Wes Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 People no dual loading stations, pay attention to the video. One track painted 2 colors for the different experiences. I thought some people were talking about a dual loading station like Kingda Ka or Manta? So four stations? Two for each side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four trains, so that's eight stations. You have to wait in two stations to get on the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodon Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 People no dual loading stations, pay attention to the video. One track painted 2 colors for the different experiences. I thought some people were talking about a dual loading station like Kingda Ka or Manta? That is what I was talking about many pages back. I've ridden Outlaw Run and Goliath at SFGAm, and 110 second dispatches are hard for both of those rides to hit...ever. Outlaw Run at the beginning of this season had dispatches around 200 seconds and that's at Silver Dollar City where they take their dispatches seriously. If Twisted Colossus wants 110 second dispatches, the only way to do that is run 4 trains with dual loading stations similar to Kingda Ka and Manta.

Gnome Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 still can't get over the fact we get to experience that first drop not once, but twice! So stoked. I may be able to forgive SFMM for the wasted potential on Yolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought some people were talking about a dual loading station like Kingda Ka or Manta? And that could be the trick question. Yes it might have a station like Tatsu or KK! It would make loading and dispatching for this beast better. Most people here are talking about waiting in line for 2 different rides like the old Colossus. For now the speculation will continue, till we see the station and track work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2coasterfreak Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Come on guys its SFMM, you didn't think they would miss the chance at another record with the most loading stations did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM3988 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am excited for this! As if the sky line doesn't already look amazing, it's now going to look even better! Don't care for the name though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually believe the skyline won't be better with this ride, but that doesn't matter since it will be a great ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 ^ It'll be better in the sense that I'll be actually excited to the ride it when I see it from the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care for the name though. I agree, the skyline looks great especially travelling south on Interstate 5 this will only enhance it. I wonder why type of night lights they've planned...

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Wow, Twisted Colossus looks AWESOME. Not the biggest fan of the name, but nonetheless the coaster looks like it has potential to be the best at SFMM, the best in California, and arguably the best coaster west of the Mississippi. But no one has ridden it obviously, so we'll have to see... But what I do know is that I am definitely getting passes next year! So excited to finally see an RMC in California!

Midgetman82 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Come to think of it, I'm sort of surprised they didn't name it "Deja 'Vu." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega_Coaster_77 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think Wicked Cyclone is much better than this, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ok so here are some screen shots to try and settle the station speculation. I don't know if this is going to help, but here goes. ok, so it looks like the train is about to enter the brake run, with the stations off to the right, and the red train on the other block section. Here's another view of the station orientation. It almost appears that there are two stations connected, kind of like Millennium's load/unload platform. If someone wants to help me out by interpreting it, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 ^Do I see a bunch of little airtime hills over to the right, leading in to the lift hill? That'll be interesting (in a good way)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 ^^ Hmmm...converting one of the old stations to an unload platform would theoretically make it easier to hit the correct dispatch times. That is, of course, if it's going to be a single tracked coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes, there are what looks like a few small pre-lift camelbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willthegolfer Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Another thing I just thought of is that since the park is open year round, we will be able to get some great construction updates! ^And I think there are at least five little bunny hops before the lift.

MagnumFreak25 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes, there are what looks like a few small pre-lift camelbacks. That looks pretty much impossible to get any airtime on those unless the station is higher than it is in the animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlvr Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 i don't really see any station, just track that loops around to those little bunny hills. would be nice to see renderings of that whole area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willthegolfer Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you pause the video at 2:15, you can actually see that one of the pre-lift hops is sideways banked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
