DoinItForTheFame Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Have these been posted here already? From the parks website. That is just... amazing!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I've never been to this SF park yet either, one of the few I've missed, and I'm bound and determined to rectify that this year! Do we have any reasonable idea yet of when this will be open? Memorial Day weekend? Might have to pop up there that following week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterAuditor Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 ^I do really enjoy that picture. It can be in front of me at all times if it wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephcissell Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Man, Twisted Cyclone just looks better and better. That overbank really looks nuts in the best way. Hurry up May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayb78910 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Man, Twisted Cyclone just looks better and better. That overbank really looks nuts in the best way. Hurry up May! I agree! Looks like it's going to have some true head hopping moments too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpuddle Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Are the other wave turns this wonky or am I just seeing one from this particular angle for the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakizle Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Are the other wave turns this wonky or am I just seeing one from this particular angle for the first time? Since they are 0/negative G elements, they always "bend backwards". Pretty much all of them look the same from this angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Do you get sideways airtime on that curve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I've always thought that "sideways airtime" was the point of the wave turn. My big questions about it are how strong the air would be and how strong the lateral forces would be. I found the laterals on the off-camber turns of Wicked Cyclone to be stronger than I prefer.

defrocker Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 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.

thrillseeker4552 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 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? I love RMC so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgoZ Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What headchopper? But actually, yes, now I am thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameShibe Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury has sideways airtime on the turnaround?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Great pictures! That hill after the second turn looks like it's going to produce some serious airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
