805Andrew Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Twisted Collosus is looking great! Can't wait to ride! As for Scream, I'm glad it got a new paint job - that's something. As for its parking lot, they could just put some cheap Steampunk props and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardyloo! Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Unfortunately when TC will open, SF MM wil make TC only available with an platinum flash pass (+$15), so prepare to wait in line for 2 hours (however six flags is kinda bound to use 3 trains, so that will help).

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Courtesy of Our Mountain-Â Â Â Â Goodbye, trees. Â Though they did clear cut most of the trees, they did plant new ones as well. No clue how big the new ones will be, but the mountain side will be covered in trees again eventually.

singemfrc Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Unfortunately when TC will open, SF MM wil make TC only available with an platinum flash pass (+$15), so prepare to wait in line for 2 hours (however six flags is kinda bound to use 3 trains, so that will help). That was expected though. It's standard procedure that the newest ride will be a FP upcharge for the first year or two due to popularity. When YOLO was added as a Platinum upcharge, X2 was downgraded to Gold and Lex Luthor was downgraded to standard. Perhaps now they will either put X2 on regular flash pass or downgrade YOLO to Gold. My guess would be the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 While it will probably make the ride less interesting (to be honest, after riding Eagles Fortress, all suspended coasters are boring!), it at least creates a nicer visual for the ride.

Jew Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ninja was always a mediocre ride that was a good family friendly "big" ride for kids. Now it's just easier to tell that's the case without the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Guess we won't have to wonder how Ninja will get removed with all the trees in the way anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedved82491 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I always found Ninja had a slight thrill factor due to the trees obstructing your path, but that factor is now gone. A lot of the trees have already been missing for some time since the accident, so it's not that shocking. Before they recently returned the second train, it made riding it almost pointless. Â Anyhoo, I'm ecstatic to see them put up the first inversion. At this rate, we'll see it in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the thick greenery made for a better ride, owing to the whooshing through the trees. Kinda the same effect as feeling like go karts are faster than they are because of how low to the ground you are.Ninja was always a mediocre ride that was a good family friendly "big" ride for kids. Now it's just easier to tell that's the case without the trees. Agree with you there. It was never really a thrill ride, I always viewed it as a relaxing break since it is (or was) shaded.

Password121 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I really don't get why this had to be done. I understand trimming around the "danger zones" very close to the track, but this just seems like overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
