The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Superbatboy]

^ I have to agree with you on that final blue hill before the transfer to the green side. That looks like it would produce some serious airtime.

 

On the topic of the high-five element, it doesn't look like it would be that violent compared to the other false predictions of other rides in the past. Remember when many people were afraid of the transitions on Lightning Run to be painful? Well that prediction didn't turn out to be true of what I have heard of.

What final blue hill before the green lift hill? Yeah they are not building it

I think he/she is referring to the outward banked airtime hill before the removed element

I think right before that blue track ends is the outer bank, but instead of coming into the lift hill banked (in the other direction), it's now flat and a brake run

I am talking about this hill (look at where the purple train is at).

I already knew that the element before the lift hill was removed. I didn't think that it was an airtime hill, but it sucks that they didn't actually put it on the ride. Oh well, it might be to get right next to the other train, but they might actually add the element in after the first few months if the brakes were made for a catch-up to the other train.

Oh ok I thaught you meant the one after that one where it was supposed to be all twisty and then the lift.

[X2coasterfreak]

I was under the impression that the outward banked airtime hill is staying, but that little twist into the green lift is what was changed for the brake run.

[_IntaMAN_]

The outward banked airtime hill is staying, it as confirmed at the backstage tour.

[coasterlvr]

i'd say it's not going to drop as much as it was in the video. it appears that that dive will be cut down considerably. interested in seeing how it ends up.

[CanobieFan]

I'm sure they'll keep it low enough that you should get significant airtime. It's probably an advertising point on the coaster. Wicked Cyclone is advertising theirs.

Great pictures! Twisted colossus is really coming along now, love the high five element. Also really liking screams new paint job, i think it looks much better

[chargersmichael]

I love Scream's colors! Go Gators!

[CanobieFan]

Scream looks phenomenal. The Blue and Orange has really grown on me.

[Jew]

Back in my days at the park, those shipping containers were storage for retail. So I'm guessing they added more storage.

[ftdude16]

I have never been more excited about a roller coaster in my life. This thing is looking SEXY. The high five is just awesome, I just can't wait for this beast to open.

[Manic Monte]

That green track hi five section just looks wrong...in all the right ways!

[Goose]

LOOK AT GOOSE.

 

Yes, you called?

Not sure if they were added or moved, but a lot of the sea trains have been moved due to the park vacating backstage land that they apparently don't own. Why the park doesn't own the yard behind Apocalypse or even beyond the access road behind Batman and Riddler's is beyond me...

[DoubleDown]

 

This image really says it all when it comes to how twisty and awkward this coaster kinda looks, although I have no doubt it's going to be an amazing ride.

 

Can't wait to see how much more dysfunctional it looks as they continue on.

[AllenA07]

Yes, you called?

 

Steve-

 

Didn't know you were hanging around these parts!

[Heth]

That high-five element looks great! It looks so haphazard as well.

Because Newhall land and Farming wants to eventually develop everything around SFMM. That land would be a buffer between the park and future developments.

[Superbatboy]

I think we all knew this would be a great coaster, but seeing it actually go up really puts perspective on how awesome it's going to be.

 

What kind of air do you guys think that first small bunny hop after the first drop will have?

[Mechanic]

^ I am expecting the negative G that @ss float want to feel the thrill than amazing!!

 

[Manic Monte]

I think the REAL air is going to be on that second hill before the high five.
