COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Its a single train they are shipping around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 From what I've heard they've been running BTR with one train...I assume the other (or one of the others? Cant remember if it has 2 or 3 total) is being fitted with the namtab chassis. I sure wish the park would officially announce the start date so I can book my flight.

DJeXeL Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 B:TR only has 2 trains. The reason for 1 train operation currently is because the other forward facing train has been removed so the backwards train can be assembled on the maintenance track.

GigaG Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does Namtab run with two trains? Are both backwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM64 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does Namtab run with two trains? Are both backwards? Yes. There are 2 backwards train chassis. It took awhile for SFGAm to get it running with 2, so I can only imagine how long SFMM will take!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It'll be up and running before "Speedy Gonzales blah blah blah" is built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks for that clarification, I didn't realize there were two backwards chassis. I wonder if they will probably start doing the first one now and then start doing The second one after the first one is up and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Nolte Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 When it comes to the 20 coasters/Colossus refurb thing, my take is this: They will announce another coaster will open just as Colossus is shut down, so that keeps the count at 19, when Colossus reopens it is 20. Big celebration...until they shut down Revolution for refurbishment just in time for its big anniversary. Then they get to do the 20th coaster celebration again along with the anniversary celebration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonlva Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 YOLOcoaster Sports Bar and Grill is official and will open March 22nd.  Batman and Colossus backwards will be open March 22nd.  Sky Tower, Jet Stream, Tidal Wave, and Roaring Rapids will be open March 22nd.  Daily Operation begins March 22nd.  Sounds like I'm gonna be at the park March 22nd.   Was this in a SFMM email? I cant find it…  Also from screamscape  I reached out to Sue Carpenter at Six Flags Magic Mountain this week to find out more about the Mooseburger Lodge project. According to Sue the old Mooseburger is no more. Starting March 22nd, when the park opens for daily operations, the restaurant will reopen as Full Throttle Sports Bar & Grill. The inside will have been completely gutted and renovated with a new sports enthusiast theme, with over 20 HDTV’s added to broadcast sports events to you from every direction.

Jew Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Smart move for SFMM. There's probably a lot of parents who will be hanging out there all day while their teenage kids ride the coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Monte Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sports bar in SFMM? Not sure how this will go over. Just seems so out of place. Â And that's exactly why I think it's a good idea. I know I'll be tempted to stop in there, where as before? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Have to add to the agrees here...I've never been that tempted to stop by Mooseburger before but I'm very intrigued about this new sports bar. I'll certainly stop by the next time I'm there. The big question is will any of us go back a second time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCXfreak Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Oh Good God! I can see it now, beer brawl on the local Kcal 9 news. Something about this just isn't sitting well with me, but you bet i will be ready on 3/22/2014 for naMtaB The Revenage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I always liked Mooseburger Lodge, good food, free drink refills, and only like a buck or two more expensive than the 'quick service' places. Oh, and the A/C. Â I don't think a sports bar is so out of place, I agree with Jew that the marketing is probably geared toward the adult parents that need a place to chill all day. A sports bar is much more appealing to a...lets be honest here...parent in their late 20's early 30's than a place with a moose that sings every 15 minutes (as much as I liked the strangely detailed themeing).

Jew Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Honestly, for future West Coast Bashes...I'll totally be spending my entire day in that bar, rather than actually being in the park while we wait between events! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 ROFL. I will still spend some extra time in the park, but I feel ya on this one. If probably be in there for an extended amount of time myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Seems like every park in the chain is going to receive a sports bar (I know that SFGAm got one last year and SFSTL is getting one this year). I think it is a smart move and should be an improvement over Mooseburger (even though I do like the Mooseburger at my home park). Parkgoers in their twenties will be hungry and be immediately drawn to the new bar. It has sports on TV, it has higher quality food, and it has beer. Plus, it will cost more, therefore making more money for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
