Tough choice really. For my first ride I'd probably have to go with Daft Punk though. I'd definitely have to ride multiple times until I rode with all the songs I like.

Exactly.

This is why I absolutely hate the demographic SFMM attracts. I know not all of them are bad, but there's enough to piss me off. They can't just let nice things be, they just HAVE to destroy things. WHY? What purpose does it serve? It's not impressive, it just pisses people off and makes things look like crap. I know it's to be expected at a park like SFMM, but the point is that it shouldn't be. Management shouldn't need to cover the speakers and put barriers between guests and theming. It's ridiculous that there are human beings ignorant enough to warrant such action. Everything these days must be protected because of stupid people, it's rather disheartening.

^ That's awesome! I'm gonna have to get one real soon.

Really can't wait to ride. I'm going to try to make it this week. Just for the record, the ride does NOT feature Christian Bale threatening to trash the lights? Lame.

LMAO, the line at the end was the best!

I'd like it better if they stressed the metal panels on the station. Completely unscathed metal sheets on a building in a post apocalyptic world featuring machines bent on destroying humanity just doesn't seem plausible. Guess I just gotta take what I can get though. (At least hit the panels a few times with some sledgehammers and throw mud on them or something.)

^ Ah Eric, I can always count on you for a good laugh.

^^ I'm curious about that too. I'm assuming it'll be a bit of music/voices/sound fx all mixed together throughout the ride. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks Robb! Can't wait to see it!

^^ That is one of the best posts on TPR I have seen in a very long time. Thank you.

^ I'm sure we'll see/hear something on the matter soon.

^ He means free for as long as the average time it should take someone to travel through the line, get on the ride, and get back to the lockers to remove their items.

Nice update Robb. Speaking of emailing Dan for a bag-of-crap, I never got my box-of-crap from like almost two months ago

^ I'm really hoping for a Giant Frisbee. Although ultimately, I'd be happy with just about any new flats, they're what really helps to complete a park.

Well Tim did let slip during the Q&A that he is currently talking (working?) with Intamin. I found that QUITE interesting, especially considering the fact that most people tend to think that SFMM would never work with Intamin again after S: TE.

I agree. They could even find a way to work it in around the former Batman theater, since there is going to be a skating/biking stunt show there before long. It seems like it would be a nice family friendly addition to the park.

Tim said during the backstage tour that he has no plans to actually animate any of the Terminator figures. They'll pretty much just be standing props. While it WOULD be really cool to have animatronic Terminators, it's just way beyond the budget of SFMM for now I'd imagine, seeing as it certainly wouldn't be cheap to do so.

I brought my D60 with me, I got some pretty nice shots. I have yet to transfer them to the computer, but when I get around to it, I'll post a few of the really nice ones.

Edit: Links no longer work.

Awesome! I was right. Can't wait for my big-ol BOX-o-Crap!

I sent in a guess too. It seemed plausible, but perhaps I was wrong.

^Oh god I hope so! The techno remix is so awesome.

I sent in an answer and a picture to Dan for that question of what used to be in that spot. I'm pretty sure, but not 100% positive I'm right. I won't say here just in case I'm right though. No cheaters.

^They've pretty much always been that way with updating construction pages. You'll always get much more up-to-date pictures and info here.
