owtoty Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Same, but maybe the Skywarp won't be too bad of an addition if we end up getting it next year. Perhaps if it's put in the Old Country section it would do a good job at reviving that area of the park. That's true. I could end up riding it and enjoying it. But like others have said it's very similar to El Diablo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 That's true. I could end up riding it and enjoying it. But like others have said it's very similar to El Diablo. That's the main issue I as well as many others have with it, it's too much like El Diablo and we'd be much better off with a Zamperla Giant Discovery and a few flat ride additions instead.

harry2004 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) how about a mondial blender behind autobahn themed to cyborg and use autobahn as a queue area Edited August 27, 2017 by harry2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Off topic question, if an RMC that had inversions were to come to the park, would there have to be over the shoulder restraints due to NJ law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrus goes upside down and only has lap bars, so I doubt it. Then again, the RMC Raptors have OTSR's so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro1118 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 NJ state states that a roller coaster over 300 feet has to have over the shoulder restraints weather it goes upside down or not. With SF's financial restrictions, I highly doubt that will be an issue that ever arises in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 for 2018 i may want to see a mondial blender. if not: a skyline skywarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm gonna make my final prediction. I'm gonna place my money on a new HH wave pool, a Thunder Rapids Water Coaster Clone and a thrilling one of its kind flat near Autobahn. That new wave pool would benefit Hurricane Harbor. (Just my prediction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiller went flippy floppy and was converted to just lap bars, so I don't think its an issue. Now knowing that that is a NJ state rule about coaster over 300', I hope GA never builds one that tall.

SFGadv123 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hurricane Harbor needs to join the rest of the water parks around and get one of those trap door slides. Most water parks (at least the good ones) have those now. They were suppose to get them a few years ago but that was canceled and they got the joke of a ride King Kobra.

dougdrummer Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) this just shows how extreme Kingda Ka is, and certainly was when it was built several years ago! Who will build the first 500' coaster? If they build Skyscraper in Orlando, it will break several world records. With a structure exceeding 500 feet in height, it is expected to obtain the record for the world's tallest roller coaster. Currently, Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure stands at 456 feet. Skyscraper will have an inversion near the highest point of the ride, breaking GateKeeper's 170-foot record for the highest inversion in the world, set at Cedar Point in 2013. The ride will also have the steepest drop in the world at 123 degrees, exceeding the 121-degree drop record set in 2011 by Takabisha at Fuji-Q Highland.

Tower Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 At this point if the park were to recieve an RMC it'd be a Raptor or T-Rex model (for 2019 and 2020) as El Toro is listed as one of RMCs coasters on the RMC website already, plus El Toro easily trumps all RMCs and maybe even all wooden coasters in the world right now.

Easily better than all RMC's? I mean, that's subjective, but Wicked Cyclone is right there with El Toro as my favorite of 157 coasters. It wouldn't surprise me if one of the RMC's would surpass Toro on my list. RMC's have equally as incredible airtime plus a more diverse range of elements. Their products are absolutely top quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kaiser Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is true but RMCs have new ride technology backing them up, Toro doesn't. Maybe not "new" technology anymore, but it was new when installed, and still the only of its kind in the US. If anything, Toro uses the same concept that RMC now uses - pre-fabricated track.

Nitro1118 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is true but RMCs have new ride technology backing them up, Toro doesn't. El Toro had essentially the same technology as RMC's wooden coasters. It doesn't hurt El Toro's experience that it doesn't do some of the crazy things RMC's do. At the same time, it only helps that RMC's throw in such crazy elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) El Toro isn't an RMC ride. It is known El toro is an Intamin prefab coaster and that Intamin worked with RMC designers so not sure where one company started and the other began. I was always told RMC was just there to do the install. My question is, how come there haven't been any more prefabs installed after El Toro I also like the fact El Toro is the way it is... no flips. its nice to ride a coaster that makes you go wow and your feet never went over you head Edited August 29, 2017 by Mrpq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
