From the Theme Park Review blog a few months ago and the Rocky Mountain Construction archives. I am fascinated by this prototype for a single-rail coaster, called the “Raptor Track”! I do not believe any are actually implemented out at any parks right now, but it looks like the design saves lots of space. The seats look really rad too. Check out the links below!

TRex Track: RMC's Latest Creation
As many of you already know, new “mono-rail” style track, and with it, a possible totally new coaster type, was announced by RMC a few weeks back. I realize I’m a bit late to the party posting this, however, seeing as this blog’s new, better late than now to give my opinion. As of now, little is known about this new track style. RMC released these photos, along with this short statement to Theme Park Review:
“Robb, here are some photos and new renderings of our new TRex track for you to share with your group. This is essentially a monorail type coaster, all steel. We have just produced the one piece of red track in the photos so far. We have a lot of interest in this coaster track system, so there will be coasters built in the near future utilizing this track and cars. Just can't say where or when... You know the drill Come visit us at IAAPA this year, we'll have some the renderings to show and we can chat more about this new ride system!”
Can’t wait for IAAPA to start up in about a month from now! There’s just so many unanswered questions I’ve got about this new coaster concept. Many other enthusiasts on the internet have stated that the ride will require less supports, as well as be able to reach heights of 200-300’. Personally, I believe if this track style works out for them, it could very well launch them straight to the top of the steel coaster market, and possibly fill a void left in recent years by the lack of more intense, innovative steel coasters here in North America (*cough* B&M *cough*).
As for who I think will receive the first model of this coaster type, the jury’s still out on that one, and will most likely be for a quite a while. If I had to choose, I’d say Canada’s Wonderland, and not just because it’s my home park. In the past decade or so that CW has been under Cedar Fair’s control, the chain has sought to make the park a leader here in Canada, as well as a type of “testing ground” for other parks in the chain. Numerous examples of this come to mind, most notably Behemoth (new trains style from B&M, and spawning two other hypers in the chain over the next two years), Leviathan (first B&M giga), and guardian (unique ride type, combining two *spoiler alert* 3* ride types, and starting the “trend” of interactive dark rides for CF). In addition, it was rumored that CF was testing VR on an existing attraction, which now looks like it’ll be none other than Thunder Run (CW’s mine train coaster). With all this said, it’s more than likely that if CF were to decide to work with RMC and build a TRex coaster, it’d be at CW.
If I had to choose any other park but my home one, I’d say any park in the Six Flags chain would be getting a ride like this. Earlier on the Theme Park Review Forums, somebody posted a rendering of what looks to be a dueling TRex coaster in a supposed “email survey” conducted by SF. It could very well be bogus, however, given that SF and RMC already have a decent rapport, I think otherwise.
Well, that’s it for now. Be sure to stay tuned for any new info to come on RMC’s new TRex coaster style when it’s released, as well as many more exciting posts here on this blog!
