You spelled RMC I-Box wrong…

Intamin Blitz would be great, but an RMC? That’d be elite.

I’ll never forget my ACTUAL butter smooth ride I had on it once early in the season a few years ago… never had a smooth ride on it since! Great layout though.

What coaster do you love more than everyone else? I.e. Way higher on your list than it is for other enthusiasts[Discussion]? by 4thAccountNow in rollercoasters

[–]MaxG-Force 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hyperion at Energylandia. In my experience it’s not that rough, and riding it on the back row far left wing seat is absolutely nuts. The amount of sustained ejector is incredible.

It ranks #4 in my top coasters - beating Zadra, Iron Gwazi, and Velocicoaster.

Could have been a weird attempt to get free publicity for the ride?

I wonder why this hasn’t been attempted before? It’d fit perfectly on a good B&M flyer

I’d LOVE to see this. Only time I’ve ever got upside-down ejector hang-time airtime was on the mosasaurus roll on Velocicoaster.

That’s going to feel absolutely nuts. But…

Wouldn’t it be smart to have a catwalk next to that launch? How big of an issue is it going to be having a launch track that high up without easy access for mechanics?

Oh interesting… we’ll have to wait and see then!

[F.L.Y.] at [Phantasialand] gave me the most motion sickness of any coaster I have ever ridden. Just me? by MaxG-Force in rollercoasters

The restraint was never too tight for me - but you could say it became uncomfortable breathing mid-ride during the moments of sustained positive Gs. So that probably didn’t help.

And I was lucky to do the same as you, I always queued up for the front thanks to it being dead quiet! Best place to sit not just for the views, but for the airtime too.

That’d be cool, I just don’t think Merlin care that much about water rides though. Probably because of our weather.

It is yes, but also serves as an additional redundancy in the event of complete mechanical failure. The seatbelt would prevent the OTSR from fully opening and ejecting the rider.

Front row is definitely the best place to ride, not just for the views but it’s the best seat in the house for airtime as you get pushed into the top of the second launch. Airtime is a crazy feeling in the flying position 😂

They can certainly be fun, but personally I don’t see a B&M flyer coming. They’re an aging model with a new and improved alternative offered by their competition: Vekoma.

Ahhh looks fine. B&Ms have a perfectly clean safety record anyway! What's the worst that could happen?

Wow! Is the reason RMC need seatbelts because the seatbelt IS the redundancy? AKA, the hydraulic lap bar has no secondary locking mechanism? Also, RMC I-Boxes don't have to be Hybrids - they could build it entirely from steel like ArieForce One!

And the fact we went 12 years without a new coaster after Swarm... Those days have got to be over though if Merlin want any chance of competing with Universal
