RollerCoasterAwesome Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Full Throttle update May 11, 2013 Full throttle update time! 160 foot loop and a lot of empty space The only other building in this somewhat empty space From above you can see the entrance/exit ramps are being installed The station floor is also installed Nothing to see here... Electrical work continues on the LSM's Electrical work on the station and other electrical components More electrical boxes and such also the station has a railing surrounding the perimeter Scaffolding attached to the old Log Jammer station Something looks different here Oh chain linked fencing surrounding the tunnel that's it Full Throttle supports over the hill of death Trip prevention I presume, although the railing isn't really effective in serving such a purpose A twist and a dive Tunnel Forward dive into the tunnel backward launch out of the tunnel Temporary barriers surrounding the supports The other supports no longer have temporary barriers surrounding the supports but rather a nice new fence Tatsu wanted to be in the picture Full Throttle at sunset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Well this takes care of the concerns about the track being within reach of guests.... Â Â Nice update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Loya Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Are these kinds of trains okay for people with long legs because I remember somebody saying that the trains for S:UF weren't and then reading that these are the FT trains are the same as S:UF trains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Wow, that fence up top looks so out of place. And that chain link fence around the tunnel...any decent park would at least make it blend in with the photo op underneath. Oh, SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydra Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Wow. Those fences are pretty awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Gotta say that loop/hill looks pretty sweet. Â Just really trying not to hype this up since I have a terrible feeling it'll be a bit of a let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Why do I get the feeling that "fence" is going to be part of the word filter soon? Relax, folks--their main function is to stop stupid people from blundering into places where they shouldn't be, so you might say that form follows function.

_IntaMAN_ Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I also think that the fence around FT's supports looks so ugly and out of place, the least they could do is make it blend in with it's surrounding fences and make it blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Unfortunately, some stupid park patrons will likely turn it into "Fence: The Ride". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I agree that the fences look awful (particularly, in my opinion, the chain link one surrounding the entrance to the tunnel). The mountain was one of the few areas in the park that had some beautiful aesthetics. Sad to see they aren't trying to make the ride's infrastructure a bit more aesthetically appealing.

Koasterking48 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Can somebody tell me what they fenced off at the right corner of the fence? I've never been to MM so I have no idea what it is. To me it looks like a water fountain or an ashtray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah, those fences aren't too appealing but it is SFMM. On the bright side, the ride looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ728 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The fences on the hill will disappear when bushes and trees grow in around it. But I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to position and color the one near Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-G Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It just looks tacky, at least remove the Superman lights and paint the fence the same blue color as the existing ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Perhaps they are not finished? Knowing SFMM, they probably are, but I don't think it is fair to judge them yet. Â As far as the chain link fence for the tunnel, I believe there are standards on ride track fencing that they have to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Everyone is missing the big picture here....... SFMM actually added a fence!!! Isnt that enough even though it doesnt "look nice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 At least they didn't put nets over the Superman plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
