    In an interview, one of their workers said that they were basically ready with the t-rex and they just needed someone to approach them about it. This was this year at iappa so I think it’s still in their catalog but like you said not enough interest.

    I feel like we enthusiasts are too fixated on that theoretical 500 ft maximum for the T-Rex. For instance, Zamperla announced at IAAPA that their new Lightning trains can theoretically handle speeds of up to about 200 mph, yet nobody seems to think a ride that fast is in Zamperla's future. It feels reasonable to manage our expectations on stats in a similar manner.
    Based on cost, demand, available space and other factors, I'd personally bet my money that every T-Rex will be 150-350 ft tall. Results like these wouldn't disappoint me at all. RMC doesn't need 500 ft to make a great ride; most of our top 25 lists back this up.

    Two things happened:
    1: The development and roll out of raptor coasters is behind schedule. There is more kinks to work out before moving on to its bigger brother. They straight up had to change the track design from the original 2. Gen 2 raptor track is several inches thicker.
    2: The pandemic hit right in the middle of that raptor development, slowing down development of the raptor and demand for the T-Rex.
    However, the T-Rex is far from dead. RMC has made that very clear. If they dropped the idea, they’d treat it like their “woodies” and quietly brush it under the rug before pulling it from their site.
    The Raptor is also starting to hit its limit in terms of capacity and height. The max the model can do is in the 160s/170s ft in height.
    The first T-Rex is likely going to be a hyper, maybe a giga. The model can be 500ft, but it was NEVER marketed at RMCs 500ft model. Thoosies have greatly overinflated RMC answering an interview question for what this coaster model is. The T-Rex is supposed to be RMC take on a modern “steel” coaster. It’s going to be used on a wide range of coasters. From a more traditional hyper layout, to the largest looping coasters. And yes, if the model is successful (and reliable) some of those coasters will eventually be over 500ft. But that is like stage 2 or 3 of the T-Rex model’s rollout.

    If RMC is still willing to build one if a Park has legit interest in one, I would say that Energylandia isn´t too unrealistic. Looking at their entire lineup, both in coasters and Flatrides, they are focused in offering something for the entire family, from the smallest child to people that are looking for the highest thrills. When they build Zadra, they also added 2 coasters suitable for children, when they added Abyssus, they also added a Family Boomerang, next are the Mine Train and another child friendly coaster, so the next one after that is the Tilt Coaster for the Thrill Audience.
    Realisticly, they are probably going for a Giga from either B&M (most likely) or Intamin, unless Vekoma feels comfortable enough to break the Giga Milestone for them. But overall, I wouldn´t put a a T-Rex with more than 400ft as too unrealistic for them.

    • @RemixedVoice

      It also helps that Energylandia is funded a lot by the Polish government, in order to bring more tourism to the country. They don't really have to worry as much about profits and costs as much as privately-owned parks do.

    I think you basically found it by the end:
    For anything up to the 250ft range, it's cheaper to build a ground-up Ironhorse/I-Box hybrid.
    For the single-rail gimmick - the raptor model got scaled up enough and they found ways to get enough capacity out of the model for the biggest Six Flags parks.
    The only reason to build the T-Rex is to go big - like Giga big or bigger. Unfortunately the monetary and land-use cost of that kind of project is outside the budget of just about everybody (except Energylandia). I don't think it's necessary canceled though - just that the right confluence of events hasn't occurred to bring one to market.
    Some of those other models you mocked for not making it to market may also pop up eventually. The problem for the Intamin vertical LSM is that they're mostly working with Busch/Sea in NA and those parks already added Skyrocket IIs - which seem quite similar. And all those family coaster projects aren't necessarily a "step backwards" - parks care about filling out their lineups for the whole family.
    Enthusiasts also need to stop obsessing over the whole "the ride system is good for 500+ft" thing. I'm pretty sure any of the big players (Intamin, B&M, S&S/Vekoma) would be able to submit bids for a ride of that size if the land and the cash were readily available. We already see an Intamin project that scale proposed for Six Flags Qiddiya.
    Let's also be real here - a giga RMC would still be a dream and there's basically no way for the first one to be a disappointment from a hype perspective. The only project of that scale I can remember being a let down in the coaster community was Orion - and that's really only because of Fury. If Fury didn't exist no one would've moaned at Orion. I could see the 2nd or 3rd TRex project being a "let down" but so long as the first is the tallest/fastest RMC - I think folks will rightly lose their minds.

