[COASTER FREAK 11]

Its a single train they are shipping around the country.

[singemfrc]

From what I've heard they've been running BTR with one train...I assume the other (or one of the others? Cant remember if it has 2 or 3 total) is being fitted with the namtab chassis. I sure wish the park would officially announce the start date so I can book my flight.

[DJeXeL]

B:TR only has 2 trains. The reason for 1 train operation currently is because the other forward facing train has been removed so the backwards train can be assembled on the maintenance track.

[GigaG]

Does Namtab run with two trains? Are both backwards?

[DanM64]

Yes. There are 2 backwards train chassis. It took awhile for SFGAm to get it running with 2, so I can only imagine how long SFMM will take!!

[DJeXeL]

It'll be up and running before "Speedy Gonzales blah blah blah" is built.

[singemfrc]

Thanks for that clarification, I didn't realize there were two backwards chassis. I wonder if they will probably start doing the first one now and then start doing The second one after the first one is up and running

[VCXfreak]

Nice................ i'll be ready for NAMTAB! Just dealing with the spring breakers is not going to be fun!

When it comes to the 20 coasters/Colossus refurb thing, my take is this: They will announce another coaster will open just as Colossus is shut down, so that keeps the count at 19, when Colossus reopens it is 20. Big celebration...until they shut down Revolution for refurbishment just in time for its big anniversary. Then they get to do the 20th coaster celebration again along with the anniversary celebration...

Just where I've always wanted to spend my time - at a sports bar with the Magic Mountain clientele.

Was this in a SFMM email? I cant find it…

 

Also from screamscape

 

I reached out to Sue Carpenter at Six Flags Magic Mountain this week to find out more about the Mooseburger Lodge project. According to Sue the old Mooseburger is no more. Starting March 22nd, when the park opens for daily operations, the restaurant will reopen as Full Throttle Sports Bar & Grill. The inside will have been completely gutted and renovated with a new sports enthusiast theme, with over 20 HDTV’s added to broadcast sports events to you from every direction.

Smart move for SFMM. There's probably a lot of parents who will be hanging out there all day while their teenage kids ride the coasters.

I'll be there to class up the joint

[gisco]

Sports bar in SFMM? Not sure how this will go over. Just seems so out of place.

[DJeXeL]

^YOLO!

[Manic Monte]

Sports bar in SFMM? Not sure how this will go over. Just seems so out of place.

 

And that's exactly why I think it's a good idea. I know I'll be tempted to stop in there, where as before? Probably not.

[singemfrc]

Have to add to the agrees here...I've never been that tempted to stop by Mooseburger before but I'm very intrigued about this new sports bar. I'll certainly stop by the next time I'm there. The big question is will any of us go back a second time?

[VCXfreak]

Oh Good God! I can see it now, beer brawl on the local Kcal 9 news. Something about this just isn't sitting well with me, but you bet i will be ready on 3/22/2014 for naMtaB The Revenage!

[WFChris]

I always liked Mooseburger Lodge, good food, free drink refills, and only like a buck or two more expensive than the 'quick service' places. Oh, and the A/C.

 

I don't think a sports bar is so out of place, I agree with Jew that the marketing is probably geared toward the adult parents that need a place to chill all day. A sports bar is much more appealing to a...lets be honest here...parent in their late 20's early 30's than a place with a moose that sings every 15 minutes (as much as I liked the strangely detailed themeing).

[Jew]

Honestly, for future West Coast Bashes...I'll totally be spending my entire day in that bar, rather than actually being in the park while we wait between events!

[JeromyL]

ROFL. I will still spend some extra time in the park, but I feel ya on this one. If probably be in there for an extended amount of time myself

[Woodie Warrior]

Seems like every park in the chain is going to receive a sports bar (I know that SFGAm got one last year and SFSTL is getting one this year). I think it is a smart move and should be an improvement over Mooseburger (even though I do like the Mooseburger at my home park). Parkgoers in their twenties will be hungry and be immediately drawn to the new bar. It has sports on TV, it has higher quality food, and it has beer. Plus, it will cost more, therefore making more money for the park.
