WICKED Cyclone - Six Flags New England 2015

[TTD03]

The Thrill Capital of New England will be opening a new state-of-the-art roller coaster that integrates the latest in ride technology and innovation in 2015, Wicked Cyclone.

Wicked Cyclone will offer the ultimate in thrills and adrenaline combining the extreme characteristics of both steel and wood to build the first hybrid roller coaster to hit the East Coast.

The highly anticipated Wicked Cyclone, will be storming into Six Flags New England, summer 2015 and will be a ??????must ride?????? for the ultimate thrill seekers. Guests will travel from around the globe to visit as they experience this world class attraction.

Riders will experience a smoother, faster and more intense ride along its 3,320 feet of track on Wicked Cyclone. The intense Hybrid coaster integrating both wood and steel stands 10 stories in the sky and reaches maximum speeds of up to 55 mph.

Once the twenty-four thrill seekers board Wicked Cyclone, it quickly climbs the 109-foot hill to then plummet at maximum speeds while providing riders with weightlessness and a truly wicked ride.

Wicked Cyclone will be the first coaster of its kind to have a 200-degree stall and two Zero-G Rolls. Riders will also be able to experience more airtime than any other coaster in New England on Wicked Cyclone.

Facts: Wicked Cyclone
- 3,320 feet of track
- 10 stories
- Speeds of up to 55 mph
- 24 seats climbs the 109 foot hill
- First coaster of its kind to have a 200 degree stall and two Zero G Rolls

Out of all the projects this year, this is the one I'm most interested in apart from what CP will do. We've seen what they do with giant coasters, lets see how they handle smaller ones

While Cyclone doesn't have the most intense layout, I'm curious as to see how RMC is gonna take it up a notch.

[TTD03]

Yea me too!

Seriously? Cyclone had one of the most intense layouts out there. All of the drops were like cliffs.

Eh, It has some nice drops, but compared to other woodies it's not the most thrilling.

[TTD03]

Well, it will definitely be more thrilling with the announcement today!

Hell yeah it is! Super impressed with the layout! Yet another inverted stall!

Finally, an East Coast RMC! Now getting to ride one seems more reasonable for me (unless Kennywood is going to get one in 2016 - but I don't see that happening)

Six Flags marketing is hilarious. First 200 degree stall? Smoothest Rollercoaster in the world?!

That said the section at 0:47 looks intense if a little silly.

This layout is definitely better than that of Twisted Colossus. I am amazed at how well they managed to transform the old ride. I can now brag about my homepark having something good.

EDIT: WTF IS A 200 DEGREE STALL? I AM SO CONFUSED.

I love the layout for this, I just hate the marketing, its as bad as yolo

This is legitimately the only SF 2015 ride that I have some interest in.

[TTD03]

Um, world's smoothest coaster....
You don't decide that, the rest of the world does...

Yeah, I read it and was like, "are you fudging kidding me?"

The 200 degree stall is like the zero G stall, but it banks farther out (to 200 degrees instead of 180) before twisting back. It's the element right here:

Looks like a very good layout. I really like the 200 degree stall, changing direction while upside down should be very interesting. Good amount of headchoppers, I always liked when coasters snake around inside their support system, and this one is LITERALLY doing that.
Also seems to copy Millinuem Force's beginning lol, which isn't a complaint. I love that, especially with the head-choppers.

[TTD03]

I like the layout, a bit short, but still great!

[Coasterkidmwm]

Not as short as Goliath lol

yeah Goliath was way too short, especially considering it took all those records, basically for nothing. it doesn't need to be that tall or go that fast if the coaster is so short.

Goliath hauls a** for that minute though. Everybody who has ridden it would agree it's short but nobody would say it was not worth all of the records.

Back on track*
I want them to do Viper @SFGAm now after seeing this. This looks like the best I-Box layout by far, at least in my opinion. What was the purpose of the 200 degree stall though? Alan Schilke couldn't get the 180 degree shaping right with Newton 2?

^
The lateral g would feel weird while upside down, being uspide down for longer than normal too. Also to trick the rider.

I guess we could say the stall is "Wicked" anyways TTD get rid of the question mark in the topic title.
