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

That is quite definitely two sets of ledgers. There's more to this layout than I originally thought...

Edit: Oops I spoke too soon. Looking again it just seems to be the extra supporting for the supports above.

All of this should be headed lowly overtop the station & brake run as well - will definitely give a nice rattle to the building!
 
Something we haven't seen are any clues for the 3rd lap, and they are starting to pop up. a lot more ride to plot out still!
 
So what are folks realistic expectations of this roller coaster? I know there are a few who feel that this must be the best steel roller coaster in the world in order to meet muster. Personally, I am happy as long as this is the best of the Dinn Corp. conversions to date
 
I'm expecting it to be the best coaster at the park. Definitely a top 3 from RMC, but I'm not expecting it to be as balls out as Lightning Rod.

I'm hoping it's smoother and actually exciting.

It'll probably be Top 5 in the park, but I don't know if it would end up being my favorite ride in the park. The first section with all the track placed down looks fantastic, but I have a feeling that it might drag out if it does end up doing multiple circuits around the structure. I think we're guaranteed to have a great coaster, but I don't want my expectations to get carried away .

I have high hopes. The layout looks great so far. It will be the highlight of 2018 for me.
 
With those tracks so close together coming out of the stall into the MCBR, I wonder if the third lap would carry enough speed to do an inversion up and OVER the two tracks down at that lowest point like Twisted Colossus? Anyone know the height of the original MCBR?

Mean Streak's brake run hasn't appeared to change height. I think we can all expect the train to sail through it in normal operation. Also, it's a sigh of relief to see the ride being so low to the ground post mid course brakes. That should make for a fairly swift run through the superstructure.
 
I'm just trying the think about the comparison we can make to the ride after the brake run. We already know the first part will be bigger and faster than anything we've seen, but the second half will only have the capability of what a 100 ft RMC can produce... so we should expect a Storm Chaser type of a 2nd half, theoretically?.. That might be hard to do with all of that length. Maybe it wont make a full 3rd lap, and it will remain close to the main structure to maximize what it can at lower speeds?
