CreditCrazy Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 ^^ Go to X2 first, then Tatsu, then Deja Vu/Terminator. Terminator's line never seems to get too long, so if you do those four coasters in that order you should get on each of them with little to no wait.

The Alex Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 What's left at SFNO? There's a - Vekoma Hurricane (ex-Joker's Revenge at SFFT) - Vekoma Boomerang - Vekoma Kiddie Thing and a L&T Systems Wild Mouse. And mold. We can give you a lot of moldy mold. [EDIT] Oh, and the CCI woodie, which would be a nightmare to refurbish and transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Saturday you do not, I repeat DO NOT want to save X2 for any other time. There will never be a shorter line than first thing in the morning. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps294 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 ^^ I herd that the kiddi coaster (Road Runner), was removed by Six Flags? Could it go to SFMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some sort of coaster dude Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 ^^ I herd that the kiddi coaster (Road Runner), was removed by Six Flags? Could it go to SFMM? do people with flashpass get to skip terminators pre-show ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 ^ No. The Flash Pass line merges with the standby line just before the first pre-show. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If ya'll don't mind me asking, what was Colossus like back in the day? Back before it had the mcbr? Was it actually a decent/good ride back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 ^ I rode Colossus in its opening year (1978). After my first ride, I said that someone was going to die on it because of the forces and roughness. Sure enough, six months later, someone did. Ejector air like you've never felt. Roughest ride in the West...or anywhere. One big, mean bad boy. Today? An overgrown kiddie coaster. My First Woodie. Fail. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 ^Even so, Collosus does well enough for a thirty year old ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongker Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Is there any word (rumored or official) if Colossus is on Six Flags' list for a "Texas Giant" style make-over? Given it's age, I'm wondering if corporate is going to see how things pan out at SFOT before putting their other iconic woodies under the knife. Timberliners? I too remember when it was a great ride. Didn't get to ride when it was running PTC's However, even with the current Morgan trains the ride was much better without the mid-course block brake (which I was told was added to facilitate running 3 trains on each side). SIDENOTE: Revolution also kicked a** before the OTSR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Funny how Colossus was modified for three-train operation, and how often does it actually do that? At least I don't see it very often. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ^Dude, seriously, let it go. You want to confirm or deny that there was a rumor that they were getting a drop tower?! WHAT?!!? If you 'heard' there was a rumor, then guess what, you confirmed there was a rumor. I never heard it, but then again, I'm not a 15 year old SFGAd fan boy, so who knows.

CoasterPrince Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Why SFMM? Simple, they recently invested $10mil on X to “upgrade” it, something that wouldn’t be done at a seasonal park. Once again, SFMM is NOT a seasonal park, it is open year round and SF would get the best return from the ride. In a recent interview with Theme Park Review, Mark Shapiro, Six Flags CEO, was quoted as saying “Will Six Flags Magic Mountain gain back the coaster capital status? In due time, absolutely.” Currently Magic Mountain has 16 coasters, and is tied for second place for most coasters in a single park (Cedar Point has 17, the most and Canada’s Wonderland has 16 as well). While Shapiro has said that in 2009, SFMM would be getting a coaster, he has said that it will NOT be a Tony Hawk or Dark Knight style coaster. It is widely believed that it will be a family ride. In the recent ACE News it was reported that Shapiro likes coasters with “big drops” (page 14) and that the new coaster will be more his style. Honestly, a Dive Coaster would fit into this as the main point of the Dive design is the drop. It is also widely rumored that SFMM will be getting some sort of Drop tower for 2009. A Dive coaster fits both of these purposes, it is a coaster and a Drop Tower in one. I'll stop reading into stuff, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ^^ Source? That's the only place I've seen anything about a drop tower. None of the management at SFMM even hinted about such a thing during any events I attended. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disneylander Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've also heard some rumors about a 2009 Drop Tower addition. I forget where, but I know I've heard them somewhere. Unfortunately, it seems that we are NOT, in fact, getting a drop tower for 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterPrince Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thomaskelly427.com Why would you let "kids" join if your going to bash them everytime you get the chance. Maybe TPR should just be an adult site since in your opinions no kid on here has anything important to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disneylander Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ^ We're not bashing you because you're a kid (hey, I'm 17). We're just disagreeing with you because your question came straight out of left field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ^^ While I can't list anyone specifically, not all kids post stuff worthy of bashing. And there are adults on here who do post crap. So it goes both ways. Hint: When you post something of questionable nature, include your source. And what is "Thomaskelly427.com" anyway? I've been around the theme park website world for over ten years and have never heard of it. And what is their claim to fame? Eric EDIT: I need to type faster.

atem122 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Six Flags Magic Mountain is letting TPR member 'Atem122' test out their new for 09 drop tower. Woah! The source never lies! But on a serious note, as I've said before earlier in this thread, SFMM management really needs to look into a gyro drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
