^To enthusiasts, no, but the GP eat that stuff up, I guess it was neglected too, but if anything deserves a new ride it's CGA, stupid noise restrictions

^If you're talking about Superman, Ninja, Skytower and company, take the magical staircase down to Tatsu

I still don't think it's fair how Carowinds gets 2 major coasters in 2 years, and CF neglects their western parks, and when they do add something it's crappy like "poopy" express.....but who cares? Once a Magic Mountain fanboy always a Magic Mountain fanboy

Terminator Salvation the ride, Saw the Ride, Pepsi Max Big One, Italian Job Stunt Track, anything with product placement!

I've seen people walking up the sidewalk to the park, maybe when you get near the ticket booth it kinda vanishes, but that's when you walk through the x2 parking lot!

^Oh so they were changed, thanks for that

Hey just for the record, now there are 3 reasons why the inverted tophat on sfmm's dream 500 foot accelerator wouldnt work!

1 (Goliath) 2 if S:tE counts, and 3 if you count both sides! My friend has been on Kingda Ka twice though...lucky her

Hey does Intamin keep their factory more covert? Because you never hear anything about it and their rides do pop out of no where...I think, I havent been a coasternerd long enough to see a mysterious intamin thread

Red one's gonna be Carowind's Mega coaster, and the yellow one is going to my backyard, problem solved

^haha either I'm an idiot, or they do a really good job at hiding the magic pole, I'd go with option 1

Yeah I'm wondering how great it's gonna be, because I never thought the old one looked bad at all, so I'm betting the new one will be cooler than a 500 foot tall B&M dive machine/aquatrax combination

^Oh crap my bad, the wrong link got copied, let me fix that Edit: Link Fixed

I honestly think that sfmm transitioning to a family park could drive it bankrupt. Sure the a hole teens are annoying, but they are the ones keeping the park afloat. It'll take many years to change the park's image, hell a couple years ago my parents were afraid to let me go because of the gang problem. If the teens stop going cause the park is too lame, and the families don't go because they still thing the gangs and bad teens are there, then you have yourself a bankrupt park

^Possibly a 500 foot dive machine with the world's largest splash down?

I was in the car going home today and I noticed a billboard with a giant firebreathing dragon with the text saying Nightastic (it also said Disneyland on the billboard too ). When I got home I did a quick google search and came across this I'm still not totally sure what's going on and what is actually a major improvement, which is why I'm wondering if anyone else has information on this, or would like to comment on it.

Ah man that MF picture of the two hills would even be hotter with a train, but still awesome pictures, and the nerd shot!

What if lightening stuck it while going, the rails had extra friction, and coaster god felt like getting people stuck upside down? Haha but in all honestly, if it wasnt an issue wouldnt intamin have already done an inverted top hat by now?

^It's so funny how amazingly SF gets away with X2 but nothing else, I also knew someone who thought x2 and x were different

^that is a valid point, but even with that the motor could fail in the worst case scenario

^Stealth has at least twice as well

I do know that, but those use LIM propulsion and not Hydraulic Propulsion, the chances of a rollback or stall are much higher with hydraulic launches, LIMs not so much

The problem with building a strata coaster in StE's spot is the superstructure it needs, and how much wider it is. I'm pretty sure they could just clear some brush around where StE is now so that's not a problem, but the structure needed to support a strata is much larger than StE's structure. So you'd either have to build it on the path that goes under StE, in Goliath's queue, or On the Highly uneven mountain, all of which are bad ideas Edit: and an upside down tophat just plain old wouldnt work, if the ride gets stuck up there, you've got a very dangerous or at least highly uncomfortable situation at the least.

These are definitely some of the better CP pictures I've seen, I can tell you were really trying for some of those shots

I figured it'd be rick roll, but clicked it anyways for fun!
