KBrylczyk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 probably the third best flume ride in So. Cal. Â So behind Splash Mountain, Timber Mountain Log Ride, and what else? Oh, so last place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singforfood Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If anything. MM needs some in park transportation for sure. Â For REAL. Disneyland isn't as big and doesn't have the massive hill and it still has the monorail and the train (and formerly the People Mover). The Orient Express is nice, but there definitely needs to be more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I haven't been to the park, so forgive me for asking, but doesn't SFMM have a skyway of some sort? And if they do is it useful as a transport ride?

singemfrc Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There used to be a monorail, but all that's left are a couple supports and the ruins of an old station. Currently all they have in the way of transportation is the Oriental Express, a two way funicular that shuttles you up and down the steep mountain. On really hot days it becomes my favorite ride in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder why they took it out. Â At least they have a funicular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Back in the day, there was also a SkyWay where Superman currently stands (station is still visible behind Superman gift kiosk and restroom area). Â And (besides the already discussed metro and Orient Express), there was another weird transport that went from Jetstream to Ninja's current station. If you think the station layout is weird, it's because it used to be home to a large circular platform that cycled cars up and down the hill. Unfortunately I'm not familiar at all with this ride, and if anybody has pictures, it would be great to see! The lower station for that ride is currently standing to the left of Jet Stream's entrance and Ninja's final lift hill. Â For a park SFMM's size, it is a little weird that it doesn't have a better park-wide transportation system. Personally, being the 'thrill capital of the world,' I would love to see a launch coaster type ride, circling the park and having 3 or 4 stations. Of course its a pipe dream, but in my head, it's a good pipe dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Remember. Mm had two skyways. The station at the top of the mountain was a dual. With one heading down toward riddlers revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 ^I do not remember that! I got to ride the SkyWay exactly ONCE in my lifetime, and at that time, for the life of me I only recall it going from Ninja to Superman's tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 This is true. They closed one side down. Even when I first started going I. The late eighties. It was only one side. But I've seen old maps, and if you look at the google map you can still see the upper building with its two exits for both skyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I agree MM needs more than just the Orient Express. I wouldn't complain if the park was flat like a Knott's or a CP, but on a hot day MM's terrain feels like the Himalayas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
