The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

^^^^ ya the one they put in the park and another one in your pants after you see the glorious one they put in the park.

Wow...the drop towers rumors hit and stuck. Somebody had to have a strong source early on. I'm guessing to tower or towers aren't going in Deja Vu's spot, so the question is, what is?

[RAWKIN_coaster38]

I really can't wait for the announcements! SFMM and SFDK both announcing their 2012 plans? I think I'm going to die from anticipation!

 

Does anyone know what time the announcements will be? Is it going to be live anywhere? Like someone else said, I've always heard the plans after they're announced, so I have no idea how this works.

Please be an Intamin, please be an Intamin, please be an Intamin, please be an Intamin! As long as whatever they're building is Intamin, I'll be super exited! I've never been so exidet for an anouncement before!

Does anyone else remember, Mr. six peaking in and out of a curtain, on the SFMM website when they were going to announce the Tastu attraction?

[Sir Clinksalot]

I think it's a drop tower as well ... but I don't think that's the only thing.

 

Drop tower is going up on Samurai Summit somewhere

 

As to what else ... it's either a new coaster or Big Spin going from SFDK to Deja Vu's spot.

 

Maybe Six Flags ordered more than one Wing Rider?

 

Although, I have to say I think it'd be nice if SFDK got something really cool for next year ... at least something cool enough to make me want to take a trip up there next year.

Hey everyone, what would the crowds be like this Friday night?

[Zeppelinfreak]

^Not too bad I wouldn't think since some schools have already started. But you never really know.

[Silvano Perez]

I cant wait! Im going to be going online every 30 minutes just to check for the announcments!

[John Knotts]

I'm trying to keep my expectations as low as possible, so anything decent will satisfy me. The Green Lantern part of last year's announcement really surprised me, in a good way. Can they do it again?

[cooksta77]

Wingrider? No I think it's a drop tower but a Furious Baco or Maverick is what i'm dreaming for.

Lex Luthor Drop of Doom

Edited September 1, 2011 by chickenbowl

[John Knotts]

OMFG!

[DefinitiveDetour]

oh hells yes!

[DefinitiveDetour]

I'm going on record and if this actually happens i'll reveal the source later. Expect not one but two towers to be erected. I'm not sure if its a combo tower, or two single structures but a source (not the dippn dots guy) mentioned having to erect two towers at the park...lets see whats announced.

 

 

Nice work.

[chickenbowl]

Tallest and fastest Drop Tower in the world.... 85 mph.

[Arkhamar]

Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom.....YEESSSSS!!!! I approve!!

[jarmor]

Im wondering why it took this long to do this conversion.....

[PSiRockin]

That is tall. The anxiety going up that

[SFMM fanboy]

OMFG! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

[CoasterGuy06]

16 people per cycle? That's two "low capacity" rides in a row for such a big park.

[jarmor]

But...But...its intamin.

[Arkhamar]

And Freefall scared the crap out of me at just 10 stories high. Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom will be 4x that!!!

[X2coasterfreak]

Holy poo poo this is insane. So I guess I will finally get my Intamin droop tower credit
