ArizonaGuy Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'll say my vote goes for The Boss at SFStL. It's already a great layout but just needs topper track and some new trains and it can be more tolerable.
BintamiM Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I think Gwazi should get it. But I want something similar to Outlaw run, But anything from Rocky Mountain would be an improvement.
Randomman295 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I would really like it on Ghostrider. That thing has the potential to be an amazing ride but falls flat because of the insane bumps that ruin the ride for me.
mark549 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Also posted to the Mitch Hawker wood coaster poll thread: Â Â Cedar Point's Mean Streak would be a prime candidate for a Rocky Mountain iron track. Iron Streak could be called "i Streak."
Jew Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I think this has already been said, but it's still totally true: ALL OF THEM. Â Seriously, Rocky Mountain Coasters just revolutionized the industry with how awesome their rides have turned out thus far. Every single park with an aging wooden coaster NEEDS the RMC treatment.
Aceattack52 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Wildcat at Hershey was really rough when I rode it, but it seemed like it could have some pretty good potential if it had the RMC Treatment.

The layout is lackluster at best, not sure CF would put the cash into doing this to Mean Streak.

If Mean Streak got the RMC I-Box treatment, it would become on of the best steel coasters in the world.
Hilltopper39 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 The Beast. After seeing how crazy Outlaw Run is I can only imagine what the Beast would be like if they just started completely from scratch on everything between the two lifts, then re-worked the finale. Maybe add a barrel roll off of the second lift leading into the double helix or something. I've always thought it would be cool to add 800 or so feet of track to the layout and make that thing the longest coaster in the world again, wood or steel. Â (I know the purists out there hate this idea, but whatever it would be awesome)
JJLehto Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 You mean the I Box treatment? The obvious one is Mean Streak. It actually wasn't very rough now after the reprofiling but that took away ANY thrill...it's just a boring, uninspired ride in itself. I'd say the RMC treatment would only make it a bit better but NTG begs to differ I guess. Â Â Honestly, I like a shaky even rough ride. I do kinda fear eventually the traditional woodie will be dead, and those that remain will get the I Box. A few could certainly use the track topper though: Hurler, and from what I hear: Gwazi, Ghost Rider, Boss
Zcev5454 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'd have to say either one of these: Mean Streak The Boss Gwazi
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 My biggest concern would be parks turning an otherwise amazing layout (Ghostrider or even Roar comes to mind) and instead of just doing the topper track they do the complete makeover like NTAG or IRAT. Â There is nothing wrong with the layouts of most of these coasters and I'd hate to lose the "traditional wooden coaster" in order to make them all more like steel coasters.
gisco Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 ^ I'm with you on changing the layout on some of the coasters. I like the layout of Ghostrider just wish it wasn't so rough.
MFJorts Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Topper track for Ghostrider and a full-on makeover for Colossus at SFMM.
JWAddington Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Mean Streak definately! It could easily be the tallest, fasteset, steepest, any other 'est out there, Hybrid. But i really dont see them doing this! Â I'd also like to see Topper Track on Shivering Timbers! Not going to happen, but that could really bump this coaster back up in the higher rankings.
Coaster Curt Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 If they just retracked Mean Streak it is still a boring ride, now if they changed some things on it, what would they change to make it a great ride?
JWAddington Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 It honestly needs to be gutted. Probably the most of any that have already been done! Some of the lift hill may be all thats left from the original layout . I agree, the layout is boring!

I love Ghostriders layout as is and think the topper track would be the better option in it's makeover.
cfc Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 ^I'm for whichever technique will make the ride enjoyable, as opposed to painful.
GigaG Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 It honestly needs to be gutted. Probably the most of any that have already been done! Some of the lift hill may be all thats left from the original layout . I agree, the layout is boring! Â On MS? I don't think it would deviate a ton - the layout is similar to NTAG, just less intense, and RMC could fix that without deviating a lot. iRat would probably be more different - they ripped out the helix and end portion.
Dinnwitted Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 The Cyclone at SFNE. The ride has so much potential with the sudden first drop and ensuing twists. They could hypothetically insert a barrel roll into the second hill.
Aceattack52 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I have a question about this picture-Could it look any better!?! Seriously, though, this RMC stuff truly is amazing.
Manic Monte Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Colossus. May it once again actually live up to it's name!
PeoplemoverMatt Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 It'd be interesting to see how RMC adapts/modifies their design to accommodate CA earthquake codes. There'd probably be some unique supports in that design.
