RMC Streak Photo Update - May 7, 2017

So here's what I am thinking. We keep thinking that the name will be some sort of western villain, but what if it goes the other way and is a hero such as a sheriff or something like that. There are a few things backing this theory up. First up is the wanted posters. Tony mentioned in a tweet that if they are seen to let the sheriff know, but as of now there is no sheriff of Frontiertown. Next up is the score to settle. Currently the only other major ride in the back of the park is Maverick which in my opinion represents more of a rogue idea instead of a hero of sorts and the score to be settled might a sheriff cowboy or some hero to tame the west. The silhouettes on the wanted posters might be part of the larger Frontiertown expansion and be villains while the ride itself might be the hero there to save the day... That's my take at an extreme theory.

Still think it could be "Roulette " red tracks. Black numbers on trains with poker card graphics.

In the late 19th century, Robert LeRoy Parker—better known as “Butch Cassidy”—led a gang of train robbers who went by the colorful nickname “The Wild Bunch.” This band of stickup men was responsible for several railway heists, but perhaps none was as famous as 1899's Wilcox Train Robbery in Wyoming.Oct 21, 2013

The Wild Bunch! Plural, train robbers, there are trains on this coaster. This could be fun.

I've been saying Showdown since Mean Streak's funeral. I would be happy with that.

When do you guys think they will paint the track gold? Fall or Spring?

^^ its staying brown. They don't install track then paint. They come pre painted the color they will remain.

Definitely spring. They won't want the winter to wear on the new paint.

What makes anyone think they are going to paint the track once its installed?? That's unheard of. Track is normally painted the color they want it before its installed.

This guy musta missed the GOLD TRACk memo.

and must be color blind. It's not brown.

Well seeing as I was at the park Sunday.....the Track is not Gold at the moment. Def is brown. but k. I did not see a "memo" stating there is going to be gold track.

Nope. Won't be gold till Spring.....try to keep up..... ;-)

Also on Sunday we got stuck on Valravn. When we pulled into the station the floors would not come back up lol Dang that B&M reliability!!!

I was gonna say....haha.

**EDIT** I guess he didn't wanna keep his post about the inside joke gold tracks!

Dang man I hope you're joking! Every self respecting "Cedar Point Platinum pass holder for the past 75+ years" coaster enthusiast knows that the coaster track is painted AFTER they place it. Like c'mon now, it's obvious this brown coat is just a primer and the gold paint will see the glorious Cedar Point skyline this coming spring!1!1!1!!!!!111111!

^^ hahaha see someone get it haha

Nice try.

Are you talking about me? If so I have no idea how my post got deleted. But yes. It's been an inside joke.

Red? Looks more like Rustoleum to me.

So this teaser pretty much confirms that the coaster won't actually be open until 2019.
