Vortex lover Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yesterday while I was outside of the fence the site leader from RMC came out and gave us stickers and talked about the industry. That really made my day! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I just saw the video, that thing flies up that airtime hill and through the next curve! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That first airtime hill looks insane! I like the trains a lot better running through the course than I did when I first saw them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That last photo that Vortex lover has from RMC, looks an awful lot like Deliriums 2003 Logo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex lover Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The site manager said that the announcement video that KK used for Storm Chaser was what RMC sent them for a idea what it would look like. She said she was shocked when the park used it for advertising. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stashua123 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Wow. This will surprise everyone. This looks like a great RMC! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Whoa.. with the higher resolution that train is mighty slow at the end... but.. it was so fast at the beginning hah 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I doubt it is that slow when it's open to the public, keep in mind this was an empty train, and if it was supposedly the first test run as the video says, the track was cold. Lightning Run's PLC came with a menu to monitor time that cycles took and after a few runs and getting loaded up, that number dropped by several seconds. I don't think it will fly around that corner but it won't be quite a crawl either. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I understand that it will run faster later, but I mentioned it because of quickly it already flies over the first half of the ride. Since the chain speed will be the most significant source of speed increase pre-loaded train. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it seems like the footage is faster then real life do to the voice at the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph88 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 WOW, Storm Chaser looks like so much fun! I'd love to make it my first RMC. Hoping the park will last to 2017 and well beyond. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 That ride looks fun, it has since the video came out at the announcement, however that ride and its cars look really, really ugly to me. Perhaps the 1st hand visual would alter that opinion of mine, just how actually riding a ride can alter one's opinion from what they thought having watched a POV. Then there is the station, I can't fathom any scenario where I would appreciate that amount of red pain. I once read a factoid that Barns and "little old school houses" were always painted red (hence the terms Red Barn and Little Old Red School house) because Red paint was the cheapest paint available. I would think the painting industry has changed significantly in the last 100 years and that there would no longer be a vast difference b/w Red paint, and oh I don't know about 50+ different possible accent colors. Blue, White, Black or Grey would have all worked well to alter that monotone paint job. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Lovin' the video; thanks for posting! I know Storm Chaser is all steel, but my brain somehow thinks it's wooden and relates it to Son of Beast! SC might just be my first RMC! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Lightning Rod will be my first RMC, followed by Storm Chaser!As long as I don't have to add a second trip to Dollywood... I'd like to save the gas money though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 At this point, you may want to make Storm Chaser your first with the unknown status of opening for Lightning Rod. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
