[@jeroen3241]

they may call the inversion the: MOLE SNAKE ROLL

[@zClonky]

jerkermiz nope I think they're calling it a REVERSE COBRA ROLL

[@lucasippolito105]

jerkermiz YES THAT IS BRILLIANT!!

[@soundeupho]

RMC accidentally dropped the paper in the shredder and half of it was gone 😡😡😡 THANKS ALOT JOSH

[@zClonky]

Ruddy Nkuzu from kings dominion

[@mr.noride7226]

Josh from Kings Dominion ruined Full Throttle, Goliath at Great America, and Twisted Cyclone! Josh from Kings Dominion being Josh from Kings Dominion again.

[@CoasterChallYT]

Can't Josh From Kings Dominion just be happy with Twisted Timbers? 😂🤣

[@SomeRandomAccount5]

Rico Rodriguez Josh Disguised himself as RMC Because he was jealous because of Twisted Timbers Lol

[@thundermcking6969]

Just imagine though...riders waving at the midway below...SIDEWAYS. that wave turn is awesome

[@kiwikiwi2483]

Just went on it last night with my friends and that's what I did lol

[@ethanl886]

you know the drill and the screwdriver i think i nailed it! lol

[@Padsquad2010]

That first element Looks like a Twisted Horseshoe roll

[@CoasterStudios]

Padsquad2010 could be!

[@owlon225]

Padsquad2010 i thought the same!

[@RollyCoaster]

technically is

[@zClonky]

It's gonna be called a REVERSE COBRA ROLL. CMON CALL IT THE MOLE SNAKE LOOP

[@azaribuffington5819]

Padsquad2010 it is

[@cedarflags]

Man look at that ending. I didn't know Josh from Kings Dominion moved to RMC!!!

[@soundeupho]

Cedar Flags ayyy we had the same joke

[@iquit.8852]

Twisted Timbers, Twisted Colossus, Twisted Cyclone, jeez what's next Twisted Wildcat?

[@LucasBradley]

ThatCoasterGuy Yes, please. #RMCWildcatHershey

[@roijoffe]

ThatCoasterGuy ....Wicked Colossus...

[@BlaqMambaX]

roi joffe Wickedly Twisted Colossus.

[@theamericanbrandgamer1854]

Lucas Bradley Twisted as

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

I quit. WICKED TIMBERS!!

[@lilaballin]

Well to be honest I going to miss the old Cyclone. I was the ride operator at Cyclone this past season, but I'm excited for Twisted Cyclone. I was a bit surprised they cut the second half ride off, but I think it's a great edition to the park collection. Only bad thing is since it's in the front it will probably be a early ride which mean you will have to beat the crowd.

[@BlaqMambaX]

And I'm sure there will only be one train on the track because..... Six Flags.

[@lilaballin]

Hmmm probably not it will depend on the throughput on this ride. Georgia Cyclone throughput with one train was 600 and with 2 trains it was 1165. Plus its brand new too they will run 2 trains unless something was to happen to one of the trains, then this ride will be running 2 trains on opening day.

[@BlaqMambaX]

Alex Scott You know better than I do since you worked there recently. My experiences from years ago differed. They would intentionally run rides, such as Goliath, with one train to force people to buy that blame Q-bot (that's what it was called when I worked there). Once the line is 3 hours long, then they decide to add the other train and that takes a little time, making the wait that much longer.

[@lilaballin]

lol oh goodness yeah i was the lead at cyclone then i moved to monster mansion as a lead this season. I do remember this season when I was working at Goliath we did use one train because the other train wheels messed up.

[@sam_likes_airplanes]

I’ll beat the crowds by making a run for it when they start letting people in....

[@nerdsarecool]

calling it now. that ride is going to freaking haul through the circuit.

[@mikeyg9958]

Should've called it Harley Quinn Spinsanity

[@CoasterStudios]

dan man I woulda flipped the desk

[@zClonky]

Should've gotten a b&m

[@DTM8799]

Or the joker

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Coaster Studios Same. Plus I like how it’s not brown wood! It looks better with white wood.

[@shane9245]

Or better yet, Goliath

[@Sythe5665]

Thanks for the vid Taylor. I know you must be really busy with all of these announcements lol

[@jaredsheinberg]

I'm obsessed with the color scheme.

