It seems as if companies such as B&M, Intamin, Vekoma and S&S have been around forever, it's hard to imagine what the industry would look like without them. I've decided to go back and discover what individual coaster put these companies on the map and why they still have influence in today's...

Well, we haven’t heard from RMC about where will the first T-Rex coaster be located at. I’ll go over the Raptor and the T-Rex: *Raptor - It is a smaller single-rail track compared to the T-Rex track that doesn’t have to be a Hyper-Raptor or a Giga-Raptor. *T-Rex - It’s the original single-rail...

I believe that RMC are going downhill because of the new successes of Intamin and the ongoing redevelopment of other manufacturers. GCI will go down a new path with the introduction of the Titan Track and Vekoma are really starting to dominate the coaster scene over here in Europe. I think that...

So, I've checked for evidence (if you guys wanna check it out too) but Wildcat at Frontier City has no visible website anymore. Now, I'm taking this with a pinch of salt but there was also a video recorded by a member of Frontier City Thrills on Facebook that showed Wildcat, then flashed to an...

Hi guys. I just found this very interesting video on the present & future of Hopi Hari in Brazil that was uploaded in November 2019, and a particular point in the video caught my eye. At around 3:30 in the video, renderings of what look to be an RMC conversion of the park’s RCCA wooden coaster...

Hi guys. Ever since they built New Texas Giant in 2011, Rocky Mountain Construction have taken the coaster world by storm with their innovative creations. Whether it's by building the first launched wooden roller coaster in Lightning Rod in 2016 or by inventing the hyper-hybrid coaster in Steel...

so my brother sent me this and for some reason the website is down for me so i cant see. am i to believe him?

Hi guys. As many of you may know, Zadra, Rocky Mountain Construction's latest and greatest creation, is due to open on 15th August. It looks like a simply insane ride; packed with airtime and immense transitions as well as a very dominating presence. However, it is the company's first ever...

Only a few months until we can ride all that new RMC goodness (and the fastest triple launch Gerstlauer, lest we forget!) Saturday 8th September - Walibi Holland Sunday 9th September - Bobbejaanland So let's get planning! Who is coming? If we get some decent confirmed numbers we may be able...

Went to Japan last week, as my band were touring there. Managed to squeeze in a couple of theme park visits with @daviddoc - who happened to be on the other side of the world at the exact same time as me! This is one of the things I love about CF, you're never far from a fellow theme park nerd...

Hey everyone, from the splash pad that was removed last season to El Diablo’s sudden closure, I think it’s safe to say that Six Flags Great Adventure has something up their sleeves for 2020. I’ll make my guess at either an RMC Raptor clone, or that middleground (2 abreast, with supports designed...

Hey everyone on CoasterForce! I feel like hangtime is often overlooked by coaster fans and is just as fun as positive gs or ejector airtime for me. What do you think are some great coasters that focus on or have a couple memorable hangtime moments?

IMO intense rides are more unique experiences (i305, Kumba, any RMC) than restrained rides that aim to be more comfortable (most B&Ms, Cheetah Hunt). I understand family coasters are important to a parks lineup but they won’t be in my top 10. However, recently I’ve been reading a lot of...

Hi guys. Sorry for making my second discussion thread of the day, but I just had another RMC-related thought. Could a family RMC potentially be something we see in the future? Now, when I say family RMC, I don't mean like a little oval-shaped kiddie coaster or figure 8 spinner like some other...

Hi guys. I was just reading through the RMC Gwazi topic when I had a thought; no one seems to be building dual-tracked RMCs, even when the wooden coaster that preceded the IBox conversion was a duelling or racing coaster, if you get what I mean. Since RMC IBox conversions first came about in...

I applied to join a Facebook group the other day, which had a query for folks to join the group. (Rather draconian too, I might add) This series of questions had me revisit a question we've periodically asked over the last few years: while roller coaster conversions (aka RMC) breath new life...

Threw these together this evening. Interesting stuff!

Since I haven’t followed the comp threads in a while, I don’t know if this idea has already been tried or not. I was wondering how much enthusiasm there might be for a comp in which you download the file and get an already-built coaster, which would probably be a “first” itself. The story behind...

Havin a Nice in New York n tha' - Six Flags New England, Lake Compounce & Coney Island Just come back from spending 2 and a bit weeks in America. Fantastic time to say the least. It was quite a depressing place until you got to the beach. A nice facade to disguise the backdrop. The old...

There is a possibility that a new major ride will be coming to Thorpe Park in 2019. This is because I'm the current place where loggers leap is there is plenty enough room for a big rollercoaster. Also Loggers Leap has been closed for 2 years but no work has been going has been happening on it...
