Wood is unsafe. Falling over is definitely not out of the picture, here.

inb4 this thing still has the old Rattler lean.

 

[Smithy]

inb4 this things falls over and this forum explodes

Fall over? I thought it was sinking into that big hole?

So, anyone with good eyes see whether they have a grab bar or something to grab on too?

 

[tomahawk]

They look like the same as NTG, so I would say yes.

 

[Snoo]

I have some feeling the back row is going to be legit.

 

[bmac]

I have a feeling that whole train is gonna be legit.

El Toro and T Express where built by Intamin, Aftershock was built by Vekoma.

Intamin went through with the designing of El Toro and T Express, RMC actually built them. Aftershock was moved, and RMC fixed up the ride along with constructing it.

The front seems needlessly high? Hope it doesn't block the view....

? Vekoma went to Idaho to fix Aftershock. Mostly to update the programming, because they never finalized it at 6FGAm, because 6FI hadn't payed for the coaster for about 3 years. They removed a whole bunch of unneeded sensor related trouble lights and e-stops. RMC did the construction, but not repairs. The coaster wasn't broken aside from programming issues. RMC didn't even paint the thing or fix the dents in the station roof from when prosthetic legs had hit it. (Awesome true story, by the way.)

As I've said before - do some basic research before posting something like this if you ever want to be taken seriously around here.

Can you really blame him for thinking Toro and T Express were built by Intamin? I mean It was pushed that it was an Intamin P&P and looks similar to Colossos. I'd still call them Intamin even if they were built by Jerry and Co builders for hire.

Same for the Gib.

It is true RMC was hired to solely construction other coaster manufacturer's roller coasters. It is also true that we associate the likes of El Toro and Aftershock with Intamin and Vekoma respectively.

The point of my post was to say RMC has been involved with dozens of coaster constructions already - all of which never fell over.

No. I don't blame him for thinking that but when someone posts something contrary to what he thinks, he might want to check to see if what they're posting is true - especially if it's coming from someone as knowledgeable as Matt (Hyde244). I try to check my facts before ever correcting anyone & I know a hell of a lot more about the industry than Connor (Jason Voorhees), who wants people to take him seriously instead of thinking of him as a spam bot.

 

[kimahri]

He's quite obviously not a spambot. He's post something that is, also quite obviously, a common misconception. He probably did some research and came across Wiki which say Intamin made the ride breifly mentions working with RCM, RCDB doesn't even mention them at all. True the frail look of RCM coaster was getting out of hand but was it really necessary to call out a kid like that? You're like 85, he's young and new, untie your old man tighty whiteys man cut him some slack
