Kentucky Kingdom | Storm Chaser | RMC Conversion

[ECG]

Here are some more photos taken last week showing the progress that's being made:

Upstop Media posted a lot more on their Facebook page.

This has been such an under the radar RMC compared to the Six Flags and Kolmarden installations. In many ways, I love the notion of having a "sleeper" RMC - little publicity but still a great coaster.

Update from RMC's Instagram, and it looks fantastic:

Can't wait to ride this! I think those two straight airtime hills look great!

Irvine Ondrey Engineering, who is working on both Lightning Rod and Storm Chaser, posted this photo a few days back. Nice view!

Neat colors, they remind me of Fallout. Don't know if it'll go well with orange track though...

 

[Hyde]

Looks like a train you might find on a Scooby Doo Ghost Blasters ride.

The color scheme is ok - remember Lightning Run had some venturous train colors back in 2014. But hey, the coaster still rides well, right?

 

[peep]

Yeah their ride colours are... Adventurous. I think it looks more like a kids toy or a sweet wrapper, but like you say, it won't affect how it rides.

Oh and cheers for sorting the link Hyde, on my phone and couldn't remember what the tags were. Ironically now it's correct it doesn't show at all in Tapatalk

Eh, they look OK. Looks kind of childish with those super bright colors and they won't match the track. But whatever, it's an RMC so I'm sure it will be a great ride. So excited to potentially get on it this summer!

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Looks bland, but I guess it'll ride fantastically.

The train renders are gross.

Yeah ew. Too bold and bright. It kind of reminds me of Lightning Run's train colors but reversed (they do seem to be connecting their rides together though. First the whole storm themes and now the colors.)

 

[Lofty]

It reminds me of a children's colouring book, like "Colour the Coaster" or something.

Yeah, they do seem rather... tacky, don't they?

I'm trying to convince myself they'll look better once they're on the track, but I can't help but feel they won't. :lol:

Oh well, it's still going to ride amazingly. <3

Yeah, they do seem rather... tacky, don't they?

Very bog standard RCT style colours really aren't they?

 

[Jarrett]

I love the blue train...purple's my favorite color and I hate the purple train! XD Should still ride very nicely, though, I guess.

 

[Pink Cadillac]

Stop arguing over colours!

Why?

Because it's now testing!

Did you not see the speed it went over that first hill?! Prepare to get launched into the heavens!

 

[GuyWithAStick]

I swear I had pants on a second ago.

 

[Hixee]

That's gotta be sped up... surely? <3

At least we won't get the "looks so slow" comments!

Insane. I'm worried that might actually hurt. :lol:

 

[Jarrett]

That airtime hill, tho...

I love how harsh and mechanical this thing looks, and the pictures make it look huge! This might actually e the best of the I-Boxes, this or Irat.
