BlakeCoaster Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Lol yea that's what I'm saying. Like I said in the original post take it how youd like to. Im just sharing what was told to me. Like I said for all I know he could have been bsing me. What it comes down to is I'm just relaying what I was told. That's exactly how i took it, and how anyone else should, with a grain of salt. As far as i see it nobody's gaining by coming on here and lying, and whether or not who you talked to was actually being honest, it is interesting to hear what they had to say. Honestly, I've talked to manufactor/maintenence guys before and you'd be amazed how candid they are if you just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps294 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 One big reason I don't think it is a SkyScreamer because there is no fins on the supports (unless the park adds them on?) Here is a picture of Texas Star Flyer supports. If you look at the picture clearly there is no fins on the supports! Also look at the bottom of the Texas Star Flyer supports, they look alot different then the ones at SFMM. So I started looking at pictures of Skyrusch and boom... The bottom of SFMM supports look the same as the bottoms of Skyruch's supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylexy2298 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 And it looks like SFMM is getting ready to recieve another truck load of supports or something else that is needed for the ride. You can tell by the wooden planks just right of the supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayoss Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 JPS294 hit it on the head. These are Intamin supports all right. Unquestionably, these are supports for "Full throttle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Looks very colorful for coaster supports. I can't imagine that this is for a coaster. I won't say it's impossible I just don't see it. Wonder where they up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 They seem a little puny to be Intamin supports, especially when you compare them to the Skyrush supports, which look much denser. Unless these are for some other aspect of the ride. Besides, isn't Full Throttle suppose to be a Premier Ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefinitiveDetour Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Don't forget Tim Burkhart even said on camera that there was a delay in receiving parts from the "manufacturer" for drop of doom. Kind of adds up if they are indeed Intamin supports.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know yet, but since SFMM has worked with Intamin for the last 3 projects, they would probably work with Intamin on the fourth project. When I visit the park on Tuesday, I will check and see if there is anything new on site. I believe these could definitely be for Full Throttle. I think it would be interesting to see a colorful ride in the LJ area. This is just making me more and more excited for what's in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhamar Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yes! Awesome! This is gonna be a very exciting thread to watch. Interesting to know how these supports have appeared now that Lex Luthor is up and running. Albeit, very early already. All eyes on this. Could it be for 'Full Throttle'? or some flat ride? or a ride in Deja Vu's former spot? Only time will tell when we start seeing more supports, hopefully some REALLY BIG ones, And of course, the official announcement from Six Flags. Thanks to all you guys for keeping us SFMM coaster fanatics on top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm thinking the supports are for some kind of flat ride. To colorful for a coaster and I don't think it is for the water park because of timing. Water park rides don't take that long to build and this one would be done probably right after the park closes for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanKgtr Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 What irks me is that all the supports are the same length. Surely the coaster won't travel at one height (or a multiplier of one height, supports can be stacked) for a long enough period to warrant that many supports of the exact same height. I initially thought of a launch track, but since this coaster is supposedly built to the terrain, even launch track supports would have different lengths to account for changes in topography... I'm stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scbt Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^ Brilliant Work! I take it it will be a water coaster like Divertical, but have a launched portion of the coaster section New for the 2013 Season at SFMM ... Aquaman - Full Throttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^That theming would work perfectly with a certain type of coaster, so we can only come to one conclusion: It's going to be an Aquatrax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetheonlyJT Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^^^ That ride would be outrageous (Aquamans catch phase) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryoux Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Also, I think Magic Mountain raised online ticket prices. They have a 3-day "advance" ticket that is now 45 bucks and then a day of purchase that is now 50 bucks. As well as the already mentioned $17 parking now.

JJ728 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^^Buying tickets at the park also went up from $61.99 to $64.99. It was $59.99 earlier this year too. But season passes are still only $74.99 which really is a steal, and the combo pass ($99.99) and the Xtreme pass ($125) are really good values in my opinion. If I were them I'd stop raising general admission tickets here and bump up the passes. I'd easily shovel out $200 for an Xtreme pass (especially now that parking is at $17 a visit, plus the significant amount of money I save with the 25% off in park purchases).

dylanreich Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^This is all very true. While still a great value and I have one, it's a slight bummer that the Xtreme pass does not include admission to Hurricane Harbor. Is there even a discounted price to add it to an Xtreme pass? It that even possible at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not sure if we ever got confirmation on the $17 parking ... but here you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
