    California's Great America | Railblazer | RMC Raptor

    ^ I don't remember it always being that way. Wow, things actually got worse under Cedar Fair's care...the fanboys won't want to hear that lol

    California's Great America | Railblazer | RMC Raptor

    ^ Well yes I agree there. I'd much rather the Vekomas be built in those two parks than the Raptors, which are going to be great little rides, but also really piss people off lol.

    California's Great America | Railblazer | RMC Raptor

    I'll give you Mack. But Vekoma isn't doing anything other companies like Intamin haven't been doing since 2000. They don't get extra points from me for finally getting a few coasters right. And they have yet to make a dent in the US. The fact that CF was basically forced to jump on the RMC...

    Skyline sell first Skywarp

    Wait...if they've just sold one so far, how can they have sold many to a park chain? ***confused***

    GhostRider revamp at Knott's Berry Farm

    Okay, sio maybe it's not excellent by today's standards, but it's still a good ride that I'm glad the park is preserving. I think Knott's should be commended for keeping this ride the way the Knotts family intended it, instead of trying (and probably failing) to modernize it. I still think...

    GhostRider revamp at Knott's Berry Farm

    Why would they need to make any changes to such an excellent layout? This was always meant to be a restoration (like Boulder Dash), not an RMC.

    SF Discovery Kingdom | The Joker | Roar RMC Conversion

    I've been on it three times today so far. Wow, what a great ride! The pacing, inversions and airtime are all on point. Highlights for me are the stall (the best of the ones I've experienced) and the very snappy pull out after the outward banked hill. Once again RMC delivers.

    SF Discovery Kingdom | The Joker | Roar RMC Conversion

    ^ No, but he does hide out in one (carnival). I think that station looks fantastic, and I love the clash of colors.

    SF Discovery Kingdom | The Joker | Roar RMC Conversion

    Well I know RMCs sometimes test with different wheels until they get the right ride. Still, there is no denying that is an impressive first run. Love the cheering at the end too.

    SF Discovery Kingdom | The Joker | Roar RMC Conversion

    For a first test run this thing is flying. So far this doesn't look quite as wild as Wicked Cyclone or Medusa, but I'll have to see a wider angle off ride to know for sure. That under flip thing looks amazing.

    What's next for RMC?

    Re: What's next for RMC? New Concept Coaster (page 4) I'm looking forward to RMC's take on a Maverick style coaster, which will likely be the cheaper product for a park that held off due to cost.

    What's next for RMC?

    Re: What's next for RMC? New Concept Coaster (page 4) Yeah, except some of the most quality coasters built in the last 5 years in the US have been RMC/SF conversions so... And as mentioned above, SF has the longer history with RMC AND is still willing to build firsts of it's kind rides. They...

    What's next for RMC?

    Re: What's next for RMC? New Concept Coaster (page 4) I'm guessing Six Flags will be the first to try out this new track.

    Intamin pre-fab didn't catch on

    The problem is, most parks either already have a couple of wooden coasters, or they're trying to get rid of them, not add them. Parks now a days are trying to add uniqueness to draw guests. And if we're talking wooden record breakers, Gravity Group and RMC can build bigger for cheaper, and in...

    Resistance to motion sickness on rides

    As the body ages, it gets more sensitive to coasters in general, made worse by the foods you eat and drink before riding. Avoid anything acidic like orange juice or coffee before riding. I've learned the hard way. lol
