My Gatekeeper recreation is put on hold indefinitely. I don't think I'd enjoy making it too much unless I somehow get to ride it. I do not have too much motivation right now to finish it, and I think the only way I would continue it is if I can somehow convince my family to make a trip out to Cedar Point so that it can spark some more motivation.
Finally something that isn't a compact looper. I thought the name sounded kinda cool. I know I had sometime made a woodie called X Beast and its signature element was a 90 degree drop, but it was crap. This one aims to be for RMC what the Voyage is to Gravity Group.

A kind of double down drop. This will probably end up as a terrain coaster. The lift crest is roughly 164.8 feet above the base of the lift and the ride is roughly a 193 foot elevation difference. It will probably go into an underground tunnel.

78 degree first drop.

You can't see it just from the picture but the lift sound is ripped from the video of Outlaw Run testing.

That hill pulls serious ejector air, at least -1.0.

As far as I got.
A vital question: do Rocky Mountains have friction wheels in the station or do they rely on gravity to slide out on their own like most wooden coasters do?

I dont know, but considering NTAG operated with a rolling station for a while I assume friction wheels. I mean could be done with just gravity, but with friction wheels it seems easier to control.

Also kin of looks more intamin
What are these for?

They use friction wheels in the stations. I can't be certain about NTAG but Iron Rattler certainly will.
