Whats Next For RMC?

What do you think is next for RMC?

[@coasterjuice02]

They seem to think it's the TRex

[@JakeCoasters]

​@@coasterjuice02 Yeah they keep teasing it

Something in the fucking UK hopefully

[@samodonnell730]

tbh I really think RMC just needs to expand beyond the US more. Theres whole continents of woodies ripe for a redesign out there, not just in the US! You can count the number of RMCs outside the US on one hand 😅

[@JakeCoasters]

UK soon? 👀

[@Crankflame8]

Idk Alton towers have been hinting it

[@JakeCoasters]

Alton and Thorpe could definitely benefit. Even a family one at Chessington would be great

[@ehsbe1056]

@@JakeCoastersI think Thorpe park will get an RMC before 2030, they just need to sort out building regulations over on the island behind the swarm, it’s a huge amount of land but the ground is incredibly soft, I imagine they have been working on getting something out there for a while now. Imagine an rmc about the size of wildcats revenge on that plot of land. The skyline would be awesome

[@arturobianco848]

Yup lets see: Bandit moviepark germany coaster express Warner madrid Loup garrou walibi belgium And i would love if they refurbisch that woody at Terra mitica Magnus Collossus As for totally new ones France, the UK and Italy don't have an RMC hybred and they have parks that could afford them. Don't know any good woody over there that they could make over though.

[@Sonderax]

A single rail invert would be insane

Not sure if it's possible but in my head it works 🤣

​@@JakeCoasterslaunched coasters have too much down time. I love them, but they aren't reliable enough.

[@nerdtheorbit]

RMC said that they can and will put launches into all of their models, however it has to be on a steel structure.

[@JakeCoasters]

That's why I feel the T-Rex would be a good candidate

[@CHBeck0514]

No kne mentioned Airie Force One which has metal supports but looks like a wooden coaster. That's a HUGE potential audience for a different type of coaster!

[@thrillverse]

I'd say RMCs biggest competition at the moment is by far intamin. They're at the top of their game recently and are building coasters around the world not just in the states. Also intamins are more palatable for the general theme park goer. Velocicoaster is loved by enthusiasts and GP alike whereas alot of the GP ive spoke to who have ridden iron gwazi find it too intense and dont ride it more than once. The other manufacturer to watch is mack. They've been making a few smaller bit recently but I feel they're really kicking into gear this year and starting to really push the envelope (Hyperia I'm looking at you)

[@JakeCoasters]

All great points. I'm concerned about RMC's ability to settle down haha

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

I honestly prefer B&M to intamin ngl

[@Verdelite]

RMC invert would be absolutely diabolical (i need it)

[@JakeCoasters]

We all do!

[@brybryguy6314]

RMC is one of the best American coaster manufacturers since Arrow dynamics! Or it's the best American coaster manufacturer!

[@JakeCoasters]

Top tier!

[@terg8472]

no real competition but arrow, and so far rmc has been consistently perfect unlike arrow. everything has been good, if they can keep that record clean some people could put them as number one in the world

[@billchief397]

​@terg8472 yes no drachen fire mistakes!

[@TaylorSchlupp]

I would love it if they could give the retrack treatment to some rougher steel coasters like Corkscrew or Magnum.

[@JakeCoasters]

Interesting idea

[@calvinpetty343]

Wood structure is much easier to work with when profiling new elements. this is an interesting idea, but one I don’t see happening. (Magnum needs it)

[@namevone]

Walibi holland is supposed to be getting some sort of family raptor next year with a custom layout. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the next few years for RMC is going to be mostly custom Raptor layouts

[@JakeCoasters]

[@DawsonsMemes]

Ohhh your the guy from Twitter I didn’t know you had a YT

[@JakeCoasters]

Haha yes

[@arturobianco848]

I do know of a few Woody's here in europe that can certainly use some TLC from RMC. I don't se them doing that much with single rail unless they can get o "normale" seated train on it. i mean they are fun but after a few ride the position is hurting me. Besides it has some capacity issues. I do like a concept of an inverted one though (guess i will find out how they are next year). Probable their best bet is to also go into the more family oriented thrills you do need a solid sells product and there are only so many real coaster enthousiast. I think the new Vekoma's pretty much nailed it somewhat smaller not to intense coasters thst still are fun for the enthousiast to. They are excellent as a main atraction for a smaller park and as a second tier right after the elite coasters. Although if you ever done Lech coaster you know that they can also do a real thrill ride.

