They should have let GCI do this one and have RMC do Lightning Racer

One does worry, knowing Gerstlauer, that it’ll rattle like crazy after a few years

I didn’t think the layout of the one in France could be bested, but this just might do it

Went to Hersheypark recently, 2nd to last day before Wildcat closed. The park was absolutely packed! I’ll provide notes on a few creds here: Wildcat: I’ll be honest, I will miss this ride. Always had a soft spot for it. Obviously, an RMC renovation will likely be far superior to the old woodie...

The county is worried about the storm draining… yet made them add a parking lot. Hmmmm

What about this; the amazing looking (and uncreatively named) Wood Coaster at Knight Valley in China… with the second best coaster being seemingly no coaster at all? https://rcdb.com/9039.htm

An inversion with no hangtime or whip may as well just be a turn. I wanna feel the fact I’m upside down. Or at LEAST get cranked around while going through the element’s transition

Based on the concept art, the station seems to be curved. Surely that’s not what they’re going with? It seems outdated, those sorts of stations

Arguably, the shaping here vs. the shaping on most RMCs is actually smoother than the RMCs

The “stall loop” is such an awesome, yet sorta obvious idea I’m surprised it has taken this long to do. You’d think a loop/dive loop/immelman etc with an elongated upside down section would have been done before the stall itself

They’ve waited so long to open this, the hype is totally dead. Kinda a shame

I’d put money on yes, it will Untamed is the real rival here, no?

Not sure how long it was like this, but I remember last time I rode El Toro the brakes engaged and disengaged crazy loud. That and SV’s anti-rollback on the lift are the single loudest noises I’ve heard

This could be the sleeper contender for ride of the year. I realize it’s against stiff competition, but maaaaannnn

Slightly faster indeed. Love to see it! Hopefully operating speed is roughly what’s shown in this video. Should have plenty of oomph if so

This is obviously anti-B&M bias, but I also cannot think of another actual reason: it’s because they’re kinda lame and would rather play it safe than do anything truly cool

“The ride still has lots of speed when it ends” is NOT the winning argument you thought it was

In MY mind, key word here : )

This ride has rendered Disney completely pointless in my mind

The finale (everything after the stall) is unimpressive, but otherwise I think the layout will pack plenty of punch. The whippy transitions into the death roll and the outerbank over the station will probably be the best moments.
