Roller Coaster Corporation of America
Roller Coaster Corporation of America (abbreviated RCCA) is an amusement ride manufacturer based in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RCCA )〕 The company's first major project was the Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 1992, while their most famous coaster was the Son of Beast at Kings Island, the world's tallest and first looping wooden coaster when it opened in 2000.
==History==
The Roller Coaster Corporation of America was established in 1979, but the president Michael Black had worked on wooden coaster construction project before, like the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Over Georgia in 1973, with his father Marvin Black and brother Stephen Black.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archive of RCCA Site - History )〕 The company prided itself in their manufacturing technique, which involved pre-manufacturing sections of the wooden structure and track at facilities off-site and then assembling on-site. This reduced what could otherwise be a year long construction project to around 6 months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archive of RCCA Site - Manufacturing )〕 In 1992, under the name Roller Coaster Corporation of Texas, they built the Rattler for Six Flags Fiesta Texas, which opened as the tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster in the world. However, the RCCA faced criticism for rushing through testing,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Letter from Dana Morgan )〕 and the ride's high forces led to numerous injuries during the first year of operation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rattler Incident Summary )〕
In 1997, the RCCA was approached by Paramount Kings Island to create the world's first wooden hyper coaster. The result of 3 years of planning and construction was Son of Beast, which opened in May 2000.〔 While reviews were initially positive, the ride deteriorated over the first year, leading to a lawsuit from Kings Island against the RCCA and some of their contractors for shoddy design and insufficient supports.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KI Sues over Son of Beast )〕 In response, the RCCA claimed that Kings Island had dismissed the company before construction was completed to save money and filed their own suit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coaster Firm Says Not Their Fault )〕
The RCCA built a handful of other coasters in the early 2000s, the most recent being Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid in 2002. Since then, they have not built anymore coasters, and it is unknown if the company still operates.
