rcjp Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 So it looks like you are going to go over the loop and then the car just stops? Maybe I am confused. The ride looks as if they just gave up during design. It should have gone on a little bit longer. Now that would make things a bit more interesting. Still, I expect it to be a rather fun ride.
MylesG4L Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 So I'm the only one who wouldn't mind that "pulling effect" heading straight for the breaks at the end?
netdvn Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Nothing wrong with a short coaster. Especially one that packs a punch. And knowing Premier, this ride will most definitely pack some sort of punch. - Even if MM has a habit of adding them. YOLO!
XYZ Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 ^I agree with Dan. I prefer a shorter, more intense roller coaster than a longer, less intense roller coaster. Plus, with all this unused space, I can see future attractions being added into that area.

willh51 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 That station looks like a temporary outhouse, but whatever. Those open areas/building without a wall directly behind the turn into the station. What are they and are they going to be part of the queue? That is going to be an intense launch, though, and I it appears it will go zoom right out of the station. I was imagining a short trip forward first. That it looks like you'll hit the final turn going 75 miles per hour, encountering 10 lateral g's, may even add to the excitement.
Jerome Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Although you'd think a longer roller coaster would be a better fit to take up the whole space. What your not seeing is all the room left on the hill for another roller coaster or a water ride. They do have plans to build more on the hill.

I have constantly been thinking of the best way(s) to extend the ride! Looking at how compact The Smiler is going to be, there is definitely room for it.
jray21 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Jet Streams water ... the true definition of YOLO That loop looks massive! Looks like there are tons of great spots to photograph it. Can't wait to see more.
Vonni Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I've been wondering what could go by/around YOLOcoaster that wouldnt involve some major escavating?
Randomman295 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I've been wondering what could go by/around YOLOcoaster that wouldnt involve some major escavating? Knowing SFMM, this probably isn't very hard to guess: "MOAR KOSTRZ" ...In another year at the very least. Mark my words, it's pretty much the only place they can fit another coaster. I'm a little disappointed about FT's station so far. Forgive me for the comparison to CP once again, but the station really looks like it's going to be a lot like Gatekeepers: Bland and unoriginal. Looking forward to the track, not the ride as a whole.
netdvn Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I'm a little disappointed about FT's station so far. That station looks like a temporary outhouse, but whatever. I hope you guys DO realize that the station is just an unfinished platform right now. I doubt Magic Mountain is gonna leave the station like that, especially when they enclosed Green Lantern and Drop of Doom. - I swear to God they'll finish it. I swear!
coasterfreak101 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Mark my words, it's pretty much the only place they can fit another coaster. Do we have to go through this yet again? There are four high-quality roller coasters in this picture of Grona Lund. Parks don't ever have "one spot" and they aren't all "running out of room" because if they want a roller coaster, and it's going to make them money, they will find the room for it. http://www.parkworld-online.com/files/AUGSEPT/TWSITER_RGB.jpg
Randomman295 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 ^Allow me to restate that. *Mark my words, it's pretty much the only place they can fit another record-breaking triple-launched ultra-forceful yet still overhyped Six-Flags branded coaster. SFMM is never going to get to the level of compact quality that Grona Lund mastered, especially with the "GO BIG OR GO HOME" mentality of their general public audience.
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 ^ No it's not. SFMM has PLENTY of space. That station looks like a temporary outhouse, but whatever. Those open areas/building without a wall directly behind the turn into the station. What are they and are they going to be part of the queue? That's the old Queue/Station building for Log Jammer. It will not be a part of the crew. Not sure what they are going to do with it though. It may end up a retail location. I'd imagine they'll put a wall up or something to close it off there.

That's not true, they can remove *insert coaster that sucks here* and sell it to Darien Lake. Then put the coaster where Darien Lake's new coaster used to be.
rcjp Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Does anyone have a clue on how long we'll have to wait for the first test runs?
singemfrc Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 X2 ERT on Sunday for SP holders..man I wish I was in town this weekend
FrightFest1408 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Does anyone have a clue on how long we'll have to wait for the first test runs? Trains are to arrive anyday now.. so expect it to test soon enough.
Randomman295 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Is anybody going to SFMM today or tomorrow? I'm really looking forward to seeing what the trains look like.
bostonlva Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Is anybody going to SFMM today or tomorrow? I'm really looking forward to seeing what the trains look like. Hopefully @premierrides tweets a photo of the trains
SFMMGeek27 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. I will take pictures of anything interesting.
MylesG4L Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Is anybody going to SFMM today or tomorrow? I'm really looking forward to seeing what the trains look like. I just read that the trains shall arrive this weekend! I hope it's true!
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Even if the trains arrive this weekend doesn't mean they'll be out on the track this weekend or even out at the site.
