disney4me2001 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Think they will continue the tradition during Halloween of turning colossus backwards? How cool would that be! Iron Colossus backwards. I agree that it would be a cool idea, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I feel like it won't happen for the same reason why Superman isn't currently running forward- guests want to experience the "new" version of the ride, so it doesn't make sense to change the ride experience right now. Plus I would imagine that the trains for TC aren't designed to run backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm sure the trains can go backwards...it's whether or not everything else on the ride can be essentially flipped around (brakes, lapbar releases, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Magic Mountain thought of it ahead a time. I'm sure they could have had RMC incorporate that into the design.

singemfrc Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 First they start construction on an RMC coaster, then they announce that Scream will be painted, then they finally remove Ninja's old train for rehab, now they're running both sides of Tatsu's station tonight. If they don't stop this they're going to make it harder to find things to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was at the park again today. I don't have any pictures - sorry. I stayed until after sunset to see the Holiday in the Park setup. It's very nice for their first year of doing this. Big light show in the DC Universe area. The lights change colors with the holiday music. On the path up to Katy's Kettle (on the way to Tatsu) is their winter wonderland. The trees are decorated with lights, snow, Coke polar bears, and a very festive mood. Santa's workshop is up near the Tatsu entrance for the kiddies. The main plaza is very nice. The fountain has changed with nice LED lighting. They even changed the YOLO video to show winter scenes. Nice decorations in YOLO plaza complete with a DJ, percussionist (same good guy from the summer), dancers, snow, lights and decorations. Again for their first effort for this, it turned out nice.

mts Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Here are a few shots from today. They were hustling that wood up there while the other RMC guy was welding like a boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossus_queen Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 At the backstage tour, Bonnie confirmed that soon the whole area from the theatre down the hill will be closed for construction and remodeling into "Screampunk District." It was confirmed that Ben and Jerrys will become a sandwich shop and more importantly SCREAM WILL GET REPAINTED (and possibly themed more properly?)! I can't wait! huh? I was told the old ice cream shop will be turned into a souvenir shop. are they still planning on doing this somewhere in the screampunk area? cant wait to see the new colossus merch. I will be saving up especially for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternate Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I am very excited about Twisted Colossus. Although I never really thought that SFMM was a bad park, it seems that the new ride is just one of many improvements the park is making. I think that it is going to turn out to be awesome, and I hope it has a single rider line. This is one of the only rides that I've ever eagerly followed construction progress on. I can't wait to ride it this summer, or hopefully spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatdaddy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I do recall them saying "Twisted-wiches" (spelling?) would be the sandwich shop in that building. They could always just put up a kiosk to sell merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeromyL Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 They have changed the flash pass add ons for full throttle. They are both available for the gold pass now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMGeek27 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm at the park as well. It's not busy at all. In line for Green Lantern right now. Superman has been closed all day so far but they just sent up a test while I am typing this. Hopefully it will be open soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bottle necking trying to get early entry at the gate Every once in a while they do this, everyone says how much they love it, and then the park stops doing it. This and the no bags express line should be an EVERY day thing. Gold Pass Guests getting in after the regular lines should never happen and yet it does all the time. They have changed the flash pass add ons for YOLOcoaster. They are both available for the gold pass now.Good news. I assume that is in anticipation of Twisted Colossus, which will probably be the new Platinum add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