    • @VestedUTuber
      @VestedUTuber ปีที่แล้ว +2

      On top of that, even parks that could afford one aren't looking for that kind of ride anymore. The coaster wars as we knew them are over, because the average park guest today isn't looking for the biggest rides but rather the best experiences - not just with the rides themselves but in the queue experience and theming as well. The T-Rex is a coaster model that came a decade too late.

  • @railsrust
    @railsrust ปีที่แล้ว +9

    So I just want to point out that Alan Schilke in the past said many years ago that they basically wanted to milk the Raptors for a while before they went to the T-Rex. They wanted to use up its potential and develop the T-Rex before really pushing its sale. We're now starting to get to that point. What's likely been holding it back is largely the Pandemic and the fact that parks really aren't buying a lot of large coasters right now.

  • @je4a301
    @je4a301 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I don't agree with you here. Any regular big park could just get a normal RMC T Rex that isn't 500 feet tall and where a Raptor wouldn't make much sense due to capacity. The Raptor may have 12 car trains now but thereby, they still only can have 12 seats per train. That's not great for a big park. There are a lot of parks that could get an average (120-250 feet ish) RMC T Rex where it would make sense economically. I could see most Merlin or Walibi parks getting one. They have big parks and they don't go all out with new attractions. Also the bigger Six Flags would benefit from the higher capacity (New England, Great America, Discovery Kingdom e.g.) over a Raptor.

    Once you get a coaster over 400 feet, it is going to be greatly affected by wind. A 500 foot coaster would be down a lot plus with the speed people would probably have to wear goggles. I'm actually surprised that Fury 325 hasn't had anyone sustain an eye injury from an insect at this point.

  • @phil19985

    Gotta disagree on multiple opinions here:
    1. The Raptors getting bigger negates the need for a T-Rex. Disagree cause the therex at the same size would have better capacity.
    2. following the first i think a t-rex between 200 and 300 feet is totally viable.
    3. i think an t-rex was an option for the new thorpe park coaster. or also maybe is for sixflags quedilla(i am sorry if i spelled that wrong).
    So my hope that one is beeing build isnt that low.

    I think it's about money and return on investment from the park's perspective. Hybrids (especially conversions) and Raptors are cheap and generate a lot of hype. Just look at Iron Gwazi. Some enthusiasts are calling it the best in the world. A T-Rex would probably cost 5-10 times as much, and when the cheaper option almost automatically lands in people's top 25, the law of diminishing returns dictates what you go with.
    I think we'd be more likely to see a T-Rex in like UAE or somewhere where showing off opulent spending is an end in itself, and no one really cares about returns.

  • @TheSonicsean

    I really doubt that anyone would want to build a 500 ft coaster. Cedar Point saw diminishing returns chasing the height record. There are plenty of roller coaster fans who find 300 feet terrifying, let alone 400/500 ft. A huge ride takes a ton of space and wouldn't see crowds the way chains hope it would. We will hopefully see a T-Rex at some point, but I think it will be a shorter affair.
    That being said, if Top Thrill 2 can't be remedied, I could see Cedar Point putting a record breaking T-Rex in it's place.

    Another possible reason that parks won't justify getting a large scale t-rex is because how much space it would take up, because parks will get more of a return for the same land if instead of a 500ft trex they can put in a 100/200ft thrill coaster, new flats, possibly a new family coaster and restaurant. The only way I see a t-rex happening is if a park goes for a raptor sized ride, but with better capacity

    I think it comes down to 2 factors- 1) cost of materials/cost to finance. This means parks will pay significantly more to build a T-REx and to finance it will be significantly higher due to interest rates. 2) Many parks are still recovering from the 2020 shut down, and this has delayed ride purchase/replacement programs.
    I heard rumors that Silverwood saved RMC when they bought Stunt Pilot, simply because other parks cancelled/delayed projects. The other rumor being when Silverwood bought Stunt Pilot is that this raptor was meant for a different park that cancelled and Silverwood bought it to keep the RMC staff employed.

