Psyclone: Why is this coaster still standing? Come on, hurry the heck up! <---pushing down the detonator

[GMAN962]

Is Psyclone gone yet?!

 

I wanna see it being demolished......and that lift chain!

^ I think I'd actually pay for a video of the demolition...

[coasterjunkie91350]

I know this might sound crazy but i had a few ideas to help get things started.

 

1 a sledgehammer

 

2 my brother in laws tow truck with the boom on it

 

3 about 100 tpr members to join in the destruction

 

if i had these 3 things i think it would take about a day and a half to finish

I have no pictures to back it up, however as of 12:45 this afternoon, Psyclone is no longer standing. All that was left was a bit of the transfer track house and the queue house/station. It is a pretty bare skyline next to deja vu.

This is weird hearing all of this, I've never had a horrible experience at SFMM during a Cheer Day. It might be a bit more annoying walking around, but generally I've found that most of the cheerleaders and their families aren't there to ride so lines are short. In fact, some friends went yesterday and did all the coasters (that were open) pretty fast!

 

Now, Cheerleader days at Paramount parks...that's a whole nother story!!!

 

Or WDW as well! *shudder*

Wow! I'm going up there Saturday with a friend of mine who is buying a Pass, so it will be interesting to see how the area looks now. I always thought Psyclone looked good, even though I thought it rode terribly. Here's hoping they put that area to better use!

[kraxleRIDAH]

Now that Psyclone has been completed razed down (as of today), I think we should expect Flashback to be gone within the next few weeks. Can't wait to see these two plots of land empty -- should be a nice surprise and change the look of the two areas of the park a lot.

[Crazy4Coasters!]

i can't wait to see that big empty gap where psyclone used to be... i wanna see pictures!

[sixflagsmagicmountain]

Me, too!!! I really want to see some pictures of it all torn down.

[coasterjunkie91350]

Untill i see photos i wont belive it no coaster can get torn down that quick .i was wondering if it did happen and why didnt it show up in the paper

This is great news! Are there scraps laying around or is the area completely clean?

Coasters can be torn down really quick, and in fact, I think Texas Cyclone was demolished in a day. I think it was a good move to get rid of these coasters since one was SBNO, and the other didn't seem to get many riders.(Unlike the good SF designed cyclone clone)

 

Airtime-How did SF build two completely different coasters of the same design-&Gravity

[ebl]

So Psyclone has been torn down?

[GMAN962]

^Yup! I just wish I could have seen it.

[coasterjunkie91350]

R.I.P. Psyclone we will never forget you

[almightyfire]

the psyclone was the worse coaster there hell eva. it was rough and slow. magic mountain needs an up to date woodie. colossus isnt fun. i dont like coasters that slow down to go around bends.

[GMAN962]

^TELL SFMM TO MAKE AN INTAMIN BALDER CLONE!!!! THAT'S BE AWESOME!!!

 

But seriously, I loved both of those rides. Even if psyclone hurt. It was a lot of fun, and brings back memories. Oh well! R.I.P., Psyclone.

 

-Mike

[coasterjunkie91350]

I thought it was a fun ride even if it beat you up i use to laugh cause mexicans would feak out cause of how rough it was and curse in spanish etc

[TatsuXtreme]

I WANT PICS!!! lol

[robbalvey]

There IS a god! Seriously, Psyclone needed killing. There was nothing redeaming about it at all. Hearing this news makes me so happy!

***Psyclone***

3/23/1991 to 2006

 

 

- We met at a private party late September

 

- You needed resetting

 

-I went up quick

 

-Little did I know you were really quite sick

 

-One hour I sat as they were trying to get you back

 

- Suddenly I heard a large crack

 

- The train started to move

 

- Things seemed to improve ....

...

- Many months would pass

 

-I would push reset

 

-You would issue an E-stop

 

- I don't care that this doesn't rhyme ...

 

- Now Burn in hell you POS.

now i am not happy that it is torn down or sad. I see a lot of people want rides removed, why? just dont stand in line. someone likes it. all it does it cut down on variety. i just want them to put more coasters not take away. i can see if there was no room for new rides and u need to cut down on less popular rides to make room for new but this isnt the case with the psyclone.

Dude the ride was falling apart anyway. Reguardless of how you feel they needed to remove it make the park fit with there family stratagy im sorry if your upset about it but what can one guy do against a corperate bigwig like snyder .
