Why would you want normal turns... lol go ride Pepsi Max Big One if that's what you like

Big One's turns aren't normal. They're (es)specially bad.

^ This is gonna have one great start! The mirrored roll drop!

Looks like it doesn't rise up at all to do the roll. Interesting.

This should be one of the better RMC's. Always thought the original layout was kind of goofy. At least it wasn't Hercules lol.

Cool pictures - you can really see how much play is in the track connectors!

[Dirk_Ermen]

Wow, that turn is straight!

And yes the lateral bend in the break run is real:



The track does this because of clearance issues with the track that crosses under the lift.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Based on the old footers for the original ride I can see why!

[Coasterkidmwm]

That's a hell of a roll. Looks almost like a dive loop.

I kinda wish RMC would stop doing these barrrel roll drops.

Do they tend to have good airtime? The down-drop that is.

I gotta say it was quite a fun first drop on Storm Chaser.

The barrel roll drop on Medusa is great but it's a primarily visual element because you almost dive into the lift structure, though it's not very forceful. Storm Chaser and Twisted Timbers don't have that, so I doubt it creates the same effect.

^ Wanna take a spin? I'm expecting a quick moment there!
