They've really outdone themselves this time!

Wait, they’re... RMCing an RMC? That’s confusing...

Wonder if it’ll count as a new cred?

If the rumor is true, yes. It's like Old Hulk vs New Hulk. New track, so it counts.

I don’t personally count New Hulk as a different credit, but each to their own!

If you zoom in on that picture, there is not track on the Wave Turn. Also there is land cleared along the top of the launch to out a crane or access the launch system.

Well I think the RMC is getting RMCed however it didn't last as long as Goliath, Outlaw Run and Wildfire it'll be interesting to see what happens to them in the long future!

There were pictures of Premier Rides there a few weeks ago so maybe we will have an RMC getting Premiered ...lol

According to this video they have spotted IBox track, but it has a lot of dislikes and comments have been disabled. So maybe they were wrong?
Anyone have any idea if this is IBox track or just a strange structure?

I'm going to say no - it's too short, and looks like a pair or tracks while I-box track comes as individual rails.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Yeah I saw that too, but realized it wasn't actually I-Box track so I didn't upload it to here. It's just simple straight I-beams, it's not I-Box track, and it does look different.

 

[jay37415]

There's so many red flags on that video it not worth mentioning them all.

No you're looking at a few of the fins on the launched lift hill having been removed potentially!

Actually the opposite. It appears that those are, for lack of a better term, welding blankets. Those are used to protect equipment or prevent fires when someone is welding or doing something to crate a spark. In this case, it looks like the blankets are there to protect the fins from work being performed on the tracks. This kinda intrigues me because if the rumors are true about LR getting Iron Horse, then why take the time to repair the wood track? Unless they are just doing preliminary work to the launch system to prevent it from getting damaged when the wood track is removed.

Also,it makes sense that the big crane we saw in earlier pictures was probably used to help remove all the trees on the hill side.

So will this technically make it a Hybrid Hybrid coaster?

Also, any news on if it's getting any new trains or launch, or is it just exclusively a partial re-track? What I don't understand is why haven't the other topper track woodies had the same problems, cause it isn't just on the launch where the issues are is it? Perhaps some kind of design flaw with the Topper track?
