chickenbowl Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Just a thought, but if Magic Mountain builds a new coaster for 2012, I hope it's not focused on inversions. I just saw that the park has the record for the most inversions in a park at 35. The second place park is Thorpe Park with 22. I think we have more than enough inversions. It's time to focus on airtime! I would love an Intamin Mega or Giga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo234 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 id like to see some good flats for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 500' Windseeker! Which would include a special feature that drops you like a drop ride, two flat rides in one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrock Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Why are some of the supports white and some black? Interesting. They never changed the color scheme from when it was going to open as "Mr. Six's Dance Coaster" in 2010. Here is a picture from that press release: http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/mr-six-coaster-magic-6311/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Knotts Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Unfortunately, flat rides can't compete with all the big projects opening in so-cal in 2012, at least that's the way the park will see it. I can only hope they'll start adding them in along with the bigger projects, kind of like what's happening with Roadrunner. A decent sized drop tower, an S&S swing and a sprinkling of smaller family style flats would do wonders for SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I think it would be good if the station turned out like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 As long as the station looks better than Tatsu's drive thru McDonalds motif! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 ^^ Actually, if it's the same kind/type/size of station that INSANE is at Grona Lund, Stockholm... It ain't gonna be that big to begin with, LOL! The queue/line configuration will probably be bigger and take up more room outside, than in the loading station, itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Oh Crap...I can totally see the Tatsu station as a drive thru McDonalds...I never thought of that before...not a bad idea either...I can pick up my #11 Southern Chicken sandwich combo meal as I depart the station....perhaps Green Lantern can be themed to Chick-Fil-A or better yet, to a Rally's or Checkers....

ANJLOVER14 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 It's funny because the Asian-themed Tatsu has a stereotypical American McDonalds roof. What's more American than McDonalds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything, but figuring that there's been something for Terminator and X2, (which is why you asked in the first place) I wouldn't be surprised to see an event announced in the near future.

chickenbowl Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 A lack of flats has been a reoccurring theme on this Thread, and I just wanted to put out some of my ides of what SFMM can do to solve this problem. These are just dreams of what could possibly be done wit the availiable space. I think if these flats are marketed well, they could bring in just as many guests as a new roller coaster, except they're cheaper and take up less space. First, In Thrill Shot's place, a 300' Mondial Windseeker, like the one at Knott's. On the plot of this vacant building next to Sky Tower, an S&S Screamin' Swing, like Sky Hawk at Cedar Point. It could swing right off the mountain. At the old Eagle's Flight station (the V-shaped building used for Haunt) on the top of the mountain, the world's tallest Intaimn Drop Tower, similar to the one at King's Island. On the now unused plot next to Deja Vu, a Huss Giant Frisbee, like Delirium at King's Island Next to Scream, a Huss Top Spin, like Riptide at Knott's. Along with a re-theme could add some life into that whole area. A Mexican-themed flat like Wipeout at Knott's being put in Revolution's old overflow queue.

PAL Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ^I guess if you're going to dream, dream big. I just don't see the Mt piling on the premium flats. They've let basic carnival rides wear out without replacement. Anyone carry a camera up the tower lately? Green Lantern updates are few and far between.

bagelsandwhich Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I suggest someone who lives near the park and has a Season Pass, to go up to the top of Sky Tower and take any photos you can of the Green Lantern construction. We WILL love you! Also, who else thinks that turning Colossus into a Hybrid rocky mountain ride will cause it to run one track only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Of Spades Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ^I doubt that, it's uniqueness as a racing coaster is something I'm sure they'd want to preserve should they pull a makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagelsandwhich Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) ^ I completely agree, but boy what a challenge that would be! I mean, they would have to increase the height so it can be well marketed, so the image how insane they need to change the turns to accomodate for the speed? I wouldn't be surprised if they make them go over and under each other like a DNA strand. Edited May 9, 2011 by bagelsandwhich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Anyone carry a camera up the tower lately? Green Lantern updates are few and far between. You can bribe me to go if you want! Seriously though, I may go one morning this week to see if there's anything more to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
