ThrillKingsFitzy Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1 hour ago, rhyano said: More than likely it's for overseas, or it's dive coaster track for Emperor at Seaworld San Diego, normally domestic track doesn't show up outside until around July or August. Yukon was an exception because of the work they had to do around Vortex and take out sections of track to fit and lower pieces of track into that tunnel. The track is too thin and light colored for Emperor. It would make sense that it is for something else. Now I don't think it is for Kings Dominion because the volcano replacement is going to be themed to something like an African savanna, based on the teaser. Nothing African would be blue/purple This could very well be for KI 2021. They would want to get Vortex replaced as soon as possible.

Most likely not but just an idea Maybe it is just the picture but it looks damaged. The rails bend way too sharply at the end, maybe it was dropped or something hit it. It has likely been there for a while and will continue to be until they arrange for a semi to take it to get recycled. Reminds me that a piece of Yukon Striker was dropped during construction and I am pretty sure that piece was sent back to Clermont, I doubt that is the piece of track we are looking at though.

rhyano Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I really doubt it's for Kings Island, as said previously via Kings Island's twitter, the park has no plans as to replace Vortex immediately, and B&M track isn't made overnight, they have plenty of work in China, I would suspect that the track piece is for a China project rather than a domestic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSourNinja Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm working on this smaller RMC as the next coaster coming to KI. I originally made it to replace Vortex but they layout probably fits better up front when our boomerang and big ole log ride get the axe. Here is a pic of the WIP: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I don't think KI will get an RMC unless they can quiet down thier anti rollbacks. Imagine the noise complaints with that!Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but I don’t see Cedar Fair spending a lot of money on a prototype at one of their major parks. I’d personally prefer the great safe investments we’ve been getting.

The concept is also much shorter resulting in less noise so it could definitely be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Not all rmc rollercoasters are as loud as Steel Vengeance. I've only been on 4 but all of them have LOUD anti rollbacks. They are actually pretty quiet thru the rest of the course though. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSourNinja Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @Klabergian Empire Here you go! A couple elements I'd like to get more smooth (but it's planet coaster so it's tough) and a couple I am not 100% sold on but this is my concept for a smaller RMC that could fit in the plot. https://youtu.be/sn92a9lyIDA 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThrillKingsFitzy Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I'm hoping for something like a dueling Premier or Mack Rides launch. I would prefer Premier because their launches are more forceful and they can do tons of weird elements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That start to maverick has you standing up in your seat. Especially compared to the catastrophe that was west coast racers. Not opposed to any of the three but that is my preference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
