A.J. Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 In my opinion, we need Iron Eagle! They should i-box at least one side. I'm genuinely curious as to why all of you who want Rocky Mountain to refurbish racing coasters only want them to do one side. What's the point?!?
Hoppy Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 ^ Exactly...I'm not sure why only 1 side when both would make more sense...is there one side that is smooth as butter not requiring an RMC 'makeover'? I haven't been on that racer for a long time, so perhaps I missed a few reviews that said otherwise.
willthegolfer Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I honestly don't care if it's one or two sides. I think that visually, doing both would be a much better idea, because then you don't have a 50 degree drop on one side and an 80 degree drop on the other. I think the reason most people want one side is so they still have American eagle, but also iron eagle, so you'd have 2 different rides.
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Topper Track one side and Iron Horse one side. Connect them together, then two different experience can combine in one track.
DanTheBooker Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 In my opinion, we need Iron Eagle! They should i-box at least one side. Wouldn't that make it a non racer though?
willthegolfer Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 ^I think the best (and most expensive) option would be to I-box both sides, and have racing or dueling Iron Eagles. Dueling the 2 sides would allow more creative layouts, however, which is what RMC specializes in.

BigBomer Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 ^Why? I think it would be pretty cool. Not saying I want that particular coaster re-furbished though...

I'm genuinely curious as to why all of you who want Rocky Mountain to refurbish racing coasters only want them to do one side. What's the point?!? Â I know right! I personally think that would look hideous, and one of the sides would be much less intense than the other.
AusCoasterFan Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 GHOST RIDER!!! Â Oh for sure! I loved the layout, but the roughness turned what is potentially an awesome ride to something close to being punched in the ribs... repeatedly!
brneff99 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I'm fairly certain that I might really have died on The Boss last Summer and this Post is just a dream...it was in dire need of something...but living in SoCal, I have to agree with Robb, please fix GhostRider...
coasterbill Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Roar at SFA Â This ride needs to be burned to the ground.
simon8899 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Vuoristorata - IMO one of the most boring wooden coasters, mostly due to the brakemen who took it VERY conservative compared to those running Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens, would like if KumBak would make to do-over like on Bakken's Rutschebanen which runs a good pace. Â Gwazi - or better replace it with a nice steel coaster...
rcjp Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Wildcat. I could say mean streak but even if it were smooth I'm not sure if it would be that exiting. Wildcat, on the other hand, has a really cool layout with a great pacing and lots of twistyness to it. I felt like it would be awesome if it were smooth.
mike541x Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Roar at SFA Â This ride needs to be burned to the ground. Â Â Roar isn't the best, but not the worst wooden coaster I've been on. Gwazi takes the cake on that one. I would've mention it in my earlier reply but I have no hope in that ride being around any longer considering one side has been SBNO for a while now.
simaticable Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 When I rode Gwazi back in April, it wasn't that bad. Considering that I did ride in the very front by myself and had never ridden a real decent coaster, I can't really complain. Now, I really don't want to imagine how the ride was before the PTC's were removed.

Considering that I did ride in the very front by myself and had never ridden a real decent coaster, I can't really complain. Now, I really don't want to imagine how the ride was before the PTC's were removed. I rode it in 2008 when I was 10 and it had the PTC's. The front was okay, but really rough during the turns. The back WAS GOD AWFUL PIECE OF ****ING **** HOLY ****!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL **** WAS THAT?! Â It wasn't fun
mike541x Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 ^ Doesn't sound any different than the back of the Millennium Flyers. It was terrible, and at the same time boring because the ride felt like the train was dragging itself through out the whole thing.
simaticable Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I guess I should consider myself lucky that I used the same defensive style I use for Georgia Cyclone when I rode Gwazi and the fact that the front row was the shortest wait. Â Ironically, Gwazi was the longest line when I went. Strange.
gisco Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Ghost Rider. I'm a little bummed I never got to ride it when it was new.
cfc Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 ^Same for me. I never got to experience that coaster when it was in its prime.
Angle O. Descent Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Mine Buster (CW) could really use a Rocky Mountain overhaul... plus a barrel roll over the water slides would be a sweet touch
