Yes this drop has potential to be the best drop on a Coaster ever! It could even be the best Coaster of all time. Now I know it's hard to answer this question seeing the ride hasn't opened yet. But does anyone think this may have potential by what we have seen to be Amusement Today's #1 steel coaster? Since NTAG was reconstructed in now ranks #5 of all steel coasters on earth. Do you guys think Iron Rattler could beat Millennium Force for the #1 Coaster spot? By what I've seen I think it can!

Oh wow that looks cool! those rides needed a paint job!

Holly **** that drop looks sick! I'm glad I'm only about 4 hours away from Fiesta...I will be there a lot this summer!

Sweet! Thanks for the update. I'm gonna go by the park tomorrow to see if anything new has happened.

Yeah I hate line jumping, but I'm sure it happens everywhere. And I know what you mean about rude patrons at SFOG. I went last spring and the experience was not good at all. Its a great park with great rides, but the staff and patrons are ghetto. As well as the area SFOG is located in, very ghetto.

I'm sure TSS will be open before memorial day. After all the park goes full schedule on like the 15th, or 16th of May and I'm sure it would be ready by that time. I'm gonna guess it opens in April, just like NTAG did.

I highly doubt it, but does anyone think TSS will be ready by opening day (March 2, 2013) or in April like NTAG was?

I dont know about you guys but I love New Texas Giant. And I know we all know about Iron Rattler opening this Spring in San Antonio, and Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City. But also a new rumor reports that the Magic Mountain park will get the Iron Horse treatment on Colossus in 2014, or 15. I'm sure these coasters will be amazing. And to think, it all started here in Texas with NTAG! It feels good knowing we were first! Because this Iron treatment is clearly the future of coasters, along with some others. So glad that Texas Giant will always be the first. Texas really is special.

If this Iron Colossus is true then I believe MM has made a great decision for the first time in a while. I live in Dallas and I can tell you New Texas Giant at SFOT is incredible. RMC did one hell of a job. It's currently the BEST coasters Ive ever been on and full of non stop airtime. Now they are working on Rattler in San Antonio which has potential to possible be a bit better then Giant...we shall see. If you live in SoCal and attend the MM park this is really something you will want to see happen to Colossus. MM needs a good airtime coaster and this is something they should not pass up. I hope this happens cause it will be good!

I totally agree with you. Every time I read these post or anything on MM (which is typical negative) I'm turned away from this place.

I proof read as well.....

Ha I see you were being a little jack wagon. Obviously I missed spelled definitely...no big deal. Everyone miss spells things here. I'm sure you have as well.

I will agree that MM has made some odd decisions. I've never been so I can't really comment on how the park is, but by what I've seen and read, they could use some improvements.

Yes we are getting off a bit. But for the record, New Texas Giant is awesome!

Lol yeah man if you are coming to Texas definitely check Fiesta Texas out, it's amazing. Then if you are up for it head North 4 hours to the Dallas/Arlington area for SFOT, it's just as good a Fiesta. However OT does have more rides.

Oh yes Great Adventure looks fun, especially with the new Safarie Off Road Adventure opening this year!

Lol Welcome to the SFMM Disscusion Thread!

Yeah Knott's looks very cool. Probably wouldn't go to Sea World seeing that we have one in Texas that I've been to. Also Disney sounds fun as well! Thanks for the info!

Right SFMM has a lot of records when it comes to their coaster. But like you said, Shows, Food, Flats they can't off. Im not sure why they don't as most SF parks offer all of those things. I will still give MM a chance, it's just not at the top of my list at this time.

I understand that Six Flags acquired the park in 79. But MM only became what it is today because of Six Flags. Without Six Flags it may not have been the same. So my point is SFOT inspired the creation of SFMM. And I have been doing my research on SF and MM for a while, and I understand that MM was scheduled to close years ago due to gang problems. I've also read and noticed that MM does not offer a wide range of rides and attractions. Basically just thrill rides. Which there is nothing wrong with that if that's what you like. I on the other hand love a good park with a variety of rides and attractions. I don't believe MM can offer that. I would love to make a trip to California, but if I do I think I would choose Discovery Kingdom over MM. Not trying to be rude here, just trying to understand how MM reports they are the best.

Ok I'm beginning to wonder after following this thread for a while and reading people's post how MM is best in guest satisfaction. It seems to me a lot of people disagree with that by what I'm reading. Yes I did read the report stating MM is the best in satisfaction, and revenue. Revenue I believe is because they are the only year round park in the chain while most parks are closed 2 months or longer. And the part of the report that basically said MM is the flagship of the chain....I think not. There is no question that SIx Flags Over Texas, the original is the flagship. I mean hell without OT there is no MM.

Thanks for the info man. Yeah you should go Sunday! The crowds were extremely light today. Every coaster that was open, including Giant was a walk on! Loved it!

Hey guys need help with this one. I'm out here at Six Flags today and I've noticed the coasters are moving a tad bit slower then usual. Trust me, I would know, I've been out here more then 50 times this season. So my question is do colder temps affect the speed of the rides?

This coaster is coming along great. I can not wait to ride it. I have no doubt that this coaster will win the best new ride of 2013 award. No doubt!

Thanks for the update. I too really love the Giants new loading procedure. Also I can't wait for Skyscreamer, it's gonna be awesome!
