The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

^ Thank you Robb. I wish I could ride all of those right now!

[WFChris]

I didn't even realize that Nemesis had a 104 foot drop! It looks tiny in the videos!

Much like all those coasters pictured, the intensity of Twisted Colossus will play a big part in its ranking on the polls.

I keep thinking dirty whenever someone on this thread says "pull out". I need to stop being 13....

Why not just think of it as a positive G dale?

1. There is no reason to complain that this drop is not big enough.

2. Even if you really think that that is a problem, just remember that this ride has TWO of them. It has TWO of those steep RMC drops over 100 feet. The only other RMC coaster with anything like that is IRat, with the first and last drops. However, this one will be the first one in which the largest height is experienced TWICE.

 

It is safe to say that no other big coaster on Earth delivers an experience like that. While many mine trains have multiple lifts, the only other full sized coaster I can think of that reaches near its maximum height twice is The Beast. But even on this, the section after the second lift is quite short, containing a very gradual drop into a single large helix. But, TC is a big ride that delivers a near equally good experience off both lifts. That is truly unique.

 

On another note, which "track" of TC do you think will be better? It is difficult to tell, but I think that the blue side looks more exciting to me. On this side, you have the larger drop off the turnaround, as well as the straight airtime hill, faster zero-G roll, and final drop before the second lift. It is hard to tell, so which one do you out there think?

i just like bigger first drops, like the top 5 steel coasters. lol but i'll take dual 100 ft 80 degree-ers any day!

 

i think both tracks will be pretty equal. i think the double down will be pretty awesome. the dive into the green track, too. and i love the zero g stall.

It's even got a little twist in it, just like old Colossus did. Pairing this with an overdue repaint on Scream!, I'm having trouble seeing as to why people are whining. Maybe they're all "synced up" or something.

[DonGeorge]

Now that we're finished with our mindless mumblings about TC's drop, what do you believe will be the updated paint scheme for Scream?

Do you think it will get neat new colors, or will the normal colors be freshened up? Even if the latter does occur, I think SFMM could tie it into a theme somehow.

[MagicMountainMan]

As far as the new paint for Scream! I'm not sure if it will get completely new colors or if it will stay the same. Only reason being that they have brand new parts for Scream sitting underneath the coaster (still wrapped) that still have the same color scheme. Granted Six Flags tends not to plan too far in advance so perhaps the colors will change but if I were to hazard a guess I'm going to assume that the colors aren't changing, but then again I could be pleasantly surprised.

 

Even if the colors don't change, at least it's getting painted!!!

Only in the SFMM thread could you find complaining about a Rocky Mountain coaster...

[A113]

That drop alone is already better than three-quarters of the coasters in the State of California. Too stoked.

[iloveblueberries]

Tc's drops and layout look fine to me. More than fine actually. F--ing amazing.

[CPTCOASTER]

Can't wait til it's completed so the complaints can turn to gasps of excitement. (like what happens every time).the first drop is in even finished and it looks awesome!

[Nickstroberg]

I think it will be fantastic. As long as those "small" drops pack a punch, which I'm sure they will, I doubt we'll hear any more bitching after this puppy opens. And as for the Scream repainting debate, I honestly kind of hope it stays the same colors, for some reason I've always liked the color scheme (with fresh paint of course).

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Clearly you're unfamiliar with most SoCal theme park fans (and most SoCal'ers in general).

[DJeXeL]

As long as the wheels don't hit the bolts, I'll be happy.

[MrSum1_55]

Maybe all the people in SoCal are conplaining about the drop on this ride because they have never experienced for themselves what a good drop actually is.

I did a presentation in class where I used RMC as 1 topic & everyone was nothing but excited & shock when I showed them TC. It's funny seeing everyone's face when I show them what's coming to Cali as Medusa is our mega coaster growing up (pretty much still is) in NorCal. To go down that thing twice is going to be crazy, I'm not sure what new tingly feelings I'll feel throughout the ride I'm beyond excited.

I'm not riding it because it will hit the bolts and make the train fly off the tracks and kill everyone. Not riding it.

[Guy T. Koepp]

Yay! The bolt discussion is back! It never gets old!

[grsupercity]

When I was at that new walmart, i done did saw that on the news that a lady flew off that big wooden coaster in texas. They saids that was riding so fast the wheels shimmed and hit the bolts that hold the coaster is so unsafe

and finally after being a guest on this site for many years and mostly laughing my ass off on so many posts its time to join in. I just hope I don't get kicked out. I am counting the days that Twisted Colossus makes its' debut. My name says it all...I am a long time fan of MM and was their on Opening Day. Anyways cannot wait to add my two sense in to the forum.