[@MoeRon004]

5:11 cough cough **Joker Discovery kingdom cough*

[@shadowprince4482]

I love super heroes but I hate it when they theme rollercoasters to them. Well, unless it's a dark ride then it's ok but I'd rather it be after a good non-super hero movie.

[@IronAnimations]

I was expecting them to add a 4th inversion on that last airtime hill

[@richey0995]

I don't think they were able to have any more elements because six flags is adding something to every single one of their parks that are rides and 3 of those have rmc so six flags is going really big and it cost a lot of money I have no complaints

[@OGMICHAEL]

RICHEY099 hey man you play ROBLOX I see?

[@RayDLX]

RMC's are not that expensive and they are literally adding 8 carny rides and a lazy river to 3/4 of the parks this year. Try again next time with your sympathy towards cheap flags

[@peppategga3428]

The world's biggest Pendulum is a carny ride? Lol, sure bud.

[@RayDLX]

Look up XXL, a pendulum fair ride that goes almost the same height and speed.

[@austinconger662]

RICHEY099 I

[@cuberoot2665]

That first pair of inversions is essentially a Twisted Horseshoe Roll, as found on Maverick and Blue Fire. It's really a cool element, and I hope we see more of it.

[@zacharyl4594]

Ride It Out! is at the end just like Twister that used to be at Universal Studios Florida.

[@jaystarr6571]

But what's in the shed though, Zachary?

[@b.b-notebrown]

I think this is going to be a great ride. Considering the small, compact footprint of GA Cyclone, I think RMC made great use of the space and shortened the ride enough to maintain speed and excitement. No complaints from me.

[@Padsquad2010]

I guess Twisted is RMC's favorite adjective - Twisted Colossus, Twisted Cyclone, Twisted Timbers

[@527dalto]

Padsquad2010 Now maybe Twisted Tiger

[@dooble7642]

I think this is getting hater on a little too much. I hope this will be an underrated RMC. I will agree it's short but it seems to be good for what it is. And hey it's still a new roller coaster for my home park so I'm not complaining.

[@AceAviations2]

Dooble it could have been a LOT better than this, honest the ride feels unfinished to me, the way it transitions into the brake run just feels super sloppy and forced, it's as if there was going to be more but for unknown reasons they decided against. Six Flags and RMC could have made a better ride than this, they could have kep the elements that they already ahve and expanded to feaure the third loop and the ride wouldn't get any hate at all

[@echubbi8611]

I'm guessing that Alan Schilke got tired after designing two huge and awesome RMC's, so he didn't really try on this one. Obviously, this could be more improved though. Not hating, just saying.

[@sharkboy8me938]

Dooble absolutely right it's still a new coaster wish six flags St. Louis would get one (my home park) last good ride was in 2008

[@dooble7642]

sharkboy8me six flags St Louis used to be my home park when I was younger. I do agree they need a good coaster. There isn't too much to go there for beside Mr.freeze and American thunder.

[@Henry-gb2ml]

That's how I felt about Joker. The underrated and the home park thing.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

Blue has always been my favorite color.

[@danielworleyyy]

I remember everyone giving this ride so much crap when it was announced (myself included). It actually turned out to be a very fun ride!

[@michaeljohnson4414]

They should make a new name for the element but not let Kentucky Kingdom name it. It’ll end up being the NEXT NEW ELEMENT!! THE TRICK TRACK TRIPLE UP ZERO AIRTIME COBRA ROLL!

[@BobbyT.]

I love these videos man. Keep them coming, I needs more!

[@skittles2colourful]

I've been waiting for this review!!!

[@BobbyT.]

It's an RMC! It's still going to be amazing. Sure it's short, but people really liked outlaw run and Goliath and those were short too.

[@lnboria3498]

I've been waiting all day for this video

[@coolcomedy4348]

I can't wait for this ride!

[@infinitecoasters8769]

I don't know why people complain about this ride

[@craigzorzy2105]

BrettD99 its awesome but it's also too short, most RMC's use the full layout of the old coaster, but this is a lot of potential down the drain :(

[@eliasmertens9313]

Lol. Did you just say most RMC's use the full layout? Storm Chaser used to have a complete second track, Iron Rattler used to have a huge helix, New Texas Giant used to have a turnaround section/helix above the lift hill, and Twisted Colossus used to be a double out and back woodie.

