LaMapa Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 ^Yes, I'm at Cyber Cafe at the park right now. Nothing on the tower! Just electrical! And you never know how long it will take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanreich Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 ^Not seeing anything on the tower doesn't mean they're not working on the ride in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Maybe this will be completed ahead of schedule or maybe this will be riddled with delays...who knows....don't know-don't care, it will open when it opens, I'm in no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galindoverhere Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry to throw you guys off topic, but rumor has it, SFMM won't be the Coaster Capital of the World in 2013.... according to Screamscape, CP may be adding TWO new coasters in 2013 (but Screamscape also said this: to take that "second" coaster rumor with a grain of salt) and you can read about it in the "Cedar Point Discussion Thread".... Â Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galindoverhere Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Â I'll take it with a grain of salt. Â Same here Larry.... My thoughts are they will be tied for the Coaster Crown (P.S. I apologize for not showing a picture of how it looks like ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm more interested in the quality of attractions going into both parks next year. Whether CP is ahead by one or they are tied, is really less interesting to me than it used to be. Besides as we all know by now, all it takes is one park taking a year off for the other the swoop in and take the title back. It's just kind of a boring thing to worry about.

coasterking2981 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It doesn't really matter. People most of the people who go to Magic Mountain probably have never been to nor ever will go to Cedar Point. The two parks aren't even competitors, they've just been one uping each other for a record that any park could take. But in the event that such a rumor proves true, Six Flags could just market Magic Mountain has having the most coasters on the West Coast, and that would be enough of a 'record' to keep people coming. Â Going back to the current discussion about Lex Luthor, why are people so up in arms about the apparent lack of construction? There's probably a lot going on that the park isn't divulging any information on. Maybe this will have some sort of pre-show and they're waiting for the final elements of it to be ready. Maybe not, who knows. Yeah, it'll suck for people decided to fly over on vacation, hoping that Lex and Superman would be open by May or earlier, but it is what it is. It'll open when they're ready to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yep. And the whole CP thing is getting old and predictable. Full Throttle (hopefully) will be really awesome!! I feel like LL:DOD was given to us as a holdover until next year when the park really does "GO BIG". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. cockblock Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 LL:DOD will open when it opens, arguing over the "lack" of construction is beyond stupid and will not make it open any sooner. At the end of the day IT IS A DROP TOWER, not some epic new airtime filled coaster. As far as I'm concerned, SFMM can take their sweet time with the construction. Although I'm kind of excited to ride this massive drop tower, I know I wont be planning a special trip to the park just to ride LL:DOD when it opens.

Lucas The Drummer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Which rides have single rider lines here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 ^Riddler's Revenge, Green Lantern, Revolution (probably won't need it though), and Viper (could never find the SR line). And these are all signed. Just follow the signs. Go in the exit for GL, and Riddlers and follow signs from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 ^That is another thing I have been trying to figure out on Viper. Where the heck is the SR line? The signs for it literally lead you in circles. Is it up the exit? One of the arrows seems to point away from it, however. Â I have attempted to find it three times, but have given up. One time, I even gave up and just decided to wait in the 30 minute wait it had. Is there something really obvious that I am missing? That sounds like something I would do.

Tmcdllr Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Its been awhile but if I remember right it goes through the main que line as a separate line then you go up the stairs to the station and I think it leads you to the back or back three rows of the train...unless it has changed since the last time I was there a few years ago.

MontagnaMagica Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm confused about Viper's Single Rider line too. I once asked about it, but was told they weren't doing that anymore... The signs don't make any sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas The Drummer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks, can someone please do a continuation (or correction) on this day plan? remember, don't make walk back and forth way across the park!

Reuschini Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think we're all just used to DIsney's patented 'they announce it and immediately we see some progreess' way. Â That might not be Magic Mountain's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftsifter Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think it's important to note that the GP haven't been bothered at all by the lack of construction, seen anyone complaining on the facebook page that it "doesn't look like it will be done on time?" I have no idea exactly how long it takes to put up a drop ride of this kind, but I'm sure it's not too long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That might not be Magic Mountain's style. Â LOL, I wish that were true. Disney has announced several things company wide months ago, and nothing has started yet. Â But they can take all the time they want. The longer its not open, the longer I wont be forced to ride it by Elissa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaMapa Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ok, that's a good start, but Superman will be closed. So after Apocalypse, go to the Riddler's Revenge single rider line, Green Lantern Single Rider line, Batman, Scream, Colossus, Goliath, Revolution, Viper, (Gold Rusher if you want to), then end at X2.

coasterking2981 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Speaking of Superman, wasn't the park going to enclose the back end of Superman, behind the station, while they were working on Lex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 ^Yes. The inside queue building is technically already there; it will go in the old arcade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is what you are talking about?! If so, yeah I know it been like this at least since I last rode S:EFK in October.
