Wicked Cyclone Construction Further Along at Six Flags New England

This past weekend, the folks at SFNE Online were invited out to the park for an up close and personal look, as part of the American Coaster Enthusiast Great Nor'Easter event, at the RMC rework of the park's famous Cyclone roller coaster.

Not only did they get the chance to get up close and personal with the construction site but also with the new trains, delivered only a couple of weeks ago. Overall, this thing is shaping up to be one insane ride and definitely going to be interesting to check out in the future.

For now, here's a few pictures of the progress and the trains that will grace the tracks of Wicked Cyclone!

Twisted Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain Contruction Update

Well, Rocky Mountain Construction sure is keeping itself busy. Not only with the redesign of Wicked Cyclone out at Six Flags New England, but also with the monster project of converting what was once Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain into Twisted Colossus.

Despite a couple of small issues earlier on during their construction, things seem to be taking shape pretty well. Also, thanks to the awesome folks at RMC, we've got quite a few pictures to share with you too. Some of these shots are from some really insane angles that show off just how steep the new first drop will be. You can probably also see where the rails have been removed from other sections in advance as well.

One of the more interesting things that we've learned here at ISI is that some of the old Colossus structure will remain intact. The reason for this is that they're needed to support the structure, so taking them down is not an option to be had. Definitely going to make for some interesting looking sections to say the least.

Anyway, enough of me going on and on, let's get down to the latest pictures!

Wicked Cyclone Construction at Six Flags New England Plowing Through Winter

Cold weather be damned, the Rocky Mountain Construction team that's up at Six Flags New England has been trucking along. Even with the bitterly cold temps and the recent snow, though it wasn't that much, things look to be fairly on schedule so far.

No matter how some folks feel about this recent trend with Six Flags as a whole, it's definitely interesting to watch them take what was once a beloved wooden coaster and transform it into something all together insane and alien, gotta say that.

So, anyway, let's get on with the pictures of the current status of things as posted up yesterday by some of the crew on site!

Twisted Colossus Trains Unveiled and Construction Update!

The folks over at Rocky Mountain Construction have been doing quite a bit of work the past few months on Six Flags Magic Mountain's revamp of Colossus. Despite the challenge of dealing with the fire that occurred a couple of months ago on the lift hill, it seems that things are going quite well for the crew out in Southern California.

For more info about the ride, including the animated POV and other goodies, check out our coverage of the announcement back in August.

Not only that, but during this year's IAAPA event in Orlando, they unveiled the trains for Twisted Colossus as well! So, first up, here's a look at the brand new trains that will take riders through this all new steel and wood wonderland.

Now, for the construction pics!
