boardwalkbullet91507 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If the trains are themed like NTAG and IRAT, I think it would be cool to see a Stone Medusa head or something on the front (should the Medusa theme continue). This will be an interesting project; can't wait to see the layout! Link to post Share on other sites
Jew 72 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Viva La Mexico!...Trip that is. Glad to see that the RMC-Six Flags partnership continues...lots of material (read: bad woodies) to work with! Link to post Share on other sites
carolinacaniac 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The funny thing is that Medusa wasn't 'terrible' in comparison to some others. Not that it was going to be in my top 10 or anything, but I think it could have been a good ride with some minor tweaking. I won't complain though if it turns out to be anything like New Texas Giant or Iron Rattler based on what others have said about them. Link to post Share on other sites
robbalvey 98 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaeeAr-nwX4 It’s official. Coming in 2014, Six Flags Mexico will introduce a brand new coaster experience, the first hybrid coaster of its kind in the country. Medusa will be transformed into the new innovative Medusa Steel Coaster, featuring a slick steel track atop a wooden base and this giant beast will feature impressive heights, astonishing speeds, stomach-tightening inversions, and an adrenaline rush like no other with its steep drop, extreme turns, and twisting inversions. This technological innovation will combine the classic thrills of a wooden structure, with a new modern track and rails constructed out of steel, providing a ride that’s fiercer and smoother than ever before. Riders will elevate up to touch the sky atop the 98-foot lift hill. Then, you’ll whip over the peak and conquer the heart-racing plunge downward at an unbelievable 58 miles per hour. You’ll reach the bottom of this gut-wrenching slope before you even have time to scream. You’ll then thunder around 3,000 feet of non-stop action, tackling surprising over-banked turns, sliding around dramatic curves, and twisting through outrageous inversions, flipping head-over-heels through a winding coil. Medusa Steel Coaster will feature two newly-themed trains topped with a mythic eye-catching Medusa head, which will run simultaneously to deliver continuous thrills and screams. The renovated, first-of-its-kind roller coaster is set to debut in summer 2014. Are you ready to take on the rip-roaring Medusa Steel Coaster?

Erik Johnson 7 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ths looks like my favorite new attraction that was announced this morning. I will have to do the next TPR trip. Link to post Share on other sites
Jakizle 11 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 ^Agreed. The layout looks so good. There is an insane amount of twisty airtime hops and drops all over the layout among the heavily banked turns and barrel rolls! Link to post Share on other sites
FreeFaller 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This coaster looks really exciting! Can't wait to see more! Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyknottsville 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm wondering if that is the Wingover Drop Darien Lake was talking about in it's concept of Lake Monster??? either way that first drop on the New Medusa looks sick!!! as does Goliath at SFGAm RMC is really on a roll Link to post Share on other sites

yay101 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Wow. Looks like Goliath has a ride to compete with! Link to post Share on other sites
WFChris 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I will definitely be riding that next year. Looks awesome!!! Link to post Share on other sites
cfc 76 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Another TPR Mexico Trip just became even more enticing. This redo of Medusa looks great! Link to post Share on other sites
Garet 75 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 After all the terms of hybrid and is it a woodie or not thrown around in the past , I find it quiet interesting that they went with Medusa steel coaster as opposed to Iron Medusa or something along those lines. I have no problems with it at all, I just find it interesting Link to post Share on other sites
TXman308 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Interesting that it looks like they're now going to use Outlaw Run style trains. An outcome of the NTAG accident? Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlittle 1 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) That first drop is awesome with the inversion to start it. It looks like its going to be another winner from RMC. Why hasn't Cedar Fair jumped on this? Looks I will be trying to go down south next year. Edited August 29, 2013 by Mrlittle Link to post Share on other sites
Jakizle 11 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Interesting that it looks like they're now going to use Outlaw Run style trains. An outcome of the NTAG accident? It might just be that RMC wasn't building their own trains when NTAG and IRAT were designed. Now they have their own, so why not use them? Link to post Share on other sites
ernierocker 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think now that they have several months of operation out of their own trains, they are happy enough with their performance that they no longer have to go with the Gerstlauer trains. But, I am sure the SFOT incident helped make that decision much easier. Link to post Share on other sites
Devious 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think now that they have several months of operation out of their own trains, they are happy enough with their performance that they no longer have to go with the Gerstlauer trains. But, I am sure the SFOT incident helped make that decision much easier. Going to echo this, they designed their trains for their rides, so with a catalyst like the NTAG incident, i'm sure it was a no-brainer to go with their own technology for these new rides. And this medusa rework...HOLY CRAP, the rocky mountain boys really want to keep pushing the envelope ....and i'm totally okay with this, now to book a mexico trip again Link to post Share on other sites
