- 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 rockymtnconstru...

UP CLOSE WITH THE RMC RAPTOR PROTOTYPE: czcams.com/video/Rv_MRMy8dqQ/video.html
what an exciting time for employees at RMC. they have become such in high demand in just a few years. every park wants a RMC coaster now. probably a good time for investors in the company too!
RMC shed > Mystic Timbers shed
LOL
As someone that's going to college to become a roller coaster engineer I truly enjoyed this
Oh sweet. Where do you want to work?
@@tatesmith4281if he becomes a civil engineer he can become a coaster engineer, it's easy, in RMC maybe not but in european manufacturers they work in groups to design them so he has a lot of opportunities.
@@noway2658 he can works where he wants. To become a roller coaster engineer u have to study civil engineer so if he doesn't end up being that he will be able to work in a lot of diferente places
@@marcgarcia7768 actually you study mechanical... I literally just learned about how they build all of this in a mechanical engineering class last semester
@@dragsterguy21 mechanical engineer? Maybe, but for the structures RMC (alan schilke) works with, u need to know at least a bit of structure knowledge.
I I've been noticed that when designing a roller coaster (not in RMC cause it's 100% alan) civil, mechanical and electric engineers work together.
Extremely interesting video! :)
COASTER BOT wass good
I can’t reply because my WiFi is awful.
I cant believe texas giants was made just in that little building
Not unlike the fabrication facility for B&M in Ohio. Quite a lot can be done in such a facility.
Wow, Jake is super cool and so laid back. Such a great tour, and I'm so glad America finally has one of the best steel coaster manufacturers in the world
Yeah but....bm...intamin..mack...zierer...gerstlauer...maurer...are from germany and switzerland....
Big shout out to RMC for letting you guys look and film the manufacturing process. Very cool
They have the patent so they can show everything haha
You should make a documentary about RMC
ikr
well
@@bombsquadbh2277 He's a time traveler
RMC is truly magical. We don't deserve these craftsmen
This is a pretty incredible video, it just goes to show how strenuous making even a short coaster really is
*cough* GOLIATH *cough*
Made in America. Proud of the workmanship and can stand behind their products.
I want one of those RMC sweaters
This is just awesome stuff. It’s amazing to think that for probably 95% of those employees, it’s just a job and a paycheck, but here we are gazing at it as a factory that makes pure magic. So ... any mention of sign of a T-Rex in the works???
StamfordBridge didn't see any T-Rex track on site or in the shop.
Coaster Studios OK, thanks. I take it you didn’t ask.
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.
Let's just take a time to appreciate the effort and time those men put into making 60 seconds of our lives better. They have 2 kind of credits: the usual rider's ones and the builder's legendary credits. Props to them.
It’s really cool to see how they make roller coasters
No kidding!
The best track!! Those coasters are so smooth!
Because you do these interviews and videos so well, I would just love to see if you could get in with B&M sometime!... I'm particularly interested on how their cars and trains are built and all that stuff... it would be very very kind of Walter and Claude to let you in their home Base!
that would be way cool, and I'd hope to one day do that, but I know B&M tends to be a bit tougher to convince to do one of these things with. RMC is pretty open about this kind of thing, but B&M may take some convincing.
B&M doesn't really need publicity, hype, etc...as a long established company. RMC is still a really young company and wants and seeks the good press. RMC by their own statements doesn't think they have "made it". They are" young and hungry. "
Great video. It would be cool to see a part 2 of RMC installing the ride.
That was awesome! It's true amazing to be able to see the incredible work they have going into these coasters. I just rode Twisted Timbers last week and will say THANK YOU to all of the crew at RMC!
Great vid. Thanks for posting.
this video but every time taylor says “wooow” it speeds up
One of your coolest videos. Must have been an amazing experience to see all this.
thank you! It really was, I'm thrilled they gave me the opportunity to do this!
This is awesome, and Jake did a fantastic job with the tour and providing the details. Hats off to him and RMC, as well as you, good sir.
He said that the two raptors are mirrored because both parks had a similar size of land. Which one was the original and which is the mirror?
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.
Jacob Chambers Fiesta got the original. Railblazer is the mirror
I believe you're telling the truth based on your sources, but just last weekend I took a tour of the Wonder Woman site with Jeffrey Seibert, the park president, and he specifically said that Wonder Woman is the mirror of the original design. Did they guys at RMC say WW was the original? If they did, I would believe them first.
Great Video! I've fabricated most of my life. This would be a fun place to work! I like how you keep all the work there to control quality!
As a welder this is home, I can smell flux core and 75/25 in the air, smells like money. I’ve always wondered about joint mating and bolt hole line up and the in the field accuracy. This makes my Stecker Pick Out.
Really interesting, you can really see how the quality comes out of their work.
I absolutely love this video - thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
Thanks for this video. It answered some questions. Great piece.
THANKS FOR THE FUN FELLAS !!!!!!!😁🤣😂🤟
As an engineer and rollercoaster enthusiast this vid was fantastic
Great interview. Love that you can hear him soo clearly👌
Super cool. Its amazing to see the raptor being developed
Nice to see how RMC is doing with raptor :D
It's crazy this was before SV. As popular as they were at this point I think SV made them be viewed as something different. I'm sure they have grown a lot since your visit.
Honestly one of the most interesting videos ive ever watched
RMC is awesome.
I want to see some of these guys down at Six Flags Over Georgia soon. Seems very interesting.
