MrSum1_55 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am also all for bringing back the double down. SFMM almost never runs three trains on anything. Also, if they RMC both sides, they could run both sides, which would result in a high-enough capacity ride. Although, it is unlikely that they would run both sides all the time; only on crowded days.

Nicholas Loya Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think that MM should just redo Goliath and turn it into an airtime machine kinda like I305 just as long as they dont get rid of that helix! imo it'd be a lot better than redoing colossus so many people got upset about them taking out LJ imagine refurbing Colossus Or they should just pave Scream and put an airtime machine there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think it would be interesting to see how RMC would handle a racing coaster, so I'm all for a Colossus refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 ^Agreed! Dueling barrel rolls would be awesome! I would settle for just a RMC topper track rehab though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll never happen though. There's no point of doing that from their perspective. I think Goliath will be there for a very very very long time. Isn't it the best capacity ride in the park? Â I've said this before and I'll say it again: Just send Scream away to another Six Flags park that can actually give it the time of day to keep it maintained and some popularity. Bring back the parking spaces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefinitiveDetour Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 reprofile Goliath! Â just add a few bunny hills with a turn around and reconnect it to the mcbr. Â Â win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestripedtaco Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 ^ Something tells me that MM would rather add another gimmicky coaster than repair an existing one. It is just how they roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Anybody else find it ironic that they cut back on staff and don't run rides to their capacity to save money, yet they spend money on a new coaster? Good idea Magic Mountain! Save money just to lose more money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanic Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 How, exactly, is Flashpass supposed to work on Riddlers? We showed up at the merge spot at the base of the stairs and there was no Flashpass attendant to check us in. We proceeded up the narrow stair path on the far right only to find that led to a packed station with no clear merge spot there either. Still no Flashpass checker... After waiting about 10 minutes and moving a total of maybe 2 feet it was pretty evident that the wait was going to be far more than we were willing to wait for a coaster we've ridden plenty of times before. We bailed out and went to ride other coasters that were running with better operations. Â Other than that, the park was operating pretty well today.

Reminds me a lot of when everybody was excited for Lex Luthor, but a few weeks prior to the announcement of Log Jammer being taken out, all of the focus was diverted to the rumors of what would be happening in that section of the park.

Bryoux Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Does anyone know Xcelerator's current capacity? Don't they only have two trains that hold 20 people per dispatch? So shouldn't Full Throttle be somewhat similar capacity wise to Xcelerator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought by all your postings in here you are a seasoned SFMM person and would not need to use these as you have done it all. Yesterday (Labor Day Mon) didn't seem that busy and most of my party did all they chose to with little effort. Keep up the great postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
