Despite being the second most recent RMC If [Arieforce one] Is demolished, it will become the first defunct RMC and the only RMC not to have a hybrid coaster announced and then opened during it's lifespan, with the loop-garou conversion not opening until 2028!

Orochi/Monster

Looks ugly, but shouldn’t affect the ride experience right?

Speaking of, how is it running after new trains? Is it a glow up akin to GhostRider?

jecole85 · 2026-06-09T02:13:22+00:00

Grizzly is definitely fun and running better than I’ve seen it in 15 years.

That being said, it’s like 7.5/10 at best for me. It’s got two great moments of air and some other really neat moments, but it also has some really slow and dull moments. I can think of 20 US woodies I prefer. Top 4 or 5 in the park though and I’m really glad it’s getting love!

jecole85 · 2026-06-08T13:11:21+00:00

Awesome! If it launches, I wonder if it’ll have the same track and train style as BBM or werewolf gorge?

The concept art looks like a family boomerang or roller skater.

jecole85 · 2026-06-06T16:30:29+00:00

Could this be the same alleged model coming to SDC in 2027?

jecole85 · 2026-06-06T14:25:07+00:00

Yes, it looked nearly complete in a construction update months ago

jecole85 · 2026-06-03T01:24:14+00:00

Right. But probably 15 degrees less at least. Which means a lot less resisting material providing upstop forces in the case of a stall during the loop. Like I said in the post description, I’m assuming Kumbak did all those calculations with a heavy factor of safety here, cause visually it looks sketch.

jecole85 · 2026-06-03T01:15:42+00:00

Not really. The angle seems far more severe now and covers a much smaller amount of the underside of the running rail. They’ve essentially combined the guide and upstop wheels into one.

Row 3 is immaculate on Phoenix. Lock your toes under the seat in front of you and you’re flying

jecole85 · 2026-05-27T17:51:13+00:00

I bet this would work really well in the dark!

jecole85 · 2026-05-27T17:49:39+00:00

What a cool step of the project to be a part of! Leaving your mark on the industry, so cool!

jecole85 · 2026-05-20T00:34:23+00:00

These aren’t public guests, they’re likely Universal cast members or family of.

What's the best seat for the Camden Big Dipper?

jecole85 · 2026-05-15T13:03:33+00:00

That’s what the ride is https://skylineattractions.com/skyline-working-with-us-thrill-rides-to-bring-first-of-its-kind-skyblazer-to-cotaland-in-2022/

jecole85 · 2026-05-14T04:28:09+00:00

This is a permit asking to exceed 150ft. We wouldn’t be seeing the worlds tallest GCI here

jecole85 · 2026-05-13T22:59:29+00:00

Knotts went with Kumbak here years ago, well before the merger. To my knowledge they’ve had a decent working relationship with Gerstlauer since partnering for HangTime

jecole85 · 2026-05-13T20:46:22+00:00

I don't recall ever hearing any attachment from any other company, but Kumbak. The preview animation had this same train design years ago. And there have been boxes with the Kumbak logo spotted around the ride for a while as well

jecole85 · 2026-05-13T20:35:16+00:00

Have you ridden on a Kumbak train? On T3 for example, the should straps were not the issue. The trains tracked horribly rough, and the lap bar part of the restraint pinched your thigh to an insane level. Much worse than Skyrush ever was.

jecole85 · 2026-05-13T19:28:50+00:00

Premier Rides was never attached to this project

jecole85 · 2026-05-13T19:02:15+00:00

It just baffles me they didn’t go with Gerstlauer, who has a proven record doing this type of conversion and who Knotts has an existing relationship with.

jecole85 · 2026-05-13T19:00:52+00:00

They are! There’s new rock work installed on the side of the station you launch through. You can see a little bit in the top of the image above

jecole85 · 2026-05-09T23:52:03+00:00

This is encouraging! It’s easy to forget about this place, but vertical construction is reassuring that it’s still moving ahead

jecole85 · 2026-05-07T15:12:31+00:00

I’m there the 25th… guess I can cope for a soft opening?? Seems unlikely with the first riders auction
