RMC: "So we made this new awesome coaster design for small parks."
Six Flags: "I'll take your entire stock."
Pretty much.
This is the first real roller coaster that i rode in about 7 years and it completely shocked me. That back row was insane. It was also my little brother's first roller coaster.
Nice!
WWGLC fliiiiiessss 💨 The most whippy coaster out there. My #9 out of 200
The speed it has looks unreal.
I was supervisor of this ride in 2019 and 2020. So many zen rides. 😊
Cool!
The pacing is like a Knex Coaster
This is beyond accurate, I couldn’t think of how to describe this ride but this is IT! 😂
Agreed!
Rode it several times this week with short lines. The harness actually left scars/bruisers on my shoulders (probably that S-hill), but it was still a blast. That corkscrew/zero-g roll (midway) was the best I've ever experienced, you just float upside down while rotating in a sustained, relaxed motion. Really cool.
The airtime is intense.
Wish it was a little longer but great compact ride
Absolutely!
going this summer 😁😁
Enjoy!
Last weekend me and my freind rode the back (7/8) unknowing how intense it was and omg!! We were not ready for that ride lol
Nice! Love the back.
It's a fun ride, just wish it was longer.
Me too.
That what she said
@@WcHDICE ...
Been on this once since moving to San Antonio at the end of 2019. I also rode Railblazer in 2018 and found it slightly smoother. The remodel of the trains in 2022 has made reduced capacity operation abysmal, so I have yet to ride it again as a local. Hopefully this summer it will be back to full capacity operation.
My rerides on this in 2023 weren't as strong as past years (shimmying). Still a fantastic ride though.
I really want Six Flags New England to get rid of both their boomerangs and use that square footage for a raptor.
I'd love to see that happen, but I think their next coaster will likely have a launch since that's something they're missing.
Your choice of words with "cartoonish" and "comical" are words that I've used as well to describe this coaster. I think they're well-appropriate! Both on- and off-ride, the pacing at which the trains charge through the course is unreal and even ridiculous-looking!
One of my favorite elements on this coaster is the zero-G roll. It really adds a unique flair to the pacing of the ride. After being hurtled from element to element, encountering extreme positive and negative g-forces, time suddenly stands still as you rotate weightlessly through the zero-G roll. It's an amazing moment!
That's a good way to view the zero-G roll.
Also Stunt Pilot and The Wild Water West raptor are going to smaller parks (one of which is a water park)
I saw!
In the footage at 2:11 I like it how Wonder Woman is able to do nearly double the elements of Superman- that just shows how crazy the pacing is!
Yup!
it feels like stunt piolet is a fixed railblazer 😂
But longer trains!
Since Cedar Fair doesn't own CGA anymore, I have been bugging my local park to buy railblazer from them when they close. I know I know, fat chance, but it would be such a perfect fit at my local Aussie park. Then I realised that's happening in 10 years LOL. I want one much sooner. I'll be 60 then!
Cedar Fair still owns CGA. They're just closing it. I hope RailBlazer is relocated.
@@CanobieCoaster They sold it to Prologis in 2022.
11:33 Something has gone horribly wrong with this coaster over the past year. Been riding it at roughly 1 month intervals lately - progressively worse each time - and today (5/12/23) it was riding bumpier than some wood coasters, as weird as that sounds. They were down to 1 train with only 6 of the 8 seats working. It's bizarre, since Railblazer at CAGA is still butter smooth. Same ride, same age, but Cedar Fair apparently takes proper maintenance far more seriously than Six Flags.
I know Wonder Woman is getting the trains upgraded, which is why it may be down to 1.
Would you recommend not riding it? All I’ve been seeing are comments about how painful it is and that it leaves bruises 😬. We’re scheduled to go first weekend in November.
Another great review!!!
Thanks!
Love this ride
Me too!
RMC has done another amazing concept when they made this. This is truly a masterpiece. The pacing is unbelievable, it is more whippy than literally anything, and it has such a unique experience mixed in with the single rail track and single file seating. This Track RMC came up with is great, it's unique, it has tighter elements, and handle very fast transitions smoothly. Who cares if it's short, it packs a great punch for what it's got that you don't even care about the length. JD is going to be longer anyways and I can't wait to see more of these.
