Meh ... hopefully the music loop is at least an hour or more and will have some actual good songs in there.

[HBpiper]

This is starting to look awesome! It looked so stupid in the video but it's really coming to life!

Also, anyone else notice this guy on Goliath (and the girl in the back) on the new SFMM map? Haha

Here's an update taken a few mins ago. Loop structure going up.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

That shouldn't take long at all by the looks of it!

This is where one of the two trains will live 51 1/2 weeks out of the year.

 

 

Loving all the updates! It really does look like there will be a ton of great photo opportunities!

[Sir Clinksalot]

Interesting support structure. I get why the connectors for the track are on the left side just looks weird to me that they aren't in the middle.

 

Probably going to head up to the park tomorrow for a bit. How busy is it up there today?

Should or shouldn't?

According to RideHopper, very. Max waits on Tatsu and Goliath, 60-90 on X2 and SEFK, 45 on Viper really stands out. RideHopper info isnt guaranteed, but looking at everything together it looks pretty busy.

[Wes]

Yeah I think this week is peak spring break so the parks are going to be VERY busy.

[Mechanic]

I don't know if you saw , but Live It Up is on youtube and I think it awesome!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgurejfxYSQ

 

Those guys are trying way too hard to sound like AC/DC. The sad thing is that they do kind of sound like what AC/DC would sound like if they sucked.

All I have to say is

[Koasterking48]

My thoughts on the song...

[SFMMGeek27]

Looks awesome! I'm heading to the park on Saturday now for the ERT on Goliath and will snap some pics from then. I know it's gonna be busy. I wonder if its gonna be worse than during the week?

 

I'm planning on getting there before 10, being let in at 10, riding Goliath once or twice depending on time, then booking it to X2 before 10:30 to get in line for that. Then the normal Tatsu, Superman, then Apocalypse plan... For those of you who have been at the park this week: has Scream been running two trains this week? What about Apocalypse?

 

Loop looks awesome! Can't wait!

 

Song is eh.

[6flagsbrad]

The song isn't terrible, I just didn't understand the intro, kinda random and out of place.

The backside of the park (Goliath, LL:DOD, Scream, GL:FF) was pretty dead in the morning. Was able to nail all those rides before noon. After 1pm though, there was no escaping the lines. Riddler was an hour, Apocalypse was filled, Tatsu was snaking down the hill, from what I saw Superman snaked beyond the YOLOCoaster element, Viper was 10 mins, X2 was about 90 mins, and Revolution had quite a line. Still a fun day despite the crowds.

[IronWolfman]

^ LOL all these massive lines and then.... Viper's 10 minutes

[Sir Clinksalot]

Forgot tomorrow was Goliath ERT day. I'll just go then.

Very clearly and heavily influenced by AC/DC. Almost sounds like a mock tribute (not dissing it); the kind of tribute done with all session musicians . The opening is similar to Live Wire, and the vocals are very Brian Johnson... heck, I just noticed they use the words LIVE WIRE in the song. Maybe I'm not getting the clue - is this a tribute to AC/DC? I would go with the classic old song, but I'm sure it's very expensive.

Live wire is a song from Mötley Crüe. There is AC/DC inspiration I guess too.

[GayCoasterGuy]

Live wire is a song from Mötley Crüe.

 

Live Wire was a song by AC/DC in 1976, 5 years before Motley Crue existed

 

There is AC/DC inspiration I guess too.

Big time.

[TyRush]

Am i the only one that thinks its not that bad?

Unlike most kids now i actually like rock, this seems fine to me. Sure it probably could be better but hey, YOLO

[Sir Clinksalot]

^ It's not the worst song ever, I'll give it that much. But since they've made some deal with Roadrunner records I'm still afraid we'll be getting Nickelback in the queue.

 

I'd rather listen to this song every day for the rest of my life vs hear Nickelback.

[GayCoasterGuy]

I will bring my ipod and listen to the real AC/DC (Just kidding, I would never do that at a park.)

 

It's not that bad, just probably a bit annoying for some AC/DC fans I guess. Borrow, mix it up and change some licks as to avoid legal problems, market and sell to new demographic. Works just fine in the music industry.

[TyRush]

^I see your point
