Will this be the shortest RMC? I'm sure they can work their glorious magic on this ride, but it sucks that they can only work with 80 feet.

Tbh Twisted Colossus seems very short to me. The only reason it seems longer is because of the joint tracks.

 

I meant like opposite of tall short.

I freaking love that.

 

argh... the pic didn't come through. I mean the pink and teal track with the white supports.

TC has a 128ft drop, not 80. The angle is 80 degrees. WC is shorter in height than TC.

Thanks for the correction!

Umm...what about Medusa Steel Coaster at Six Flags Mexico? I heard that is one of the best RMC creations and the height is only 98 feet. I wouldn't judge a ride already when it hasn't even been announced yet. Judge the ride after you actually ride it!

[RollerManic]

Ligthning Run is pretty short (height) too, ehh? And look how that one turned out...

 

Also, the Twisted Twins was pretty long for it's height as a traditional woodie. Depending on the wheels, the Iron Horse shouldhave to be too neutered (?)

[Manic Monte]

Does height or length hurt Lightning Run? No it doesnt.

Update: They just closed the park due to severe weather. Put I can't leave cuz I'm waiting for a ride.

 

Edit: I've now escaped

Plus it most likely would be longer than Lightning Run.

You beat .. oh wait haha. This was my exact point. Its more about the relative hill height and ultimately their shape and taken speed.

What if they made the drop steeper and had it go below ground?

I also think the name Twisted Twins is out because RMC has a different name so far for all their coasters and Twisted is already being used by SFMM. I know it's not really up to RMC...KK will name it whatever they want. But I hope for something else. Glad for KK, I'll definitely be there in 2016 to check out RMC's latest creation.

Twisted Twisted Twins AKA T3...oh wait. T3 II

Wicked Twisted Twins

Wicked Twins

Iron Twisted Twins

Twisted Iron

New Twisted Twins

Twisted Steel

[aaron88stang]

Twisted Metal...oh wait that has been done before. How about simply "Twisted"?

I really like Twisted. It's simple, and at the same time kind of intimidating. Gets my vote.

[lbeeler]

please no iron in the name I beg of thee....... lol

only if it was a Cedar Fair install

[Patrick B8men]

I sill cant help but think you guys are getting your hopes up. There is nothing so far to indicate that RMC's involvement is a complete overhaul of TS, it could be a refurbishment such as ThundeRun...I'm cautiously optimistic...

[KI Kidd]

^Agreed. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if this is a full iron horse conversion.

[grsupercity]

Only reason I am hoping for full iron horse is because ed hart loves KK, and has a great vision for the place

[lbeeler]

Went by the park again TT has been washed. Saw more crates. Possible cross ties?!?!?

This makes no sense. What makes Topper Track any worse, especially if it has a crazy layout like the other Rocky Mountain coasters?

There would not be any steel spotted on site if it was just being retracted like thunder run was

I think he meant he hopes it is a Texas Giant/Rattler type conversion as opposed to just a refurbishment like Georgia Cyclone has gotten from RMC.
