Walibi Holland | Untamed | RMC Robin Hood Conversion

It's a good shade. I wonder what the trains are going to look like.

I also wonder whether it will feature the ne-gen trains like SteVe and TT, or whether they will opt for the old train design like Twisted Cyclone.

Willing to bet they stay with the new style. It is an improvement on the older design IMO.

 

[Bert2theSpark]

Didn't RMC say Twisted Cyclone was the last use of the 'legacy' trains on a coaster?

I believe it was stated somewhere that the Gen 2 trains would be used on domestic jobs and Gen 1 on international ones.

Why would that be the case?

 

[Crazycoaster]

What's the difference between the two? Is it just the front bogies?

The restraints are slightly different, but the main difference is that the wheel bogies feature 2 sets of wheels, which results in a smoother ride.

 

[Lofty]

Jarett, can you source that?

I'm sure the actual article/post stated that all future coasters would feature the 2nd gen trains, as a blanket statement.

 

[Ethan]

If it's true, it does seem a little odd that they would provide inferior, obsolete equipment to clients just because they're not in the states? Hmm

 

[shawnoc]

It would be an odd way to do business, surly standardising train design would be more cost effective, even if it was to subbed out.

This will literally be the hybrid Valkyria:-

RMC crates have arrived on site.

Edit:
Also, shouldn't this thread be moved to rollercoaster construction instead of news & rumors?

 

[Snoo]

They took down Wildfire? NO WAY!

Preparatory work has begun.

And so, the thread gets the pin of approval.

Besides this being an RMC conversion, do we have any other stats? Will this feature inversions? How many airtime moments? I have a feeling that, if done right, this could be the sleeper hit in 2019. Europe has seen just one RMC, and it's just too far to be ridden by most (non Swedish) GP, so I think Robin Hood will take by surprise many Europeans...

I hope CdA don't take the Phantasialand approach and leave everyone with a ton of suspense.

It has been confirmed to have inversions, but we don't really know any other stats besides it will feature 1 unique element never seen before on an RMC.

 

[Ethan]

God I really hope this "unique element" is just a shed at the end.
