Cedar Point 2018 - Steel Vengeance RMC Mean Streak

After new pictures of the ride were posted yesterday, I decided to take that and create this. I am 100% positive this what the first half of Mean Streak will be.

Well looks like it will do a stall under the lift.

Master Schilke is doing it again. This looks fantastic.

Nice. It looks like a little stall that rotates the opposite direction of that roll. That entire turnaround will be nice and disorienting lol.

please don't crawl please don't crawl please don't crawl please don't crawl

^ Granted (, but...)!

If I'm gonna be honest this ride looks like poop. No where near the prettiness of Mean Streak.

Well, most of the new track isn't installed yet, so of course the aesthetic will get worse before it gets better.

More ledgers have been installed and the wave turn is now in place!

I think I see a double-up in the works

[Coasterkidmwm]

The first pic features track totally deviating from the path of the original layout right?

^No. Everything built so far follows the original layout completely. I would say its safe to assume that the whole ride will follow the original layout.

Stall is up!

Oh boy

^^ Looks more intense than "New Texas Giant" obviously, because of an inversion part!

[Paradox]

Looks like after the MCBR, we have a flat turn into a drop, then a double up, then a twisted off axis hill, then an overbank/inversion thing under the original lift structure. Thanks to CPRundown for the pics.

Thanks for the continuing updates. Is that the start of another wave turn inside the lift structure in that last picture?

[Paradox]

It seems to be an overbank which could turn into an inversion.

It seems to me that they are working on the layout now to incorperate it with the old and than work on the first drop and the mcbr

How will they install track inside the wooden structure?

[hyyyper]

The support structure looks very dense from the side, but it is actually very spacious. So you can just drop or lift your next section of track vertically though the structure and then rotate it when it's at the right height.



easy peasy

[Turbo]

I've always been curious about just how difficult it would be to do that.

Yes, that's a clever solution, thanks hyyyper.
