I believe I just saw the words 'beautiful' and 'SFMM' in the same TR. :omg:



I did enjoy the pictures though. I don't know what RC day is that everyone's talking about, but it sounds fun.

RC Day is an annual get-together this semi-famous YouTuber has at Magic Mountain. I wasn't a part of it, but was surprised to see that they were there the very same day as I. Check out the YouTube link to see last year's video.

I was wondering the same thing too! Surely they can't mean that CP! :shockr:

^^ Yeah.

The other day it was avoid inversions; now, it's balance trains.

Sad. Not that I'm bitching about the ride being neutered, but it's sad that the employees are told to run it that way - they're probably led to believe that that's totally normal operation for that type of ride.

:cry:

I guess they finally got the fact that CP does a better job at operating their coasters better than SFMM ;)

I was told by a park employee, who was handing out surveys, that the ride would be "like Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure". She mentioned that it would break a height record, and make use of Metro's old tunnel for a launch. I know I'm not the first guy to hear stuff like this from park employees who hand out surveys. I decided to push my luck and ask her if she knew the manufacturer. She didn't, but now we know it will be a launched coaster (rules out the giga possibility).


The last I had heard, that info pretty much fits the latest rumors to a T. Atleast the ones from Screamscape's sources atleast. They've been saying it would be a launched coaster from Premiere that would utilize the Metro tunnel and take the record for tallest inversion.

I guess that board is proof that even the Six Flags staff prefer Cedar Point!
