Cedar Point 2018 - Steel Vengeance RMC Mean Streak

They should, um, follow the previous "Mean Streak" layout until the MCBR part. Those drops looked plausible!

[Paradox]

I think we could be looking at a potential wave turn followed by reverse-wave turn sequence made out of the two hills following the first drop. And if they don't do a double-up ????? la New Texas Giant we might see a Twisted Colossus style low-rise hill created out of the new larger space.

ill just leave this here.

MID-COURSE ELEVATED LAUNCH ?!?!

Photos creds to CP Rundown's facebook and Great Ohio Coaster Clubs facebook!

If this ends up being 200ft I'm really curious to see what they do support wise since the winters are so brutal there.

Wow if this is really going to be a Wild West themed RMC, it's no wonder that this will get a mid-course (powerful) launch as well as Maverick.

Radical change!

Ok that color looks amazing in frontier town. Obviously there's a ton of work left to be done but so far I still think this could be 2017. They seem to be about 50% done with track/support removal and if I remember right the track is placed much quicker than the supports are modified.

I see they're doing more work on STR. Any sign that skycoaster is going to be placed there?

The more pictures I see the more I get hyped. Also interested to see what they'll do with the area that was once Shoot the Rapids.

I think Ripcord is being dumped there but I'm not sure.

[Paradox]

Oh boy

[Coasterkidmwm]

I knew it was steeper but that's so different now that I see it lol.

This definately looks like it'll be over 200ft now. Assuming they're keeping that ange of ascent to the old part of the lift hill.

That's a "really" good stairway to the terror!

Noticed this in Cedar Point's new Christmas video...

Looking more and more like it's going to be 2018. Still don't really understand why construction would need begin this far in advance, but then again, what do I know about roller coaster construction?

lol

That is looking less and less like a chain lift the more I see of it.

Prepared by Richard Michael Chutney?

RMC, gosh. I wonder :V

Lol still playing with the RMC initials I see.

It's planned for 2018 because they're preparing for a full year of crap. Dang, they are definitely aiming for 200 feet. I can't believe how steep the lift is... if you continue that angle to the apex it's easily an extra 40 feet of height. I originally thought it was a stretch because they're going to have a lot of extra speed for that profile. But they've surprised me before.

Omg 6 coasters in one park over 200 feet. I love CP.

I just want to point out, they can theoretically take tallest inversion record again and would then have the three tallest inversions all to themselves.(Valravn and Gatekeeper are 1 and 2)

Wonder if it will be the first RMC conversion to have a longer track length than the original ride.

What's the height of the tophats on the Mr. Freeze Clones?

[Coasterkidmwm]

That would be a really long ass ride if it did lol.

... Tophat? Then I'd imagine the "defunct" Batman & Robin! Could be the RMC's first "intense" Cobra Roll or the park's tallest and most "iconic" inversion!

Hmm, just my bad speculation, though!
