularity has been waning and it seems like something they would do. My head shudders at the idea so I pray that I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic Name Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Also, does anyone have a bad feeling that Six Flags may try and run Mind Eraser backwards? The coaster's popularity has been waning and it seems like something they would do. My head shudders at the idea so I pray that I am wrong. That's probably the worst idea I've ever heard in my life. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if they do that. The coaster would live even more up to its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetrial3141592 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Actually, given the fact that the zero car for Vekoma is in back, I wonder if it might actually be smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 But if we know Six Flags, they will somehow likely make the ride worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 What do you guys think? Iron Cyclone or New England Cyclone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I would tend towards th New England Cyclone because that name has a certain vibe that gives you the feeling that it's still a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I would tend towards th New England Cyclone because that name has a certain vibe that gives you the feeling that it's still a classic. Agreed, I hope the park goes with that name. But, who knows the new name will even include cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm not hugely fond of either honestly. I say no to the new england cyclone because they already got the new england skyscreamer. Iron Cyclone has just been the nickname that we've been giving the conversion, but I hope they choose a different name. I dunno what they would pick, but if it does end up being one of those 2 names, I won't be upset, I just think they probably could choose better.

camthedominator Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It could very well be Psyclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I like the name Iron Cyclone (and Iron Colossus if they go that route). I do like the idea of RMC using non-red/orange track. A white wood structure with blue steel tracks would look really nice imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
