Zader Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Looks like there could be a RMC Raptor coming to Wild Water West in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I think this could be a really good draw for South Dakota. I know there are some national parks, but I'm not much of a nature guy so this could probably get me to SD https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/wild-water-west-says-roller-coaster-project-in-very-preliminary-stage/ **Edit -Added proposal letter (posted by _trollercoaster_ on /r/rollercoasters) https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/f8xyxk/plans_for_rmc_raptor_at_wild_water_west_in_sioux/fio8nrf) Edited February 26, 2020 by Zader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 SD is a long distance to travel for just a coaster, even if it is a really good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster sally Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Wish it was a custom layout, but I understand 400k off is a big value for a small waterpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 What an odd large purchase for a tiny little water park and family fun center. I wouldn’t bat an eyelash if it was a flat ride or kiddy coaster. Being that we are talking about an RMC Raptor it raises questions: Where are they getting the money? Is this a part of an expansion that includes more dry ride? What is their expected impact on Attendance? Did/will they ask for tax incentives? Are they going to be able to keep this running? And my final statement, someone says Go Big or Go Home!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is also a custom layout because it is 500 feet longer and is a little layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 There is lots of speculation that this is the actual coaster that was on display at IAAPA this year. It's reasonable to assume that RMC may have given them a good deal on what was essentially a 'display model', for lack of a better term.
