Rocky Mountain Construction (short: RMC ) is an American manufacturer of roller coasters from Hayden , Idaho .
The manufacturer currently offers three roller coaster models: IBox Track (complete steel rail), Topper Track (wooden rail where the top layers of wood are replaced by steel) and Raptor Track (single steel rail instead of two side by side).
RMC is known for converting old wooden roller coasters and building in non-typical driving elements such as inversions for wooden roller coasters. The manufacturer's first system was the New Texas Giant , with the existing system ( Texas Giant ) being converted. Among other things, the old wooden rails with steel lining were replaced by new rails made entirely of steel.
