Prince94 Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 This isn’t really an idea for the park since it’s now impossible but after seeing RMC transform rides like Mean Streak/Gwazi/TC into these insane new hybrid coasters and reading the reviews of how amazing these rides are, it makes me question why Six Flags never thought about giving Rolling Thunder the RMC treatment. The excuse for RT being removed in the first place was for Zumanjaro’s queue (which still seems like BS to me). There was so much potential for greatness with the length of track and space RT had. Was it out of the budget at the time? or maybe the structure couldn’t handle a refurbishment? What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 At its time of removal the structure barely supported the existing ride let alone an RMC transformation. It would have required a near total replacement to keep it running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince94 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Ahh makes sense. I guess that’s where the name Rotting Lumber came from. It’s sad that it wasn't maintained properly. Theres a lot of wooden coasters significantly older than RT that are still running. I just hope the park learned a lesson and gives El Toro the extra attention it deserves. Edited December 20, 2019 by Prince94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthewanderer Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 I think they should rebuild Rolling Thunder with Topper Track and lap bar-only trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
