The username Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 They've been retracting GASM for awhile now. The old cyclone trains have been doing a number on the track though. Wish the 3 bench ptcs would come back. Now if rmc was doing a wooden retrack... I would be very interested to see how that turns out. OG was one of the first parks to introduce topper track, would be cool to become a test bed for rmc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been getting retracked in stages for the last few years. I doubt they'd do any major modification after all the money spent on that.

But. . . why wouldn't but more importantly, why shouldn't they reply and interact with each other? Behind these park and coaster accounts are people who have created bonds and friendships within the industry. Why do we feel that because X and Y communicated in a public forum that something is brewing or why is X commenting on Y's seemingly teasing something when it's not them supplying. This is why I giggle every time someone takes something the park or designer literal and get all excited for nothing lol lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 they SHOULD. tho they tend not to.. hence it's curious when two business-related entities communicate via business accounts. I mean, I don't blink an eye when Jeffrey Siebert tweets from his private account (which he does all the time) in a Kings Island post. but you bet it would pique my curiosity if the Six Flags Fiesta Texas account did that. in this case, I find it super interesting that RMC commented when the announcement was Skyline's single rail. But that's about it.. "super interesting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 ^RMC manufactured the track for the Skywarp at SFDK. It wouldn't surprise me if Skyline continued to outsource the manufacturing of the track to RMC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if Skyline continued to outsource the manufacturing of the track to RMC. Skyline does their own track now - it's weld-free, like Great Coaster's Titan Track (which Skyline designed and engineered). The kiddie coaster track will be the same as the track used on the art museum coaster, Brava! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'm not going to lie. When my husband told me our park was getting a single rail coaster I was so very excited! Thought it would be a Raptor. Needless to say, I was less than pleased when I found out it was a kiddie coaster. I'm sure it will be great for kids and mine will like it, but I was kind of hoping for something more substantial in that spot. Hopefully they get out of their recent aversion to seating and shade in the kids rides area. That part of the park is BRUTAL in the summer. Never noticed before, but now that I have a kid and go....it's unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpuddle Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 ^ I don’t hold out hope for this being good even for kids… Skyline has yet to make anything that isn’t a shaky, loud, hot mess. So good luck to the parks getting them. I hope they prove us wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneyislandchris Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 ^ Maybe I'm missing something here but in the pictures linked above, they look like they have just the normal ratcheting lap bars, not a buzz bar. Am I blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The username Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I wish we were getting the 3 bench buzz bar and not the old cyclone trains, but hopefully they beefed up the seat cushioning and made the trains lighter so they don't beat the track to a pulp so quick.
