Do you get sideways airtime on that curve?

 

Yes. The first time I felt it to perfection was on Lightning Rod. This looks like an even better curve.

I hope Alan Schilke donates his brain to science when the time comes.

I know all of the attention is on that sexy wave turn, but has anybody thought about that crazy head chopper going down the drop?

What headchopper?

 

But actually, yes, now I am thinking about it.

Honestly, i cannot wait to ride Twisted Cyclone, it seems like a nice ride especially coming from a guy who has ridden the original Georgia Cyclone Twice.

 

I can still vaguely remember the empty lines for when it was originally open, so i might be slightly disappointing that the lines are going to be longer.

 

But hey!

That's the ride of Passage for my closest Six Flags getting a RMC Coaster.

These wave turns aren't really anything like Wicked Cyclones outer-banked turns. These are more akin to Fury's turnaround in that it's a bizarre sideways float but they're comfortable. I wouldn't worry about the laterals.

Awesome to hear this will have sideways airtime, but...

 

 

Fury has sideways airtime on the turnaround?!

[bejackso]

does anyone know when twisted cyclone is going to open? any media day or opening day festivities taking place? (particularly for ACE members)

At the park today, but stopped by last night to get a look at the new coaster.

[boldikus]

Looking good! Thanks for sharing!

Cool!

Fury does have sideways

Stop it. You guys are going to get me to take a Charlotte-Atlanta trip if you're not careful.

Great pictures! That hill after the second turn looks like it's going to produce some serious airtime!

[thrillrider]

Looking good from inside the park as well. Look at that sideways turn!

My gosh that's pretty

[RollerManic]

Those pictures of the turn and double down make the whole ride look so miniature - and really, at only 100ft, it is - but we all know this thing is going to kick ass the whole way through.

[DoinItForTheFame]

^ ^ ^ That picture looks AWESOME!! I'm loving all the colors!!

That is one change from the original animation and I like it a lot. The drop after the second turn-around was easily the best moment on the Georgia Cyclone because of the airtime you would hit there, seems to me RMC took the best moment on the Georgia Cyclone and made it better.

Absolutely agree... looks very intentional to preserve that moment from the past. Even if they don’t think and design that way, let’s just pretend that they do, cuz it’s more fun to appreciate it than refute it.

 

Excitement building for sure. This ride, though short and short, looks to pack a real punch. Can’t wait!!

[thrillrider]

It looks like the preserved most of the original structure. This coaster looks crazy! Probably one of the most "twisted" compact layouts I have seen.

[Sportsdude360]

It looks like a mini version of New Texas Giant. It'll be a fantastic ride!

[SFOGchick]

More #TwistedCyclone pics from yesterday’s crowded SFOG visit. Also some pics from the overgrown Thomas Town/Deja Vu area. I wonder if this back area of LickSkillet will be the next area for something interesting? Hmmmm.

I just went back and looked at the original animation. Definitely looks like a change for the better!

Happy 12th Birthday Goliath!!!

4/1/2006 - I'll never forget the day it opened because I was an employee at the time and the park was extra busy that day (for good reason). At the end of the night, the Supervisors allowed the Rides team-members to go back in the park to ride Big G. My very first ride was in the back, and then I turned around and rode in the front. IMO - The back row is definitely the best row, and riding at night is an experience unlike any other!

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

I just wanted to post it here. THIS IS HAPPENING. THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH GARFIELD.

 

I’m pretty sure that’s just for the Six Flags coming in China