It's cool that they do pretty much all of the work for their coasters, making them truly Rocky Mountain *Construction*. Unlike B&M that basically does the design+oversight, and has others make their track and other parts, and contract for construction.
This video was awesome love to see how the track is made great job
Great video dude! It shows everything that I wanted to see
Really neat video! Loving the diverse content!
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.
cool vid! was wondering how they check the complex rails shapes so they are within design specs when they have welded all plates together?
good show , inspiring
Awesome footage
This was awesome
I weld a lot of things together so seeing this is pretty cool. I want to get into the welding industry and this doesn't look like a bad job.
CoasterChaos For a coaster enthusiast and a welder, this looks like the best job in the world! (Of course, I don’t know anything about the pay and benefits, etc.)
Epic video, man.
Really cool to see since my home park is SDC outlaw run is my fav of course
DarthYoda Fred Grubb gave me a piece of Outlaw Run at the end of my visit, it was pretty cool!
RMC #1
That guy was really nice and informative! :D
P.s. I want that RMC jumper so bad... It looks so comfy
Wow this was very interesting and educational!
Absolutely great video! I am surprised however no one on the tour including the guide wore safety glasses or hard hats. That seems like it should be a must to walk through the door of a facility like that.
Joel Speakman oh gosh who cares
This is how we roll
Way more interesting than I was expecting!
Really cool stuff!
Great video
Absolutley love this thank you so much very helpfully....can you tell me if the rapator similar in sise and style to the railblaizer can be fitted safely with jusy the a lapbar instead of what is currently on railblaizer...becouse the aggressive air time and turns cause the straps to painfully cut in to your shoulders.
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.
Okay, thanks!
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for this!
Working at RMC as a designer would be like my dream job, except for maybe owning my own manufacturing company
That's a true American company.
Very cool video. Thanks
Thats Awsome!!!! it would be nice to also see the design process
So if I wanted to pursue this type of work, what is it called? Engineering of some sort or something else? Thanks!!
Thanks for this, and the other video!
Never knew that S&S 4D free spins had RMC track
I really want to work here when I get older omg
Real
Very cool that they let you film this. I think Vekoma wont do that.
Vekoma probably would, B&M on the other hand are tight lipped on production.
michaeł Zell I think both wont ever do that.
Vekoma probably needs people to know that their rides aren't absolute garbage anymore. They'd want the positive publcity.
I have a interview with them Friday!
Watching this getting more and more hyped for the rmc documentary. Did you think when making this video that you would be making a full blown documentary?
Great to hear you’re excited for it! Absolutely not, I never imagined that I’d be creating a documentary about them- it’s truly an honor!
Awesome!
Did you see Steel Vengeance trains?
no. From what I've heard, those are already on site. All the work I saw at the factory was for the Raptors and free spins. But mostly Raptors.
Amazing!!!
I'm excited to ride railblazer.
Yo get those guys down to SFOG to build the best coaster in the world.
It's funny cause this looks a lot like the place I work at hahaha only we build transformers and not roller coasters unfortunately. Interesting video!
By far one of the most interesting interviews and tours you've done. One thing though I think that could improve your videos would be if you got a clip on mic. It was really hard to hear the questions you were asking.
Happy bday
4:40 A 40' x 8' sheet of steel would have to be over 2 feet thick to weigh 350,000 pounds.
Hi Taylor
Do the bm factory next!
Brandon Bombei to my understanding B&M is a bit stricter with allowing visitors
But he does have videos outside of the steel fabrication plant.
Since these rails are intended for an S&S ride, could they be headed to the Steel Curtain? The new Kennywood ride, does have some RMC elements.....
Nevermind, After rewatching the video and reading some comments, these are being produced way too early for the KW coaster, and I don't think they may not be the correct type.
Can we question the parking lot coaster?
When will your top 20 coasters list be out
I know right xD
Colin 37 I actually asked the same question over a month ago. He told me he would soon, he would just have to get his reviews posted on his channel.
Does anyone knows if companys like intamin make their own track or that one of their contractors build them?
That track will Delivered for six flags fiesta texas that will be awesome
Coasterteam 2017 we saw some SFFT track on a truck ready to be shipped out to the park, but I wasn't allowed to film it, but lots of the track in that factory will soon end up at SFFT!
I saw the outer banked turn of steel vengeance in there
Hello you are awsome
Wait, RMC is in Hayden? I was just in that are, it is pretty close. I had no idea. What makes this worse is knowing that Silverwood is right next door (I don't go there anymore) and they have no RMC coasters and will probably never get one.
I want a rmc sweatshirt
2:58
Top right corner of the track it says SFFT why didn’t we pick up on that
Wasnt that jersey devil being welded and built?
Terrible wooden coasters that need RMC’s help:
Minebuster at Canada’s Wonderland
Wildcat at Hersheypark
Racer75/Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion(maybe a möbius loop coaster like Twisted Collossus?)
Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake
El Toro at Great Adventure(hate me for it. It’s a good woodie. But imagine if it had inversions and banked airtime. It could be the best in the world. Sorry Steel Vengeance)
Hurler at Carowinds(its not rough. It’s just boring. Turns and airtime, then more turns.)
The S&S free spin prototype was made by RMC?
Yes bc RMC manufactures them and s&s sells them
these are the guys who made goliath which is one of the best rollercoasters
So so jealous. Maybe you can tour the B and M or intimin plants if you go to that part of the world at some point.
You should have slid down one of the pieces of track and you could say you “rode” iron gwazi
this comment is underrated lmao good one
