Firechaser Express @ Dollywood?

As much as I love RMC's work, I actually think I'd prefer the way El Toro is now compared to how RMC would refurbish it. I don't hear this talked about often but I really like how it's a pseudo-simulation of bull riding. Ejector after ejector after ejector then throwing you left and right and running in circles. I feel like RMC's design style wouldn't really capture that in the same way.

Of course, that's just my opinion, and I could be totally wrong! Maybe it will get an RMC, it'll be a masterpiece, and I'll be proven wrong lol

So keeping everything amazing about El Toro while making everything else just as great.

I wonder if they could do an RMC treatment that more closely follows the track path but also do improvements to the layout in the dead sections. Basically keep the first drop and hills, reprofile turn around to be more purposeful (airtime going into it or just do something completely different), make the return trip have solid airtime (maybe add a roll), etc.

North or South America ?

Haven't heard the theory of an RMC treatment yet. RMCing El Toro almost sounds bizzare, but I suppose it's possible!

They just about might as well RMC it.

El Toro's had two pretty recent accidents; the back car of a train derailed last year, and just a few days ago a good handful of people were sent to the hospital after experiencing an unnatural slam in the track. Those situations were pretty back to back. Is it just poor Six Flags upkeep, maybe? I'd think GP would start getting too frightened to ride it, but I doubt one of SFGADV's best coasters would be scrapped so quickly.

I spend a lot of time researching accidents like these, figuring out why they happened and how they can be prevented in the future. I'm curious to hear other user's thoughts, as the details for the recent incident are still up in the air.

RMC, but taking what was started with Zadra and IGwazi to the next level.

Looks really good.

I am looking for rmc brakes that open and close that arent just static. They used velocity magnetic brakes for most of the coasters they have built and I have seen other people with them just cant find them anywhere my self. If anyone knows where to find them please let me know!
