thrillseeker4552 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Didn't the original T-rex concept have a dualing portion? Chain lift first section and the 2nd section would launch and race the first section? Sounds a lot like Twisted Colossus, minus the launch. And knowing SFMM, it would never race lol. I'm glad to finally see some teasers up. I think this basically confirms it is a roller coaster. Can't wait for the announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a video of the T Rex concept shown and IAAPA and it matched what you described. I think it would be really cool if this is what their new roller coaster ends up being. But the 2 is better than 1 has me perplexed as to what they would be making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Hurts Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hmmm............. very interesting! So many thoughts about the ride. Hope they really make good use of that land and not waste it like they did with Yolo! I still think that coaster could have been put somewhere else in the park instead of the old Log Jammer site.

B&MIntaminGCI Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It might be a double launch coaster? Isn't it rumored to be a Mack? Most Mack launchers of recent always seem to have two launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 They are going to brush the spiderwebs off of Batman and Robin: The Chiller and install it, marketing it as a new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Monte Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I was totally gonna post those here too but reddits easier from the phone. Up vote me! But seriously, a racer and a launcher? And what victory are they talking about? The "victory" is probably the first park to 20 roller coasters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliHorton Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I could actually see something like a new Mack coaster and then another flat ride in the area! Maybe like a Zamperla Endeavor. Or they could add a Skywarp and they would be adding two new coasters! That'd be pretty spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedtatsu805 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Could it be possible that they're getting two coasters? There's no way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedtatsu805 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 To be honest they do have a lot more land to work with than it looks like. Especially if they remove the go karts. They already confirmed that Aftermath is coming back for fright fest this year at midsummer scream, but that space could very well become part of the project after fright fest.

SteVeUrkle Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Launching, count down, racing, victory...two is better than one... I don't think they're being very vague here. A racing, side by side coaster with 2 separate racing tracks, that launches...does one of these even exist? If not, I can see MM grabbing that as a "first" record, not to mention all the other stuff they could throw in there. I saw a picture of a Vekoma model doing precisely these types of maneuvers today on the Vekoma site. I have a feeling it's going to be a Vekoma. Which isn't a bad thing with all the awesome products they've been releasing lately. Here's a link: https://www.vekoma.com/index.php/family-coasters/single-car-launch-coaster They are going to brush the spiderwebs off of Batman and Robin: The Chiller and install it, marketing it as a new ride. I would have no problem with this if they could get it working as originally intentended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I believe that these are the same clues that six flags great America is feeding us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Are we all forgeting about the Six Flags survey with the ridiculous nolimits coaster design that is so ridiculous and if there is any way in hell it gets built I will s*it myself? That construction area is just a red herring lol. Or they are getting two new coasters. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shut It Down Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I’m betting that the “two is better than one” clue means the ride will feature two launches. Seems to be the most logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I am pretty skeptical of the Mack rumor (those things are expensive!). I also doubt it will have a dual-tracked ride (also expensive and redundant after TC 3 years ago). Neither of those things line up with how Six Flags has been financially operating for the past decade. I do think 2 launches sounds reasonable, but I still am not getting my hopes up too high.

Are you the one with "inside sources" at RMC? Have you heard anything? If it's not Mack, my guess is another Premier Launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossed Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I always hope Magic Mountain is going to blow me away with their addition. If this thing is impressive at all, I'll be making a return trip next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Part of me really wants to get pumped for this addition since there are so many possibilities, but the other part of me has to remember back in 2012 when they were gonna add a huge new coaster to the park, and while Full Throttle is fun, I don't think anybody will argue that it didn't quite turn out as expected. Also, this is Six Flags, and I just find it really difficult to believe they will drop a ton of money on a huge Mack coaster or something similar. Of course, I REALLY hope I'm wrong!

Jason Maier Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I take it that Green Lantern: First Flight is still out of action? If I make it out to MM next year, what the hell; I'd give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that video was the FIRST thing I thought of when j saw the construction wall posters. . . But yeah, I remembered the video and how "out there" it was so I didn't even give it a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastin' thru life Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Mobius racer like TC but launches instead of lifthills? Tho would have to be a loooooong circuit for it to actually race so I guess that's out...I hope it's not a racer simply because that probably doubles the price per linear foot so essentially a racer would be another half a coaster when they could spend the same on one track, twice the length..

But I also don't see this being an RMC project. Sidenote - I don't really think there will be any domestic RMCs for 2019. No strong rumors, no closing wood coasters...
