singemfrc Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I heard from a couple people that there is a crane working on X2 today..perhaps the new chain is being installed and it might reopen by the end of the year.
dannyboy13 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 6 ft, 245 lbs and no issues at all with the leg restraints on either FT or SM:UF
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I heard from a couple people that there is a crane working on X2 today..perhaps the new chain is being installed and it might reopen by the end of the year. From what I've heard X2 could possibly reopen this weekend but things can happen so that could change. I've heard the park wants to get X2 open before the holidays.
dylanreich Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Let's just go to OTSR's, the leg restrains are really bad.
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 If anyone was wondering this is all that remains.
Someotherguyuser Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Wow. I never realized that tree took up so much space. They could definitely fit a kid's coaster there.
Sir Clinksalot Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 There are rumors that the store there is going away as well to make room for the kiddie coaster. Kind of interesting that they wouldn't take out both at the same time ... but it is SFMM. Although it's possible the store could be used for the queue/exit store as well.
dylanreich Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Although it's possible the store could be used for the queue/exit store as well. I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T do something like that, we all know how much they love tearing things down and starting fresh.
gisco Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Kind of opens up the area with out the tree. Hope they have a nice plan for the area.
tony_1 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Found this with some Magic pagoda pics http://vintage-ads.livejournal.com/3718909.html
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Kind of opens up the area with out the tree. Hope they have a nice plan for the area. Â Â Painting parking lot stripes.
Wes Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Found this with some Magic pagoda pics http://vintage-ads.livejournal.com/3718909.html  Soooooo very 70's.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Kind of opens up the area with out the tree. Hope they have a nice plan for the area. Â Â Painting parking lot stripes. Â This sounds like a Six Flags plan. They'll probably put a special "Parking Lot Stripe" gift shop to walk through too.
Will Nolte Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Just a note on YOLOcoaster: I rode it twice for the Midnight Riders thing (I haven't been back to the park since), and the lap bar was useless. I came completely out of my seat and was only held in by the restrains on my shins/calves. It wouldn't surprise me if it got seat belts. Â Pretty sure you're SUPPOSED to come out of your seat like that. I figured that was supposed to happen. I wasn't complaining about it. But I am sure some safety nazi would, that is why I wouldn't be surprised if it got belts. Â I liked the ride. That is why I rode it twice when I had the chance.
singemfrc Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Well the seat belt additions aren't limited to SFMM, Superman at SFDK got seat belts added as of today. I'm sure YOLO will get them soon.
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Well the seat belt additions aren't limited to SFMM, Superman at SFDK got seat belts added as of today. I'm sure YOLO will get them soon. I'll confirm that in a moment currently in line.
_IntaMAN_ Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 If Full Throttle got seat belts that would be slightly disappointing as it ran great without them and had some awesome dispatch times. Oh well, Six Flags is gonna Six Flags.
singemfrc Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 If YOLOcoaster got seat belts that would be slightly disappointing as it ran great without them and had some awesome dispatch times. Oh well, Six Flags is gonna Six Flags.Yeah basically. Since SUF got belts and it has identical trains, and another coaster at SFMM got it, I think it's safe to conclude that YoloCoaster will get them at some point.
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Full Throttle now has seat belts!
_IntaMAN_ Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Pretty much confirms things. Six Flags is really over-exaggerating some times. Sheesh.
BotanicalStig Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 When the other option is OTSR's I don't understand the complaints. Â If the GP doesn't feel safe they wont show up to the parks. With the recent incident, SF is just trying to make the rides "safer". Even though we know a seatbelt isn't necessary, the GP doesn't. They're the ones who fill the parks up every day, not us. Â Cedar Fair typically has seat belts on their coasters... and yet... nobody seems to care.
RollerCoasterAwesome Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 My problem with seat belts is dispatch times which have nearly doubled if not trippled in length on Full Throttle.
Vonni Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Titan at SFOT got seatbelts as well, for those of you who were curious if that would happen or not.
GigaG Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Cedar Fair typically has seat belts on their coasters... and yet... nobody seems to care.  Because CF can dispatch at a decent pace with them  In all seriousness, they have gotten rid of the belts on Bat (Flight Deck) and BLSC at Kings Island.
