eugenecd Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 What coasters would you like to see RMC convert/ good candidates? Cedar Fair: Hurler 1994- Kings Dominion - SBNO in 2016 season Hurler 1994 - Carrowinds Canadian Mine Buster 1981 - CA Wonderland The Racer 1981 - Kings Island Six Flags: Monstre - LaRonde GA Cyclone 1990 or Great American Scream Machine 1973 - SFOG Roar 1999 - SFA American Eagle 1981 - SFGAm Predator 1990 - Darien Lake - needs help but likely too pricey for a them to afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 ^ Both woodies at Wonderland suck but I do think Mine Buster is infinitely worse. I agree with basically everything you suggested except for Racer but I won't speak for SFOG since I haven't been there. I'd love to see them fix up Monstre, though it won't be able to double duel like Twisted Colossus. After week one I'm sure that La Ronde will run 1 train on it forever, open it 2 hours after the park opens for no reason, close the line way before the park closes and average 7 minute dispatches on the 1 train that's actually running once they cannibalize the others for parts.

flagrockerthegreat Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 This is probably wildly optimistic but I reckon Cedar Fair aren't done with their announcements yet. Don't quote me on that though! Hehehehe, we shall find out sooner or later about Mean Streak and The Hurler. Also what's with the B&M Track i've heard Roumer's going around about that.

kickflipbacktail Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 RMC track at mean streak. Also KD just teased at their 2018 plans for Hurler with a video stating 'rest in peace for now, 2018.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I LOVE the color! I find it amusing that even when Cedar Point is finally going to build a brown steel coaster they are going to be the stubbron b*stards they are and include a shade of red to it.

I'm still waiting for either a full blue or yellow rmc or a topper track that has colorful running surface. I'm so sick of the red/brown thing! Plus cedar point now has 5 red/orange/brownish roller coasters including this conversion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I doubt we will ever see a yellow RMC as yellow paint fades and wears relatively quickly. If Wicked Cyclone was blue I would have been very satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanobieFan Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 How many roller coasters do you think Cedar Fair is going to close for RMC...? I hope this isn't turning into six flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickflipbacktail Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 If it's rides like Hurler and Mean Streak I hope this is EXACTLY like six flags.

BigBad Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 RMC track at mean streak. Also KD just teased at their 2018 plans for Hurler with a video stating 'rest in peace for now, 2018. [pic] Would those for sure be the track and not the cross ties? I was hoping the Mean Streak conversion would be to topper track to keep the ride a wood coaster.

coasterbill Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 How many roller coasters do you think Cedar Fair is going to close for RMC...? I hope this isn't turning into six flags. Why? Six Flags closed a bunch of mediocre / bad wood coasters and made them amazing. Cedar Fair so far is doing the same. I mean look, I loved Mean Streak, but most people didn't and a ride with only one good row on the entire train is kind of ridiculous. It's not like Cedar Fair is planning to Iron Horse the Beast, Blue Streak or Renegade. If a wood coaster is fun and has a unique layout then it's not going anywhere (See Ghostrider), but I love the idea of taking unpopular, rough wood coasters with no historical value at all and making them world class rides. Honestly most wood coasters from the 70's, 80's and early 90's are pretty mediocre (except relocations like Comet and Phoenix which really don't count). That was kind of a dull period of wood coaster design. Tons of parks have them lumbering along but aside from the Beast and probably 1 or 2 coasters I'm probably forgetting none of them are all that impressive and that's generally what RMC is focused on here.

CanobieFan Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Valid point. I really didn't see the reason for closing roar though. That's what I was going for. It was a GCI and not that old. Cedar fair I totally understand where your coming from. They'd never close Rebel Yell for Iron Horse. They aren't six flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's better now but I do think it's kind of strange to close a pretty popular GCI for an RMC. I don't see Cedar Fair doing that though.

I was hoping the Mean Streak conversion would be to topper track to keep the ride a wood coaster. Thats for sure Iron Horse track. They havent kept a single wooden coaster as a steel coasters, same as they havent done a single groun up Iron Horse.

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 How many roller coasters do you think Cedar Fair is going to close for RMC...? I hope this isn't turning into six flags. I hope this does turn into a Six Flags type thing. Look how many "meh" coasters Six Flags changed into amazing, crazy, extreme coasters. If Cedar Fair is doing the same thing, it means there are some awesome coasters coming in the future. Awesome coasters that will use an already existing footprint, which leaves room for more additions in the future. If anyone is complaining about Cedar Fair taking the Six Flags approach and RMCing old, tired, dated coasters into new cutting edge thrill rides are either insane, or have never been on an RMC . . .

The best coasters SF has added over the last 6 years are arguably most of their RMC's . CF has a bunch of great RMC candidates and SF still still has quite a few too.

Racer has too great of a historical value and it would be foolish of KI to RMC it just like that. In fact, Racer was THE coaster that revitalized wooden roller coasters. IMO, if they really had to make it good *again*, they could just do what they did with Ghostrider. Then again, see Twisted Colossus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoBruz199 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 ^.... That's kinda why I bothered to mention it in the first place. I'm really sitting on a fence here, but I'm sorta leaning toward the anti-RMC Racer side. I can envision it, but I'm not really a fan of that idea.
