Superbatboy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My thoughts are with her parents too, I can't imagine what it must feel like to see your child go through something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) There were helicopters flying around, and x2 was shut down for a short amount of time ("security issue") . I think that was related to this. Â Makes sense. Keep the area clear for the girls treatment and transport. Â How quick Revolution re-opens will be telling as to her condition. Hope she is OK.

fpsphil Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Queue restore revolution comments in 3.2.1. Â Anyways i hope she makes a quick and speedy recovery. I can see how this could happen tho with the headbanging that can occur during the ride, she could have hit her head just right to cause her to loose conciousness, or it could be a unrelated underlying medical condition that was aggrevated by the ride (has happened before).

Fire2box Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The news article robb posted says" She was subsequently taken via airship with a parent to Northridge Hospital." Â I can only image someone had a brain fart while writing and couldn't think of what a helicopter is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Monte Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Not sure if anyone will agree or not, but I have found my money seat on Twisted Colossus. Row 6, left seat. It's rare that the best rides on a coaster is the middle of the train, and I will agree that the best first drop seat is the very back, best airtime seat is the very front. The the middle of the train offers the best overall ride for me. Anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The the middle of the train offers the best overall ride for me. Anyone else agree? Â i am normally a back seat rider. and, i think it's awesome in the back. i like big elements mostly, so the first drops, blue after high five and under top gun are all awesome in the back. but, my overall favorite isn't the middle, but a few rows behind. 8-9. i didn't care too much for the front as usual for me. Â another guy at the commercial shoot i was talking to really liked the middle as you do. i think the only deciding factor for me is i was just that tiny bit more over the hill yank down. give me middle to the back and i'm happy.

coasterlvr Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 if anyone needs a SFMM Gold Pass with parking, they sent me an email to buy up to 6 for $72.99 plus processing fee of like 8.99 i think it was. but that's for the entire order i assume.

ALT2870 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks guys for your help. Have a new plan, input welcome. This day concerns July 10th, a Friday. Fly down to Burbank from Oakland and will arrive plenty early for opening. Easy. Now getting back have an option of a 5:40 or 6 departure from Burbank or an 8:30 from LAX to Denver. (Don't ask how I got to Oakland. ) I'd figure leaving the park at 6 would work for LAX. Given those options only, I'd go with the LAX flight. Youd probably have to leave by at least 4 to catch the one out of Burbank safely. With the 8:30 flight out of LAX, I'd feel safe leaving as late as 5:30. The biggest difference though is that the LAX flight is non stop and will have you in Denver by 11:40. The Burbank flight, which leaves at 6, has a 2 hour layover in San Jose and doesnt get into Denver until 12:30 am - ouch! Â So fly OAK - BUR in the morning and fly out LAX - DEN. For future trips try doing Sundays. It's the only day in Los Angeles that traffic is light (relatively speaking), so you can use LAX without much worry. Â My times are very restrictive sadly so not many days I can go. I'll probably book the tickets today with the LAX option as that was what I was leaning to anyway. One last thing is I'm waiting to hear back for the rental car. (I have connections in this department so no worries.) Specifically trying to get a Honda for that early entry and ERT. Â The person I was going with may not be able to go now. Probably will work out with single rider lines, but I'm open for somebody to join me.

The the middle of the train offers the best overall ride for me. Anyone else agree? Â Funny you say this. I have had the most rides on TC somewhere in row 7 during the video shoot (I know because I was in a seat where I could see the electronics on the backs of the seats, so I know I was in the front of the "car") and I had SIGNIFIGANTLY better rides in those rows than I have had in the back, and front, as far as airtime and overall out-of-control experience. Â I also sat on the left. Â So I think you're right. This may be one of those rides designed in a way where the best seat is in the middle. It wouldn't surprise me.

SFMMGeek27 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I really like row 3. Row 3 and Row 9 are the best ones I've found so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I always seem to end up on rows 9 and 11. Curious to try rows 1 and 7 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFlags Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I generally enjoy sitting somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 back on most coasters. The speed seems the most consistent to me... far enough back to not always be waiting for the rest of the train to catch up, but not so far back that you feel like you're being constantly yanked around.

Jew Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Was Revolution open today? If not, that probably means the girl was admitted to the hospital and the ride will have to remain closed until the state clears it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are general passholders welcome in addition to Discover holders? Â I had hoped for TC to be included, but its stated in the email the park sent out earlier in June as X2, Viper, and Revolution. Hopefully someone will post on the forum if this changes tomorrow. Also from the email: "Present your Discover card or your valid Six Flags Season Pass to receive your wristband at the event table near Revolution."
