thank you jahan!

great job!

I agree with Jahan, i hate it when ride ops have mobile phones at their posts.

 

When i was at Oakwood they had mobible phones and mp3 players, this really got me a bit cheesed off. Because they could be listening to their favourite song and mischeck your restraint and cause you to fall out. You never know.

 

Right time to start ranting on another forum.....

[pvcoasterguy]

Well, SFMM doesn't look *that* bad in this one. Hopefully they're improving (at least from Robb and Elissa's last trip.)

 

The A&E show thing does look really tacky. I think the V2's are getting the overlay also, as is Medusa as SFMW...

 

Anyway, nice pictures!

[Ed]

Hurray for updates!

 

Boo for stickers on Goliath.

[verticalzero]

If any ride Ops has a MP3 or Mobile Phone in their hands while working in the control room / area they should be reported, it's so dangerous if they mis-check your OHR and something happens.

 

Good idea to have a 1 thead for a park as this will def cutdown on the notes posted.

[a7x4ever000]

great job man! yay for updates!!

 

the ride ops who use their cell phones WHILE ON DUTY needs to be taken out and shot!

[lapseofreason]

Cool update.

 

All that crap on Goliath looks REALLY tacky. Stupid A&E.

 

Yay for Flashback pictures! I should have done a "Flashback isn't opening" update when I was there the other day. Oh well.

[AdamFT]

Nice update!

 

Just wondering if you could point me in the direction of the photo you used in your post without the writing and stuffs on it? As its great. A desktop sized one would be even better !

[the_rock401]

Very nice, Jahan

 

Vertical Velocity at SFGAm had all the Driving Force ads, about the three Force sisters. However, it hadn't overrrun the station yet.

[Loser_nerd]

Ok, since its for all updates, here is an update from yesterday. Operations sucked, they ran one train on tatsu most of the day. The fastlane line was fortyfive minuets to an hour long. DejaVu only had three opps and they were all messing around. They were letting people come up the exit ramps to ride and there was no one asigning seats. Every one prety much floded the station which ment no one could use the single rider line. Every thing else was just ok. Oh, and to top it off some one pulled the fire alarm in tatsu and it took at least forty minuets for some one to come and turn it off. My ears felt like they were bleading by the time i got on. Expect another crapy update saturday.

[CKY Lunatic]

Holy crap, that guy getting arrested DID look like Joey!

[speedracer]

Xcellent pix! (my new desktop!):

[colossus]

that pic is so old

[robbalvey]

^ But not as old as me!

[ShoubraStreet74]

Oh wow this thread is an excellent idea! Several times I have had a comment or question about SFMM but didn't think it's worth making a whole thread about. It's also great to see your updates again. I was missing the Tatsu updates so much.

[4718]

Nice one Jahan, but I see that you leave out the news on a ride re-opening that people would actually care about, good old Thrill Shot!

[colossus]

omg

Check it out they took down the building for future enjoyment wall in front of flashback.

I also saw mechanics working in the station.

sorry its so bad cell phone camra

[arrowfanman]

Thanks for the pic. I had heard of this from a friend.

 

 

And just to let you guys know, about the timing.....Shapiro was in the park on Wednesday.

[jdsmartdude911]

could this be a sign of things to come?

like me finally getting my FB credit?

[colossus]

check out what i found at screamscape

looks like the magic mountain may not be turned into a housing development.

[arrowfanman]

I just want to give a friendly reminder that at this point, there's as much of a chance of it reopening as there is of it being torn down. For all we know, they just needed some spare parts to fix the clamp that holds Spinouts closed-chain shut.

Holy crap, I don't think I've ever seen it without that wall up.

Cool... I hope they're actually doing something with it.... riiight....
