B&MIntaminGCI Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I just realized the POV and test track of at the RMC plant was an excerpt of this full ride. Is the same part highlighted in blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Remember 6 Flags business philosophy. Install anything at a lower cost that they can hype up in advertising, while not considering guest experience. VR and double rides on American Eagle are some examples. Both crippled capacity and made bad overall experiences because of the wait times. Most of their recent installations seem to be cheaper, low capacity rides like the free spin coasters. Goliath in Chicago is an excellent example of a "hyped-up" coaster being built on the cheap side (short ride with only 2 trains) with horrible capacity in a huge metro market. 8 passenger trains, 6 Flags mediocre operations and slower lines due to Flash Pass sounds like a miserable couple of hours waiting in the Texas heat..... I personally quit going to 6 Flags parks a couple years ago because of their philosophy. It carries over into the general condition of the parks, the lack of landscaping/weeds growing, run down buildings, lack of live entertainment etc. But they can hype this coaster up and advertise it as a "first" It's gotta be rough being so miserable.

mark549 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 So finally people will shut up about Knott's or CGA getting one next year now...then again...who are we kidding. Looks intereting. First park with 2 RMCs too. I hope to visit one day. Two and a half RMCs, their free spin (bat man) has RMC track. And didn't Alan Schilke help design their mine train ride (for Arrow)?

PixelRush Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Looks very promising, I'm excited to see this thing in real life! This will also be a great new beginning for RMC, breaking away from their typical practice. I like the theme choice, though I wish the color was a little more like Wonder Woman (I understand the idea of the lasso anyway). I would expect red, blue and silver but it's not that way because Superman is right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The supports on that lift hill look like something I'd make in No Limits. At first I thought it looked a lot bigger than it is, but it must be because the Raptor track is small. And I'm wondering if this will be the new Batman: The Ride.

RideWoodenCoasters Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 ^^^^No worries here. Poltergeist VR...a name screaming for a headset...coming to horrify enthusiasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 They should name it "The Capacity Monster" Joking and eye rolling aside (Six Flags almost bags for it continuously), this really does look to be a fun and interesting new ride. It's going to be freaky and awesome to have so little around you up there alone in that seat. I hope the seats are more comfortable than their regular trains.

jray21 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 This looks like it'll be a great addition! Can't wait to see how it rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVicesAndVirtues Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Wow this looks like such an incredible experience. RMC's innovation combined with their rockstar popularity the past few years is really breathing fresh air into the typical B&M cookie-cutter additions of old. For those worried about capacity, maybe they should build one at Europa Park in Germany first and then have the Six Flags ride ops train over there. They'd still somehow manage to move a full queue in 60 minutes max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right! I'm counting down the days until SDC's announcement. Although it sucks because they announce it on the day I go back to school. Have you seen recent pictures of it? It looks like it will have a vertical drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 For as much of a "down year" for new additions 2017 was, 2018 looks like it's going to be amazing. Wonder Woman, whatever is coming to Knotts and California's Great America, new RMC Mean Streak, new RMC Hurler, whatever Silver Dollar City is up to, new (maybe RMC) Georgia Cyclone, Slinky Dog Dash coaster at Hollywood Studios, Electric Eel at SeaWorld San Diego, new rapids ride for SWO, Fast n Furious at Universal Orlando (if you're into that kind of thing), something that might be atleast 315 feet tall for BGW, a Skywarp has been confirmed for somewhere, and I'm sure there will be a few more surprises.

bert425 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Colors are kind of wierd but i am happy that fiesta texas is getting a new coaster! um. . ."weird" in what way? it's named after Wonder Woman's lasso (because the yellow track looks like her lasso). . and the supports / train appear to be painted to match her colors - the same colors as Superman (always have been): Red, Blue, and Yellow (tho Wondy has some white in her boots, and stars on shorts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it sits right by Superman, which has red track, Poltergeist has yellow track, Scream has both red and yellow on it, Goliath has yellow supports. I think it will end up looking good on the skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Not a fan of the track color either, but it might be because I hate yellow. The trains are sexy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Glad I just read that, "To help increase capacity on the coaster the park has announced that it will feature a moving loading station platform". This may be like a Mr. Freeze type loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
