Please delete post. I realize now it was stupid.

I wonder what the choice was to go with a continuous layout than a racing one. I do like it though because if they have at least 2 trains running, it kind of forces the trains to duel. But I guess what it all comes down to is how fast the operations are. That may be a problem....

 

ok

Did the park say the photos were taken without permission or just backstage? One of them looks like the person was standing right in the middle of the track, so either it was taken by a construction worker or someone seriously trespassing.

 

Photo integrity aside, OMG so much twistier than I thought!

[Jew]

It doesn't matter. The park sent us an email saying the photos were clearly taken from a backstage area and not authorized to be posted.

Currently at the park... Only one train on Tatsu... The other one is being worked on by maintenance. Currently in line for X2 and they have two trains on the track but they are only loading one. They a switching trains every 3 cycles. It is so weird!!

Thanks for posting these photos, finally see how the trick track and bunny hops look like.

[AnonymousReed]

Quick Question: How much are maze passes this year? Are they still $10 or something?

[Nrthwnd]

The bug is a sign of good luck, right?

I've heard promising things about early Fridays, but does anyone know how busy Magic Mountain will on Halloween morning before Fright Fest?

Thanks for posting these! Nice to get some "legit" photos!

[RyanTPM]

Those little camelbacks seem to be banked too!

[hydra]

Oh shit! I had do do a double take on that photo. I thought those were pieces waiting in the parking lot, not some awesome pre-lift bunny hops. Nice little surprise!

[SFOGdude25]

That pre-lift track looks like something I would make in NoLimits 2 as a joke! I would be laughing so hard riding through it.

yeah, there's a couple, then the trick track where it banks left and right. i'm really interested how this is going to feel riding. cause when you see it, and you can see it real good from Goliath's lift hill, it kinda looks like it could be painful. but i'll put my trust in Mr. Schilke's skills and assume it will be a fun little ride to the lift.

I just wonder what the speed will be through there? It has to be somewhat slow which could look and feel really funky when riding....

[cfc]

Those little "bunny hills" remind me a bit of the Ultimate at Lightwater Valley.

[rolercstrluvr]

The hills will definitely be a good start to what should be a world class RMC coaster.

Hopefully this per-lift section doesn't end up like this:

^ That's probably exactly what it's gonna be like. lol.

Thanks for the pictures, can't have enough.
