SFMMGeek27 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Just walked past a group of kids blatently smoking a blunt in front of the ticket booths. Really? Lol If it’s not inside the park or past security, security won’t do much. Inside the park is another story. As a ride op I’ve had to go searching for people who we could smell smoking before, and it’s quite an interesting process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just covering the media event at the moment as that is the focus of today. And with an absolutely CraZy amount of confetti, CraZanity is officially OPEN! According to Evan, the ride is fantastic! We highly recommend coming to the park and taking a spin on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Not to detract from Crazanity opening, but I spy an excavator doing some demo on what looks like a building. Also looks like there is a piece of apocalypse track missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The world needs more giant frisbee rides. Crazanity looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth Hurts Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I didn't think i'd like CRAZANITY because spinning swing rides upset the tum tum. But it was GREAT! Can't wait to take the Family so they can ride it. Also waiting to see the big reveal for that area. My brother is working back there tearing it up and has to keep a tight lip on the going on's!

Arthur_Seaton Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 ^ Oooo...you're closer to my age! So if you can take Crazanity that gives me hope I can actually ride this. The spinning isn't bad. I'm not a fan of spinning rides either, and this one's much more of a rotation — especially once it get moving fast. It also changes rotation direction midway through. For me, what makes it more intense than the other giant frisbees I've ridden (Cedar Point / Kings Island) is that the positive / negative forces seem higher. The downswing is quite forceful, and the angle of seats, combined with the angle of the arc, makes it feel more like some weird variant of ejector-hangtime. On other giant frisbees, it's more like a graceful swoop followed by a ton of floater air. This one feels much more aggressive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E. Robert Pugh Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Hey guys! As Robb said, I was at the media event today! It was super fun and the ride is GREAT! I've never been a big flat rides guy but this might change my mind about that position. It had good positive g's to go along with some nice floater airtime. It's also insanely rerideable because it doesn't spin a whole bunch. And then they fed us! Overall, it's a great addition to a park that'd been sorely missing a flat ride like this. It's now high up on my list of top rides at the park and I can't recommend it enough. On top of that, they did a great job revitalizing the whole area from Johnny Rockets to the bathrooms over near Scrambler. Everything looks refreshed and nearly brand new after years of feeling a little unloved. Great job SFMM! About to get on! The aftermath. Glad I wasn't part of that clean up crew. Yes, that IS a funnel cake burger. Never in my life had I thought, "Gee, this funnel cake needs more meat," but it actually tasted pretty good. Lunch spread. It was pretty good! So much confetti!! You really do get some cool views of the park from up there. Haulin' buns! Neil layin' down the deets. He did a great job with his speech and seems really excited about this ride. Swallowin' Swords, stealin' hearts. They had a bunch of performers around to entertain us! For some reason, they broke out the steampunk stuff. The Sign! We made it! Just to show you how mammoth this thing is. It's way bigger in person than I expected! One last look at all the fancy new things. They did a great job with this area and I'm super excited to see what they're gonna do to Cyclone Bay! Edited July 13, 2018 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComeRideWithMe Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I saw the picture above and thought, "Oh cool! Blue rocks!" But found out it's confetti. Anyways, y'all are gonna love this ride. I love the one here at SFOT and imo it's the scariest ride we have. And y'alls is taller! Scuuuuurrrry. But the one we have here is down quite a bit, hope it goes different for y'all. The lighting alone is so eye catching, then you have this big disc swinging. I love these rides. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterInk Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Looks like you guys had a fun day, and the video you made had some really nice camera angles! Really shows how massive the ride was. Can't wait to get out there and try it myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprkn_ranger Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There is going to be a good bit of usable land back there. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do. Also, I’m curious as to what the extents of apocalypse work is being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedtatsu805 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm gonna call it. RMC Raptor, but with a first of it's kind twist on it. Like the first Hyper Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_IntaMAN_ Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 ^ All but confirmed to be a Mack spinner. SFMM and SFGAm the only SF parks next year getting major attractions. Prepare for a dif SFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJ Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Once the landscaping comes in, will be an improvement for the area. Big surprise was funnel cake burger! I can start diet next year, that looked really good. SFMM really did need a ride on like this for a long time. I think the new area could support quite a few interesting options and may be developed for a few years. If it is the mack spinning coaster, time traveler, hope they don't go just 5 feet higher and say world's tallest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shut It Down Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Personally I’m kind of hoping it’s not a Spinner, but I can see the commercials now claiming “worlds tallest spinning coaster” If you live in Southern California you know exactly what commercials I’m talking about lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
