Coaster Hero Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 ^ Seriously, back seat rides on airtime machines are crazy. Just the thought of being dragged down that quadruple down is pretty insane.
A.J. Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Seriously, back seat rides on airtime machines are crazy. Just the thought of being dragged down that quadruple down is pretty insane. See, I'm the opposite. I like sitting in the front and getting pops just as the train goes over the top.
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 See, I'm the opposite. I like sitting in the front and getting pops just as the train goes over the top. I'm with you on this one. I LOVE the front row of Outlaw Run. It is amazing. The back is good, but I really enjoy the front. Can't wait to ride Lightning Rod, I venture to say I will end up loving the front row on Lightning Rod more than the back, just like with Outlaw Run, and New Texas Giant!
ASE Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Crowds were light today. Wild Eagle was a walk-on most of the day. Tennessee Tornado was shut down for the first half of the day...they claim a sensor needed replaced. Here are some pics of Lightning Rod's construction
ASE Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Also, the Wild Eagle got shut down for a moment today...because apparently a drone was flown too close to it! yikes

See, I'm the opposite. I like sitting in the front and getting pops just as the train goes over the top. It really depends on the coaster. Some are definitely front row rides, but for me some are best in the back
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 ...but for me some are best in the back ... That's what he said?

Some are definitely front row rides, but for me some are best in the back For me, Goliath really fits this description. My first ride on it was in the front and really underwhelming. Much better ride in the back. Outlaw Run was totally different as I enjoyed all parts of the train. I suspect Lightning Rod will be more like Outlaw Run than Goliath
Vonni Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 ^ Assuming from comments I've read all over the net, it seems that the general opinion is that Goliath is the weakest of the RMC Coasters to date. I've yet to ride it myself.

I've yet to ride it myself. It is widely considered the weakest... It's not a coincidence that it's also the shortest RMC either... They go hand in hand...

It's really more like the least awesome of the RMC coasters. It's still better than 13 other coasters at its park, and it would be the best ride in almost any park that doesn't already have an RMC.
bkwjjm Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 So far, there is no such thing as a bad RMC. Some are better than others, but they are all great coasters.
blk_mamba Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 So far, there is no such thing as a bad RMC. Some are better than others, but they are all great coasters. So jealous, this is the closest RMC to me, I have to go! I can't wait for quad hump, to be completed
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I can't wait for quad hump, to be completed You know I was just thinking the same thing. However I wasn't think "quad hump" I was thinking... You know... a Quadruple Down. A "quad hump" sounds like something from some video you would find on an XXX site.
LiftThrill Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Oh no page 666 :o Can't wait for Lightning Rod!!!

Oh, agreed... I was just speaking for Goliath vs other RMC's....
ImNotOneOfYou Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Page 66- I've been beaten. The quadruple down on its own makes the ride seem amazing. Now throw in a wave turn, a launch, and an amazing drop, and you have wooden Maverick.
mordecai-75 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 i might be beating a dead horse here, but i still believe that there is something more to this ride then we all know. the specs are saying 3,800 ft of track at 73mph, also claiming a ride time of over 3 min. my research proves that impossible if the coaster doesn't have something significant to count as ride time, " like a Blue Fire style dark ride like beginning that i've mentioned before. " i mean, there also will not be a chain lift counting as ride time. think about it?
jjzadero Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 ^I was thinking the same thing after the ride was announced. With a launched lift hill, how is it possible for the ride time to be over 3 minutes long?!
ImNotOneOfYou Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 ^I was thinking the same thing after the ride was announced. With a launched lift hill, how is it possible for the ride time to be over 3 minutes long?! Maybe they plan on stacking
Guy T. Koepp Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 ^This. One minute of ride time, and 2 minutes of waiting for the other train to load and unload.
bkwjjm Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Hopefully, we'll eventually see a complete POV animation that will answer some of these questions regarding the layout, ride time, etc.
Brassinthegrass Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I'm still going to go with the press how on the straight away before the launch...
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Hopefully, we'll eventually see a complete POV animation that will answer some of these questions regarding the layout, ride time, etc. I hope that "eventually" is SOON!!! I can't wait much longer!
FaithPlus1 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 This has to be the most anticipated coaster in the US. Who would guessed Dolly and her great big gargantuan boobies would be involved in one of North Americas best Amusement Parks?! I just wish it was named "Big Boobs and Coasters" instead of Dollywood.
