WICKED Cyclone - Six Flags New England 2015

[TTD03]

Ah, good catch Paradox, fixed, thanks!

It's too bad that this drop isn't even going to be half as good as the original Cyclone's drop. At least the ride itself looks like somewhat of an improvement from the original. I just wish they would have built an entirely new coaster in place of one of the three crap Vekomas instead so they could have 3 good coasters instead of 2.

^ I definitely think it was an improvement, way better than the original.

What was so cool about the original drop? (just curious, no way criticizing)

^It had the most intense pop of air in the back seat. With the PTC trains it was out of this world. Definitely the best drop I have ever ridden. It was kind of like the tug on Skyrush but better and more unexpected.

The drop on that ride had an odd kink in it that would never pass NL track shaping laws lol

^Skyrush also has a weird pump in the drop that gets MASSIVE airtime

^ Wonder which drop gives you such a feeling.

[TTD03]

I think the 2nd hill after the drop gave me the most airtime.

[Metazoanhaddock]

yeah, but the first hill after the drop was, well, broken is the best work i can use for it....the train would basically crawl through it and look like it might not make it....not to mention the structure would sway 1-2 feet in either direction as the train passed over

[TTD03]

^ Which ride meta? Skyrush or Cyclone?

[Metazoanhaddock]

cyclone, havent been to an east coast amusement park in a while...actually i think SFNE was my last one...

[TTD03]

I love how this is turning out, except for repainting the wood a different color. I understand the idea they're going for I just really like the orange track with the white wood

Smokey Blue supports right?

^yes

I want to ride nao.

An RMC finally comes to the East Coast, and then I live 4 hours from it. No fair . I hope I find an excuse to go up there, because this looks great!

I understand how you feel, I live over 8 hours away from SFNE - and the nearest park that could possibly get an RMC like this is over 3!

Pov

TPR is a little late to the party... I saw the video from someone else 2 days ago, and i posted it myself yesterday. When will SFMM release TC's pov and SFFT release BTTR's pov? Especially TC, it looks really interesting and Id like to see a real pov

That hill going into the second zero-g looks so trippy.

Besides Thunderbird, This is the project I'm most excited for next year.
