Six Flags Magic Mountain Terminator Salvation: The Ride
rba13 replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
A co-worker went on Sunday and thought Terminator was just okay. She wasn't impressed with it, since it didn't have loops/corkscrews and was just "boring". Oh well, can't please everyone. -
Some valid points. There's all ready a carousel in a prime location not too far from there. A tower might be nice, but I think a tower would work better on a hill like on Samurai Summit. As for a water ride, I would like them to overhual Log Jammer with some serious theming. The more I think about it, just expand HH and be done with it.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was using shorthand internet speak. I will try harder not to in the future. -

Good points and good post. The forum needs more like you. -
It's not to "pull in people". It would something to get the heart rate up/blood flowing in anticipation. But, if it has to be a water ride. Just leave it in Hurricane Harbor. If you let people ride it in the off season at SFMM (in the cold); why would they waste money on a "bland" water park, just to ride it again at HH?

Six Flags needs a ride there where people looking from outside the gate/fence are salivating over. I don't think this water ride does that. Especially, what makes you so sure SFMM would run it during the HH off-season? Roarin' Rapids was closed for the Winter. I don't think SFMM wants to operate a ride that nobody wants to get on because it's too cold. If they do it, just leave it in HH permanently and be done with it.

IMO, the assigned seating gives people who are not as aggressive with demanding a certain seat a chance to experience a seat they would like, but are afraid to ask or were intimidated by more aggressive thrill seekers. Some people are just too polite for their own good. -

You hit the nail on the head. The theme makes perfect sense. -
In my opinion, it would be cool at first, but the novelty would wear off quickly. This goes for any park, not just Magic Mountain. It would be cool to live close to a park, but not next door to one, especially a major one. The constant noise, commotion, construction, traffic, etc. might get annoying after a while. Okay, let's just go with a Hotel and add a brand new theme park next door. People need a reason to extend their stay in the area. Make it a RESORT, not just a 6 hours and you're out roller coater park.
