RollerNut Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Rocky Mountain Construction also does Skycoaster installation and water park construction. Both of which Cedar Point is currently doing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Wouldn't that just drive everybody nuts if the whole off season the peninsula is crawling with RMC crews but no announcement about Frontier Town? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Rocky Mountain Construction also does Skycoaster installation and water park construction. Both of which Cedar Point is currently doing. As far as Skycoaster, the only one mentioned on their website is a different style....not to mention Ripcord at CP is on the ground in pieces for the move to wherever it's going. However, the crane wasn't on property from what I could tell prior to the end of Sunday night. As far as the Waterpark...maybe? Doesn't Cedar Fair partner with Adena Corporation for a majority of their installations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Maverick Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Adena or M&V are the two names I see most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 ^ Most likely the stabilizer arm on the other side of the crane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragsterguy21 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 So apparently the Mean Streak station is all ready gutted and the track is gone. https://instagram.com/p/BKt6_-mgIHS/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Does anyone recall what the timeline was like when NTAG was done, like when SFoT announced it's closure, when they announced the RMC refurb, etc? Considering Mean Streak is slightly bigger than Texas Giant, it makes sense that they'd have similar construction timelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 NTG I think started at the end of one season, worked through the next and opened the following. Mean Streak could follow the same timeline, but there are other reasons it may not..... 1) Not a full conversion/re-profile 2) this isn't RMC's first major project so they could possibly have the art/science down well enough that it may be finished in a smaller timeline.

The Interpreter Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Texas weather is substantially different than on the Great Lakes.... Terp, just notin' 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm still confident the new Mean Streak will open in 2018, hopefully with a new and original name and theme. When the announcement will be is what intrigues me. Currently I'm thinking they'll wait until the park reopens in May and do it then or early June before the new layout can start being figured out by the enthusiasts.

CP Maverick Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Texas weather is substantially different than on the Great Lakes.... Terp, just notin' And RMC has dramatically increased their annual capacity... Just looking at all angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 ^Pretty much no amount of added capacity can overcome winter construction conditions on Lake Erie. If a Mean Streak RMC makeover is in the works, it's gonna take a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Maverick Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It makes a difference when you are comparing the first conversion they ever did, out of a factory significantly smaller than what they have now. Do we really think this one MUST take longer? CP hasn't had many problems getting rides constructed during the Erie winters before. They have 7 full months to get this thing running if they are looking at 2017. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Cedar Fair have been holding their cards closely on Hurler at Kings Dominion. The ride was closed for the entire season for renovations and that's about all that was said of it. No announcements on what said renovations might be or whom is doing work on the coaster. Now Meanstreak is being removed by track rather than most wooden coaster demises including Son of Beast, which was getting ripped down by cables. I find it all strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 With how precise they are in taking the lift down and not tearing it down like they did with SOB, I'm comfortable in saying RMC conversion confirmed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Not to mention the C-channel pieces lying around, which are used on RMC coasters to attach the track to the supports. See also: Photo source: Google/Drury Hotels. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I would suspect something to come to light by the end of the season, if not, the end of the year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