    Now hold on just a minute this may sound extremely retarded and perpetual Kennywood hours of budget way over 30 million they could probably build an RMC T-Rex hypercoaster the one that was planned to be at Cedar Point called Exrhobus or something like that which at the minimal probably at the minimal 12 million dollars here's the problem Kennywood already has a hyper coaster that hyper coaster being Phantom's Revenge by the way people who haven't rode that coaster you need to book your ticket to Kennywood. Coaster will not disappoint the airtime on it is crazy anyway we could probably see an RMC T-Rex megacoaster would you be even less costly somewhere around 7 to 6 million which knowing hyper coasters they're pretty common but Mega coasters are are many hyper coasters that are very rare I'm not sure if energylandia has one nor do I know if Six Flags Great America but the part that I could see getting closer and closer to getting one would possibly be Six Flags Magic Mountain Iowa's theme parks are way out of the question their budget is miniscule I get it Adventureland was able to pull off a Morgan hypercoaster but after that I doubt they're getting anything else however I do not think they're going to fully scrap the RMC T-Rex and just like you said it's the RMC converted wooden hybrids fail or the Raptors just get smaller we can probably build an RMC T-Rex single rail however the chances of the hybrid failing is extremely miniscule the ibox track is an absolute hit and coasters that are old like the old Wildcat really needed the RMC so it's not likely the RMC hybrids will fail but I do have some speculation after riding Wonder Woman flight of Courage it wasn't as far from the height of Jersey Devil I don't know if devil is taller than woman because I really wasn't paying attention to the ads but since RMC is increasing the Raptor height I do believe Wonder Woman flight of courage is taller than Jersey Devil that's just a given however the thin strip Raptors are a relatively new concept and coaster enthusiasts are happy to see them the old Raptors are relatively boring their Bare Bones still don't get me wrong the old Raptors were still fun but the thin strip raptors have more room for really intense elements like immelemens airtime Banks overturn curves zero-g roll and stalls personally the thin strip Raptors are the best in my opinion but that still beats the point will we ever see an RMC T-Rex the answer is not for awhile possibly a few decades because like I said earlier the hybrids are a massive success and the Raptors are also getting larger but eventually the Raptors will become such a large the point where they just don't become Raptors anymore and just become T-Rex but for now let's focus on zamperla's goals of Top Thrill 2 and the new posters planned for some of the Six Flags parks I did hear the RMC is building a T-Rex track for Silver Dollar City and their family coaster I just realized this is the longest comment I've ever commented😂😂😂

    Even if considering, 520 ft statement is more or less marketing stunt from RMC.
    Like let's be honest, nobody cares about Intamin being 500+ feet capable because they never says it directly. Nor even Arrow itself with 700 ft hook coaster. People more care about bombastic stat anyway, so RMC just drop it

    Fiesta Texas at San Antonio will purchace a TRex. We already have the first Raptor, the Wonder Woman. But we need a new Trek Coaster like the Superman over here.
    It would have to be DC themed so I saw we call it like the Darkseid Antilife Equation coaster or something cool like that.

  • @grobble8954
    @grobble8954 ปีที่แล้ว

    SF is out of the question cause they do not spend 30M on coasters, they purchase max15M coasters & actually cheaper than that since bankruptcy. RMC Raptors were designed to go up to 200ft according to RMC for custom models, their issue is that the clone models have too low capacity except for low attendance parks, yet parks do not want to spend 30-40M for a Trex. RMC is developing a middle tier coaster, that has 2 acrosss seating to have higher capacity like Trex, while not as expensive, yet larger than Raptors.

