Totally fantastic! Love the pacing, and those airtime hills look pretty solid the whole way through.

I realized this after the fact!

 

[Ben]

**** me yes that can get on me in me all around me.

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Why did I not wait a year? Those laterals at the end will be bonkers.

 

[Pink Cadillac]

That overbanked turn after the airtime hill is just wild.

 

[Ian]

Looks like RMC have created another winner. Those guys really are in a league of their own.

The speed and pace is mostly constant throughout and I love the way it (almost) takes turns between inversions and airtime moments.

I did think it lost a bit of magic towards the end but on the whole, it's another RMC work of art.

 

[Hyde]

As a fun comparison, this will be RMC's shortest coaster at 2,744 ft. Next shortest is Outlaw Run, at 2,937 ft., 193 ft. longer.

Gravity Group's Ravine Flyer II is also in the same neighborhood for length at 2,900 ft.

 

[Tomatron]

Yeah this looks **** awesome.

 

[Bat Fastard]

Yes. Please. June, please come to me faster!!

 

[Hutch]

Yeah it definitely looks like one of the better RMCs! Love the pacing throughout.

It still looks fab. <3

It's like a little baby RMC!

Night ride, anyone?

 

[Jarrett]

We have a first review!

Talked to my friend Nick today who knows somebody who's been on it. According to them, "nobody's prepared for that ride."

It's from a friend of a friend, but take it as you will.

I honestly think this coaster is the "Sleeper of the year." Not much buzz about it cause RMC has bigger projects going on. But it definitely will get KK back on the map. I am planning on my first trip to KK this year. My last one was planned 2010
