ArizonaGuy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Dont take this as me not liking this ride, I hope to get the chance next year to get down and ride it... but, I wish they switched the zero G roll and the air time hill, I feel like a zero G roll into that tight tunnel would have been a lot more exciting than what is there now...Still a great ride though! You haven't even ridden it yet and you're already revising the ride and saying they should have done X vs Y etc???? *sigh* This coaster is going to be amazing and will put SFFT on the map. If you didn't cut out the first sentence of my post, you would realize that I was just commenting on it. Just making conversation. deep breath there buddy... Ok lets start again....added the first sentence back into your quote......new response: You haven't even ridden it yet and you're already revising the ride and saying they should have done X vs Y etc???? *sigh* Anyways.....so any confirmation of opening day for the GP yet???

SFOverTexasFan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Agreed. I don't think you can make judgements on the ride if you haven't rode it yet. This ride looks sick! I hope it's as fun to ride as it looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_RN Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Such a welcome sight seeing the first drop go back down to the bottom of the quarry like it used to with the falling rock shed protecting it! hehe! Cannot wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It's amazing how this monster has changed over the years. First two pics pulled from rcdb.com and the last was pulled from a post here TPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kailisun98 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 ^It really has changed over the years. I can't wait to ride it. Well it is changing now with 90 degree curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 That is FREAKING AWESOME! Looked kind of bumpy from the video though. That was from how they set up the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 That is FREAKING AWESOME! Looked kind of bumpy from the video though. That was from how they set up the camera. Are you sure it isn't hitting the bolts? But yeah, they just needed a sturdier camera mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 That is FREAKING AWESOME! Looked kind of bumpy from the video though. It's a video. It's not real life. Wait to ride it in person! Chances are it will be smooth like the other RMC coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boweryboy Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This looks terrifyingly awesome. Too bad I'll probably never make it out to Texas to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&MIntaminGCI Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It makes me mad that these parks don't allow visible tattoos and piercings for video shoots. Are people going to sit there and be like "Wow I can't ride this ride because someone with a tattoo rode it?" You won't even notice them in the final video, it's so small and fast. "Having tattoos and piercings is not unprofessional. What’s unprofessional is turning down an aspiring employee due to superficial reasons and not their skill level or experience." - is one of my favorite quotes I've read, just change/delete some words and it'll apply to this situation. /rant Other than that, the ride looks awesome and I wish I could get out there asap to ride it.

CpBluestreakCp Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 First thing that I notice when reading this is that they mis-spelled Rattler in the first column. The way they spelled it reminds me of when Six Flags CEO Jim Anderson says it!

Someone may have a heart on their arm, someone else might have HATEFUCK or whatever. Whoever is casting a b-roll shoot probably doesn't have the time or patience to make judgement calls on the acceptability people's tattoos and piercings especially for unpaid unskilled background talent, so it's easier to eliminate this situation by putting these type of notices in the casting call. I have tattoos myself and I've had to cast people for commercials and b-roll and say no to someone with obvious body mods..it's fairly standard knowledge that visible tattoos don't go over well if you're trying to be an extra. Extras are a dime a dozen anyway, someone will fill that train seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
