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

 

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

 

The angle on that looks amazing! Booth at the entrance of the roll, and down the hill

Wow - I definitely think Spring Break 2015 will be a great re-entry into taking TPR trips. I haven't been on one in the last couple of years and words cannot describe how much I miss them!

^^ That photo looks amazing! Really looking forward to the next TPR trip south of the border!

Not a lot of changes as of now, but they have finished the drop.

 

As usual, picture taken from Milton Garduño.

It seems its going to be AWESOME

[coastercoaster5]

WOW^

[ArizonaGuy]

Nice, it's looking good. I'd love to do a TPR trip in 2015 to Mexico!

[gerstlaueringvar]

The first drop looks steeper than I thought! And that's a good thing!

[WFChris]

Sooo glad I can continue to avoid Texas but not RMC

 

That drop looks unlike anything else out there...at all! Very cool!

[GwaziBSRider1]

I'm speechless from that drop. That's going to be one damn amazing ride.

As if there was any debate, the things Rocky Mountain Construction has already managed to do Medusa (along with Texas Giant, Iron Rattler and Outlaw Run before it) is proof of just how cutting edge this company is turning out to be when it comes to designing coasters!

[Jon Sabo]

They are wasting no time to get this ride finished. Looks great!

[A.J.]

I'm still not a fan of the orange track. Why not green or purple or yellow?

[ArizonaGuy]

^^

They had left over orange paint from iRat.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

Oh yellow would look awesome. But in the end, it's really not the color that matters. This is looking amazing! That first drop looks incredible. I may just have to go to Mexico some day!

[DiegoCC]

Hey there!

 

So, SFM decided to give tours through Medusa Steel Coaster when no one's working in it, and this tour is 100% free.

 

The pics are provided by Milton Garduño and Jesus Arevalo (http://www.facebook.com/montanarusa and http://www.facebook.com/pages/El-mundo-de-las-monta%C3%B1as-rusas)

 

It's 30 meters high, but the drop is actually 36 meters. That first drop looks sexy as hell.

 

[Nrthwnd]

It's looking better and better, with every posting!

Thank you for sharing a part of the tour.

[Brassinthegrass]

oh. my. sexy.

[Randomman295]

Wow, this thing looks amazing so far. Can't wait to see what that first drop is going to be like.

[kidcoaster 2]

Do you sign up at the park for the tour? That's pretty sweet they are offering it.

 

Nice photos!

[mattnz]

Am loving the look of that first drop. RMC seem to be able to come up with never-before-seen elements on all of their coasters. Creative minds at work!

[gerstlaueringvar]

Looks fantastic! Now I need a visa to Mexico!

 

^ I don't think Medusa has any new elements though...

[Mrlittle]

Awesome update. That first drop looks really great.

[ZeroGravity55]

I've never seen anything like the 153 on Outlaw Run. I've heard of a wave turn before, but never seen it on a coaster before Outlaw Run. Those are just two elements though. I think that the way that they're easily implementing these elements on their coasters with 100% confidence is what's most impressive. I look at the way they're putting some of these elements on these coasters (especially the re-mods) and can't help but think, how the hell is that possible?

[WFChris]

^Yeah, I would consider that first drop to be a new element, unless somebody can cite a coaster that does...whatever exactly it's doing
