SoCalCoasters Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I just bought tickets for this Saturday, June 2nd, for Deaf Awareness day at the park. Do you think it would be terribly busy or just medium crowds?? I hadn't heard anything about this. I deafinately didn't hear about this either!

molemaster43 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wow people, just, wow. Well, I heard some of the rides are deaf-defying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMapa Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just got back from the park.. everything was running 2 trains and X2 opened on time. Didn't have to wait more than 45 min. for anything, including a second ride on X2. Yet the parking lot was completely full and the dirt lot was about 1/4 of the way full!

Liljdub Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It wasn't my video! Can someone tell me what "Full Throttle" is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 ^A popular energy drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It wasn't my video! Can someone tell me what "Full Throttle" is? Good to know. I was never operating under the assumption that it was though. And "Full throttle", in addition to being a popular energy drink, is when the accellerator pedal is pushed fully to the floor. The name would make sense for a launched coaster that gave the impression of a powered vehicle accellerating at "full throttle". Think of Top Thrill Dragster, or Xcelerator, for similar references to launched coasters that make the name seem likely for a launched coaster. The fact that it's also the name of an energy drink makes for a pretty decent promotional tie-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Darn. I thought it was going to be themed after Charlie's Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 ...And I was hoping for a theme to this Full Throttle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Throttle_(1995_video_game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKings908 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Meanwhile, I was, and still am, hoping for a theme of this Full Throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 There are about 35 'Full Throttle' products out there. Pretty sure the phrase must not be able to be trademarked and that will just help Six Flags grab it and market it their way while people assume it refers to their favorite Full Throttle product!

Bryoux Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Here is the flyer. Also, if you buy the tickets through their website they are only $29.50! Awesome! I just hope the crowds won't be too harsh on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Anyone else find it funny that the prominent attraction shown on there is Lex Luther, and yet the coming soon sign is about 1/200th of the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibbler Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Anyone else find it funny that the prominent attraction shown on there is Lex Luther, and yet the coming soon sign is about 1/200th of the pic? Not to mention, it blends in nicely with the pre-existing green.. I'd also like to take this time to say how amazingly empty the park was yesterday for Memorial Day, I always enjoy getting to ride Apocalypse without lines.

Sir Clinksalot Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 ^^ That's actually the same exact flyer my son's school got for his "Grad Day", obviously with a different announcement. My guess is they had designed these a long time ago and had to add in the "Coming Soon" later. Just got back from the park.. everything was running 2 trains and X2 opened on time. Didn't have to wait more than 45 min. for anything, including a second ride on X2. Yet the parking lot was completely full and the dirt lot was about 1/4 of the way full! Remember, SFHH was open too. This is the time of year that looking at the lots won't give you a clear indication of how busy SFMM is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 . Remember, SFHH was open too. This is the time of year that looking at the lots won't give you a clear indication of how busy SFMM is. SFHH wont be full time until June 11th as only weekends until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 ^ But he went on Sunday, so SFHH was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBrown Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Oh look they haven't forgotten about LLDOD - The restraints look interesting is this something new or is something just missing ? Edited May 30, 2012 by ScottBrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 They look exactly like the restraints used on Sky Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousReed Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 They look exactly like the restraints used on Sky Rush. By what I've been hearing, those restraints are pretty damn painful. Then the public decides to comment: Haha 400 ft. and barley any support... Cant wait It better be better than Superman! Superman sucks Hahahahaha!!!finally a real ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pechoolo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I was at the park this afternoon and the walls are down from the front of the Drop of Doom queue building. I saw Bonnie and three men walk into the queue building. It was hard to see inside, but you can see the circular "L" sign against the wall and the queue railings.
