I've ridden a simiar version of this as Twisted Cyclone at SFOG. Despite it being a short ride, it's still forceful and keeps its pacing very well. I wish it was longer but it's still great the way it is. Their ops were very good during my visits to the park this season.
Twisted cyclone is very high on my bucket list! The operators were good at Wicked Cyclone but the policies from corporate defenitly hindered the operations majorly. If they opened the airgates when the riders were unloading I think that they’d have rolled trains on every dispatch
It’s the only RMC I’ve ever ridden but was so blown away when I first did because it’s so mind-blowing how great an average looking coaster can be. Hoping to make a trip down to Hershey Park and Great America this summer to experience their RMC’s so hopefully will be able to assess better then.
I agree the ride is proof that you don’t need some record breaker to have a world class coaster. Of the 2 rmcs you’ve mentioned I have only been on Wildcats Revenge at Hershey, but it’s phenomenal you’re gonna love it!
Like I said the operators are amazing it’s the policy of making the riders completely leave the platform before opening the airgates. That’s a policy from the top that the operators can’t control. I’d love to be an operator though!
Unfortunately I didn’t have time to ride the B&M but I did experience 10 minute dispatches on the SLC which made what should’ve been 5-10 mins for a station wait (even though it was 1 train ops) turn into 25 minutes. Superman’s operations were incredible when I visited though.
Yeah, this reeks of elitism. Who cares? Just go on the ride and enjoy it. Go design and build a ride yourself if you're going to complain this much about specific elements.
Where does wicked cyclone rank in your overall coaster rankings?

Yapping about the dispatches the fact we get an average of 25 cycles a hour and if you think it's so easy how about you work the ride

Dispatches at SFNE are disappointing to say the least. Even slow on their B&M.

Like I said in the video this is one of my favorite rides. My issues mainly lie in policies from corporate and not the ride itself.
