That joke is so 2003 and was not really that funny way back then

Ebl, there will be no Parking Structure at SFMM EVER! It will cost between $18000 to $30000 per space(per car) to be build. Even considering a minor (above ground) 3000 space garage will be in the millions that would make it not viable to the park

Two new rumors about the mountain on screamscape: AND

Knotts is not going to get closed down for this but honestly, I am glad this Video got out as otherwise they would have tried to cover it up, which certainly would not have helped at all This way a detailed investigation will be launched so something like this will hopefully not happen again I mean, the seat tilted at the end to the side, cables/debris flying all around. On this one the park really got lucky as a lot and I mean A LOT worse could have happend

You can always take over the Batman overflow line/old backstage nightclub in addition to the Tidal Wave and Freefall area which makes it a rather big junk of land in the middle of the park

Btw, the you tube video was taken down(guess cedar fair lawyers woke up), but knbc already has it on there own server and it is still up. You know it will be on the 4,5,6,10,11pm news today... http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local-beat/Knotts-Berry-Farm-Rollercoaster-Accident-Injures-Guests-59751017.html

RC Freak, disgusting might not have been the right word(I am european afterall, so bad choice of words) And I certainly dont think you are "disgusting" because you laugh at the video Just at the point when I saw it, we did not know what happend to the kid(as it seemed something in the leg area was not right). As you said, It could have been a lot worse and with no legit newsreport(still?!?!) I guess we can assume nothing major happend It's just that things like this should not happen, not to me, you, that boy or anyone else. Not to be preaching or anything(after all, we are on the same team), but(you know there was a but coming,lol)I dont think we should make light of this particular situation as plenty of coasters with the same system are still operating and same thing can happen again with (hopefully not) a worse outcome

A maga light, little themed, please! One can only hope I guess..

For those of you who think it is funny, asking that the park should have a second cable avail in case of this happens or find it so hilarious to dub the video.... Honestly? We watch something where people got kinda lucky that nothing worse happend. I would like to see you guys on that train and see how YOU would have reacted Thankfully everyone on that ride is ok, but to make light of the situation is (sorry to say) rather disgusting

From what I understand the cable snapped and on the way back hit the kids legs. How come this is not in the news though? Usually someone sneezes in the line for X2, we have a special report on "Swine Flue scare at Magic Mountain" headlining the broadcast

Guess Xcelerator's cable snapped again... Mod Edit: Pending further news, we've decided to take the video and any link to it off the site. You can still discuss the incident, but the video will not be up on TPR. Thanks for understanding.

If they would take out Tidal Wave, I sure hope it would be for something like Buccaneer Battle The mountain gets hot as hell in the summer and this would be a great family ride to cool off Plus it is a rather pretty ride that would sprouse up the area a lot

Plus dont the season pass renewal usually come with the announcement for the "new for 2010" attraction?

Here is the video of that base jump from Superman. Certainly something I would never do-.-

Dang, you have to much time on your hand, but have to say that I LOVE THE GRAPHIC! According to Screamscape, the idea for the 50th Six Flags Anniversary is to bring the ride rotation program back aka every park is sending a gift to another park of the chain So let's get out imagination go wild.... I would trade Riddler(which I love) for El Torro...

I know, should have said "Almost October", these months just pass so fast when you have fun

...if the ride would be at Disneyland it would have gone to the same resting place Rocket Rods are these days... Edit: Changing topic a little, it is almost September and no signs of anything "new for 2010", should we assume the "coaster" is cancelled? Just wondering..

Trust me on that one, the mid course break did not "almost stop the train" you when it first opend, it was rather intense There is a video of Goliath in 2000 POV, here on TPR http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22603 As you can see, the midcourse break slowed the trains down but not even close to on how it is done these days. Plus on Media Day they were even less "on"

I was there for Goliath opening pressevent when it was pouring down rain and the midcourse brake hardly touched the train. GForces were insane that day, will never forget it!

There are also "wind sensors" on both Terminator and X2, that will automatically shut down the fire, so this might also be a reason why it works some days and not on others

I read on some messageboard that La Ronde is kinda cheating as they have people with portable laptops at the rides exit and ask guests to vote for the coaster Kinda makes sense as there is no way people would vote just 32 % for X2

I thought they already confirmed that they will annaunce the new addition on Labor Day. No?

There was no twitter or facebook really to hype these rides the way they can do so now-a-days

Screw a suspended wooden coaster, i like the Megawhip on the gordonrides website, turn the sucker on 50 mph and you have one heck of a ride!

Nobody in there right mind would stand ín the line of Terminator and say that they did a good job revamping Psyclone yet it happens every day... Stranger things have happend...
