coasterbill Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks for the report. I still don't get why people think Scream is rough... ugly? Yes. Out of place? Yes. But not rough. I guess it's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 ^ I'm with you on Scream. I like it. I got a 7 in a row mini marathon yesterday morning before lunch. The line got too long too fast on Goliath. I too wish they'd release the seats on Riddler. I don't ride it this way. We already have a sit down coaster...

iloveblueberries Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 ^I've had a lot of smooth rides on Scream!, but I do recall a couple of times that were headbangers. I believe it was the front row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singemfrc Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm visiting the park on Tuesday, December 30th, and am bringing a friend who has never been. The forecast says that there will be showers throughout the day, with a 50% chance of rain. Could you guys let me know what rides you anticipate will go down due to weather? The wind should hopefully not be an issue. Thanks Rain is not usually a huge issue at SFMM as long as it isn't accompanied by wind and as long as it isn't heavy rain. X2 is always the first coaster to go down in any kind of weather, the others likely to close earlier in my experience are Superman, YOLO, and Goliath in that order. This is for sprinkles and light rain, if you get heavy sustained rain you can expect all coasters to close until the rain subsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am1500 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The park should really fix the front gate situation. With my gold pass I should be able to get in 10 minutes early into the park. Only because of the long time in the metal detector line I got to the gold pass line literally 30 seconds after 10:30 am and the employees would not let me in through the gold pass gate. Minus 100 customer service points magic mountain. Â They are doing a bunch of progress on the other turnaround which is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am1500 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 HHere is construction photo I took. Just a quick pick I took of them taking out huge chunks of the turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hello all, I have scoured this thread for what I am looking for but so far no luck. I am looking for the X2 audio (soundtrack) beginning with The Door's "Lizard King" "is everybody in? Is everybody in? the Ceremony is about to begin..." I loved this part of the audio , it played before dispatch and I thought it was a great fit. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasternut Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 My last day at the mountain today for 2014. I left around 3 and nearly 3 lots full of cars again. Riddler never opened while I was there. They were testing with seats locked down - still. Those RMC guys are really ripping down that turnaround on Colossus as stated earlier in this thread. Â I was sad leaving today since I've been there for 27 days this year. Oh well, bring on 2015, and the nicer weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossus_queen Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 just some shots from sunday. nothing special. I have a random question, im sure this has been answered before but I cant find it. is there a reason why "yolocoaster's" real name cant be said on here as if it was like swearing? im just curious. Â also my input on the riddler fiasco I have to agree with (almost) everyone on here that the seats being locked in the low position was quite painful! riddler WAS at my #5 spot on a top 10 I was working on, but I hope this issue is temporary, but if not, I will be putting it even lower. it was meant to be a stand up coaster, unique to magic mountain. hard to get a decent shot without taking photo stills on scream or goliath or something. but hey, im not a professional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 ^During advertisement of Yolocoaster the promo video said "YOLO", which was the trending teen acronym at the time. It stands for You Only Live Once so therefore FT will forever be called Yolocoaster on TPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTown661 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 7:26 am rt now and clouds moving in. Rain planned for around 4pm per KTLA and also perhaps snow? Â Do they offer snow refunds or I guess it can just roll into Holiday in The Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's about 48 degrees this morning a few miles south of the park. Snow doesn't seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singemfrc Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Assuming there's no wind this would be an awesome day at the park. Cold and overcast keeps most GP away from the park but doesn't shut down the rides. My kind of amusement park weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Tatsu 20 min wait at 2:30 but Ninja 45 min. Cold cold cold here near Tatsu. and vertical just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassinthegrass Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Oh south Cali... 48 and cloudy seems like a nice day in New York this time of the year...

coasterlvr Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Looks like they are completet trimming down that second turnaround, didnt think it was going to get that big of a trim  i think the construction guy said in a video roughly 2/3 of it would be chopped down. most of the ride seems fairly low to the ground after the high five.  i also like how Alan Schilke said he didn't want to use "high five" cause it doesn't make sense. you don't high five going the same way. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â No hard feelings, just gave me a good chuckle! Construction looks good, slow, but good... Â Â ...which is why we all live as far away from New York as possible! And yes, even people that moved here from Alaska know that 48 in Cali is cold so the comparison to New York is totally unnecessary. Â Speaking of cold weather, I'm totally digging Colossus's 'shrinkage' hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
