Steeple chase 2019

 

Parkbros posted a video on YouTube a few hours ago. Apparently they've been asking a lot of the employees and the general consensus is that it's gonna be a "family themed" coaster. Magic Mountain better start polishing up that silver platter that they're gonna hand their Thrill Capital of the World title over to Cedar Point on.

The park employees know nothing, so I call BS

What an absoultely awful video. Any guest who goes around "bothering" employees asking about a new ride should be removed from the park and have their annual pass taken away. Those employees are there to DO THEIR JOB not answer your stupid questions because you want to get more hits on a poorly produced YouTube video 5 days before the official announcement.

 

And holy shit, is this the kind of theme park video people want these days??? A totally uninformed person yammering about on a subject they clearly know NOTHING about while looking at shaky cam pictures of dirt and trash cans????

 

I mean, I can go do that in my neighborhood since we still have several houses under construction here and I can go film their concrete pads and construction dumpsters while I just sit and make up "facts" about theme parks or new rides that I know nothing about.

 

Wow, that was 4 minutes I'll never get back and I can't believe I made it that far into the video!

^ LMAO...

 

OH my God, I love "keeping it real" Robb. Finally saying what many of us have been thinking.

 

I can see now I may have to avoid all things SFMM after this announcement. SF fans can be some of the most negative, unappreciative babies on the internet.

I don't know who or what a parkbros is, so I'm not going to bother to look them up...

 

I'll just agree with Robb's sentiment that it's stupid to ask line employees what is going on.

Ohhh ParkBros... I trust them as much as I trust a straw poll of random employees.

They are generally not good, but their talk of the Vekoma formula 1 type racing coaster actually makes sense. The rumor now is the new coaster is more family oriented and that would fit the bill. It's kind of like if you made Backlot Stunt into a duelling racing coaster(4 passengers per vehicle), the launch is not super fast, but enough to thrill some enthusiast,but not enough to scare off families.

I'm going to laugh my ass off this ends up being racing DoDonpa's or something like that!

I'm going to laugh ny ASS off if it's a Steeplechase or even the Vekoma FM 1 b/c SFMM fanboys are already whining about any type of family friendly coaster on social media.

Besides West Coast Bash at SFMM on Sept.08, this is also happening the following Friday....

[SharkTums]

As much as I would love racing Dodonpa's, I would sacrifice them just to drink the tears of the MM Fanboys with a more family thrill coaster instead!

I wouldn't. The S&S Steeplechase looks fun and the Formlula 1 looks fantastic!

 

The fanboys would complaint about a 500ft Intamin because it's too....whatever their bitching is about this year. I hardly care what they think.

If it's a Steeplechase I have a feeling it won't just be fanboys complaining. The Formula 1 would please all except the hardcore fanboys.

Yeah the Steeplechase would cause heads too explode. I think they are safe there though because SFMM would never be that classy to bring back a classic ride like that. Formula 1 though, that's right up their alley. Cheap, short, kinda trashy, but passable as a thrill ride.

No matter what they get, I'm not heading back to the LA parks till Star Wars Land opens in 2020

[Manic Monte]

^ I think that is a sentiment shared by many.

Fixed.

Will be there with my gays!

 

Took a few of my straight friends years ago and they had a blast.

[E. Robert Pugh]

Honestly though? You're right, I would be a little butthurt if it were a family coaster. It's their 20th coaster and the self-proclaimed Thrill Capital of the World goes small? It doesn't make sense. You'd think they'd want to make it a statement of some kind, right?

 

But... It might also make total sense to the park and I just have to accept that as a total outsider.

 

The real question is what's coming in 2020?
