When I realize we are at least 15 months away from riding Mean Streak

Sorry for the shitpost, it just sucks that the most interesting coaster being built in the US is still so far away from us...

Rick and Morty fans thought they had it bad waiting for S3.

I've only been on Timberhawk, so it gets my vote. It's fun, smooth-ish, and has a bit of airtime. Not too remarkable otherwise. It's my 5th favorite NorthWest woodie.

Why spend any money on that coaster (unless it's demolition costs)? Sounds like a huge waste of money. Can't polish a turd.

Nope, definitely listen to Veckatimest! If you're hooked on Yellow House already, you'll probably immediately enjoy Veckatimest.

I love visualizing something so dense and complex! The parts where there's like 5 different vocal lines all singing differently is incredible!

Try to ride either of the two Mountain Coasters while you're there. Park City has one and Snowbird ski resort has the other!

Budget plays a huge part in determining length too. Also, some RMC's end with a lot of speed (IRat) and some end with barely any (WC). IRat is really short despite being the tallest IBox.

jecole85 · 2017-02-02T05:02:43+00:00

Not OP, but I have ridden every RMC but Wildfire and Lightning Rod (...closed)

jecole85 · 2017-02-02T04:54:26+00:00

I have also ridden 9 out of 11 and I disagree. The inversions are usually my least favorite parts on the rides. Medusa Steel would be 10/10 if it didn't have the inverting drop or the last heartline.

Joker's upward roll, and IRat's zero g are my favorites, but most of the time... ehhh.

100% lift hill. Due to no block brake at the base of the slope (that you need for LSM rollbacks), we can determine it'll be chain lift.

That's a ridiculous statement considering the only thing you know about this coaster's layout is contained in this picture here

I wanted to use the trends of the 7 first RMC IBox conversions to predict track length of RMC Mean Streak.

If the trends of a sample size of 7 can tell us anything, the new track length will be about 85% of the old. We should be looking at anywhere between 4500 ft to 4800 ft. Maybe bringing the lift to 200 ft+ can give it enough momentum to beat Twisted Colossus for the "World's Longest Hybrid" record?

CHART

Notes on the calculation:

I only used track length of a single side of Twisted Twins because SC follows the layout of only one side and obviously doesn't have a second lift (like TC).
I made a second average calculation of just six IBox (omitting Twisted Colossus) because the strange mobius layout cut off a lot of original track. 58% is a low number partly because TC doesn't have two separate station/brakes/prelift sections like Colossus' 8650 ft track length has.

If Lightning Rod can be insane without inversions, I'm sure this could too! Cedar Point hasn't installed a non-inverting coaster since TTD.

jecole85 · 2017-02-01T21:21:41+00:00

The size of this element basically confirms 200ft+ for the new first drop! It looks like there's about 20ft of fresh wood added to the old structure here. This element is HUGE!

No, it was posted by the park and reuploaded by somebody else. Here is the original facebook video. I posted the youtube link because facebook videos are crap.

jecole85 · 2017-01-31T22:29:39+00:00

I'd say this video essentially confirms a 2018 RMC

"Rest in Peace... For Now. 2018"

Also worth noting, for same projected opening dates, the difference in the amount of work done between Mean Streak and Hurler is astounding.

True, but they'll probably make it private once they find out their mistake.

Posted by Chance Rides youtube channel on January 9 as "ChanceAdventuredome1075ft" with description of "Adventuredome Family Twister - Mine Train Family Coaster".

It's unlisted so only those with a link can see it, but it's a public video. Here's a screeshot for when this eventually gets taken down.