[@craigzorzy2105]

Elias Mertens okay, but they all have decent ride times. They may not use all, but they use most. Also the 2nd side of Storm Chaser dost count because they only made 1 RMC and they were originally 2 coasters.

[@eliasmertens9313]

Iron Rattler only uses 64.3% of its original track, Twisted Colossus only uses 57.7% of its original track, Twisted Cyclone will use 80.8% of its original track. This will have a decent ride time, too. It will be very comparable to the ride time of Outlaw Run or Goliath. This will still definitely be the best coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, that is if you prefer intensity. Goliath will be your favorite if you love floater airtime, Twisted Cyclone will be your favorite if you love intense, crazy rides. And I think this will have a very decent ride time. And I think people aren't giving this ride a chance.

[@craigzorzy2105]

Elias Mertens outlaw run and Goliath have pathetic ride times what are you talking about?

[@lionblaze0384]

I went to this park back towards the end of summer, and when I saw this ride was no longer open, I flipped. I thought it was closing for good, and this piece of history was totally lost. And then I heard a few weeks back it was being RMC'd. I almost cried. May this coaster live on!

[@iac17]

stil bether than the rmc that we have in italy ... ... couse we have non=(

[@rollingcoasters2311]

iac17 Divertical looks awesome!

[@iac17]

yea but the drop is meh!

[@iac17]

i love both katun and ispeed (2 days ago i ve been to mirabilandia for the 8th time) but i wish that they build at least a wooden coaster hear in italy or a rmc woody like goliath at sfgam (i tried it this summer and i loved it)

[@Ben-tg2uw]

RMC/Six Flags is calling the first element a "Reverse Cobra Roll"

[@cavanmeade1944]

The double inversion element after the first drop, I believe is called a horseshoe turn. Thanks for all the videos you all make!! They are awesome!

[@mattouimet4585]

OK WHO LET JOSH NEAR THE PAPER SHREDDER AGAIN

[@katdoodlebug7114]

I rode this four times in a row yesterday... it’s definitely the best coaster in the park now! I love it so much

[@inlinechris]

Goliath is still better IMO

[@momo_dance_4419]

Coaster studios you I love your channel and your videos

[@PastTime777]

This is a 55mph variety, in this case the speed is 50mph. It's only a double out and back. It will be at the bottom of my USA RMC list. Steel Vengeance will probably go to #1 once I ride it. Twisted Timbers will also be in the 55mph category. See list below. 02. New Texas Giant (SFoT) 04. Twisted Colossus (SFMM) 13. Goliath (SFGAm) 17. Iron Rattler (SFFT) 22. Outlaw Run (SDC) 26. Lightning Rod (DW) 35. Storm Chaser (KK)

[@kevinthompson6986]

why Consider LROD and Outlaw Run They are Not Hybrid's They are Semi wood coasters

[@themeparkcentral3059]

Looks great!!!

[@marposted]

This coaster looks fun!

[@soulsealsaul5553]

That first element should be called "-1 G Snake twisted roll" perfection

[@iholdtheawnsertolifesquest7832]

Why the hate? Another rmc is always a good thing

[@damocoaster8451]

True.

[@CHBeck0514]

Even an RMC that removes the final lap that was already there?

[@griffin3198]

I was watching one of your other videos then boom notification!

[@brycefourn2001]

Great analysis!

[@henrym6411]

Agreed!

[@ETHAN-qc3oe]

This RMC looks dope, I like the color scheme! Looks like it packs a lot in a pretty small ride, but the length and the angle of descent are provably where this ride struggles.

[@averagejoe6031]

I think those first two inversions and banked turn is a "twisted horseshoe roll" like on maverick

[@CoasterStudios]

Joseph st.germain yeah that might be it. Not sure, it's not specified what it's called.