Same!
The way you describe some of the elements on this ride remind me of Gale Force. Are they comparable?
Both are super intense and haul.
I agree with everything you said. I do prefer the back, but I liked the front almost as much. The leg position is awkward for me, since I always sit with my knees rotated slightly outward, never inward. Over Spring Break, the first week, the park would clear out around 4pm, and everything was a walk-on. On 2 nights, I rode Wonder Woman 4-5 times without getting off. My knees demanded that I stop. It's such a great ride, but my body can structurally only handle a few rides.
I completely understand.
Tbh the line isn’t that long all the time. It’s long on holidays and sometimes weekends but other than that it’s short 😭
I've had bad luck then!
That que line tho..
So slow.
This is easily going to be my 2nd favorite rollercoaster when I go to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Given the INTENSE AIRTIME on the drop and the extremly intense inversions it will very likely rank number 2. Iron Rattler will likely top the chart when I ride it given the elements of Extremely Intense Airtime, Intense Inversions and a top speed of 70 mph. Those are the elements I always look for and these two RMC’S Have all those elements in a very intense way. When I watch the video of Wonder Woman it even looks faster than it really is.
Wonder Woman runs comically fast. Just be warned it is currently down for a big refurbishment.
@@CanobieCoaster If that’s the case then I’ll just go when that ride is open but it likely wouldn’t be till 2024
I hope that the newer models will be as fast as the prototype
The longer train should keep the airtime crazy.
I got two rides on this during my visit last year. One in the very front row and one in the very back row. A great coaster for such a small footprint!
Agreed!
Can confirm back seat is best I have ridden this ride in every seat also I’ve nicknamed this coaster the “yeet” coaster also there is a video out there of the ride designers reaction
Lol
I heard the riding this ride more than a couple times in a row can start to bruise your shoulder
It could because of the restraints and airtime power.
Great addition to a great park & setting. Reminds me of Schwarzkopf coasters (like Shockwave & Mindbender) with great spans of track and minimum number of columns. Trains effortlessly traversing a spaghetti bowl of track. Well done RMC. Can't wait for the Devil!!!! LOL!!!
Check out the testing footage from today for Jersey Devil!
I think that Wonder Woman and RailBlazer may be the 2 best paced roller coasters I have been on. It does take a you a couple of times riding it to find the best and most comfortable way. Once I figured it out, I love these coasters. I have Iron Rattler a few spots ahead of it, but the 2 Raptors are just outside my Top 10 overall. I can't wait to ride Stunt Pilot in the second weekend of July, and to get on the bigger raptors when they open.
I'm interested to hear how Stunt Pilot compares to the other Raptors once people ride it since the profiling is different.
I'm 5'11", 32" inseam, relatively long torso, and broad shoulders. The restraints did not fit me, leaving a large gap between the lower part of the restraints and my abdomen while being extremely tight on my chest. I found it difficult to breathe during the ride and was left with contusions. I'm not exceptionally tall or large, so I was surprised I seemingly did not fit on this ride.
Oh no!
Can totally imagine how crazy the back row will ride...wish I can ride it soon
I hope you can!
This coaster I found to be really brutal and fatiguing!
Sorry you found it that way.
Great vid! All the Raptors look amazing! I wish I can ride one soon. Also, I'm hyped now that Stunt Pilot and Jersey Devil are both testing!
The rides are moving fast for initial, empty trains.
Silverwood did it right with 10 trains, yes it’s slower over all but the whip on the back is so much more intense.
I rode it again, first day of opening this year, feels like they did speed it up again.
Hope to try that one this year.
5:43 think god there mostly accommodating to row request because there’s gonna be new enthusiast planning on going to Fiesta Texas for a full Wonder Woman Coaster Experience
Enjoy!
