Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

Disagree with the chain speed comment. You have Valrayvn, MF and TTD which all provide a good sense of height, Valrayvn especially with the slow turn and holding brake.
The best drops are the ones that fling you over imo, Toro's is taken at speed and Skyrush's cable lift propels you over, so I'd prefer something similar.

I guess, but I feel like MF's height isn't as appreciated as Fury's due to the very fast lift hill. Each to their own, I suppose.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the cable lifts on the RMCs I'm aware of aren't that fast, probably the same speed as any standard woodie, not the speed of the Intamin cable lifts, so you'll probably get your height appreciation.

Huh, well I didn't even know they had cables so... :p
 
As much as I hate Iron Rattler pause at the top, that would be ****ing bonkers in front row on this.

^I noticed that earlier, it now points at Millennium.

Does anybody have any screenshots from shortly before they moved it? My friend Ethan (who watches this like a hawk) said this morning that they only had two more pieces until it was topped off.
 
^ Boom.

Blah, wrong word, kept thinking on the Intamins :) The RMC Chain lifts are pretty slow though :rolleyes:

The first gen of RMC lifts were definitely slow - NTG and IR even slowing further at the top of their respective lift hills.

Looking at the animated POV, Steel Vegeance looks to take ~25 seconds to ascend the 205 ft. lift:
Compare that to Storm Chaser, which is ~15 seconds to ascend it's ~110 ft. lift hill - Steel Vengeance should clip along at a pretty quick rate up the lift hill (assuming the animation is correct):
 
I had a quick look at Wicked Cyclone, Twisted Colossus and Goliath chains and they were pretty slow, I hope it's like the animation, any extra speed over the top would be appreciated.

Flag is up and that hill looks GLORIOUS!!!
 
I always thought that iron workers on high rises were nuts. Now I'm thinking those guys are probably more insane . There is not really much room to stand up there.
