The angle makes the shaping look really weird, of course RMC know what they're doing so it'll ride perfectly but it does look a little odd to my eye!

They'll be done with this one pretty quickly. Looking more and more like Wicked Cyclone West!

They've still got a lot more track to put down! It's strange how slowly the RMC's are moving along this year. Last year they absolutely booked it with WC.

The stall on Twisted Colossus is one of my favorite parts of the ride, and this stall looks a little more robust. There are so many things I would like to do with this track, riding it being one of them.

I think the green and purple rails go absolutely horribly with the brown supports.

I think they should have gone all purple. Still, I won't care if the ride kicks ass.

It looks too much like Medusa. At least now that this is coming together it's starting to look much more interesting.

I still don't love the two color track, but that photo makes it look actually pretty decent. I like that angle and element sequence a lot.

Reminds me of the second "New Texas Giant" twisty hill, but at a low point! :shock:

I love the look of those supports so much that they are similar to a real tree color! :D

Probably the most boring of the RMCs being built this year. Still awesome though.

^^ There's still a chance to be regarded as an awesome track like "Storm Chaser" which was thought to be just a park's moderate thrill coaster addition! I still have pretty high hopes!

Why would anyone consider Joker to be a coaster that will only offer a moderate thrill?
