Mater Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I can't believe how good the blue looks on the orange. Good choice, SFMM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The orange should really 'pop' against the grass they plan on planting underneath the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willthegolfer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It will pop well against asphalt and parking lines too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlvr Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I was really looking forward to that twisting dive and banked curve before zooming up the second lift. Hopefully The pacing isn't killed with a full stopping brake right there. I'll cross my fingers! Â me too, it looked like a definite highlight. but i'm assuming/hoping it will be a brake just for emergency only and for the most part not even used. the lifts have already been said to be able to sync the trains, to a certain extent, which is why if there's a brake here, i think it's just in case the previous train hasn't left the lift yet.

vedved82491 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I, too, wish they would have gone with purple track and orange supports. The park tends to stick to only a handful of colors and shades:  Red: X2, Viper, Ninja Orange: Tatsu, Goliath, Superman Yellow: Goldrusher, Tatsu Green: Riddler, Green Lantern, TC Blue: Batman, Scream, TC, Superman  At least X had Pink for a while and Scream had the Magenta-esque supports, but both of those are now gone.

WFChris Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ^It sounds like pink/purple don't handle the sun too well. Perhaps the standard colors they use are more sun resistent.

TM3988 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Love the orange for scream! I agree a darker blue or purple for the track would have been a better choice but either way I'm just really excited it's getting a make over! Looking good so far!

SimiGeek Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So they are suppose to open "Spring" for TC. I saw on their website (https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain/special-events/educational-event/teen-truth-live-drug-and-alcohol-abuse) that on March 25 they are suppose to have an event in the Magic Moments Theatre. Do you think that TC will be open by then? I assume they intend to open up the revised theatre so it would make sense that the ride is suppose to be done to open with the new ScreamPunk District.

WFChris Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm no expert, but I highly doubt the ride will be ready by March 25th. Also, they updated the website to say opening in '2015.' No season seems to be listed anymore. clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Based on the current state of Twisted Colossus, I don't think there's a chance it will be ready in late March. At the current pace of construction, I'd estimate there's about two more months of track work left to do, then the ride will probably need about a month and a half for electrical work, programming, and testing. More than likely just the theater will be open for the event, as it is right at the top of the path. Anything is possible, but I would be very surprised to see Twisted Colossus open before mid-May.

DoubleDown Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I would guestimate the park is shooting for the ride to be open around Memorial Day weekend. And that's if they start hustling. Â I would also guess they have something like 3000+ feet of track to still install. Â I like Screams! colors, but I also wish they would have stuck with a 3 color combination.

coasterfreak101 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Almost any other color would've gone better with blue in my opinion. Â Color theory disagrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimiGeek Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If it becomes a 2016 ride will we get an ezup flat? The park could use one of those. Also did they ever get the swings to work again? I know they painted it so it look liked it was going to be back up as of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm sure RMC is working hard to get the ride done by a certain time. I had no idea the amount of structure prep they were going to have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonRugbyGuy Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 aww darn.... I really liked Scream's colors  To be totally honest, I actually really liked Scream's colors. I thought it made the ride stand out. (However, I grew less fond of colors as they became sun faded). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vedved82491 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 rides closed are jet stream scream Swashbuckler Tidal wave wonder woman lasso of truth Whistlestop Train is that true   First off, use some punctuation to clarify your sentences and distinguish between two sentences.  Second, what do you mean is that true? What exactly are you asking? If you were at the park and saw they were closed, then you answered your own question already. Otherwise, why would anybody else know which rides are currently closed?
