Cedar Point 2018 - Steel Vengeance RMC Mean Streak

[slosprint]

Are the supports opposite those crossbeams new? Maybe a high-five element?

If this doesn't turn out to be the scariest roller coaster I've ever seen in real life I'll be disappointed. I haven't been this nervous about riding a roller coaster since I waas a kid and I don't even know the layout yet

Omg I can't wait for this!

Well played CP. Clever Girl.

Hey does anyone still have that picture of the list that "whatever-his-name-is" from the Cedar Point blog posted? most of that list has happened, forgot wht else was on it beside an aquatrax

Oh boy

Mean "outward banked turns" Streak

So is that like a 3ft air hill?

How great!

That airtime hop was shown at Chillout!

Lightning-Run-finale intensity airtime right after the first drop?

SPOILER: it's large

^ The photo is, yeah, large and so is that outside banked element!

Where are you guys finding these pictures? Is there a Twitter page or something I don't know about?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.

I think they left the supports on the super outer-banked turn because the actual turn is primarily built on what was the turn that went into the block brake. The original profile had a rather large turn there.

Do you guys think the turn that used to go over the lift will dip under it now?

With the way the structure is and RMC's "We don't make simple flat turns" it loos that way.

I think it'll go over it. They wouldn't have started the lift construction if they're going to alter the wooden support structure underneath right after would they?

Most of the supports are intact around the top, so maybe they're going to add something over still?

My guess.

They are going to do to an inverted three piece wham toe jam 900 element right through that lift.

My bet is that it will go under the lift. It would probably be going uncharacteristically slow for an RMC if it went over the new, taller lift at that point.

Maybe the element will be a drawbridge element where the track will come down and rest on the lift when the train goes by. It can be inspired by this railroad crossing.

^That seems HIGHLY unlikely lol

Looks like they're building near the station now. Take a look at the one overview from I believe January or December. That whole section to the right of the entrance was is GONE. Im still thinking a stall will go there, or maybe a dive down into a tunnel and the new entrance would cross over it (ala Fury 325)

I was thinking it would have a drop like X2 has, but not vertical to eat up the extra space.

A pre-drop on a RMC would be heaven!

Doesn't Lightning Rod also have a similar predrop on top of their first hill?
