EastCoastn07 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) It's been 5 seasons since Maverick was put in. (08, 09, 10, 11, 12). Â I dont' think people are saying that YOLOcoaster will be bad, I think it is going to be amazing, just they were hoping for something a little better. Isn't SFMM marketing slogan now, "GO BIG!!!!" So why didn't they? Â When a park gets a new coaster every season, they're not gonna spend 25 million dollars on every attraction. I don't care how much money they bring in attendance wise, that's a terrible financial decision and the primary reason why Six Flags has been under multiple different ownerships in the last decade and every other company hasn't. If I was a yearly visitor of SFMM, I'd be more concerned with the park using that money on cleaning up the park and making it more like SFDK then worrying about how many more feet they could have added onto Full Throttle, but that's just me.

I agree with this. While I always love a new coaster, I would've preferred SFMM take at least a year off to spend on park improvements. Unfortunately with these rumors circulation about Colossus being redone (Don't get me wrong, I would love this!), it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.

Double0Kevin Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wow... It's like the birth of your child, you just can't imagine what it's like until you finally see it. I can't wait to ride this when it opens next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ^Exactly what I was going to say. Â Also, I'm not sure why I'm surprised that the track piece looks like a ladder. I guess the fact it's not some bright outlandish color heightens the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I think it's funny how Gatekeeper got done with construction, and Full Throttle started vertical construction today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Monte Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Track work on this ride is going to take what? 3-4 weeks tops? Â We're basically talking about a giant version of Montezooma's Revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 One slight issue with that... If this rendering is anything to go by, it looks like Tatsu might make things difficult if you want a photo like that. I'm all for trying anyway, though!

azza29 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 It might be a bit short and gimmicky, but I'm optimistic that this will give a good ride (however brief that might be). Given the height of the loop and top hat, I imagine the launches will be fairly intense. Â Have any pics of the trains appeared yet? Would be awesome if they have lapbar-only restraints.
