Zack44 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I saw Viper getting featured on an episode of Glee last night, that was nice. Also, I miss Viper's older brother (Great American Scream Machine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ728 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Does anyone have a shot of the Viper train from Glee? People are talking about how new and nice it looked. Was it actually cleaned up in real life? The sun hasn't been kind to those old trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ^ I will snap one tomorrow if they are running that train. I did notice that one train did look nicer than the others.. Also, the Rage song was off yesterday too. But the "This was a wild, crazy, insane experience.." at the end was on and loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalyte Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 When I was there last Thursday, there was no audio on the "ramp" side of X2 (at least in the very back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Does anyone have a shot of the Viper train from Glee? People are talking about how new and nice it looked. Was it actually cleaned up in real life? The sun hasn't been kind to those old trains. Some of the shots look like they were touched up, I.e. the area around X2 looks amazingly lush and green, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same to the trains. The track was left nice and grease stained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie zueck Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Does viper still have the got2b wrapped train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmaster562 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I found this picture on the internet. It looks like there is some added detail to the trains on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaMapa Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Going to the park again today! Hopefully it will be as good or better than it was on Tuesday! I LOVE being 5 minutes away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I found this picture on the internet. It looks like there is some added detail to the trains on the sides. I'm pretty sure that those "added details" are just a combination of the sun hitting the train's reflective coating, as well as the low resolution quality of the photo creating patches of this effect.

Chrisrad Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah, I watched the episode last night on my DVR and Viper did look really nice, but I think they chose the right weather (cloud cover) for filming - it certainly wasn't a cloud-free day where everything was in full-sun.

bostonlva Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Six Flags MM @SFMagicMountain Close Look! Up in the sky early this morning it took a helicopter to raise these pieces for Lex Luthor Drop of Doom. http://fb.me/SC3I5u9H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I was actually at the park today and got some really cool close up shots of what they installed. I had no idea they were installed today so that's kind of cool. I'll put some pics up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6flagsbrad Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 For a while, I thought that was fake. The helicopter looked photoshopped. Great to see they're finally starting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes! It has gone vertical! And the park was packed today!!! And the X2 music is gone again 110 minutes wasted for nothing... And rode Roaring Rapids and got SOAKED! And.. Ninja had a HUGE line.. The entire queue (including switchbacks) was almost full.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrad Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 ^ Wow, 60 minutes is the longest I would have waited for X2.. audio or not. How was the weather? Surprised that it was that busy since it was quite chilly today down south. I guess, though, if you've planned out a trip for your vacation, some cold weather won't deter you from going to a theme park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ728 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Rain is forecasted for tomorrow. Usually people plan their park day for a day that it's guaranteed not to rain. Tomorrow will probably be significantly less crowded. And.. Ninja had a HUGE line.. The entire queue (including switchbacks) was almost full.. You mean all three queuing sections? I haven't seen the third section (the first one you're in when you walk in the entrance) used in years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Magic Mountain (and those other parks) update: http://micechat.com/blogs/in-the-parks/3397-disneylands-matterhorn-dcas-new-face-seaworlds-new-manta-universal-more.html Here is the stuff they installed on the tower: Crane on site Ride parts outside Colossus One other non-LL:DOD This ad near Scream. And it's not just this sign. It's everywhere. Tacky. More stuff at the link as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 And.. Ninja had a HUGE line.. The entire queue (including switchbacks) was almost full.. You mean all three queuing sections? I haven't seen the third section (the first one you're in when you walk in the entrance) used in years! Yes, the third queuing section was at least half way full!! And Tatsu had a line going almost halfway down to Apocalypse until about 3 PM! X2 was out the entrance all day too. But the parking lot wasn't near full. Nowhere even close to Scream.

Magic Alumni Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Here is the stuff they installed on the tower: 'The Signal' (Santa Clarita's local paper) said the parts added to the top of the tower are just a support bar for carts can go up and down the sides of the tower to hold the workers installing the ride.

LaMapa Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 ^Then why are they red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuschini Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 ^Because it's a coincidence. If you look at the photos and think how they haven't even started attaching the track to the side of the tower yet, it makes sense. It also eliminates the need to rent a crane. What's funny is that I never even noticed the yellow track on Superman became red at the end of it at the very top of the tower. Thanks for the photos sir clinksalot!

Sir Clinksalot Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I agree that they are probably there for installation, but I also don't think they will be going anywhere. It will probably remain for track inspection, etc which is why they are red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yeah, they don't look like they are going anytime soon. So why is the X2 music so hit-or-miss? I mean what could have happened in the day that I wasn't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
