VF15 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think that they should RMC one side of American Eagle. I know that this idea has been thrown out there before, but I think it would be a good move. One side with RMC awesomeness, and the other with the traditional AE experience. Although, I wouldn't mind it if the RMC'd both sides and made it like Twisted Colossus where you basically get two rides. Plus, having two RMCs in one park would really make Six Flags Great America a coaster enthusiast heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckInSD Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Ghostrider getting topper track would be a godsend. It has a good layout already, and they could do something really cool with the boring turnaround over the lift. That, and given Magic Mountain's upcoming RMC, it'll give Knott's even more reason to give Ghostrider the RMC treatment. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it could get the I-Box treatment as well if Knott's really wants to go all-out. Can't really think of a better name than Ghostrider, though.

thrillseeker4552 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I wouldn't exactly call this an RMC makeover, but I hope GhostRider gets a serious, quality re-tracking done, like Thunder Run. Making the ride more tolerable for the average guest could potentially put the ride as the best in the park. I know Knott's is doing some standard re-tracking, but the ride experience has pretty much been the same for the last couple years. IT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT! The layout is FANTASTIC although it beats the living crap out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projektion Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I've always said it, but I want Magnus Colossus at Terra Mitica to get the Iron horse treatment.

Not having to come to a complete stop on the MCBR would make the ride so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 ^Yes, it would be totally awesome, but it would beat the crap out of you even more! They should keep it slow until they get some serious fixing done in that section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think it has something to do with the cars shuffling through the track less and therefore you don't notice all the imperfections in the wood track.

DoinItForTheFame Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 My vote goes to Mean Screech. After seeing what RMC did with NTG, I would LOVE to see them get their hands on Mean Screech. It would be such an amazing transformation. *Fingers crossed that it will happen some day.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPDave Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Tonnerre de Zeus. Â By all accounts this used to be an absolutely stunning ride but it screeches round the track now and is no fun after the first hill. So the base material is there, it just needs bringing out so they'd probably get a kick asks ride out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 ^I agree with this. When I rode it the first time in 2005, it was a Top Ten coaster. When I last rode it in 2012, it was still fun, but no where near as good as it once was. Some RMC work would do wonders for this ride.

pkgdel5 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It is still fun, but it has those moments that scream "Ibuprofen"! Maybe cause I'm getting older...lol But I REALLY want to see the Iron Horse treatment (or at least some topper tracks) put on! I've heard strong rumors of this happening but I've also heard the rumors are "dying" off. Just wondering what everyone else is hearing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
