ebl Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ^ I did notice the Axe Twist ad in the station, but didn't know that a train was ad-wrapped. They were using the orange-striped train when I was there. Somehow, I can't imagine the pretzel loop on Tatsu being forceless, even with only one person on the train.

fatdaddy Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Also for the first time ever I got a solo ride on Tatsu, its amazing how forceless that ride is when no one is on the train. It amazing how much force that ride has when your fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6flagsbrad Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Does anyone recall goldrusher ever going backwards? A friend in my class said they asked an operator if he could and they called a manager to get it running. I hope they could do that all the time because that sounds really fun!

deathbydinn Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 So your friend said they turned a car backwards because one person wanted to ride backwards...and you believed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardCraze Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ^^ That would be incredibly dangerous, time consuming, and highly improbable. Don't believe everything your friends say . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrad Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Good to see some action in this thread.. it's been kind of slow lately. Is Ninja officially open? Or just randomly open on certain days? I would like to go Sunday and hope to ride it. Good to hear that X2's audio is working okay! That is a deal-breaker for me if it is not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingRunner Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ^^Who says it isn't possible? http://www.rcdb.com/220.htm?p=16078 But I highly doubt SFMM management would ever try this sort of thing on Goldrusher. The ride op was probably joking anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooksta77 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Has the mist on Terminator's tunnels and station Fly-by been working lately? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 ^ I haven't seen any mist on Terminator for quite awhile. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce532 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 The mists were working last week on the station tunnel and the other 2 tunnels. I remeber the guy behind me comenting how he got more wet on Terminator than he did on Tital Wave. I actually will be stopping by tomorrow for a few hours. So hopefully Ninja will be up and running tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooksta77 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Ok I'm taking a first-timer friend on the 27th and 28th so I want him to get all the effects, the audi won't be missing much, and looks like I won't mind watching the preshow one more time.

ebl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I got my free ticket for a friend from the Funatics program. The ticket is valid on any operating day until October 10, 2010. (Interesting expiration date... ) Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipityDoDog Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Stopped by the park yesterday at opening. All rides were walk on with re-rides if anyone wanted with the exception of X2. No misters on Terminator, but the first set of misters on X2 were operating. I did also notice the Axe Twisted wrap on Viper, the new larger umbrella and tables near cold stone in the back of the park, and the new shaded character meeting locations.

AGLOIATHPENGUIN123 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Im going super duper soon and i really don't want to go when a ride is down for rehab. Ninja is down right now and i don't know why. I think they might stop Once summer break starts for kids because thats when they get lots of people. If you know anything tell me. I hope Ninja reopens soon. I'm going on the 23rd of june. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce532 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) For the rehabs, Ninja should be the last scheduled for a while. The parks do all there ride rehabs during the off season so when the big summer crowds come in they would have all the rides open. If any of the rides are down from now until halloween it would be unscheduled and unexpected by park management. (except for colossus) You can check on the rides page on the website http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/rides/ThrillRides.aspx . If you click under Ninja it says "temporarily closed".

PsYcHo OZ Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Here I am riding Ninja on Satuday, May 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 ^ You're the one with the red OTSR, right? I say that because all of the others are orange. While I'm not crazy about the ad-wrapped trains, the way it was applied to Ninja isn't so bad---maybe because they left the bottom of the cars black. And, of course, the Karate Kid movie ad fits Ninja's Japanese theme. Since I haven't ridden Ninja all year, I look forward to doing so soon.

AGLOIATHPENGUIN123 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks. I figure they would be smart enough to open all rides during summer. Summers there bussiest week. Thats why when i go i always get flashpassess. They are worth every penny b=to the point where your talking to your group and saying things like " we've done ALL the rides and its only 3:00. lets go RE RIDE SOME RIDES!!!

gforce532 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Okay I just got back from spending a couple of hours at the park today. I got on all the big rides except for Ninja though it was running today, it just happened to be broken down by the time I make the trek up the hill. The problem which it seemed to be that they were working on was the restraint release mecanism in the station. On other notes the misters on termy weren't working today, neither was the audio. I got my first look at the new viper decals which I actually think look really cool. I also got my first ever ride credit on Thomas the tank engine, so I just added another ride to my growing list. And finally this would seem kind of weird but I noticed that on the Gotham city sign the letters that spell out Gotham City were gone. So the sign just said "Backlot".

atem122 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I saw the LA Times today, and they had a picture of Mr. Six's Splash Island construction. Needless to say, it's very colorful. Full article here. Pretty colors! And Goliath's paint job did wonders for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2 and Tatsu might have a some sort of a line in the morrning but generally the park will be empty with walk-ons galore. Don't waste your money on a flash pass for that day.

ebl Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Where exactly in Hurricane Harbor are they building Mr. Six's Splash Island? Did they use any of Flashback's old area? Strangely, I didn't notice this the other day when I was there. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
