MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 ^The details from their Facebook announcement seem to strongly imply RMC's involvement, but the company itself wasn't directly mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018  Great HYBRID COASTER Coming in 2019 spring  Haha, ok cool, if you say so.   That makes it official! Turning White Cyclone to an RMC would definitely get me to go back to Nagashima Spa Land. White Cyclone looked great being that massive and had a lengthy ride time, but it was underwhelming when I rode it in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMC_Hoodie Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Let's just hope they don't call it "Sperm Whale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hmm... how to combine the old name white cyclone with the whale... Â Got it - White Whalenado!!! Â Wait...something's off - ah, figured it out: Twisted Wicked White Whalenado. That's my prediction for the name. Twisted Wicked White Whalenado! Â Still a more reasonable name than Super Speed Cool cool bear XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Whatever they call it, even when it's translated into English, it still wont make sense in English.

A.J. Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Sheesh, they're really taking a machete to that thing, aren't they? Â Obviously a Rocky Mountain renovation is always worth it, but I'm going to miss that "one of the most photogenic coaster elements in the world" spiral there near the lift.

JG-77 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I’m still processing the fact that we’re getting two huge coasters RMC’d back to back!  I do agree with A.J. that the photogenic-ness of those helices will be missed, but if Alan Shilke gets this right (and I am confident that he will), we could be looking at competition for Steel Vengeance!

I think it's certainly possible, however I wouldn't be surprised if Cedar Fair has a contract with RMC that says that some of SV's record aren't allowed to be broken for a certain amount of time. We'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerManic Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have absolutely no idea what to expect from this thing. The idea this ride is being RMCed is bewildering still. I would have never seen Japan as getting an RMC anytime soon, and thisride’s structure is just so drawn out that it’s hard to imagine whatwill become of it.  I didnt know they were already working on it. I suppose this time there aren't any infamous RMC trucks rolling around, only RMC workers and rented equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetstar2 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm guessing it'll be called hakugei and it won't break records or be as twisted as some other RMC's, but it will be a massive improvement on the worst roller coaster I ever rode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Having Steel Dragon 2000 in the park is enough to draw people in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 ...and an Ultratwister, too. Over there, beyond Steel Dragon 2000. (o: TPR 2013 Japan Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 And a 1st generation freefall for the hardcore Intamin lover. I never seem to fit this park in my itinerary but it's definitely got to be fone on my next Japan visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG-77 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Glad to see this project is progressing! Looks like they took quite a bite out of that helix. I wonder if they're removing it from the layout, if it'll just be low-to-the-ground, or if the wood needed replacing for whatever reason. Can't wait for RMC track to show up!

Canobie Coaster Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I'm really intrigued to see how they handle the first drop. With the 90 degree turn, I could see them going for a massive barrel roll drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 ^ Maybe it will end up like Outlaw Run? Small turning pre-drop, then BIG amazing glorious ejector-time filled greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I would be completely fine with either of those options! Â There is a lot RMC can do with this layout. I can totally see them pulling some Iron Rattler shenanigans on those wide helices. Also glad to see RMC start taking an international presence.