[@angrybird16755]

its basically a twisted horseshoe roll with zero g rolls instead of corkscrews but yea it is a cool element

[@averagejoe6031]

Chris Tyler true

[@austinwilliams87]

More like a zero-g cobra roll

[@mr.noride7226]

I saw a video by Coaster Addict, he was at six flags over GA. When he was having a discussion with one of the head staff a the park. The guy said that the element with the two zero G rolls back to back was called a reverse cobra roll.

[@noirbebop]

Hype that this is in my home park.

[@eliasmertens9313]

I don't see why people are complaining about this ride. I mean the layout does seem a bit short, but Storm Chaser, Goliath, Outlaw Run, and Iron Rattler are all short and they are still phenomenal rides! I love everything about this coaster. And I absolutely LOVED Six Flags' announcements this year.

[@AceAviations2]

Elias Mertens the ride looks unfinished with a painfully forced twist into the brake run to complete the circut, need I say more?

[@eliasmertens9313]

I love the twisted ending. It reminds me of the ending of White Lightning/ Heidi: The Ride. Riders are going to get thrown around in that park and it will be great! I'm super excited for the first turnaround/inversions and that ending. The whole ride just looks like a load of fun!

[@owenbeute]

Taylor you inspired me to make my own coaster channel!

[@Thrills.of.America]

The Twist interns looks awesome

[@paulweiland1948]

Great analysis! I’m very excited this ride, I just feel that Six Flags could have done even more with this ride. Still should be great though and glad to finally have an RMC!

[@austinwilliams87]

The length is actually 2600 ft. There was a miscalculation if you haven’t heard.

[@backseatcoasters2074]

I am actually pretty excited about Twisted Cyclone.

[@frolord310]

I think that this coaster will join the bottom for RMCs but at the same time, RMC, great coasters no matter the ranking among the other hybrids. The Goliath RMC is at my home park so I get short RMCs are still fun but after that wave turn I wasn't that impressed with the elements.

[@keithmauldin885]

It would be nice if Goliath has a couple of inversions in it. For spring break, I wish they do something special like Goliath goes backwords.

[@aaronm3601]

2:24 it should be called "Corkscrew Cobra Trick Track Turn Roll"

[@Tribenix]

Six Flags: Let us beat our rights of using DC superhero rides to a pulp Me: I am fine with one or two but more that four and I think they are crazy. Six Flags: We are not crazy. We just want more guests for more money. Me: 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bb-8schannel333]

This looks pretty nice, my home RMC is twisted colossus which rocks

[@Christian-en6lk]

That roast at the end though

[@jeremiahtriplettjr7625]

"But it's better than giving it a superhero theme!" LOL

[@Russia1815]

Can we just talk about the trains for a sec? Is it just me or do the Trains look like the ones on Verbolten?

[@MyIphoneGaming]

Finally, a roller coaster at this park that isnt red, orange, or yellow

[@matthewkohlhepp8090]

This looks like a awesome rmc hybrid coaster but it could have more elements and airtime but the wave turn is really cool and the 0g role

[@DCfan-xm7fp]

im so happy that DC and six flags are great

[@DCfan-xm7fp]

how old is Taylor again?

[@DCfan-xm7fp]

Coaster Jaiden ok

[@Joypyf]

I'm definitely worried it's going to be one of the weaker RMC's...maybe that's because of the lack of ejector air that I look forward to from RMC's

[@dragonfire101g]

Great. Everybody is now complaining about this even though we're spoiled by this ride. Guys it's short but it's an RMC! An RMC! Stop whining and be thankful a smaller six flags park got something good

[@frosticular]

It's kind of interesting that they say "Twisted Cyclone, Ride It Out." It reminds me of Twister: Ride It Out at Universal a little bit.

[@TheyMightBeBricks]

Respect

[@Spooky_Psyche]

lol well this is pretty much all Six Flags has for 2018. Pretty sad. I'm more excited for Steel Vengeance than I am for the entire SF lineup for 2018.

[@xavierdomenico]

Cant wait for Kings dominion!!

[@Cat3465]

Even though this is the RMC ever built, it still packs in a lot. It’s a good candidate for a 1-2 punch against Goliath

[@rohangandhi2490]

I think this year is pretty good for coasters. I mean you have Steel vengeance, twisted timbers, twisted cyclone, railblazer and a ton of awesome flat rides. ( im most excited for Harley Quinn. Crazy coaster )

[@liamcarmody4217]

Taylor, will you be analyzing the whole announcement for 2018 since you already did separate videos for the two big coaster, being this and Golden Lasso?

