coasterfreak101 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 They stored Deja Vu back there for over 10 years before finally shipping it off to New England. They stored Psyclone there as well before finally moving it to the city dump. Heck, before that they stored Sarajevo Bobsleds and Shockwave before finally shipping them off to other parks. Along with this ride, they are currently storing Apocalypse in the same area. So in fact, they could be charging for storage. Any type of revenu stream is beter than no revenu stream in this economy. On a daily basis I think that threads should end after you post, because if the Internet was a game I think you've won way too many times to count.

coasteroverdose2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wait guys ... yellow, orange, blue, green, and black? I totally know what they are getting! See: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/files/fullthrottle4.png http://i.imgur.com/5qnPg.jpg i dont get it What part didn't you get? The Aquaman:The Bench joke? (I was wondering how many people would actually remember that 11 year old joke ...) But hey, the colors do match. Bench: The Ride... Some good memories there! seems too colorful for a coaster if thats what it is i got my inside sources too but they did not mention that coler scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Haha... This subject went from interesting to boring overnight. Back to the regularly scheduled Drop Of Doom talk. Nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xceleratorfan96 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wow, i'm gone for 9 days and I can't even find my last post. A combination between so much news and an active TPR forum! I'm personally glad to see a flat (if that is what these new parts go to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrightFest1408 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I now see that it's a slingshot after all. What if Full Throttle is the name of the slingshot and SFMM is messing with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coast4airtime Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It's definately a Slingshot. It's like the one at Coney Island. Full Throttle sounds like a Slingshot ride name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Six Flags Great Adventure got rid of Eruption (same as Thrill Shot) for a Slingshot this season as well. They did go for the lattice structure though, which does look much more permanent...interesting that Magic Mountain is putting up this version. That's funny, there has been no confirmation or announcement of anything. Except those supports are definitely 100% for that slingshot ride.

CoasterLover Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Perhaps it could be a Sling-shot ride like this one? The supports look similar.. Not to mention the ladder pieces at the park match perfectly with the ladder seen on the back of each of those towers... good find, I think that's 100% what these supports are for.

That's funny, there has been no confirmation or announcement of anything. Uncalled for. It seems like a safe assumption that a park builds the rides that show up on its property, save a few examples of old rides being transported and left to rot. Brand new ride parts seem likely to be built, so pardon me for expecting that to be the case. You are pardoned. So it's not so much they are putting this up as it is they are likely putting this up. Is and maybe.... hmmm. But why and if this is going in did nobody see this coming? Maybe the FT rumors were just a distraction for what is really going on.... this thing!

A.J. Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Uh, yeah - just because supports are on site doesn't mean that Six Flags Magic Mountain will or will not actually do anything with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Monte Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Enough with the silliness. This sling shot has nothing to do with the launched coaster going into Log Jammer's spot next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Took a short trip to the park since I got off work early. Spent most of the time riding Lex Luther (got in at least seven rides), and man was this ride much needed at the park, even with the amount of downtime it's been having (which is obviously expected of a new ride). Needless to say, it's very reridable and lived up to its hype. Apocalypse has some new decals on the trains promoting the sci-fi show Falling Skies on TNT. They also had some ads for the show along the walls of the line with a graffiti-esque look. I've never cared for the show myself, but I thought the advertising at the park was worth mentioning.

Could you post a picture of the ads since I want to see if they are a wrap or just a little decal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 ^I didn't take any pictures. As far as I could see it's decal, but it could be wrap-I honestly wouldn't know the difference really (and admittedly wouldn't care to), but it did make the train look a little more interesting. Colossus also had something similar for The Great Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xceleratorfan96 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 C'mon people, let's not forget who were dealing with. SFMM wouldn't leave that big (and now ugly) of a space just to sit there. There will be a coaster in LG spot whether Full Throttle is for the flat or the coaster! Since this can be assumed as a sling shot, I see it as an up charge just because of the horrible capacity and the nature of the ride.... Now where will this go? I don't think a slingshot would fit where Thrill Shot was... but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
