Mean Streak RMC Conversion Update #10: Finally an Inversion?
Screamscape.com has released some new photos showing off what is next on the RMC Mean Streak conversion schedule. The first photo (to the right) shows what appears to be the construction of a new element, which I suspect to be an inversion due to the placement of the new ledgers, and because the track connectors on the front ledger are pointed down as if track will be running under it. If this does end up being an inversion, it would be the first we've seen in the new layout. There is another point in the layout in which an inversion is expected to be constructed, so this could support the possibility of RMC Mean Streak having two or more inversions.
From the angle of the above photo, it appears that this element, if it really will be an inversion, will be a zero-g stall or zero-g roll. I would say this element will probably be the former more likely than the latter, as the track is going up at a rate that seems to point toward a long section of straight, inverted track, which can be found in a zero-g stall, but not in a zero-g roll. I also noticed that the ledgers pictured above look different than the typical ones. They are very oddly shaped and placed, but I'm not an engineer, so what do I know?
That is not the only photo Screamscape released the other day. Below are some others that show RMC has still not worked on the lift hill or drop, as they are currently constructing a new element adjacent to the place of the former first drop (which is the one I was just discussing above). You can also see that new steel RMC track has arrived at the Cedar Point Shores parking lot, and ledgers have been temporarily placed near the former first drop, most likely for the element I was discussing above due to their proximity to it.
