canadianparkfan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 ^^^ Amazing video regardless! This looks like one of the best rides in existence. Can CW please tear down their SLC and Volar to make room for a clone of this beast?... It's one clone I'd be VERY happy to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrachenFire2 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 ^ If you're talking about the one you posted, it's not exactly the same one you've posted seeing there is different angles and other parts of the ride shown on this video, plus this one is longer. If that's not the case then I don't exactly know what you're talking about. I checked before I posted and this exact video hasn't been posted on here before. Yikes, you're right. I stand corrected. My apologies bud. Either way, a shame there aren't more videos of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Another great video of Medusa Steel Coaster Currently "this video is private" That has got to be one of the best coaster-videos ever produced. It is just a thing of beauty in 1080p on my bigscreen. I really hope I get to ride this coaster one day. Perhaps one should save up to make a RMC-tour.

nolimits Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've been on it 3 times. Does the first inversion ruin the drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ^I haven't been on the new version, but the first drop was never anything to write home about in the first place so I can't imagine that there was a whole lot to 'ruin.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmx Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The video is private now It doesn't matter, the second video is so better and still public. Does the first inversion ruin the drop? Au contraire, mon ami. I would say it totally improved the drrop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oops! I totally forgot about this ride! Just checked out a POV, and Medusa looks amazing! That roll into the drop is beautiful and it seems to have great speed and pace! Hauling ass right into the final breaks. It also is a good length, which is one thing the other RMCs (minus NTG) lack. I have no idea how many people get to SF: Mexico but hopefully enough for it to rank on Mitch Hawker, curious to see where it'd fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 ^Iron Rattler and Goliath are also actually longer than Medusa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 ^Iron Rattler and Goliath are also actually longer than Medusa. Damn, it certainly seemed longer, guess the others move too fast! Not that I'll get to Mexico any time soon so POV is all I have : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 ^Iron Rattler and Goliath are also actually longer than Medusa. Goliath also goes a hell of a lot faster too.... so..... 30 second ride vs more complete ride experience. I've been on the 30 second balls to the wall ride before, and they are plenty of fun at first, but the adrenaline quickly fades as you get used to it and know what to expect. I'll take the smaller Medusa. The expereince will remain consistent as long as its maintained. Also, One thing I find humorous is the general GPness of TPR's youtube page. It really is a whole different world. I read one comment that said "They ripped off Goliath!" SMDH NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah just wanted to comment how this looks like a sick ride, and was surprised how long it is (even if that's because it doesn't move as fast as some others). RMC is going to dominate the top 10 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the smaller Medusa. The expereince will remain consistent as long as its maintained. I've yet to ride one of the RMCs, but I have to agree—the layout of this looks extremely impressive. The RMC designs , thus far, have struck me as either very cool and forward-thinking or just an exercise in weird elements and the extreme. Although I wouldn't kick it out of bed, Goliath has almost zero appeal to me due to the design, but this looks like the best thing they've done yet. But even if some of their rides don't hold much personal appeal, this is clearly a company that's innovating on a number of levels, and it's fascinating to watch the ideas they crank out. I personally would love to see them focus on more immersive layouts such as this and would even welcome some designs that featured far more modest proportions. Structural interplay seems to be their thing, and that's most evident in designs like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean relative to the original.. I'm a classicdrop fanboy and this one looks like it loses most of its momentum/airtime because of the first inversion. I haven't ridden it though so I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 ^I get what you mean. But we don't really know what they would have made with the drop. Naturally we assume it would have some great air because of the speed already carried by the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Is it just me or the way that Medusa's logo pops out at the end of this video frozen me for a couple of minutes? [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what was said when someone found all the announcements for every Six Flags parks. It seems like it's all but confirmed that SFM will be receiving one.

RCF Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I wonder why on SFM is the only park receiving one this season? I know of two other parks who could really use Skyscreamers as well. (SFMM and SFA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
