Out of all the projects this year, this is the one I'm most interested in apart from what CP will do. We've seen what they do with giant coasters, lets see how they handle smaller ones

While Cyclone doesn't have the most intense layout, I'm curious as to see how RMC is gonna take it up a notch.

Seriously? Cyclone had one of the most intense layouts out there. All of the drops were like cliffs.

Eh, It has some nice drops, but compared to other woodies it's not the most thrilling.

Finally, an East Coast RMC! Now getting to ride one seems more reasonable for me :D (unless Kennywood is going to get one in 2016 - but I don't see that happening)

Six Flags marketing is hilarious. First 200 degree stall? Smoothest Rollercoaster in the world?!

That said the section at 0:47 looks intense if a little silly.

This layout is definitely better than that of Twisted Colossus. I am amazed at how well they managed to transform the old ride. I can now brag about my homepark having something good.

EDIT: WTF IS A 200 DEGREE STALL? I AM SO CONFUSED.

The 200 degree stall is like the zero G stall, but it banks farther out (to 200 degrees instead of 180) before twisting back. It's the element right here:

Looks like a very good layout. I really like the 200 degree stall, changing direction while upside down should be very interesting. Good amount of headchoppers, I always liked when coasters snake around inside their support system, and this one is LITERALLY doing that.
Also seems to copy Millinuem Force's beginning lol, which isn't a complaint. I love that, especially with the head-choppers.

yeah Goliath was way too short, especially considering it took all those records, basically for nothing. it doesn't need to be that tall or go that fast if the coaster is so short.

Goliath hauls a** for that minute though. Everybody who has ridden it would agree it's short but nobody would say it was not worth all of the records.

Back on track*
I want them to do Viper @SFGAm now after seeing this. This looks like the best I-Box layout by far, at least in my opinion. What was the purpose of the 200 degree stall though? Alan Schilke couldn't get the 180 degree shaping right with Newton 2? :lol:

The lateral g would feel weird while upside down, being uspide down for longer than normal too. Also to trick the rider.
