SixFlagsAstroworld Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I wonder when SC will open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Park opens April 30th, so they still have two months and two weeks from now. None of the other RMC's are done being built yet either (Joker getting a much later start), so they still have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If you look at the photos. they pretty much have almost all the bents in place ready to go minus a few spots. They've also installed the anti-rollback on lift as well as the lift motor. It's not like "nothing" has been going on. From the looks of it, they're still waiting on the rest of the track to show up.

chickenbowl Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 That hill is going to be amazing!! I have a feeling it's going to provide some crazy, sideways, directional changing, airtime!! If it's anything like the hill on Outlaw Run that is shaped the same (first hill after the stall), then you're right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron88stang Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Is there any other coaster under construction with so much visible from outside the park? It's been great to follow on here and drive by when I am in Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 This coaster is going to be vicious. I remember that Alan Schilke said once that he likes working with the more compact layouts better, and it really shows. The out-and-back designs of RMC are still more amazing than most coasters, but the compact ones are almost like a step up (and not a step up under flip ). It's like the smaller coasters can fit more intensity and "in your face" elements in their layouts. There's no meandering segments or meandering curves. This coaster may be a dark horse for best new coaster of the year. It will be hard to beat out Lightning Rod though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
