Now testing with people! It's definitely getting faster with each run.

^ Those airtime hills are as crazy as the movement of a rainbow frog in your avatar is, lol! I have a big feeling that this RMC twister will outdo any Intamin Megalite!

Wow, it's has great pacing considering it's just an early test run! Should be a beast by the time it opens.

Unless they pull a Tatsu. Which was running "too fast" on it's first runs. So they changed the wheel ratio to slow it down.

Not only actual "Points-Of-View" but POV shots are worth checking out! :)

That first overbank tracks really weird at the beginning. Looks like a great ride though.

Sweet, they released the video. The end seems a lot slower than I thought it was going to be. I hope it still provides a good ride experience at this point and doesn't end like NTG. Also I feel like they filmed on an empty train so it'll probably run better with a boatload of midwesterners.

The airtime on this looks comparable to an Intamin mega lite. I can't wait to ride this after Holiday World next month!

This is definitely the least attractive RMC however. Yikes.

They said the train was weighted for that filming. I don't know how much. It'll surely break in after some time running. I'm tentatively planning to ride it on the 23rd this month so I will try to remember to post my thoughts. RMCs consistently surprise me with their ride experiences.

The speed is great on this considering that it hasn't broken in yet and it's not even open to the public.

I got amazed by those banked turns which are close to perfection! I have to say like that ride logo is a legendary-spoken art thing, just because of an eye-catching design!
