Six Flags Fiesta Texas | "Iron Rattler" |Steel Hybrid

Re: Six Flags Fiesta Texas|"Iron Rattler"|Steel Hybrid

This looks a lot better than Outlaw Run. This actually looks really, really good. They could maybe cut out a couple of the banked turns - no needs for so many, especially when they're kinda pointless. But apart from that, it looks pretty awsome if you ask me.

Looks much better than the other steel-tracked wooden supported ride.
 
Re: Six Flags Fiesta Texas|"Iron Rattler"|Steel Hybrid

This coaster looks so awesome :--D :--D , I hope the "barrel roll" is for real.

Now there are 2 x reasons to visit Texas next season.
 
Re: Six Flags Fiesta Texas|"Iron Rattler"|Steel Hybrid

SDC, SFoT, SFFT, Schlitterbahn (possible), SWSA, Kemah, Galveston. aka Sex.
 
Re: Six Flags Fiesta Texas|"Iron Rattler"|Steel Hybrid

It would be smarter to leave SFFT and SWSA as the last stops. Go down to Galveston from SDC, then head on over. No clue where Schlitterbahn is
 
Re: Six Flags Fiesta Texas|"Iron Rattler"|Steel Hybrid

It's San Antonio area.

From SDC to Galveston is one hell of a drive, it's like 12 hours.

And hit SFoT, Kemah, then galveston and up into the last 3.

Worlds of Fun would be fun to do, start there then head south. Gotta think of money and time constraints.
 
The new layout looks fab - lots of great turns and still uses the canyon wall of SFFT very well.
 
Oh my! Can't wait! I was hearing conflicting results about the fate of Rattler. Some people were saying it was closed for good. Other's were saying a re-track. Glad they went with the former. Six Flags Fiesta Texas is about 2.5 hours from my house (I live in West Houston). So I'll surely make the effort to ride this on opening day. The layout looks insane!

Also, I noticed a Sky Screamer swing ride in the beginning of the video. Geez is Six Flags doing an Oprah style giveaway with those? "Everyone get's Sky Screamers!!!! You get a Sky Screamer! You get a Sky Screamer!"

Depends what type of coaster your after, airtime, tunnels, led lights & fog then hit the "Giant", if your after a killer drop, drop into a quarry wall & barrel roll then go on the "Rattler".

Both coasters are as good as each other, they offer different thrills & more than cutting edge designs.. :--D :--D
 
Would you get more excited if Intamin built a prefab woodie or if RMC converted or built a new hybrid like this?

I have been on 2 prefab woodies (Balder & Colossos) and they have killer airtime and are my top 2 woodies despite the slight roughness on Colossos. However, since the NTG opened I have been desperate to ride it and now with the addition of Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler I amazingly excited about these rides and what RMC has in store for us in the future. I really wish we could have on of these in Europe somewhere.


Plus, I know this has got nothing to do with this topic but check out out my trip report entitled Efteling, Walibi, Heide, Phantasia, Plopsa as now I have finished reviewing all the parks and I would love to know what you think. Thank you!
 
This looks amazing. I'm so glad they are injecting new life into these old, tired designs/coasters. Means they still maintain the essence of the original coaster, but pack more of a punch and still bring in guests!
 
I think this actually looks the best one of these coasters we've seen. I've always loved SF Fiesta Texas for the quarry walls and I love how they'll have another coaster taking advantage of it. I think some of those diving drops look awesome.

Can't wait to see this finished too! Thankfully we've got Outlaw Run to watch this season. :D
 
It's fantastic they made good use of the cliffs. The old one just made it look like the cliff was in the way of its layout.
