harper83087 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 ^Great news! I was waiting to hear when WCB was happening, I'm definitely going to try to make it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm not a huge fan of spinning coasters but a terrain spinner in that area might be kind of cool concept and be a type of coaster the magic Mountain doesn't have. It would also be another great family style ride that would be unique to their existing lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 ^I'm not sure how much 'family' stuff you'll see at SFMM. Keep in mind every 'family' thing they've tried in the last five years has pretty much failed and they've been in the process of taking family stuff out. The park has found its niche as the 'XTREME' park (sound familiar) and I feel that's the direction you'll continue to see it go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah, that is true, might as well just assume they'll be replacing the Log Jammer with a 100mph launched Aquatrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Cool, at WCB we see if they will drop any clues as to what is going in Log Jammers place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Man, I'm going to miss the Log Jammer. The final drop was better than Jet Stream's, IMO. Even though the park still has Jet Stream for being the main log ride, it won't be the same. Whatever the replace the classic ride with, I hope they keep the large lake. It's just too beautiful to just fill in with concrete and rock. If they get ride of the old station (Which they most-likely will) then that's totally fine with me. At least we won't have a crappy haunted house at Fright Fest that has home haunt set quality and takes about a minute and a half to walk through. Deciding what's going to go in its place is going to be tricky. It would be interesting to see a cross between a water coaster and an El Loco. I know it sounds ludicrous, but I'm just throwing that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Or....an Avacado Park. Fresh guacamole made at the end of your visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ^oh my god this is getting insane YOU'RE GENIUS! An insane ride would be awesome! A ride that would be so insane, it would go underwater...literally. The drop can go into the water, have a sign at the top warning you to hold your breath, and have a barrel roll underneath. At the end of the ride, there could be an avocado park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S33S313 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've never been to WCB before, but who knows, maybe I'll make it this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susie zueck Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Cant wait for WCB!!!! Last year I went to Knotts for WCB. I was wondering if SFMMs WCB is better or is knotts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ^Go to both and decide for yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Cant wait for WCB!!!! Last year I went to Knotts for WCB. I was wondering if SFMMs WCB is better or is knotts? Only if you like ERT on pretty much every coaster in the park for 2 hours in the dark and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Cant wait for WCB!!!! Last year I went to Knotts for WCB. I was wondering if SFMMs WCB is better or is knotts? I absolutely love them both. For me, and depending what is offered, the SFMM day is like a massive coaster marathon, and Knott's is like an incredible behind the scenes theme park adventure. At SFMM they also have backstage tours, but it's really about riding the coasters over and over and over with barely any lines (me and my wife rode Tatsu in the front, with no one else at all). Knott's last year was awesome with the tours, especially being able to walk in the Log Ride flume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousReed Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I highly doubt a Giga or a Flat. I predict 2 seperate rides: one in LJ's space and one in DeJaVu's former place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Pretty sure it's already been discussed that a new employee cafeteria is going in Deja Vu's spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) I wonder why MM decided to take out Log Jammer NOW, seeing as nothing is replacing it for the 2012 season. EDIT: Didn't seem like it was falling apart or a maintenance issue. Anyone know of any issues? Edited November 8, 2011 by Schotcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ^ Rides can reach the end of their life at any time, doesn't matter if somethings replacing it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I would assume it was most-likely a cost issue that killed the Log Jammer. Maybe they couldn't afford to keep it maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAL Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Pretty sure it's already been discussed that a new employee cafeteria is going in Deja Vu's spot? Unsubstantiated rumor that was questioned by the rumor source. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 EDIT: Didn't seem like it was falling apart or a maintenance issue. Anyone know of any issues? It was 40 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Not only does not having Log Jammer open for the 2012 season save $$ ... but it also let's workers get into the area and survey the land for the coming attraction(s). Hopefully this means they are going to actually design a ride that fits the landscape and build "around" the land instead of building "on top" of the land like they did with Tatsu. Considering Log Jammer closed rather suddenly I'm going to assume they already either know or have a good idea what is going in that area. Wonder if I can get my hat that I lost on the ride on it's last day back when we go on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
