Manic Monte Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Yes, I was right about the EGF-like twisted first drop! This looks incredible, right up there with Steel Medusa and Wicked Cyclone!
805Andrew Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The worst kept secret thanks to SFDK's accidental Facebook post. Glad Roar is getting RMCed and CA is getting a second RMC. Roar was fun with a great layout and I can't wait to see what RMC does to it. I love the track colors by the way.
jedimaster1227 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 With this being the first RMC conversion of a GCI coaster, it is interesting to see how some of the signature curves of GCI's design have partially remained intact. I'm especially curious to see how this one turns out when compared to the other Six Flags RMC coasters, but I'm sure it will be an incredible experience.
robbalvey Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 With this being the first RMC conversion of a GCI coaster, it is interesting to see how some of the signature curves of GCI's design have partially remained intact... ...and this gives a GCI coaster the awesome airtime it never had! Now they just need to do this with more GCI woodies! Gwazi...can you be next?

coasterkid124 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Yes! They killed airtime hating first drop. At least now it will have a pop of air before curving, like EGF. Looks like another winner for RMC. This layout looks like it has a lot of the elements from Wicked Cyclone, because of how people raved about its intensity and airtime.
RollerManic Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I love that first drop, but I wonder if it will be jarring like Superman / Tempesto's drop just mentioned here yesterday. I mean, that was some violent airtime for a small train!
scooterdoug Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Every year I read park announcements with jealousy, wishing that my home park could get something crazy awesome like other parks get. This year, I'm just blown away that our humble little SFDK is receiving what amounts to pretty much the greatest gift from the roller coaster gods that one can ask for. I can't wait for those dead days in winter when I can just marathon this thing. The Joker looks stunning!
VF15 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm a little surprised that they went the "Storm Chaser" route and named it something completely unrelated to the original ride, but nevertheless, RMC has hit another home run with the Joker. Should be very intense with lots of airtime.
PKI Jizzman Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Oh sweet baby Jesus that first drop...Goliath's zero G stall...other crazy inversions and airtime moments. Looks like another unique RMC to deliver.
grsupercity Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 SFDK just won best new six flags ride of the year!

Jcoaster Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 So help me god if I hear one complaint about this ride. Best new Six Flags ride next year with the best color scheme of any RMC wifh the best name.

Now they just need to do this with more GCI woodies! Gwazi...can you be next? Please let it be so! The first thing I said when I saw the layout is "Oh wow, look, they kept some of the signature GCI curves!" And then I looked at the rest and said: "Oh, thank god, they added air time and some awesome RMC stuff!"

I, er, need to go take care of something...

coasternate Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 THIS LOOKS AWESOME! I feel so lucky I'll have this thing 20 minutes from my house! Can't wait!
coasterfreak101 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I like how Six Flags has gotten to the point where they claim World's Firsts just because marketing came up with some stupid name for an element. It's gonna be an awesome ride, but a 'step-up under-flip inverted roll'? Come on.

They should put a sushi stand next to ride and offer a "step-up under-flip inverted California roll." This might be my favorite name for a ride element.
Genx24 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 My goodness, RMC knocks it out of the park again. And what a colour scheme! And theme! You guys got the best addition chain-wide; treasure it always. Hopefully I can make my way out for a visit in the near future.

I'm not complaining, don't worry! If it gets people talking about it, then I couldn't care less. Some of these element names just sound so silly - marketing is a funny thing.
i<3coasters Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Hmmm... Twisted Colossus a 2-hour drive from me, and this a 1-hour flight... SFDK 2016, here I come!
