No wonder I like them so much.

Terp--part of the target market.

Yesterday while I was outside of the fence the site leader from RMC came out and gave us stickers and talked about the industry. That really made my day!

Wow, that is really cool!

That's pretty awesome! Did you happen to catch his name?

Great pictures, too!

Nope but it was a women. It's always great to see more females in the industry!

I just saw the video, that thing flies up that airtime hill and through the next curve!

That first airtime hill looks insane! I like the trains a lot better running through the course than I did when I first saw them.

That last photo that Vortex lover has from RMC, looks an awful lot like Deliriums 2003 Logo.

The site manager said that the announcement video that KK used for Storm Chaser was what RMC sent them for a idea what it would look like. She said she was shocked when the park used it for advertising.

Hahaha that's funny XD

Here's the video of the first test run for those of you who were unable to view it or hadn't yet gotten the chance:

 

Wow. This will surprise everyone. This looks like a great RMC!

Whoa.. with the higher resolution that train is mighty slow at the end... but.. it was so fast at the beginning hah

I doubt it is that slow when it's open to the public, keep in mind this was an empty train, and if it was supposedly the first test run as the video says, the track was cold. Lightning Run's PLC came with a menu to monitor time that cycles took and after a few runs and getting loaded up, that number dropped by several seconds. I don't think it will fly around that corner but it won't be quite a crawl either.

"Upside down"    Lol

I understand that it will run faster later, but I mentioned it because of quickly it already flies over the first half of the ride. Since the chain speed will be the most significant source of speed increase pre-loaded train.

Also it seems like the footage is faster then real life do to the voice at the end.

WOW, Storm Chaser looks like so much fun! I'd love to make it my first RMC. Hoping the park will last to 2017 and well beyond.

That ride looks fun, it has since the video came out at the announcement, however that ride and its cars look really, really ugly to me.  Perhaps the 1st hand visual would alter that opinion of mine, just how actually riding a ride can alter one's opinion from what they thought having watched a POV.

 

Then there is the station, I can't fathom any scenario where I would appreciate that amount of red pain.  I once read a factoid that Barns and "little old school houses" were always painted red (hence the terms Red Barn and Little Old Red School house) because Red paint was the cheapest paint available.  I would think the painting industry has changed significantly in the last 100 years and that there would no longer be a vast difference b/w Red paint, and oh I don't know about 50+ different possible accent colors.  Blue, White, Black or Grey would have all worked well to alter that monotone paint job.

At least our supports arent red too again

They must have gotten a deal on red when they repainted T3.

Now testing with riders!!

Lovin' the video; thanks for posting! I know Storm Chaser is all steel, but my brain somehow thinks it's wooden and relates it to Son of Beast! SC might just be my first RMC!

Lightning Rod will be my first RMC, followed by Storm Chaser!

As long as I don't have to add a second trip to Dollywood... I'd like to save the gas money though

At this point, you may want to make Storm Chaser your first with the unknown status of opening for Lightning Rod.

I will hold on to hope until I walk through the park entrance unfortunately..
