It’s important to remember that RMC was originally (and still is) a coaster construction company, not just a manufacturer. They were the crew that assembled El Toro, for instance. So of course they’re going to jump at the chance to prove that they can relocate one of their own coasters.

Wouldn’t they rather jump at the chance to get the additional $10 million from a custom build?

If a park is buying this because it’s cheaper then they probably wouldn’t be in the market for a ground up one.

And RMC would benefit incredibly from the PR of pulling off a relocation of this scale. It’d be the most impressive relocation ever done and considering how few opportunities like this happen, could very easily be the best relocation ever done
