The craziest development ever. This is the old Drier Looping / Magnum Force / Quimera which of course had a .... bad ending in Mexico City. Surprised someone was willing to put the necessary work in to it...it apparently was quite neglected by La Feria structurally.

Maybe its just me.................reminds me of looking at T2 trains at KK during an offeseason event and a budday said to me "Vekoma basically used the Copy & Paste method and ripped off Arrow designs"............think this can apply here They didn't rip off Arrow, they licensed it. ...

I don't think speed helps. It's just a shite layout.

Looks like a scaled up version of the ZDT Switchback, but with the first turn 180 degrees rather than 90, and the pre-spike turn going the other way.

It blows my mind that Dodonpa is almost 20 years old, and Fujiyama is only a few years older.

Looks dull as poop to me. Like Wildcat / Roar but somehow even rampier.

Why do you think the height requirement will be less than 48"?

Snooze. Reminds me a lot of the early GCIs like Wildcat and Roar - swoopy and rampy and not very forceful.

It's like the Carowinds situations. It just seems so.....redundant.

If you're going to have 2 B&M Hypers in one park, the layouts should be....different.

3rd hill on Goliath?

I'm guessing GCI. Looks similar to a lot of what they've been building in China for the last decade or so.

Whatever the number for coasters is for negatives, it won't compare to coming around the bottom of a Zipper upside down.

Over/under on how this lasts?

I'm saying 3 years.

SF and complex rides do not mix.

Both of those names are dumb as poop.

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

It's probably much stronger than the old design.

Generally speaking, a circle is the strongest shape there is, and any sort of strong angle is bad for fatigue.

Doubt there'd be a new Steeplechase style ride built. My guess is this is replacement track for either Knotts or Blackpool.

There is no such thing as a realistic model because friction and gravity don't scale.

I suspect this will be much better to watch than to ride. Constant(ish) speed flipping just isn't that exciting. Reminds me of the old Zamperla Mixer/Rotoshake rides.

Should have just topper tracked it. Original design was perfection (when well maintained). This is shite. Worst RMC design by far.

Looks really good except the last turn-around. Don't know why they made that so rampy when it could have easily had, say, a double up in and a double down out.

While the 2nd... 2/3rds of the ride was crap, I actually loved the opening sequence on Shockwave.

Good first drop > loop > into floater air and then diving while banking practically on your side.


Shame they didn't build it as a sitdown.

First RMC to be longer than the ride that was rebuilt.

That's so that when they realize that installing a 400pph ride at a major themer was dumb, so they can move it to like, Frontier City or something.

I still don't understand why they didn't make these 2 or even 3 wide.
