RMC Streak Photo Update - May 7, 2017

It would be considered the tallest hybrid in the world, since it's using steel track but a wooden structure.

Made my first trip to the park on Tuesday. Took some pictures of the work being done from the railroad tracks. The RMC crew was working on positioning and installing track inside the structure for the third inversion.

Whatever is being done it is looking massive. This coaster is going to be insane!

Have there been any aerial photos of the construction taken? I'd love to see an over head shot of this beasts' progress.

Here is some info about the announcement event:

I am planning to be there.

Man I wish I could be there! AHHH Why am I out of paid time off lol

Are they removing some of the structure, placing the track that is running "inside" and then replacing the structure they removed or are they just "snaking" the track pieces into place

I am not sure how we could tell unless someone actually see's them removing parts of it.

clevelandcoaster, that looks like another nice airtime hill.

I'll be there for the announcement! Can't wait!!!

Just throwing this out but the people here on this forum are much nicer then the ones at on Carowinds page haha

They snake it in, which is why this project is taking long. Thats the reason they do all the bracing last so there's less in their way.Out and back coasters they can do a lot faster.

That makes sense.

Interesting point that I pondered in regards to future themeing and name of the new MS 2.0 coaster, especially thinking of the quote that Jason McClure stated in regards to loving the park's history. Think of the nod back to Prof. Delbert and also Crystal Rock Cafe just in the year 2017.

Anyhow.... there are a few on this forum that remember and/or have seen pics of two past attractions from the 1960's era of Cedar Point. One would be a Wells Fargo horse drawn stagecoach ride that used to be back in Frontiertown for the 1967/68 seasons. (A similar one is at Knotts BF currently). Also...there used to be bandits/outlaws that would attempt to "rob" the CP/LE trains back in the day. Passengers would be given and were assigned "sheriffs" badges to ward off the would be outlaws. Its known that alot of trains/ stagecoaches starting from 1870-1902 had attempted robberies from outlaws trying to steal money from them. I'm definitely thinking the new trains/ name/ or themeing might fit one of these two nods to CP's past. What about an added stagecoach ride to where Antique cars currently sits? Thoughts?

I;ve never seen these stagecoach rides......What are they?

You climb into a stagecoach and ride around in it.

So more of a family / kid ride. Witch I would expect if it replaces the cars.

Well that's pretty rude. You aren't forced to read his posts are you?
