Hakugei Review Nagashima Spa Land New for 2019 RMC Hybrid

A full in depth look at the exciting new coaster that just debuted in Japan this past year. I had an opportunity to ride it 8 times while at Nagashima Spa Land, so I'm here to talk about the ride experience and give tips for riding should you go out to experience it!

this is definitely the most visually appealing of all the RMCs.

[@chiefbeef6251]

I think Lightning Rod, Outlaw Run, and Wildfire look a lot cooler, all of them being on the mountainside. But any RMC is visually stunning.

[@patrickrichardson9183]

Chief Beef no not lrod or outlaw. their color scheme is too dark and it doesn’t look appealing

[@endlessdrive8421]

Railblazer is gonna be an INTENSE experience let me tell you ;) - you're gonna love it.

[@motorwayt-s628]

I love Wicked cyclone, its compact and it has pretty rapid fire elements and really short transitions, I’d also ride it in the back too

[@VestedUTuber]

You're probably going to be disappointed by Joker, but only because it doesn't live up to the other RMCs. It's not a bad ride on its own by any means, it's just the "weakest" ride from a company that has never made a bad ride so far.

[@ecervantesramirez]

@@VestedUTuber why does EVERY SINGLE PERSON HATE THAT RIDE UGH

[@VestedUTuber]

@@ecervantesramirez It's a matter of expectations. People go on expecting another mind-blowing centerpiece ride when it's really just a _VERY_ solid secondary. And then they hate it, not because the ride was legitimately bad but because it didn't meet their very high expectations. And the reason why people have those high expectations is because most of what RMC makes is top-end centerpiece rides.

That’s is why guys, don’t judge a ride base on pov Edit: awesome review Taylor, my last visit to Japan was 2015 and Hakugei was still White Cyclone, thus Eejanaika was my favorite ride I did in Japan. I’m super hyped to go back one day to do Hakugei!

[@slitherdown8556]

[@rcky6506]

[@bbolin5626]

I got an idea for a West Coast Racers parody. From the chain that focuses more on quantity than quality, comes a new for summer 2019 coaster that you can’t ride in summer 2019. West Coast Racers. You were sad when Batman and Robin The Chiller was defeated, now watch as the same manufacturer makes another dulling ride in the same park as Twisted Colossus, which you guessed it is that but an RMC. Which leaves the question, out of all the Six Flags parks, why Magic Mountain? And you know it’s bad when a 2020 coaster that was partially struck down opened up before this. What happened? (Cuts to a parody scene of RMC distracting Premier Rides so that Zadra opens up first.)

[@patrickstrahm05]

Get Takoda! Cue the narration

[@revimfadli4666]

To dawg, I heard you like dueling coasters, so I give you a dueling coaster, in a park with a dueling coaster. So you can duel a dueling coaster while another coaster's dueling

[@TheAfroKidz]

something about white supports and blue track is just so aesthetically pleasing

[@richardmorris7063]

I'm a big fan of old Woodies & back row airtime. this has the look of a Woody & looks action packed. i live in Tampa & the old gwazi is getting a rebuild. 206 ft. at91 degrees. can't wait but this is a beauty.

[@spittinvenom9843]

Bucket list for me. Great video. Looks like a beauty.

[@oyolajm]

As a Ride Technician I can think that when the coaster seat on the watch dog on the lift can be on porpuse and the chain will not suffer cause all this days lift are VFD controlled, so the power that goes to the motor ramps up slowly, until goes to the maximum set. So I know it looks weird, but not crazy at all.

[@richey0995]

I can’t wait for the eejanaika review

[@mr.noride7226]

When I went to Cedar Point for my first time in June, I got to ride Steel Vengeance in the back row while it was pouring. The rain hurt, but it was an awesome ride overall. I think the rain made it more memorable tbh so even though it felt like getting shot with an air soft BB gun, when we got off we were drenched and it was a crazy experience. Never will forget that last ride of my Cedar Point trip with back row ride on Steel Vengeance in the rain.

There's another new RMC (hybrid) in the world since 2019. Its Untamed in Walibi, the Netherlands. It replaced the former wooden coaster Robin Hood and has its layout still a bit going.

[@spentron1]

7:30 crossed arms hold on technique, been using it on Twisted Timbers when it gets too much (e.g. the trick track segment) since before they removed the handhold thingies. It is the best way.

[@lilaballin]

I agree with you on that note with the lift chain it’s going to cause a lot of stress on train. I operated on tons of coasters and that’s never happened to me when I operated them.

[@michaelonskis]

Hey Taylor, just curious. Have you ever ridden a zero g stall that you thought was “too long”? My home park is Magic Mountain and my favorite element in the park is the green side stall on Twisted Colossus and I love it.

[@sdaniel9129]

Looks like great RMC ride!! You might want to ride Untamed at Walibi Holland Taylor! Shawn rated it above Wildfire, which makes it his number 3 rollercoaster, just below Shambala and Steel Vengeance...

[@Coaster_Crazy]

This thing is beautiful

[@UpstopThrills]

I love when wooden supports are painted white

[@rixrobin]

Its ride looks like a much larger (and better) version of twisted cyclone with its prelift hills, wave turn, and color scheme.

[@legoboy12336]

Rmc Gwazi will be taller than Sheikra. It's amazing I only live 30 minutes from my home park. This coaster looks similar to how Gwazi used to look but a less intense drop compared to this coaster. I hope to ride it sometime. The only RMC I've ever done is Steel Vengeance

[@crooked-halo]

Iron Rattler has two outer banked turns, one facing inside the spiral, them immediately banking the opposite direction for the second. My favorite part of the ride.

[@R7SkIlZ]

So your favorite part of the rmc with the best first drop in the world a dive off a cliff into a cave a roll that goes onto a quarry is the 2 banked turns that give eh lateral hangtime.

[@crooked-halo]

@@R7SkIlZ Those two hills are not the most intense part of Iron Rattler, but I really, really like them. This was my first RMC and it blows me away every time I ride. Nothing on this coaster is bad. I've never experienced anything like those two hills, they're exceptionally fun. Regarding first drops on RMCs, Iron Rattlers is very, very good, but I prefer Storm Chasers first drop if only for how unique it is, a corkscrew drop.

[@vinnycamarata4907]

I hold on to that restraint like it.

[@elevensecgssr]

Free lockers! Awesome!

[@JohnDoe-zq1ho]

Actually, the chain isn’t being stressed. The anti rollback is taking all the stress. Like you said, you hit the anti-rollback, THEN the chain starts and grabs you. I’d wager that it may even be less stress than coasters that rollback directly into already moving chain.

[@justinjosephsumalabe7013]

In my opinion this is the best RMC even better than Steel Vengeance by a little bit because when I rode it, it was insanely fast.
