Six Flags Mexico (SFM) Discussion Thread

^^^ Even though I posted those pictures on like the last page. Their still great photos to look at. I think RMC has the whole hybrid construction down now to a T now. Just saying Cedar Fair.

I didn't know that you already posted them, but yes these photo's are just awesome to look at.

Even though I'm 100% confident that this ride will be completely safe, the structure looks sketchy as hell, but not as sketchy as the barrel-roll on Iron Rattler.

[arby]

This looks great! I need to get my butt to Mexico.

[Woodie Warrior]

I can't wait until RMC has a coaster in every park across the world. Their designs are unique and crazy and the rides are smooth and very photogenic.

More pictures from the RMC page on facebook. All credit goes to them.

[Jon Sabo]

I am really looking forward to ALL the RMC rides in 2014. This one looks fun as well.

[fatdaddy]

Now I have a reason to go to Mexico besides prostitutes...I mean fireworks...tacos? Fish taco? I like RMC coasters.

[Double0Kevin]

Why do you think the track is always red? I mean I think it looks great, I have no problem with it at all, but I'm curious why they haven't gone with another color yet.

 

Back on track, Medusa is looking awesome. Can't wait to see it fully complete.

[DiegoCC]

Hey there! Medusa's re-construction is going FAST!

 

As usual, the pics are from Milton Garduño (http://www.montanarusa.com/forum)

First drop almost done

[rcjp]

Wow! That will be steeper than I thought! These RMC are all looking great. Can't wait to see more!

[WFChris]

I'm interested to see how it looks once the other rail has been installed!

[GwaziBSRider1]

Medusa is becoming even sexier! This is going to be a kickass ride!

I was thinking the same thing, that roll looks like it would be really fun. Hopefully I get to get down there and ride this someday.

Okay. So the "former" Medusa was my #600 back in March in the TPR Tour.

 

But now with the redesign, re-tracking, etc.etc... will it be a new credit?

 

Just curious. And I don't assume anything here, at TPR.

[ArizonaGuy]

Ok....this coaster already looks amazing!!! Mexico trip!!!

[Stephen G]

Something about RMC and fast construction makes me really happy, also that first drop looks like a maneuver you would pull in a dog fighter.

I think when a ride gets this much re-work done, it basically makes it a completely new ride experience, and for those of you counting, sure, it's a new credit.

 

First off, it's not even the same "coaster type" anymore. It's not like Son of Beast where there was the version with a loop or without the loop. You could argue those are two different credits, but it's the same ride, same type of ride, just with an element changed. I rode both versions of Drachen Fire and never even thought about counting it twice.

 

But yeah, I think this is one of those cases where they essentially tore down the ride and re-built it into something completely different.

 

I think you'd be "ok" counting it again!

Yes it will be a new credit. Just like Irat and NTag were new. Hmm Medusa Steel Coaster needs a nick name? Medu, MeS, MeDuSt, MeSt.

I actually just noticed that RCDB finally added the RMC remakes as new, separate coasters, listing their former wooden versions as defunct rides. Here's SFM's page, for example.

 

This is already looking striking with the new track!

I've been jokingly calling it iMed.

Twenty-four times.

You count it every time you ride it, right?

Woo Hoo!
