Holy cow what is going on with the positioning of those bents? Outward banked curve right after a 200 ft drop? Sounds killer
That's the best part of watching these bad riders being built--you can only guess at what kind of batsh*t crazy-fun elements these will be. And, yeah, something like that is child's play for an RMC, lol.
Edited to add new construction pictures that were posted to the
RMC Connoisseurs FB group today (didn't want to double-post, sorry; and yes, I'm a coaster nerd and belong to a bunch of groups lol). Pics are by group member
Ian Jordan Chaille and were taken today from the concert field after it opened at 8pm. (original post is
here though I believe you need to be a member to view it)**If there is a way to add these behind a collapsible link or something, please let me know!** Also, there are other images in this member's post that I'm not including here, because I can't be positive they weren't in an employee-only area, or VERY close. It seems like you can walk up to this area from the concert field, but I tried to be careful with the pics I chose anyway, just in case.
(Fun fact: RMC top-off/completion ceremonies usually feature the team lowering in and bolting down/connecting a piece of the final barrel roll element track, or some other, easily viewed inversion element, as opposed to the highest-point/lift-hill element seen in other coaster topping off ceremonies.
The famous barrel rolls are often the last element before the final brake run into the station, so these are especially symbolic for RMC. We are very far off from that ceremony, though.)
