SoCalCoasters Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 There's been some cool photos of the construction from backstage floating around various sites like Screamscape, sounds like there was some kind of a special media hard hat tour today. I'm really looking forward to this ride and the new details we've been hearing about the FullThrottle area. It may not be the most impressive attempt at a themed area, but it looks like SFMM will be putting quite a decent amount of effort into making the area look nice.

Musketeer Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 It might be a bit short and gimmicky, but I'm optimistic that this will give a good ride (however brief that might be). Given the height of the loop and top hat, I imagine the launches will be fairly intense. Have any pics of the trains appeared yet? Would be awesome if they have lapbar-only restraints. I think this will be a great ride too, despite it's length. I really like Premier rides and anything that launches is pretty awesome anyway! If this ride really has lap-bar only cars, that will make it even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 *rubbing eyes* Am I really seeing what I'm seeing?! Are you looking at porn? If so, then yes. Coaster porn that is Maybe SFMM finally said "YOLO...let's get this thing vertical now!" We'll see how far YOLOcoaster gets when I come down in April...watch it be just 1 other track segment placed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJnCFL Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Are you looking at porn? If so, then yes. Oh that's what that is, I thought it was a big crane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasternut Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm sure it's just me, but I think the track and artist rendering of the trains looks old fashioned. I'm not impressed with "the look" of this ride. I'm sure I'll enjoy it though. Just for me, visually non impressive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks to SirClinksalot, we have an awesome Full Throttle update from yesterday's construction tour! Check out all this awesomeness... To get from the parking lot, you now ride in these FULL THROTTLE approved buses! It SURE is!!!! Today's construction tour doesn't just focus on mounds of dirt! Oh, no... there is MUCH more to see! Read on... "Go this way... REALLY fast... if something gets in your way... TURN!" This is the sacred fire hydrant looking thingy. No touchy or you get wrist slapped by the evil munchkins! OH! MY! GOD! Is that... yes... wait... am I see things? No... it's FULLFREAKINTHROTTLE SUPPORTS!!!! OMG! OMG! OMG! This is a picture of a road, because we have road enthusiasts in our group, and we wouldn't want to disappoint them. This is where Prince Desmond lives. When YOLOcoaster opens, they will be serving YOLOwings and YOLOfreestyle Coke in here! The "Full Throttle" lifestyle includes lots of cement blocks and a dirt bike. "Hey, can you get your lunch box off our footers? We got work to do here, man!" The back side of log flume. This machine haunts me in my dreams! We are now being taken to a place where something incredible...magical...beyond words is about to happen... Mr. Crane is about to do something that has never been done before... Is that.... WTH?!?! Is it? OMG! FULL THROTTLE TRACK!!!! SQUEE!!!!! YOLO!!!! CAREFUL MR. CRANE! DON'T DROP IT!!!! Yes, this is the first piece of FullFreakinThrottle aka YOLOcoaster track being lifted into place! And there is MORE TRACK!!! This ride is gonna go up quick, isn't it? Not only does YOLOcoaster have new track, but when Full Throttle opens, there will also be YOLOwings! Hot Habanero is the quintessential definition of "YOLOwings!" YOLOwings and YOLOfries!!! (The marketing people can thank us later for giving them all these awesome product names) And now comes the "Sea of track" photos! There is so much track out here, you could almost build a roller coaster out of it! This short little nubby piece is my favorite of all the YOLOcoaster track pieces! I just want to reach out and pet it! "I think I look pretty freakin' SWEET in this YOLOhat, don't you think?" Post below if you're excited about Full Throttle this summer at Six Flags Magic Mountain!!! Edited March 1, 2013 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm getting a bit more excited about Full Throttle now. I read somewhere regarding one of the tours that we should have a bit of airtime over that hill. I'm also looking forward to trying those wings, but not looking forward to those prices.

Skycoastin Steve Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Wow, so this ride DOES exist. And I still love the false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 It's good to see SFMM building Full Throttle so quickly. Maybe, we can see a June opening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I would guess that the difficult part will be the programming and testing. Lets see how that goes before we get our hopes up! Or maybe construction will stop because it's too hot outside today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Tim mentioned that after the tunnel is done they are going to do the track on the back-side, over Superman Plaza and down to the exit of the loop. Then the crane will be moved and they will do the station track prior to completing the Loop, Top-Hat and launch so they can do all the electronics, build the station, etc. They anticipate that vertical construction would be done by early April.

Randomman295 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I suppose it's about time. Hopefully the former Log Jammer area won't look like a wreck for long... Do any of you know what they plan to do with all that extra dirt? I don't recall the launch, station, and queue taking up all of that room. Then again, I should probably just assume that they're going to pull another "Six Flags" on us and call it theming. In that case, I think I need to update my list: YOLOcoaster: Dirt Goldrusher: Rust Scream: Asphalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Good to see them laying some track at last. I usually like Premier launched coasters, so I'm looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) ^That is amazing! I can only imagine when the ride sign is put up... EDIT: v No matter if it's a different font. I'm so used to referring to it as YOLOcoaster that I didn't even catch it at first. Edited March 1, 2013 by Myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
