I just thought that I'd put a topic (sorry if there is one) of the re opening theme park Kentucky Kingdom. A new roller coaster was recently announced and that'll be called Lightning Run.. Made by Chance Rides.
Thanks NickiFan

It's a Chance rip off of the Intamin Mega-Lite but it actually looks very good. Take a look...

Is this official? The video quality is awful and the channel has one upload.
I would have thought it would have been an RMC of Twisted Sisters.

Looks like a good RMC! Awful construction of the simulation though :lol
A good layout with the inverting drop used on Medusa, they're clearly combining well received elements. I doubt it will be quite as good as Twisted Colossus or Wicked Cyclone which are some of the best produced so far, but it will certainly be good.

Rocky Mountain Construction have posted a few photos to their Facebook, showing Storm Chaser's construction.

A ThemeParkReview Forum member has recently posted these photos showing that track for the first drop/inversion has been erected along with lots of the support structure.

Storm Chaser has now tested for the first time, as seen in this video. It does seem to get very slow towards the end of the ride, but I'm sure it's likely to speed up once it's bedded in.

I feel like the distance that this video was shot at will also effect how fast the rise looks, as it's very unusual for an RMC ride to be slow. Although I must admit this does make me excited for RMC's future installations as this shows they are really letting loose with their track layouts.

Here's the first on-ride POV of Storm Chaser from Upstop Media. Definitely seems to maintain good speed throughout, and so it looks as though RMC have delivered once again.
