MylesG4L Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 this is kind of off topic in a way, but am I the only one who thinks that any B&M inverted Batman going backwards will be a death trap? hitting those corkscrews already yanks you, but imagine that backwards?

Jew Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I am going to go out on a limb and say that B&M probably thought of that when designing the new chassis to run backwards. Just a hunch though. But lets discuss that in the appropriate thread until if/when SFMM does the same. Edited January 22, 2013 by Jew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 2. You mean to tell me the only ride with a single-rider option is Viper? Â Maybe it's a trial? Many people suggest a single rider line at SF Great America. They only have a single rider line on Ragin Cajun (a spinning wild mouse which they are only allowed to put 3 adults in one car), but it would really help on the other coasters - especially the B&Ms. You can watch the trains come in on Raging Bull with usually between 4-10 empty seats (some 2 together) in every single train. It's still a high capacity ride, but the option to fill those seats would be great. It would help out even more on Superman. Â I hope this is a trial and eventually shows up on more popular coasters across the chain. Viper is an odd choice, but perhaps the station setup facilitated the trial?

JJLehto Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Sometimes work really is a pain, distracting me from what really counts...I remember when news for YOLO first broke, and we saw what it'd be.

JJLehto Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That's why I love the net! And more I look into the coasters more excited I am, and there's always been so many I've wanted to ride for ages but thanks to TTD, Superman seems weak and IDK how brutal Riddlers is!

skydye Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 This is a new feature of Magic Mountains news letter.

Â Yet here you are talking about it in a thread devoted to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Yes, many posters here have made fun of the "YOLO" tagline, but there is rarely such a thing as bad publicity.

dylanreich Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 2. You mean to tell me the only ride with a single-rider option is Viper? Â Umm... No, I don't. Riddler's Revenge and Green Lantern also have a single-rider option, and I also believe Revolution has a single-rider line. There aren't that many rides with them (unless I'm missing any), but at least it isn't like at some parks, including other SF parks, where you have to go through the normal line to get to the single rider line.

Sir Clinksalot Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I took the picture of the Single Rider sign because it was actually the first time I'd seen it. It may have been there for awhile but there were 2 or 3 signs signaling the Single Rider option for Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singemfrc Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 2. You mean to tell me the only ride with a single-rider option is Viper?I know there are others (Riddlers for sure), but they aren't conspicuous, especially during off season. 4. I downloaded two ride-wait apps: Coasterilla and Ride Hopper. Neither were reliable (I gave up on them), but I wasn't sure if maybe that was because they relied on user input and I was attending during a slow day/month. With RideHopper that is exactly correct. Users input the wait times, so if no one is using it, you get no wait times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrad Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I wonder how many people only know the coaster as YOLO and not by its given name? Â Me. Almost. Â Then I remembered it was named after an energy drink. Again, MM relying on what's popular with tweens/high schoolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
