_IntaMAN_ Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Toys of Terror rehab was amazing as well, the 3D really worked and reminded me of HHN's House of 1000 Corpses' 3D effects. I would respectfully disagree about that. Toyz was 90% neon airbrush painted walls that barely popped with the glasses. I kind of laughed at that being "upgraded." House of a 1000 corpses was probably the best use of 3D in any haunt maze because of the technique they used (and continue to use, though Alice and Clowns didn't do as good of a job). I didn't like how it was used in Clowns but I did think Toys was good... The only thing I will laugh at is the fact that most of the scenes stayed the same which wasn't much of an "upgrade" but there were some new scenes.

coasterlvr Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I really wish Magic Mountain would be better with social media. Especially when it comes to construction updates for new coasters, etc. You know, something like Cedar Point, or even SFGA was great with the Goliath insider. Even just a few pics on Twitter or Facebook would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMGeek27 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Other than Sunday, what is a better night to go to Fright Fest in terms of crowds: Friday or Saturday? Friday. Hands down. Friday's are almost as empty as Sunday's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hey. I enjoyed the toys of terror. And that spinning room. I stayed longer than I should have because the effect worked perfectly on me and I didn't want it to stop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuckInSD Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Huh. They still got to patch the hole up and a bunch of track to tear down. Nice to see that the lift is underway, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassinthegrass Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I didn't realize that the angle of the lift hill was staying the same, I thought it was going to be adjusted into a steeper incline like wicked cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinphoenix Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Here is a closer view. Those colors do look sharp i must say...just wished they wouldve painted a nice new coat of white underneath it to really make them POP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A113 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Those aren't the actual colors, the contrast is turned way up on the image, same as an old one. I don't think I will ever understand the reason for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I will ever understand the reason for doing so. What? It's like an old timey filter that you overlay in photoshop. Those arn't the real colors. They have been inhanced in post. The real colors are much more muted than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ^Actually, YOLOcoaster was marketed with airtime. They were selling the fact that you get airtime on the last hill. Although their actual advertising campaign should have been: "There is no actual airtime over the top of this hill. And don't get excited for the drop, either; it has brakes on it." I don't know what you're talking about. There a big airtime moment right before you hit the brakes at the end. Also, YOLOCoaster totally has airtime over the loop...that abruptly ends with the brake. Exactly! It feels short lived in general. Between Xcelerators Top hat and Yolo's, I pick Xcelerator. I pick Xcelerator all day as a ride in general.

rolercstrluvr Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm just glad to see so much being done in a short time frame. Could be SFMM's first coaster to open on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