Wonder Woman really, truly needs to be ridden to be understood. The wacky profiling of the entry to the dive loop makes for some of the most counterintuitive forces I've ever experienced. The airtime on the S hill is notable, not only for how strong it is, but also because the transition into max negative Gs is basically instantaneous. The cutback and corkscrew are weirdly graceful inversions for how quickly the train tears through them, and I love them for that. The only real criticism I can levy at the layout is that I wish there were a couple more airtime moments as good as the S hill, a flaw that I expect Jersey Devil and other subsequent Raptor layouts to remedy.
And then there are the trains... I think the trains were designed around someone in the 5'10" to 6' tall range, and I can't image anyone taller or shorter fitting in without issue. I'm 6'2" myself; and, at least for me, being tall really helps to mitigate the awkwardness of the "straddling" seating position, as my legs don't have to be spread quite as wide as someone shorter. (Hopefully no one tries to ride while wearing a skirt or kilt!) However, closing the OTSR is a very awkward proposition for someone my height, as the horizontal portion of the vest won't clear my head when I sit upright. Tilting my head forward doesn't solve the problem. Instead I have to slump downward and tilt my head sideways, lower the restraint halfway, twist my head through the opening of the vest, sit upright, and then lower the restraint fully. Once I'm in, I fit just fine, but getting in is more challenging than it ought to be.
The Raptors feel different than any other coaster for sure.
Looks incredible 😍
Sure is!
Man, I can't wait til I beat this "currently incurable" disease. These new RMCs, B&Ms, intamins and Gcis etc just have me frustrated all I can do is sit in my couch or bed. These coasters look sick! I can't wait to get better and ride!
Hope you get better, or if you can go to the park hopefully things aren’t as bad Covid wise for long and you can have a safe trip.
I hope you can ride them soon!
We got there right as the park was opening and still had to wait 3 or 4 cycles. The raptors should be at a park like Valley Fair, Great Escape, Elitch Gardens etc. Still, I’ve never been on a ride where I felt like I was pressed against the restraints more than my seat. Fantastic ride!
I agree!
Warning if you’re taller: I’m 6’4 and I end up with bruises every time I ride this. The shoulder harness has no give. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it though.
I can see how that's worse for a taller rider.
How compares Stunt Pilot at Silverwood Theme Park to Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster and Railblazer ? Do you think that Stunt Pilot is going to be insanely intense like the other raptors ?
Stunt Pilot looks like the transitions are smoothed out/elongated, but the longer train should even it out.
RailBlazer and Wonder Woman run very similar. I can't wait to see the impact of the longer train on Stunt Pilot.
I was meant to get on rail blazers ran out of time cause of school made me so sad I say rail blazer has better teeming tho
I hope you can get on it another time.
I am the 69th like but in all seriousness, awesome review and great job!
Lol
I rode this for the first time a few weeks ago, and it was just nuts. I think a part of me is still trying to figure out everything that coaster did. Got there right at park opening and walked straight on with no trouble, but the next day I noticed my collarbone was a bit bruised. Still, I think that's on me for not pulling the restraint down fast enough. The ride attendant pushed down on it to make sure I was secure before the train left the station, but she used a bit more force than I would! Great ride.
It's crazy.
This ride is so good, despite the terrible shoulder straps. It's McDonald's colors have led me to define this ride as 'the giant french fry'
I'm surprised they don't get a McDonald's wrap for the train.
@@CanobieCoaster as much as Six Flags loves advertisements, I'm surprised as well
4:40 you forgot to cut out an audio error
Whoops.
Great Video ^w^
There Are Some Differences Between Wonder Woman And Stuntpilot. Thanks For Telling Them ^w^
You're welcome.
Great review, it's a shame tho cuz SFSTL actually was supposed to get a Raptor clone for this year (the 50th anniversary) but it was canceled cuz of covid. I wish I had a Raptor closer to my house but that's life I guess
I hope they get one eventually.
SF STL hopefully gets RMC Iron Boss at some point, it's long overdue, that coaster is absolutely pre 2016 Mean Streak.
How long does it take for you to make a coaster review video?
Honestly it takes longer for it to upload (my upload speeds at my new apartment are bad). Probably an hour to script and an hour to edit.
