  • Join us as we are led on a guided tour through the RMC plant by the companies Chief Operating Officer, Jake Kilcup. We'll see every process on how the track is created, from cutting the sheet metal, to forming the track, to painting it, and even creating the trains.
    Thank you SO much to RMC for this amazing opportunity, and a special thanks to Jake for showing us around. You can learn more about RMC by heading to their website at rockymtnconstruction.com

      I lived in Spokane just next door almost to Hayden, ID. So beautiful and awesome in that part of the country. Probably the nicest people you will ever meet on Eastern WA/Northern ID. A lot of people in that part of the country are in trade and industry, and don't really travel as much as people in congested and metropolitan areas, let alone to amusement parks often, accept for maybe silverwood theme park, but that is just a tiny little thing. So that is probably why a lot of people in that area just think of it as a good job, and not as in they are making magic. Although they probably don't realize it but everyone there at RMC are superstars for giving us all amazing roller coasters to ride. :) Thank you wonderful people of Idaho! Haha.

  • @grobble8954
    @grobble8954 6 років тому +1

    Good video and it seem RMC's next expansion will be putting painting and sand blasting in the same building. The time and effort to move stuff thru the doors hurts efficiency especially as they are going to have to manufacture more and more with the demand for them. They are doing their own stuff and S&S 4D's and Skywarps, which I could see SF cloning to a ton of parks like they dd with superloops. SF also is likely to clone quite a few Raptors. They can increase efficiency with a combined facility and crank out many Raptors(future Trex) per year b/c they don't need RMC crews in the field like conversions.

    • @j-coasters
      @j-coasters 6 років тому +2

      Jacob Chambers I believe that the layout was pre determined by RMC already. Like it’s a stock layout for cloning purposes. So there really isn’t an original if you look at it that way. The only way to determine which one was original is to find out wether which one is actually the mirror of the stock layout. Actually, Railblazer was mentioned to be the mirror, so Wonder Woman might actually be the pure stock layout.

    • @CoasterStudios
      @CoasterStudios  6 років тому +6

Did they guys at RMC say WW was the original? If they did, I would believe them first.

    Awesome video!
    A question I have is I hear that Steel Vengeance and Twisted Timbers will have a new model of RMC trains. What's the difference between those trains and the current ones?

    • @j-coasters
      @j-coasters 6 років тому

      Zachary Potter the old trains had one wheel on the top, bottom, and inside of the rails and the wheel bogies stayed exactly perpendicular to the floor of the car if you were looking from the side. That design is much like old wooden coaster trains. They have to leave a gap between the wheels and the rails to allow the quick changes in direction. That gap gives the car room to bounce around on the track. The new trains have 6 wheels per rail. 2 on top, bottom, and side and the wheel bogies follow the contour of the rail, much like B&Ms trains. With that design, there is no need for gaps in the wheels and rails making little to no extra movement on the rails. That makes an even smoother ride.

    I just want to ask, did you get lucky or something with a opportunity to do this? Or is it something almost anyone can do?

      mscoaster The RMC Plant is private property. You cannot just show up and ask for a tour. It's very rude. You have to have a specific reason for visiting. Not just because you want to take a look around. And even then, there's no guarantee they'd allow you.

    Have you considered doing the clermont steel factory for B&M?

      They're pretty strict, so I don't think I'd be allowed to unfortunately. Luckily though I've done one for RMC, MACK Rides, Chance Rides, and Soarin Eagle Zipline!

      I enjoy them all, I figured they were strict. Heard that on the KIC forums, love your videos!

      Luckily, there are several B&M Plant drive by's that I've done, so you can at least see some of the track there!
