p. 776: Rapterra wing coaster announced for 2025!

Recommended Posts

While the original event on Thursday was supposed to start at 6:00am and continue to around noon, the event on Friday has been condensed and runs from 10:00am until 1:00pm. So those early morning news casts from Richmond and DC with the live shots of TT won't be happening on Friday!

A video of Twisted Timbers testing with 2 trains. I can see where it become sluggish towards the end, but I do believe it will pick up more speed over the next couple months when it gets warmer outside. It may not be the best RMC but it will easily be the 2nd best coaster in the park and a surprise for most guest since they will think it’s a typical wooden coaster.

can't wait to ride in august when i finally get back there. i don't mind if it slows towards the end. nearly all the other rmc's hit the brakes at high speed. so i'd be happy if one uses all it's energy.

As a simpleton, I am so happy that those three big hills in a row are all hills, as opposed to silly rolls, wave turns, or stalls.

Are people new to this whole "how roller coasters work" thing?

 

If you test a coaster with an empty train and no water dummies when it's (according to the National Weather service) approximately bullsh*t degrees fahrenheit and it most likely hasn't been cycling for very long, of course it's going to crawl into the brakes. The only coasters on earth that wouldn't would be the Intamin Rocket coasters with variable launch speeds and Batman the Ride because physics apparently don't matter on that ride.

Curious, how loud are the RMC lift hills?

 

I've been watching this thing test over my breaks this past weekend, and I even almost got to ride it Sunday. But that lift hill is LOUD. I haven't been on any other RMC to compare, so I figured I ask around here.

 

Loud! I noticed even the Wonder Woman lift hill was loud in the other thread.

I've been on Twisted Colossus and Storm Chaser and can confirm that both have loud lift hills.

I remember when Storm Chaser’s first POV came out and it barely made it to the end. Now the biggest complaint about that ride is how much their thighs hurt the next day because of how relentless it is till the end

Exactly my thoughts. It should be broken in by like May. People need to chill.

I don't even think it looks sluggish. The first drop looks great, the 3 airtime hills look incredible, the cutback looks awesome, and the second half looks really, really strong. And yeah, the trains were frickin empty in the vid! I'm excited to ride, and I think it'll only get better as the season progresses.