I really think the T-Rex was the concept they wanted to make. Mainly because of train design. I'm sure they noticed it's really awkward riding spread eagle. But it's so much more steel, like a B&M track times two. I liked the novelty of the single row and your ass being 6" off the track with your feet basically on it but a lot of the fun I get from rides is sitting next to my family. The drops are utter nuts though. I hoenstly though it was a bit too chaotic to truly be enjoyable. It's just one of those "woah, holy shit, that was nuts" kind of rides. Which have their place I guess. Just not my favorite. Still. The coaster gods were looking out for me that two day the way I ninja-ed my 2 rides in somehow between only like 1 hour of operating time in the entire day due to winds.
That's a good point the elevated position probably helps add to the ride's out-of-control feel.
Does anybody know if the railblazer trians/restraints support bigger/heavier riders cause I’m a little bigger and I really wanna know if I’m gonna fit or not when I go this Saturday.
The Raptors seem to be more accommodating than the standard RMC trains, but it all comes down to body type.
Just rode Wonder Woman this afternoon, it was my first RMC Raptor. I loved the ride and all its elements but my god, my shoulders got destroyed by those restraints! I really hope RMC does something about those restraints and ride vehicles, as I think they both negatively effected the overall ride experience the entire time I was in the train.
That's fair.
That kinda sucks that they modified stunt pilots dive loop
But the longer train could still cause some crazy whip in back.
why not ten
Short and not the best restraints.
4:38 to 4:45 ummmm why?Why did that happen
Whoops, I just fixed that.
You call Wonder Woman a "very smooth coaster." I suppose you missed the rattling roughness that felt like the wheels were running over something every few inches? It is not smooth like a steel coaster should be, especially an RMC. It rattles relentlessly. I live in Ft. Worth and have been down to Fiesta Texas 3 times this year alone. I have ridden Wonder Woman perhaps 20-30 times just this year, trying really hard to like it. But the weird roughness bothers me, as do the painful shoulder straps. You said they weren't painful, but my shoulder bruises after 10 straight rides said otherwise. Now, "airtime." Airtime, as the label implies, means there is air between your butt and the seat. Because of the lap bar and ratcheting shoulder straps, there is no leaving your seat. Potential airtime, yes, but not actual airtime. I spoke with an operator who said there have been multiple falls & minor injuries due to the non-stop trains & loading/unloading. She also told me the boarding/un-boarding is often a nightmare, especially with three trains.
My upper body still felt the airtime since the straps had some give. I don't recall feeling any bumps on this one. I did feel a few on RailBlazer, but it wasn't an issue for me.
Do you rate railblazer the same?
I only got one ride on Railblazer since it closed early, but I remember them feeling similar.
OH MY GOD, AN ENTHUSIAST DIDNT GIVE A TOP TIER RMC A 10! HE SHALL BE SHUNNED!
It's still a fantastic ride.
I think its a mid-lower tier RMC thanks to the restraints and short ride time
I remember when i went i sat in the very front...
I still can’t forgive myself for that
Front is still good!
OP is wrong, this one was a prototype, which the ride ops here never fail to mention every single time the ride breaks down, which is practically every single operating day at the park.
It's a 5/10 when you consider it's just an OKAY B-tier coaster, definitely not S-tier, and ALL OF THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF DOWNTIME.
Overrated roller coaster, overrated model, and overrated park.
Iron Rattler is amazing... absolutely an "A" tier coaster, and the best roller coaster in Texas.
It's not S-tier only because coasters like Steel Vengeance, Iron Gwazi, Maverick, and Velocicoaster exist.
But RMC needs to stick to I-Box hybrids.
I agree it was a prototype. It does have quite a bit of downtime, but I'm glad the park is investing in it to improve the experience.
I've never been on rmc. How do you think Jersey Devil will compare?
Considering how fast it went in today's testing video without any riders, Jersey Devil looks like it will have more airtime.
lots of jersey devil’s elements are more drawn out then the other raptors so i don’t think it would be as whippy, but its an rmc so itll still be a great ride with great airtime
@@CanobieCoaster omg.... can you post the link?
@@rmc_fan I probably like drawn out..I can't handle intense anymore
@@ryanfrieman733 it will definitely still be intense, but it will feel a little more like a hyper coaster than a compact raptor
