willthegolfer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Yes, it will use 3 trains, in the video at 1:41 you can see a train on the brake run, and then 2 on the lift hills. Like how YOLOcoaster will have a train go over the hill and one through the loop at the same time... True that might not be accurate but I think logically 3 trains would be the best way to do it. That sounds about right. They'll probably start with 4, then ops will drop the ball after the first few weeks, then take off one of the trains just cuz. Since Colossus County Fair is becoming a newly themed area "Back Alley" I'd like to think they'll be giving Scream a new coat of paint. Probably the worst faded paint in the park besides Tatsu. If they're giving that whole area a facelift ,they really shouldn't leave Scream looking like that. Maybe they'll give it a semi-steampunk-ish theme like Twisted Colossus or maybe a graffiti style for contrast. Wishful thinking, though... Yeah it has to be at least 3 for the dueling to work at all, maybe there will be 4. Edit : The video actually shows 4 trains which would work if you had 2 on the lift hills, one on the brake run, and one loading.

Firechaser Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just thought of this what if they only have one station and when you start the ride you go on the right lift hill and then after going through the course you go on the left lift hill that way every body gets the same ride.

Gmaster562 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 They should put in a Countdown timer in the station for the ride ops and tell them if a train fails to dispatch in 110 seconds, Sixflags will combust - like in Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mater Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The fact that there is now a LOST reference in the thread about Twisted Colossus automatically makes it the most amazing thread in the history of internet message boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In lost it just created a rather strong magnetic pull. So, maybe pull Goliath down onto the station crushing/killing everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I loved Kings Island with Banshee and Diamondback, they give themselves 40 seconds, and countdown, 30-20-10. so fast, then you come home to Magic Mountain.

StuckInSD Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 But hey, at least you would get two credits! I mean, it is two different coasters, right? Duel loading, duel lift-hills, duel tracks, BUT only one coaster. And yes, that does seem quite odd when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would do this. I'm going to hate having to wait for both sides. I believe they are doing this. It only loads one train at a time, but once blue is done with the course, it goes up on the green and does the green side. Set up like the Smiler (like I said a few pages back).
