I'm not gonna lie, I'm not feeling good about this one. Of all the conversions I think this one is a little premature. The section with topper track is great. It's like they gave up on purpose. #SixFlagsKilledCyclone lol.

Tentative this is an RMC conversion, would this me the most compact as it barely sits on 3 acres?

Hmm I dont know why I wasn't expecting this, it just didn't seem like it was going to happen, at least happen now. Looks like either RMC is going to have a busy 2018, or this one is going to do a Mean Streak and sit for a year, though I doubt that. Either way I am excited to have another RMC be fairly close to me! Lets hope this one is free of maintenance issues.

If it's RMC which I'm sure as they stated already they have 7 projects in the works, it think it will be the tightest of them all. Even tighter than Wicked Cyclone. This actually maybe their most challenging project.

Well it's about time SFOG got another coaster, even if it is a conversion. Reeeeeaallly curious to see how RMC works with this.

I've read speculation that Kennywood isn't going to happen for next year due to local planning issues. Have you heard anything about that?

It wouldn't surprise me if those last two spots are free spins. Six Flags seems to be rolling them out to all their parks. They did 1 in 2015, 1 in 2016, and 3 in 2017. I could see La Ronde, St. Louis, Mexico City, or SF America as potential destinations.

What's replacing it will be well worth it's weight if the renderings I've seen are right.

I know the permits haven't went thru yet but other than that I've heard nothing concrete. That project has been moved back so much tho that it's hard to tell.
