New Innovations From Rocky Mountain Construction - IAAPA Expo 2024

[@AFCompany]

Hershey has the RMC Hybrid Great Adventure has the single rail Please give Dorney the Wild Moose so that area is the trifecta.

Gerstlauer interview from the IAAPA Expo is coming very soon

[@billkeithchannel]

Waldameer needs some kind of family RMC. I like the dueling Raptor idea with one side for kids and the other for teens and adults.

[@MaedenDenne]

@@AFCompanyJersey Devil is awesome and Wildcat looks great too. I really like this idea!

[@oneandonlysound99]

The wild moose/mouse designs look like a lot of fun. Parks be crazy to jump on broken skyline stuff but not on this opportunity especially since many are looking to replace theirs as some have just really aged and well hard to find parts for the remsining arrow ones (and unlike Vper or tennesse tornado there not unique). Legoland NY should get one immediately, fun spot atlanta and/or Orlando as well!

[@macaronandcheese18113]

how have i never heard about that single rail in south korea?! i feel like literally nobody has even acknowledged it...

[@coastingalong]

i’m the opposite it’s the only thing i’ve been seeing in my feed for the past month 🤣

[@Relaxjit]

@@coastingalongsame here though I thought it was gonna be dueling cause of the name 🤣

[@MaedenDenne]

Holy crap this is awesome! Dueling Raptors hardcore rules, and some of those moments sound awesome! Especially the over-under moment. I love the wild moose and all the concern for comfort, convenience, and I love the WILD MOOSE. Amazing name, lmao.

[@ridewithace]

We can't wait to see it in person! Thanks for the comment!

[@LeviRowe-pb2ws]

So, this is like a wild mouse family RMC cool i like it

[@kitej1]

So not going to lie, I really wish the six flags company would get rid of the kid flash coasters and take a chance on these rmc moose coasters. They would be a better hit for the parks and I think the family would enjoy it a lot. Plus you can name kid flash 2.0 or something unique???? I think this really needs to happen. In fact put it at fiesta texas as a test park, we have two rmc’s already technically 3 but we love rmc rides and test it for a year and then bam see how it does and then order a whole bunch for the new six flags parks

[@HalianTheProtogen]

Name idea: _Teen Titans_

[@jamiebancroft706]

RMC is the GOAT

[@JustinCoasters]

I wish they could put those Wild Moose restraints on Single Rails

[@ClebyHerris]

Split… Rex. That sounds cool

[@ridewithace]

Hopefully we'll learn more about it soon!

[@coreywilkey2]

“I love that”

[@Never2old.]

Can't wait to head to Holland next year, lucky for me Walabi is only a couple of hours away from me We need a RMC in the UK, it's long overdue and a wild moose would fit in very nicely at a UK park, so far I have only ridden a couple and definitely need a more regular fix.

[@LNB_productions]

RMC Coastrider at knotts that wild mouse needs it

[@darkridearts]

I’m a big fan of new wild mouse styled designs

[@ridewithace]

We are too!

[@tayo0404]

PLEASE GIVE THE UK A RMC! PLEASE!

[@zfxpedals]

I want a Wild Moose at Darien Lake right next to Moose on the Loose

[@markvolpe2305]

According to the park map, it looks like they're reopening Grizzly Run.

[@zfxpedals]

@markvolpe2305 really? That was pretty overgrown last year, it would be good if they reopened it though

[@gstevens6948]

This dude is freakin next level…

[@AG7-MTM]

I'm still waiting for Canada's Wonderland & La Ronde Iron Horse conversions (Wilde Beast & Le Monstre)

[@benbreeck3363]

Won't happen with the trade war Trump is about to start with the world, starting with Canada and Mexico.

[@Da_knee7]

A long hyper split rex? Is that what he said?

[@nathanielthomas2502]

Ikr

[@myshroom87]

I also feel they could make a single rail version too of the wild moose-

[@CoasterNewb]

What is he referring to with, "Split Rex?"

[@THEREALJOJO-kl6gd]

They should do a space diver, with its elements combined with the old flashback at sfmm could be and would be awesome

[@djavatar68]

What happened to the new Wildcat that was being developed with Wieland Schwartzkopf and Premier?? Was it scrapped?

[@ridewithace]

I was wondering the same thing. As far as I know we have not heard anything yet, one way or the other

[@MarkJensen-e8d]

Here's to hoping Silverwood will sign up for a wild moose. Need to keep RMC busy in their home state.

[@Silacide]

I still feel like the Wild Moose would've been a way better concept when they used the single rail track for it instead, but with 2 seat rows. The I-box just looks quite messy when it's that compact...

