RMC's Alan Schilke interview at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2014

[@chazzstorie2981]

Look how much these RMC coasters have evolved since this interview

[@SaiyanHajime]

This guy really sounds like he cares about what he does. So refreshing and heartwarming!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I like how Alan said some of the general public will ride it and still not know what’s going on, even HE knows XD

[@Hieagandaus]

Alan Schilke is the Doc Brown of roller coasters!

[@dindog22]

that's a great analogy

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

Cool interview! So much to geek out about with coasters. Alan is obviously such a smart guy, and he also knows how to talk and package information so it's fun to listen to. :)

[@emo4elmo]

great interview with Alan :D can't wait to see what happens throughout the next 4 years with RMC

[@Meekimotosyoutubechannel]

Great job on Steel Vengeance!

[@CoasterChitChat]

Great job! I shared it on my site, facebook, twitter, and google+!

[@dindog22]

don't you just love this guy?

[@coasterguy]

WTF with that spinning frog hopper in the background around 12:00??? That's AWESOME

[@reddude333]

Glad to see Alan repping his new RMC hat :-D

[@PastTime777]

Great interview. He wants both the wood and steel track so he can be in both polls. I consider them all steel. Like he said, the top part of the track is the same. He's also involved in the Polar coaster in Orlando. Could have asked him if SF has an exclusive contract, locking out CP for a few years. Otherwise, Mean Streak would be a good choice. Alan, don't retire.

[@jefflong1799]

PastTime777 RMC def doing mean streak.

[@coasterguy]

But you didn't ask if he'd rather be an elephant or a cheetah. Oh, right. You actually have class and stuff. My bad.

[@coasterlvr]

awesome, awesome interview. thank you

[@micromoron3309]

what about intamin's new Zac spin 2 model? they are said to be able to have a launch or lift hill.

[@KingRCT3]

Great interview with an awesome guy. But I don't get the last bit about the ''skyloop''. What are you referring to?

[@Fahrenheit4051]

He was wondering whether S&S will ever expand the layout of their 4D free-spin laterally, like how Maurer Söhne built Abismo, an extended version of the SkyLoop coaster.

[@KingRCT3]

Farenheit4051 Ha ok I get it. Thanks for your reply!

[@haze_productions9715]

So, Colossus will only have one load station, and you will experience both sides on one ride?

[@TheMaverick987]

yes you will

[@luc6284]

Are you gonna review him for Steel Vengeance?

[@MondoCoasters]

The Master Thai dueling coaster at Mirabilandia does the same thing. You start at one station and then you experience both sides of the coaster in one run. I'm not sure if it was originally supposed to do that when it opened in 2011 but it's a good thing it does that.

[@Rctwarrior]

i really want to meet him, im his biggest fan ever, he got me into roller coasters even more when goliath open

[@CoasterNick3157]

thrillpro200 rct3 I meet Alan before at six flags great america

[@Fahrenheit4051]

1:36 - Basically a funny little jab at the Gravity Group.

[@ImagineerJoshTeamSGW]

Hey, are you guys gonna re-film all the Six Flags Great America and Six Flags St Louis coasters?

[@visionist7]

This guy is Rock & Roll

[@hypertube81]

Just so we're clear, Wild Mouse and Virginia Reel Roller coasters are the first true 4D coasters by definition. Just saying... Don't get me wrong though. Alan Schilke is a genius and true hero when it comes to coaster design.

[@olbillybobo]

at this point there should be a hybrid list

[@uprlvl]

@ 19:54 "For 2017, we're planning on 4 coasters that year"..... This interview was 2 years ago, so I'm sure Alan just confirmed it for us lol...RMCMeanStreak, RMCHurler, RMCTRex, and some other perhaps?! Just an observation ;-)

[@digggert]

what a great guy

[@twistedtime3331]

Alan Schilke is the Tesla of rollercoaster

[@CraparellaSmorrebrod]

Very informative interview, thanks!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I still want the NexGen 4D coaster (an actual 4D coaster too, one that travels on all four planes instead of just three [its not a 4D coaster!] and also has controlled rotations like the original, PLEASE ALAN!)

[@ToomanyFrancis]

the "high five" element should be renamed the "foreign relations" element.

