What about Outlaw Run?

Proof of concept.

Outlaw Run and Wild Fire which is planned for 2016 are considered wooden coasters.

Yeah, outlaw, Goliath, and the 2016 coaster are all topper track. They have that on SF and non-SF wooden coasters.

I wonder how much SF offered for exclusive.

As much as I like Boss, it's the only SF woody left that I wouldn't be upset about getting RMC'd.

Uh oh... "Colossus County Fair" is being retired & the area will be renamed "Back Alley". So will the homeless pot-smoking tree-hugging hippies roaming the zone be employees or actual park-goers? :crazy: Also... looks like the station for Twisted Colossus will be open-air until a plastic tarp can be draped over it. I'm sensing a pattern here.

There was a mention in a news article of an exclusive deal between Six Flags and RMC for the hybrid coaster. I would be curious to know how long that exclusive deal lasts.


Piqued my curiosity as well. Is it a timed exclusive? At least one mandatory project per year? The I-box has only been used for refurbishments of late so you know they're gonna run outta woodies worth the effort to save... eventually.

Not sure why Great Adventure tore down Rolling Thunder instead of going to RMC...


Knowing how the RMC remodeling usually shortens the height & length of the original ride perhaps there just wouldn't be enough left to work with? It certainly wouldn't have remained a racer that's for certain. And why'd they leave that section beneath El Toro untouched? Would've made a decent entrance plaza for Zumanjaro instead of that ridiculously lengthy queue that is there right now.

St. Louis has to be the most likely candidates left, right? The Boss, perhaps?


Most likely... along with Monstre at La Ronde that's for sure. After that... who knows whats left that the company is willing to alter. Wild One? Comet? Would they touch anything built from GCI?

Cedar Point wants to RMC Mean Streak.


Why not use the Plug 'n' Play? Wasn't there an interview where it was mentioned that the Plug 'n' Play could be used for rehabilitating aging woodies?

Wicked Cyclone track has begun being installed!

If this has been mentioned at some point on this overall forum then I do apologize. I just saw a rumor on the RMC Facebook page that Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ will be getting an Intamin giga called Jersey Giant in 2016 that was suppose to be for 2015. The stats I saw mentions 7065 feet long, 310 feet tall, 92mph. No clue if any of this is true but I just thought I would mention it. If it is true at least it is under 325 feet. Unless they change that to outdo our Fury.

That sounds ridiculous but I would certainly be pleased if it happened. They are due for a coaster I think. I've been hoping for RMC since they tore down Rolling Thunder.

Maybe they can build it in some weird undeveloped area and extend a path there to make the park's layout even more convoluted and terrible than it already is.

:(

Well at least we still have the height record and speed record. I'm okay with losing length. Good for Six Flags, finally investing in the giga business. Carowinds can still rule the southeast.

I'm just gonna go whistle in the corner cause I dont feel like digging up old threads where I hinted that Gadv was getting an Intamin Giga (and even mentioned how it got pushed back a year)...
