ebl Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 ^ That's one of the nice things about being in Southern California. You have coasters open all year long. Eric
robbalvey Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 I am curious if you are a licensed PE or SE to say this comment with so much ease? Really, a drop tower can't be built at SFMM due to earthquake regulations? Yeah, because the Sky Tower and Superman are tiny. Because Knott's doesn't have a drop tower. Because DCA didn't have a space shot. Downtown LA ... US Bank Tower 1,018 feet = 10th tallest building in the US San Francisco ... Transamerica Pyramid 853 feet = 32nd tallest building in the US The reason SFMM doesn't have a drop tower is because they haven't chosen to build one. Not because of any regulations. Just because you're a civil engineer doesn't give you the right to be so snarky towards someone on our forums. It might have been nice to get actually some insight from you instead of attitude. And Joey is absoultely right. There are plenty of other locations in the world that are just as, if not more earthquake prone than Southern California. Hi, Blue Fall - a 330ft Intamin tower is not far from earthquake prone Tokyo. And yes, the reason why there isn't a drop tower at SFMM is because they just haven't put one in yet. --Robb
Gmaster562 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I need to head down for a trip. I'm having coaster withdrawals Thats when I sit in front of the computer and watch POV's all day!
kalikoasterman510 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I need to head down for a trip. I'm having coaster withdrawals Thats when I sit in front of the computer and watch POV's all day! Haha... I do the same thing! I haven't been on a coaster in over a year!! This is why I am going to WCB this year no matter what!
Chrisrad Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Anyone heading up to MM on Superbowl Sunday? I'm planning on going, but all of my friends are watching the game.. If anyone wants to meet up/plan something, let me know!
ebl Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 When is Super Bowl Sunday? Obviously I'm a big football fan... I'm thinking about heading out there one of these Sundays. Unfortunately I have yard work to do tomorrow (that I should have done today), so that's my plan instead of a day at SFMM. Eric
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 ^Clearly you should not have put off tomorrow what you could have done today...then you could have played...
robbalvey Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Anyone heading up to MM on Superbowl Sunday? There's a chance I might go do a photo lap.
Aussiebill Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 do you think park will be busy on Superbowl Sunday? we are visiting from Australia ,was there in 2008 rode Tatsu and one other ride then daughter didnt feel well after Superman so only got to do Goliath after that as it was our last day in USA before flying home that night Glad ypou guys are coming downunder i might happen to visit Luna Park in Melbourne when you guys get there as i have seen your trip reports you really know how to have fun thanks Bill
Guy T. Koepp Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I have been on a Superbowl Sunday. I am a football fan but, if no team that I have a vested interest in is at the Superbowl, I really have no interest in the game. In answer to your question, based on my knowledge, the crowds seemed pretty light. This year, I will be watching the game. Guy "Go Packers!" Koepp
X2coasterfreak Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 At the park right now, and Green Lantern track and supports are here behind Apocalypse!
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 ^Yay. I might go back to the park if this ride (GL) gets good reviews. Haven't been to the park since Sept '09, so we'll see.
cooksta77 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 ^^Great news. It's gonna look so right to see an Intamin in the park. -Cookie
GLund Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 At the park right now, and Green Lantern track and supports are here behind Apocalypse! Pics or it didn't happen. Of course I'm kidding. Thanks for the update!
cooksta77 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 ^I was gonna say the same but he said it was behind Terminator so he'd have to break the loose article policy and we wouldn't want that now would we? -Cookie
ebl Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Pictures or not, I believe him. It's about time for track to start arriving anyway. Also, Road Runner Express's track should still be there, right? It was the last time I was there. Eric
fugthisandfugthat Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I'm at the park right now and just got off of SkyTower and Pocky, No pieces whatsoever. Just kidding.
Midgetman82 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 ^Kidding about being at the park, or seeing pieces?
WFChris Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Jokes are no fun when you have to wonder what they are talking about.
DefinitiveDetour Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I was at the Park today... and Yes, some of the Intamin Zac-spin track has arrived + a few supports. A nice green in person!
robbalvey Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) ^I was gonna say the same but he said it was behind Terminator so he'd have to break the loose article policy and we wouldn't want that now would we? -Cookie And if anyone does, they will be banned from this site faster than Green Lantern can ZacSpin the puke out of them.

ebl Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 ^^ Somewhere in between Deja Vu green and Riddler green? Eric
Mechanic Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Would the new GL track be visible from the Sky Tower?