[@JakeCoasters]

They definitely need to expand into Europe more

[@leyoshivenere350]

Parks should keep building pure wooden coasters I mean why not, GCI and Gravity Group are awesome. For RMC I don't know, I'm afraid that Intamin can "steal" their ideas and do better stuff with it, and there's less and less woodens to retrack so they should definitely stay competitive with ibox built from 0 and raptors

[@JakeCoasters]

Wooden coasters should absolutely still be a part of the coaster world!

[@iliketrains3546]

But the awful ones should be RMCd. RMC shouldn’t stop converting until they have done basically all of the bad woodies out there

[@solo1014]

I think they need the t-rex and start diversifying their offerings. (I.e. invert, flying, wing, launch, etc.)

[@YeCurry0]

Great video!

[@JakeCoasters]

Appreciate it!

[@douglaspantz]

t-rex not taking off has been sad to me (best hope was qiddiya and they didn’t bite)

[@JakeCoasters]

Same, I was really hoping we'd have one by now

[@harlandeke]

We need for more parks that don't have a RMC conversion to build RMC ground ups...they can be either intense or more family oriented...there are still a ton of parks that do not have an RMC.

[@vapoet]

I can see them still having a market in retracking, especially given some of the absolute garbage many 6 Flags Parks have. After the merger, if it goes through, those regional parks will need a fun draw. And wouldn;t it be interesting for them to retrack a Cedar Fair dog like Anaconda at Kings Dominion. Point to any Arrow coaster and you have the potential for inexpensive reimagining.

Inverted raptors

[@JakeCoasters]

That's my thought

[@techpappee]

RMC needs to do to the other manufacturers what they have and are doing to RMC. Intamins single rail (copy) for instance. It's not an actual 'single' rail but two with a spin covered by a plastic material that they market as a single rail. They've all from Woodie to Steel copied RMCs signature elements, outwards banked turn, their hang-time stalls etc etc. Honestly unless they have a new concept I could see them being irrelevant in the next decade or so. You can get their niche through other manufacturers now. Time to do the same in return IMO.

[@JakeCoasters]

Me too, I'm a little concerned about the next decade, they need to pivot a bit

[@oFyree]

Solid video

[@JakeCoasters]

thanks

[@askjeevescosby2928]

If the latest 2 raptors end up being mechanical problems like the rest of them rmc will discontinue the single rail. The lack of support causes the track to warp which makes it rough. I don't think any park will invest in a single rail gigs because they are not proven to be reliable.

[@JakeCoasters]

Oof that would suck

[@GerryRR]

Funny thing is, the lack of supports was supposed to be a selling point. Single rail was supposed to be better at handling load over a span so you were supposed to need fewer supports. Fewer supports means a cheaper ride. Apparently not.

[@joshuaeoff4402]

They need to Rmc The Boss at Six Flags St.louis

I wish that parks would buy the t-rex but I guess that they are too expensive.

[@JakeCoasters]

They're in a weird middle ground, like at a certain point a park would just opt for a B&M or even Intamin Mega Coaster

[@coasterkramer]

Swing launch single rail

[@JakeCoasters]

🤯🤯

[@askjeevescosby2928]

They need to modify their single rail track to re design current steel coasters. Think what rmc could do with a layout like viper at magic mountain, desperado at Buffalo bills, big apple coaster in Vegas, anaconda at kings dominion. The single rail woild work perrfect.

[@JakeCoasters]

Interesting idea, I could see it

[@Gliese710_]

It’d be a lot more complicated because of how hard it’d be to reuse supports. It’d basically be tearing down an old ride and building a new one

[@askjeevescosby2928]

@Gliese710_ they did it with steel phantom. All the arrow coasters use supports that are scaffolding.

[@Gliese710_]

@@askjeevescosby2928 rmc didn’t do that, and that kept most of the same elements. It’d be hard to build a 0-g stall where a vertical loop used to be, and it’d be hard to make the elements taller or shorter

[@askjeevescosby2928]

@Gliese710_ the company that would actually be the best for it would be chance rides since they use arrow track. They would be able to remodel any arrow or vekoma looper into a airtime machine. They could keep the lift hill, trains, brake runs, and modify the supports when needed.

[@thisisjustanchannel]

I think something in da United of kingdoms
