Cedar Point 2018 - Steel Vengeance RMC Mean Streak

It'll be more gorgeous when the lift is complete....

[Paradox]

Almost there!

LOL... it's going to be ridiculous...

[Paradox]

And all the bents are now in! Remember when we thought the first hill looked big?

[Coasterkidmwm]

HHHHHHHHnnnngggg!

Crest is tighter than I imagined it would be.

RMC putting the piece on the top of this coaster is almost symbolic of how quickly they've climbed too the top of the industry

It wouldn't surprise me if their business (at least in the USA) slows way the hell down since they're running out of rides to convert at all of the major parks.

They'd better stay away from Kings Island unless it's for one that's built from the ground up.

If they start converting what little woodies the UK has I'm going to be disappointed. A fresh build like Wildfire sounds good.

They've got most of the major projects this year in the USA, and they are expanding their product line with the raptor and T-rex. I think they will be fine. That being said I would love to see some smaller parks get into the ground up rides. Knoebles would be a great fit for a outlaw run type coaster, minus the terrain of course

Wow that wooden monster will (VERY SOON) let you go straight down! Terrifick!

The world isn't ready for this

I can already tell I'll go into this making the same mistake I did with Taron - expecting it to be too good. But... I... can't... help... it... Looks so...... good...

For a moment I thought it was another 17 year old projecting their work onto a photoshop... But it's genuinely insane this time

HoH!

So how much extra structure did they add to the sides of the lift? I'm not an engineer but it would surprise me if you could just tack on 50ft to the lift with no consequences.

Considering the IBox track weighs less than wooden track due to the hollow structure, all forces will be 1.0 G or less, and combined with shorter trains, I think it will hold fine compared to Son Of beast.

I'm relishing the thought of them redoing SW8.

If they start now we still might get an RMC before next year... just chase GCI round the course.

^ Oh! One snappy-looking roll and a "proudly presented" vertical drop!

[Paradox]

She is complete

HO-LEE F*CK.

HOLY F*CK.

I'm looking into doing my internship here, nd the idea of getting to wake up to this everyday is exciting
