  • Take a virtual ride on ROAR at the Six Flags America amusement park in Maryland, near Washington DC. This GCI-built roller coaster is one of the companies first, and some of the current shaping of Great Coasters International can be seen in many of the turns and hills. Ultra HD 4K POV, front row. #SixFlags #POV #RollerCoaster #SixFlagsAmerica #WashingtonDC
    ROAR hits over 50mph and features an 85-foot drop from 95-feet in the air. The almost 3,500 feet of track still provides a quite smooth ride and, while some airtime hills aren't the strongest, it is a must-ride when at the Six Flags America theme park.

      Well, there's also that "No, it's not bad at all" at 0:43 and "They fixed it" at 1:03... and they have. It still has one rough patch at around 0:55, but even that has been improved and isn't too bad for a wooden twister. I personally love this ride for what it is.

  • @rogerbordine7
    @rogerbordine7 3 месяца назад +1

    A full GCI re-tracking (maybe with some steel titan track for the rougher bits) and some newer GCI millennium flyer trains would do this coaster good. No RMC’ing necessary, especially if GCI Re-profiles a lot of it to make it smoother, faster, and have more sustained airtime. Totally doable, and probably at half the price of RMC.

    1. I believe this is the only GCI coaster than still runs with PTC made trains.
    2. Oddly enough, this coaster runs better in colder weather.
    3. I'd like to see some kind of makeover (either an Iron Horse or Topper Track RMC conversion, Titan Track from GCI or whatever new thing Gravity Group is doing).
