Attraction Iron Gwazi

[VonDerrick]

Why do I need to use a reply or quote feature when you're post is literally right above mine? That is stupid. So that people can see your same post twice in a row before reading mine?

the purpose of replying and quoting (which are the same exact features) is to reference or reply to posts that are further down the thread where a straight read through would become difficult to understand. However, reading one post right after the other, is basically understood as a naturally flowing conversation.

We have gotten well of topic. Tack it up as a misunderstanding and let's move on, more important things.

I’m gonna be honest here. I’m all for super nerdy in-depth conversations about what type of coaster is which, but there is literally less than ten seconds of concept art footage released to the public and everyone is just being so negative about this future coaster. This could potentially be one of the best RMC coasters ever or one of the best coasters ever and it seems like everyone is just arguing. There’s not enough information released at the moment to even try and have this debate in all honesty. Getting back on topic, this element underneath the lift structure looks pretty insane.

did you see coaster studios' video? he basically figured out half the layout

Looks like someone made an unofficial POV. Lots of them out there, but this one is pretty decent! Enjoy.

Looks like Gwazi will be 210ft.

That would make it taller than steel vengeance by 5 feet. I'm interested to see how long the drop is. I really wish it would be a little longer than that it go into the ground like Apollo does.

Get purple with envy... Track is starting to arrive.

 

[Logang]

I. AM. IN. LOVE.

 

[BGWnut]

That looks really good

 

[GrandpaD]

Sure looks great especially considering an "expert" said RMC only uses red track.

dippin dots guys never lie

Curious as to how unloyal the RMC conversion will be to Gwazi's original layout.

In simplest terms it's been looking to me like a cross between Goliath and Storm Chaser for quite a while, though the purple track came as a much welcome surprise.

 

[GrandpaD]

This aerial from 4/10 reminds me of "home remodelers" that leave one wall up, so they qualify as a remodel versus new construction. Not really a lot of the original still standing.

Ok so SEAS definitely got a bulk discount deal on purple paint this year... Steel Eel is going purple, Apollo's getting repainted, and now Gwazi is going to be the same shade of purple! Coincidence? I think not.

@GrandpaD, I have to agree! At what point does this cease being a conversion and is actually just a whole new ride. I guess they are going to be reusing the footers at least...

Don't forget Gwazi has sat for an incredibly long time in a harsh, humid climate with absolutely no upkeep. I imagine BGT and RMC want to play it as safe as possible and put up fresh wood / fresh steel instead of reusing potentially rotten wood.

Also I said before this was going to be a unique half and half RMC. Half conversion, half ground up, something that RMC hasn't done before especially on this scale.

 

[Shane]

I don't disagree @b.mac. I would hope though if they are going this far down to the footers that they would just use an all steel structure like Invadr though. They might as well at this point, and it would save them a hell of a lot of headache years down the line.

 

[GrandpaD]

It does appear, in the few pictures I've seen, that RMC takes it down to the bare minimums as seen with Untamed. That coaster will have 5 inversions, the most on an RMC conversion. It'll be interesting if Gwazi equals or surpasses.


Untamed construction Walibi.

The conversion of the former Robin Hood looks to be all wood.