[@porkypiggieboy]

Hey Coaster Studios, there's a big amount of space next to the Joker in Six Flags Great Adventure, can you tell us what your predictions are for what's going to be there? It's not that big, so it's possible that they're not going to put anything there at all. But that would be a total waste of land, so they're probably going to add a small, super villain themed ride, since it's right next to the Joker and the Harley Quinn Crazy Train. I think there's going to be a ride like Wicked Twister, a Zamperla Frisbee, a Skywarp, or a Vekoma Inverted Boomerang.

[@rcengineer]

That overbank is just like the one on the joker, but without the initial outward bank and mirrored

[@alextaylor8704]

Taylor it's called a twisted horseshoe roll there's one on Maverick

[@akinaki]

do you have any idea of new video or anything with the new length of track

[@gopherguts2183]

Goliath at great America has some intense airtime moments. After the first over-banked turn you go over a big airtime hill.

[@ccardenas477]

Wicked cyclone Twisted cyclone Bizzaro cyclone Storm cyclone Chaser cyclone Eraser cyclone Steel cyclone

[@themeparkjunkies8471]

I actually played this pov and the goliath pov (great america) and this coaster gets to the station 2 seconds before goliath. So in terms of length, you kinda know what to expect. At least its an RMC and 1 of the only 2 real coasters six flags has for 2018

[@TCSCskater]

The first two inversions remind me of Maverick's "Twisted Horseshoe roll" except I think on Maverick the one of the inversions rolls the opposite direction of the first?

[@utahcoasterenthusiasts]

I agree about the name. I was hoping they would reuse the Psyclone name again since its not used in Six Flags chain anymore.

[@DanielBlaney]

RMC's are cool but after riding El Toro again this Monday, I realized that Intamin prefabs are just so amazing. Shame theres on 4 of them and only 3 currently operating.

[@Stweambath]

Well maverick had a horse shoe inversion. Which is 1 corkscrew and then a 180* turn and then another corkscrew. So it can count as a horse shoe, still an interesting inversion. ( the horse shoe roll, is on 2 coasters now, maverick and blue fire. )

[@theaverageDon]

Its...nice. But definitely missed the ball some what especially with cutting out the second half of Cyclone. They could've done some cool stuff with the coaster weave in and out of itself. Oh well, still look forward to riding it

[@collinmoore7777]

Sfog is my home park

[@echubbi8611]

The blue track would have gone better with the white wood.

[@technoeggnog]

Did you forget about the leftover element names from Storm Chaser & Galeforce? That first inversion should be a bread roll.

[@arthanza112]

call it a "jelly roll",

[@AnimalzyNL]

Isnt that inversion called a horseshoe roll? Its similar to the one on maverick

[@1AceMoneyMaker]

"They should give this element a name" Horseshoe Roll. Like maverick

[@jaystarr6571]

The inversion is called: "The Twisted Demon Freak Out Roll."

[@CoasterScouts]

How about the horseshoe roll? That first turn around looks similar to the horseshoe element on Maverick.

[@joshhughes9628]

I swear I came up with that element first on roller coaster tycoon!

[@iorangestain103]

I think that double inversion one you thought could be a cobra roll is called a twisted horseshoe

[@seanspencer208]

Tbh I cant wait for a parody of this.

[@sam_likes_airplanes]

SCS 1919 it be pretty short

[@seanspencer208]

sam_likes_airplanes lmao

[@thegun1981]

The track is going to be 2600 ft long! Yeah!!! They just announced it today in a press event.

[@matheuscastello6554]

Looks really good, for for real can they just take like 5 mins and think of a decent name?! On another note, that Twisted Horseshoe Roll and that 90 degree stall all look really dope!

[@panzerofthelake7661]

The first 2 inversions are a horse shoe roll, like on Maverick!

[@crashcoaster3852]

The called those first 2 inversions a reverse cobra roll. ;D

[@shchorss]

Makes me wonder if RMC originally wanted to add GC's extra lap, but then realized that it would be over budget or would just not fit.
