PeoplemoverMatt Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Im sure if SFMM built a 550 foot monster, nobody would be complaining. Â If it didn't have enough air time, was built over a parking lot, and/or was built on a spot someone thought was ideal for a flat ride, yes at least some people would be complaining. Â Â Then Robb would make fun of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 SFMM could build the undisputed best coaster in the world and still, somebody would have something to complain about. Â Actually, this probably applies to pretty much any park. Â I'm still debating people over El Toro being a wooden coaster...5 years later.

screaminkid2005 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 ^ It's clearly a steel coaster! Â Have they started taking LJ out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd complain. I don't want a reason to visit SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeesh  Here's how you handle these arguments. Whack the person who cliams that El Toro is a "steel" coaster with a 2x4, then with a crow bar. That person will then "feel" the difference.

harper83087 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 ^ HAHAHA that's fantastic! Â The area has a ton of potential for a great ride and I'm sure the park is aware of that. I'll say it again, low fast blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rba13 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Regarding a coaster to take up the space of the Log Jammer. I was thinking Six Flags Magic Mountain should get back to its roots as it is a Mountain. They should build the mountain up so it looks like one of those Swiss Alps mountain They can run bobsled type tracks around and in the mountain. The first part of the ride would of course be the climb to the peak and than have the coaster ( made up of two cars) runs down the mountain. The coaster would take you inside and outside of the mountain as it makes several circles on the way down. And they could theme it up with ice glacier, snow type stuff and don't forget using an abominable snowman as an added surprise. At the end of the mountain, the sleds can splash a little bit into the water. As an added bonus they could bring in a sky tram ride taking people thought the mountain too. Name the coaster ride after some famous mountain in the Alps. Anyone have any ideas what to call this ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rba13 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Or maybe they can blast a walkway path through that area to get to the backside of the park a lot faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSum1_55 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) ^Well, Magic Mountain actually was one of the proposed names for Matterhorn. Although, we all know Magic Mountain will never go back to its roots as a "Mountain". In fact, it's almost surprising that they still have the title 'Magic Mountain'. It seriously sounds like something you would name a kiddie park. 'Extreme Mountain' sounds like a much better name, since extreme rides are all they build. A terrain coaster seems quite unlikely at this point. However, they did do a descent job with Green Lantern's inside queue, so there might be SOME hope for a halfway-decently themed ride.

deathbydinn Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 ^ I'm sure whatever it is, it will have some theming. In this interview with IAAPA, JRA said theming is important in Six Flag's future. And they did do a better than I expected with theming RRE and GL, so hopefully LL:DOD and whatever is coming in 2013 will continue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rba13 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thinking further about that Log Jammer location. Maybe they expand that water feature into a lake and put seating into the side of the hills. Then they could put a show on with lights and fireworks. Maybe they could figure out away to use the old Loony Tunes cartoons and project them onto a screen made of jetted water from the lake? Mix in some live action and a musical score they could be on to something that the whole family can enjoy. There would be nothing like it at any theme park anywhere.

DefinitiveDetour Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 And they could call it FANTASMIC!!!  oh wait...   Sorry!!! Couldn't help it! lol  Does SFMM even run the batman show anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thinking further about that Log Jammer location. Â Perhaps if USH is unable to find proper room for Hogwarts Castle lets just drop in in where Log Jammer was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ728 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Does SFMM even run the batman show anymore? No, they ran a BMX bike stunt show thing in 2010, but had nothing in that theater in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 They are going to put in their own, less themed version, of "Dinosaurs Alive!" In LJ's spot. One, maybe two of the dinosaurs will be animated, the rest will just be static displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefinitiveDetour Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 However, after the 1st season all the dinos will be static displays. Finally, in April before the summer rush there will only be 1 static display due to refurbs before the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewoplis Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 ^ It's clearly a steel coaster! Â Have they started taking LJ out yet? Â When I went (Thanksgiving week), it was just an empty flume. I didn't see any boats, but there probably storing them away some where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Actually the space where LJ was is going to be used for storage. When Dippin Dots finally goes under they have to store all those carts some where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
