The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Tmcdllr]

Heading to SFMM in about a hour to see the hypnotist show at Golden Bear. Word is place is PACKED PACKED PACKED .... but is what it is... might go on Sky Tower for a sunset ride ... How about a zip line from Sky Tower ... lower level is open isn't it and would be easy for platform to be placed and zip to lets say towards old Deja Vue area then back to base of sky tower.

 

Now THAT would be a cool upcharge attraction.... I would do it for sure!

 

You could do so many things with it, have the zip line go all over the place, maybe even through the pretzel loop on Tatsu.... awesome!

I really hope its for a sky screamer I really don't think it's for Full Throttle though because it would look so silly with rainbow supports lol especially going around the mountain, it just wouldn't look right

 

People said the same thing about Tatsu when they saw the color scheme. And it looks fine. Don't knock something colorful just because it's colorful.

Good point but Tatsu's color scheme isn't as loud and crazy as those colors in the picture and can you really imagine all of those bright colors around the mountain, it would just look so out of place

So by seeing just a few random pieces of nothing you think FT could have 'rainbow' supports?

 

^Guy, you have a good point there Sir.

No someone said that the mystery sticks looked like the supports for I305 and Skyrush

They looked nothing like I305 supports when I saw them! They didn't even look like Intamin supports!

That's what I'm saying! They look like sky screamer supports

[Manic Monte]

I hope they do add a Screamer. I really enjoyed the one at Great Adventure, and I have to say, they seem REALLY popular with the gp.

[Pacificoaster]

I think one would be great as well.

[FrightFest1408]

I have clips of the supports from today. Indeed they do look like Intamin Supports! Go Check it on my Youtube!

[Angry_Gumball]

Everyone knows that these colorful beams are going to be for the rainbow bench plaza sponsored by Skittles. The Rainbow Bench Plaza will feature several colorful Bench: The Ride attractions for higher capacity reasons.

 

In all seriousness, regardless of Knotts having their WindSeeker and SFDK having their Sky Screamer, having a flat ride/non coaster ride come into Magic Mountain seems to be a good move. I tend to like seeing well-rounded parks that have a bit of everything, gives it a more complete feeling.

[megalyte]

After watching the above mentioned video, I am 99.9% sure those are Intamin supports. There are a couple rainbow colored supports and a bunch of black ones. There are also some Y-Shaped supports that are black.

 

FrightFest1408, Maybe you could post some screen shots of the close up you did? Or embed the video...

[Nicholas Loya]

those definatley do look like intamin supports

Relax guys, they're just giving in and bringing back the old Metro.

[Guy T. Koepp]

That stuff looks way more water park-y. I'll bet it's something for HH.

[ItsHowIRollercoaster]

See, you guys doubted me, but they really do look like Intamins!

Also, i was with Psyclonechoaskid(SFMMCrazy) Today. It was worth the drive just for this, but Lex Luthor was definitely a nice touch

[Angry_Gumball]

Black supports?

Seem to be identical in shape.

 

Ladder-like structure on ground?

Same looking ladder structure inside tower.

[ItsHowIRollercoaster]

They do SEEM to be, but if you look closely they are different.

[FrightFest1408]

See? They're clearly not sky screamer supports.

[Manic Monte]

LOL... Let the speculation begin!

[ItsHowIRollercoaster]

I have a feeling that people are going to go crazy with speculation, and it's going to end up being something really obvious.

[bottom_feeder_13]

Those aren't Intamin's, there aren't any visible bolt holes in the flanges which leads me to believe that this is a water park addition as Guy said. Also the shape is subtly different and those cluster ones don't resemble those of any Intamin since MF's first overbank.

[kylexy2298]

I'm going to agree with Guy here, and say its something for SFHH. Hopefully this will be put in Flashback's spot.

[Pacificoaster]

From those screens I would now say it ISN'T a Sky Screamer. The flanges would obstruct the path of wheels scaling the tower. I'll just sit back for now until another shipment comes in.

[darklingscribe]

Perhaps the record they are going for is Holiday World's one for the World's longest watercoaster. It starts in HH and makes it's way to the Log Jammer area and, after a few elements, returns

[Manic Monte]

Sky Screamer or not, these look like RIDE pieces, not coaster. But we'll see...

[Schotcher]

Face it, the park just bought random beams from a random manufacturer and layed them out in plain sight so that someone would find them and start speculating as to what it could be. Well played, well played.

[3Mutts]

I'm going to have to say that this dose look like a water park addition or maybe they really ARE trying to get us in a guessing frenzy