[@AkanTerkenal]

14:46 "that's what this coaster feels like" *points thumb to a ride behind that had been demonstrating similar movements the whole time* Genius!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

[@AceAviations2]

So if RMC is slated to open that many new rides with only one (aside from TC and Wicked Cyclone) being Wildfire (which looks fantastic), then what are the other rides. Here's what i personally think will be the possible RMC Iron Horses. Mean Streak-Cedar Point Georgia Cyclone-Six Flags over Georgia (they already Topper Tracked it, and I'd love for that to happen) Predator-Darien Lake (if the rumored Lake Monster project is dead) One side of American Eagle-Six Flags Great America (I don't want this to happen) Zeus-Mount Crap/Olympus (this might redeem them in my eyes) Gwazi-Busch Gardens Tampa (possibly something like Twisted Colossus, my reasoning is that one side is closed right now, perfect opportunity for Allan to do his work) Boss-Six Flags St. Louis, though this may not happen according to Screamscape Bandit-Movie Park Germany (worst woodie in 2013) Grizzly-California's Great America Wild Beast-Canada's Wonderland Timber Wolf-World's of Fun Insert any rough woodie you've been on in here (minus historic). Possible RMC 'Woodies'; One at Silverwood One at Kennywood Dollywood? (rumored before FCE) That's just my two cents (or fifteen cents per the rides named), I could be wrong, but that's why it's a guess.

[@CoasterSquad305]

What about Twister II at Elitch Gardens

[@sharkheadism]

AceAviations2 I heard that they only put topper track on a few parts of the Georgia Cyclone--did they end up doing the whole thing?

[@AceAviations2]

sharkheadism They've only topper tracked some parts of it, but I suspect that since Ninja was transformed into Blue Hawk that Georgia Cyclone is on it's way out of SFoG to eradicate the park's last 'bad' coaster, so get your rides in this year and the next.. I've flipped my opinion on Wild Beast as I feel that it could make for a good GCI rehab candidate due to it's layout being taken from the Coney Island Wildcat for a reason.

[@AceAviations2]

coasters365 That falls under the 'Insert any rough woodie you've been on in here' group, there were too many to list so I just clumped the rest into one.

[@Coasterlocity]

AceAviations2 whoa, you totally called it for 2. Good job!

[@theripoffchicago]

What did he want to call the High Five ??

[@RollerCoasteraddict]

This Guy is a Roller Coaster Legend ... If it wasn't for him X2 Would not Exist or Twisted Colossus.

[@benswales4898]

Skip,to 8:40

[@Undefinedde]

Tell alenschilke how he did Trex

[@masac2256]

なんだ…ただの天才か…

[@retrochristmas7329]

Can you explain why you were over at the s&s booth "O I buy my cocaine from them"

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I wonder if Steve was even a thing when this video was filmed, he said "some openings in 2018" which implies there were already plans for stuff, but I just wonder

[@Undefinedde]

Twisted cyclone is .ca best roller coaster in the world

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

14:04 "and how does the spinning differentiate to the more well-known Zac spin?" "Theb the thé th.." it's so bad he can't even talk about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Meekimotosyoutubechannel]

Should've used topper track on Colossus. Butchered the ride time and it's classic layout. Kinda sad. If you're going to rip into a coaster like that, then start new, or use topper track and let it be. Steel Vengeance was the right move, but I wonder how toppered Colossus, or Mean Streak could of been. You should retop, then decide to take the full step ..

[@tbinc.9160]

unfortunately this did not age well.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Dang, Alan looks so old. :/ "Want it to race both sides" which it doesn't. thanks SFMM dispatch team. Was that fire really a publicity stunt? I thought it was funny that it happened, but if they did it on purpose its not as funny anymore. :s Well its not the original 4D which will always be my favorite, but i guess it still seems fun in and of itself, well done again Alan, I actually want to ride it now. :D

[@AkanTerkenal]

+0MindSwept0 He said it was a "free" publicity stunt though, so maybe just a nice example of optimism from someone with such a creative job

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Revi M Fadli i still think it would be funnier if it wasn't intentional.

[@flavortown5124]

You want longer wait times just so people can race?

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

King Hodor that doesn't even make any sense

[@flavortown5124]

To get both trains to race every time, you have to sacrifice operation efficiency.