[@BabyRattlesBraddduls]

First time I’m hearing about that single rail that’s going to open in 10 days !?!

[@lookitsdivadan]

Alton towers will be getting one of the RMC moose coasters for their indoor coaster in 2026

[@billcook4768]

Their retro fits are incredible, but I’ve never ridden one of their original rides. Can’t wait to check some of these out. And hopefully, the “big boys” will get off their ass and start trying to compete with RMC. It’s a great time to be a coaster enthusiast.

[@kai4824]

Efteling opens Baron1898 in 2015 year later Walibi Holland answers it with Gravity coaster, Efteling opens his blue and green duel powered coaster Max & Moritz, walibi will be answer it with her mew blue and green YoY coaster 8)

[@elidavidson5503]

Can you snap that flyer tho?

[@ssicari]

So we're RMCing kingda ka?

[@johnchambers8528]

I am glad to see RMC testing new coaster concepts. While I know a lot of coaster fans like what RMC has done with older wooden coasters I am not a fan and refuse to ride any of the reimagined coasters. They basically took really good wooden coasters and added elements we see on steel coasters: overbanked turns, inversions and other more wild features than the older wooden coasters coasters could not do.However to me a wood coasters best features are the usual drops,lateral turns and good air time on mid sized hills. Their best new concept is that duel coaster with one side giving a more conventional ride and the other side providing their more intense ride. The moose coaster that is similar to a Wild Mouse also looks good. I look forward to seeing these new concepts adopted in a park near me.

[@MattMcIrvin]

With most of the parks that have RMC'd old coasters, I can't really blame them for doing what they did, from the park's perspective. The best coaster I've ever ridden is Wicked Cyclone, their reworking of the old Riverside Cyclone at Six Flags New England. My understanding is that Cyclone was pretty much a lost cause--there had been repeated attempts to make it more rideable in its existing form (even by RMC) that hadn't succeeded. With the RMC rework they made it a stunning ride. That said, it's *not* the same coaster any more, and as a fellow wooden-coaster fan I do think it's worthwhile for parks to do what they can to keep them around. That's why the recent innovation that excites me the most is Gravity Group's precut wooden retrack--it seems to be reviving a lot of older, rougher woodies that might otherwise have gotten RMC'd or Titan Tracked, and actually keeping them as wood coasters while (purportedly) giving the track greater strength and longevity. That's what was used on Kings Dominion's Grizzly and Lake Compounce's Wildcat, and parks are starting to use it even to maintain coasters that were in decent shape to begin with, like The Voyage and Funtown's Excalibur. I figure this has the potential to give the wooden coaster decades of added life at a time when it had seemed like they were vanishing from the face of the earth. In a way it's a revival of the Intamin prefab idea that gave us El Toro.

[@kennethgustavison1812]

Which parks could use a hyper? HMMMMMMMMM, let me think. That would be great to be a coaster that other parks don't have - SFStL, SFFT, Knott's, KD.

[@nathanielthomas2502]

Split-Rex.......?? Sounds cool but what about the T-Rex

[@BARUtubbig]

Dumbest name so far for a coaster YoY 😂 Good to see them putting even more attention to the wild moose coaster, it's been announced for a while but no signs yet of one opening up. Would be fun to see

[@chelseafn104]

RMC…. Get rid of the leg restraints. Some people can’t ride your rides because of those restraints. They can’t get their legs to bend that far back.

[@carysage]

Isn't the Wild Moose the same new innovation they showed off last year?😂

[@eliasmertens9313]

They have an actual physical seat to show off for it now with a brand-new restraint design for RMC, plus they had the new flat ride concept, and did you not catch that at the end where he talked about a new track design specifically for hypers?

[@carysage]

@eliasmertens9313 😂, sorry I commented based on the thumbnail cause I thought it was funny.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

Can we get an RMC hyper in the UK please. That is all.

[@crooked-halo]

"We've always been known as a wood coaster company." I thought you've been known as a steel coaster company who built a few new wood coasters & converted other wood coasters to steel. Some of them were great wood coasters, now gone forever, which seems opposite of the ACE goal of coaster preservation. You also popularized the technically incorrect term "hybrid." You've built some of the most intense & popular steel coasters in the world & engineered things never thought possible. That innovation has meant quite a few maintenance challenges, though, for parks buying your cutting-edge products.

[@davefroman4700]

I don't trust this guy.

[@nathanielthomas2502]

Lmao...I can see why you said that

[@skywardguy9081]

How creepy is it that he is staring into the camera, like 90% of the time, instead of speaking to her. I could barely watch the video. Creepy!

[@ridewithace]

Interesting observation!
