Walibi Holland | Untamed | RMC Robin Hood Conversion

[VonRolland]

When RH was announced to be closing i immediately booked a trip to Walibi in the last week of opening, glad i did RH had some nice airtime but was a bit jolty. This will be the first RMC i will ride and first coaster i've followed the build on fully. Excited is an understatement

Don't let it build you up TOO high. The "holier then thou" feeling many people have towards RMCs doesn't help when they get disappointed. There are phenomenal RMCs but there are also ones that are just pretty good to average. Pray for goodness but go in blind so you don't overhype yourself.

Stored on the holy ground :emoji_clap:
Can‘t wait to see this monster rising. Not even an hour to travel for my first RMC.

Funny that probably only 1% will understand what you mean with "The holy ground"

No No, My excitement level is set at "What ever they do with it, it will be significantly better than RH" and quite a new experience, if it turns out to be great then even better. Winner Winner

Does anyone know if Untamed will be getting Gen 1 Or Gen 2 trains?

 

[MLDesigns]

Have heard nothing for either side. I'm just gonna assume Legacy Trains (Gen 1) for all RMCs unless the park says/unveils otherwise.

New Making Of video with English subtitles available.

In it they reveal the length will be 1085m and the speed 92km/h.
Also the first element out of the station into the lifthill will be a 45° outside banked turn.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Nice to know they are making the coaster around 164ft longer than it originally was.

I like it! Straight out with the crazy.

Buzzing for this.

Tempted to stay away from this thread so the layout is a complete surprise when I ride it around the opening date.... Who am I kidding.

It's already built:

 

[VonRolland]

With new videos being released monthly i cant wait till January. As this is my first RMC build is it correct that the lift takes the most amount of time to track and after that its relatively plain sailing? If so will be very interested to see what January holds, Will the drop be built by then who knows?
Will be very intrigued to see what the train design is like especially the front carriage, anyone any ideas?

 

[Antinos]

Yeah, Alan is completely off his rocker now. I expect not a single turn to be properly banked at this point

The pre-lift sections are just lame. They've all felt so uncomfortable to me. They should just do what Storm Chaser does - get on with it.

 

[Ethan]

^ Agreed. I like the creativity but I really don't think travelling at that angle at this speed will be comfortable anyway.

I like to think of them as Alan's little joke ; he knows he doesn't have to do anything there and there is nothing he can really do there given the station/lift hill positions inherited from the original ride, but he's just dropping in some silliness for the sake of it.

Agreed that they don't add anything to the ride, but I appreciate the "joke".

Tbf it's a great way to get to know someone if you're sitting next to a stranger.

It's specially designed for the teen boys (Walibi's demographic) . They can then sit to the right of their crush and have her squeezed against them.

This! (And all the wiggly bits they add in later on that are uncomfortable.)
