RMC pacing is wild but can be too much

Started by lift.hill.liz on Jun 17, 2026 9:10 AM

Hot take maybe, RMC is incredible but some layouts feel like they never breathe. I dont always want to get thrown around for 2 minutes.

This is where I get annoyed with rankings. Everybody acts like there is one correct answer and there just isnt.

GateKeeper gets too much hate. Its graceful and the keyholes are still cool even if thoosies pretend they arent.

I kinda agree but your underrating the first drop. A good drop can carry a whole ride for me.

I dont buy fast lane unless the park is already expensive enough that missing rides would ruin the trip.

Capacity should count in rankings a little. A great ride that moves the line is a better park ride.

For night photos use a fence post or trash can as a fake tripod. Not elegant but it works lol.

Some unpopular opinions are just people trying to be different. But some classics really are overrated.

If you only care about airtime you miss half the hobby. Setting, sound, pacing, all that matters. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

I like launch coasters but lift hills build suspense. A chain lift at sunset is unbeatable.

Maverick is better than a bunch of taller rides and I will argue that forever.

Recognizable coaster pics should show the signature element. Like dont upload a random support column and call it good. Also sorry but that take is wild.

RMC is amazing but I dont want every wood coaster converted. Some parks need to preserve the weird old stuff.

I dont care about credit count as much anymore. I would rather reride the great stuff.