  • @dylankeim6039
    @dylankeim6039 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the whole 500ft thing needs to die. I'm betting 2030 will be the earliest for any kind of project like that. The difference between a hyper and a giga is huge. But to GP, what's the difference between a 400 and a 500 foot coaster? Is a 400ft coaster not thrilling enough? I think it is and I don't think parks think it's worth the extra money to make a coaster 100ft taller when they can still make banger coasters that don't cost as much. Plus, we still haven't seen a 400ft coaster with a chain lift. I honestly think the name of the game is innovative trains which is already happening with the free spin, wing coaster, and surf coaster.

  • @leyoshivenere350

    The B&M gigas are so stale at this point, we have so many of them. You’ve ridden one or two, you’ve ridden most others already without even knowing it. I hope it’s just a case of premature marketing hype, and that RMC is hard at work on development making it more economical.

    Off topic, why is everyone still hating on Jersey Devil?? While that one clip in the video showed it going slow(with an EMPTY TRAIN keep in mind), it still has sped up ever since opening. So I don't get why everyone is hating on it despite having 1 slow ride in its earlier years.

    My home park is six flags great adventure and the 50th anniversary is 2024 and we are supposed to get something big but now knowing it’s not likely the T. rex will ever be released is bad for six flags and us but I doubt they would’ve gotten one anyway plus everybody wants a giga but well six flags is poor so I’m not sure what they are going to do tbh at that point they should just give us a vekoma tilt coaster and we just get a complete retrack for el toro by zublin(original company contracted to make the track for el toro) and huge park improvements

  • @christtototottottott
    @christtototottottott ปีที่แล้ว

    There haven't been any because parks aren't building huge coasters any more. The T-Rex isn't anything special. There's a number of manufacturers who would take on a 500ft full layout coaster but there aren't any parks actually willing to put the money down to build it.

    I really don't think this part is valid, The majority of guest parks what to appeal to is families because they bring in all the money. DarKoaster seems to be a really good investment and will bring much more families to the park. But I kind of get the motor bike coaster.

    Great Adventure is my home park and in 2022 the 4 times I went... it was dead

    So I don't think Great Adventure can financially justify any new major ride right now

  • @justachipofftheiceberg6313
    @justachipofftheiceberg6313 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In my opinion it just doesn't make sense to have track like that, the rappers are small and can do tight moves and stuff but the trex is basically normal track that uses a lot more material and is more expensive, at that point rmc might as well make a normal pipe rail coaster

  • @weponsaremyreligionmando521
    @weponsaremyreligionmando521 ปีที่แล้ว

    One place I could see a T-rex going is where cedar creek mine co. is in cedar point. The old mine ride isn't the best, it really dosen't have any historical purpose except for the story line of the western part of town in cedar point. Blue streak is the oldest in the park, and in my opion it is a better ride and still looks and feels good. Two things could go in this new space. Record breaking gci or a t-rex. We have been prommised a rollercoaster that is going to be biggeer and better than stev way before the top thrill incedent. And I know that top thrill is going to be revamped, but I don't see it as a full on new coaster that fufills the better than stev statment. I think thta after top thrill is done with and finaaly open, we will see news on something coming to cedar point, hopefully a t-rex but I could see a recourd breaking gci.

    Epic Universe is about the only park I can think of that can realistically build one of these right now. Universal has the money and the space now so it's the ideal candidate in my eyes. Question is what would the theme be and who would be the target audience?

    Bgt and bgw usually get the same coasters one after another like montu and alpengeist and sheikra and griffon so now that bgt has an rmc I think we could see an rmc at bgw and bgt might get an intamin multi launch or a smaller coaster like the indoor one

    • @JapanD3V
      @JapanD3V ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, no. Alpengeist was somehow a flop, while Montu has one of the best invert layouts, and probably would be the best if Carowinds didn't try and steal the cool from BGT with Afterburn. The two are basically the same, just removing the second loop from Afterburn's layout. An RMC at BGW is possible, yes, as new plans have shown it's possible. I don't think BGT would get an Intamin Multi-Launch considering they already have a good family Intamin, that being Cheetah Hunt, and it's the most popular coaster at the park, barely being beaten out by Cobra's Curse. Supposedly, Sand Serpent is getting a warehouse-like shell to make it an indoor coaster in 2023 or 2024, so the possibility of a DarKoaster at BGT is already filled in with Sand Serpent.
