Woodie Warrior Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Medusa looks incredible! Don't think I'll make it down to Mexico City anytime soon, but hopefully someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've heard good things about Medusa Steel Coaster, but this is the first time I've seen a review by someone familiar with all of Rocky Mountain's creations. I would never have expected to find a travel-worthy coaster in Mexico, let alone a top five steel coaster. If TPR does another trip down there and I don't have something preventing me from going I'm definitely in, as Mexico has just been added to my bucket list of international theme park destinations.

GwaziBSRider1 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I enjoyed Medusa before, but damn this ride looks incredible! Definitely got to get back down there one of these days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wow! These photos look amazing! How would you personally rank existing RMC coasters, Robb? I'm honestly not sure I could rank them, but if i had to it would look something like this:  1. Texas Giant, Outlaw Run, Medusa 2. Iron Rattler 3. Goliath  I seriously cannot separate the top 3.

_koppen Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I remember not being overly impressed with the POVs that came out when the ride opened, but I found a fresh POV and holy crap does the pacing look awesome now!

805Andrew Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Medusa looks awesome. Six Flags Mexico has been officially been put on my radar because of this ride. The pyramids and the city looks awesome too. Three reasons for me to visit México D.F so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Can you guys check on the status of Zombie Ride at Bosque Magico (maybe even get a construction tour). It be nice to see pics of that ride and where it is with construction and/or how the dual station is looking/progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Wanted to ride as little as possible get out of that park as quickly as possible. The condor had a 45 minute line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPK Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Medusa just looks insane! And from reading your enthusiasm throughout your review it must be incredible! Â really sceptic about the lapbars though. Had a very unpleasant ride on skyscream in Holidaypark due to that extra pillow pressing on my legs. (being 1,90m (6,4") and skinny) How is that with Medusa, Outlawrun, and Iron rattler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have to figure out how to get on an RMC this year....has to happen, bottom line. Â SFNE might be my best bet unless I can get a trip for work to Mexico and organize a side trip to this park. Medusa certainly looks amazing!

Turtle Wax Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm not sure how long you guys spent at La Feria, but when I was there back in December I was very bummed at first because the only coasters operating were the wild mouse and Montana Rusa. However about an hour later the shuttle loop opened up. They began to test Montana Triple Loop and we wandered over there, but the guy told us it wasn't open. We then got out of him that it would be opening at Noon and sure enough it did! Â I guess I just got lucky! Â Also glad to see you finally got on Medusa! It's the only reason I even considered going down there last year! It seriously kicks some a$$! Out of all the RMC I rank it 3rd behind Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler. Followed by Texas Giant and Goliath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Medusa just looks insane! And from reading your enthusiasm throughout your review it must be incredible! really sceptic about the lapbars though. Had a very unpleasant ride on skyscream in Holidaypark due to that extra pillow pressing on my legs. (being 1,90m (6,4") and skinny) How is that with Medusa, Outlawrun, and Iron rattler?  I did not notice the leg beam on Medusa at all. Neither did my friend, he's 6'0. It is a little snug, but it did not affect the ride...at all. I also found them to be more padded than the ones on Full Throttle at SFMM, which I DO notice when I ride.   See...they are padded and snug, but not uncomfortable. Just remember, it's either that or an obnoxious OTSR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
