JonnyRCT3 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) ^^ SFMM must have finally got that the number of coasters dosen't really effect anything. Every other amusement park is eveidence of that. Edited August 30, 2012 by JonnyRCT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_boehm Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like the color scheme. I mean, I was expecting something bold and vibrant like red, because like someone else said, that's the color I think of when I hear the name Full Throttle. But I like the colors. Yeah they're simple, but it looks fresh and modern. I would prefer these colors after seeing them to red or yellow. It compliments the crazy shapes of the elements and isn't too overpowering or cheesy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) SFMM had to get a black and gray coaster because the "Magic Mountain of Japan" has one...

Crazy4Coasters! Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not but Cedar Point can still remain a very sucessful park without having to keep up with SFMM coaster count. Remember they do not compete in the same region so the coaster war count is more for bragging rights and their sucessfulness does not hinge on the fact if they can keep up with SFMM coaster count. And no, Cedar Point is in no way "son done for!" Â You couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic? I thought that was the most beautiful piece of sarcasm I've read in quite some time. Â Aww thanks supertrooper! And thank you Crazy4Coasters for explaining exactly why the "coaster war" is silly. Â BTW, does anyone else find it odd that Magic Mountain isn't trumpeting around the fact this addition will solidify their record for most coasters? It seems like they love to say it in their press releases for new coasters. Though I suppose they aren't really recapturing it at this point because Cedar Point never took it back, or even quite tied it. Â No, thank you for being such a good sport about it! It's really great to find people on TPR that are easy going in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannerdw Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What a strange layout. I'm really not a fan of the backward launch. IMO, it's an unnecessary gimmick that just pads ride duration and forces the second train to wait even longer to dispatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â At first I thought it was a decent scheme and the scheme also went in nice with the modern look but, im not sure whether the track color is gonna be white or grey. If it's white, then that wouldn't look that good in my opinion unlike grey. And white will also get dirty faster and knowing MM they'll take all the time in the world to fix it. I think it would've fit better if the black was a dark navy blue instead to go with grey. THAT, would give it more of a futuristic look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklingscribe Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Seriously. Â Someone should hint to Magic Mountain that the next record they should break is the ride with the most airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUSHIE Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 For some reason those two new photos remind me of Space Mountain. I mean like aspects of the building and and signs n stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Its definitley a Premier ride. Look at the track,launch and tains. All the same as Superman. I have this #2 on my best 2013 coasters behind outlaw run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Seems pretty cool. I was hoping for a little more length and terrain use, but it still looks like a fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhamar Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So the theme (do i dare say) seems to revolve around electricity, rather than racing. Interesting to see what becomes of the 5 acre area around the former Log Jammer station. They said there was some interaction involved, lots of visuals and a transformation similar to DC Universe. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm thinking the stop and reverse launch and re-launch is going to be very costly. Maybe it's something they can eventually program out. Kinda like V2 at Great America not using the back break anymore (it's burned out anyway). Â The white/grey and black or grey looks kinda cool. And I bet that is a good choice in terms of not having to repaint as often as more colorful rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet! Â Yeah, it took me awhile to get the connection and I like it! So I'm guessing the stop in the tunnel will reflect some sort of power outage and reboot.

Arkhamar Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^ I like that idea too! Full Throttle is now listed on RCDB (http://www.rcdb.com/10948.htm), but with no new info like cost and total length of ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The49er Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 YOLO: The Ride?! Â I disapprove. Â Otherwise, looks like fun (despite being a tad short), and could be a sign that SUF in Vallejo is not the last of such rides. I would be interested to see Premier's next installations of similar coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I want to like it soo much, but there's a few things that bother me along with other thoughts: Â Pros: I actually like the color scheme, not too flashy. The airtime hill could be awesome. I like the layout from after the loop until the tunnel. Â Cons: 2 trains? Really? Brakes immediately after it gains a ton of speed. They couldn't do anything with the layout after the tophat? Why have the backwards launch? It slows capacity, is a stupid gimmick, and kills pacing. As much as I didn't want it to be, it's a gimmicky coaster. Â Basically what it comes down to is this: Six Flags Magic Mountain has picked another potentially awesome addition for the park, but with their horrible decisions on how to build it exactly, it just kind of blows. Same exact thing happened with Green Lantern. Hopefully the positive factors make up for the poor ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Just out of curiosity, wouldn't the backward's launch of Full Throttle add some extra airtime/hangtime? Â Oh wait, this is Magic Mountain we're talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 What coasters generally have the most airtime? Wood coasters, hyper coasters, and multi launchers. So, how does a park with a wood coaster, hyper coaster, AND multi launcher still lack in the airtime department? Â That being said, I think I am going to give SFMM a pass on this one (aside from two-train operations; this looks like it could easily run three, or have been modified to run three). The ride will fill the void of a full circut launch coaster. The park simply wanted a multi-launcher, but they didn't want to dump $25 million into building one. Â Now, is there anything (besides an airtime machine) that SFMM hasn't built? That is why I think there is hope that within the next two major coaster installations, airtime will have been legalized at this park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
