Fake Media Day and Media Day will turn into giant robots and fight. Obviously.

Pure gold.

Has anybody seen this?

 

I do believe this is the single most awesome piece of merch available at SFMM.

I don't know why it is rotating to the side like that, sorry!

[Top Thrill Dragster]

^Gang banging teddy bear? At least the park knows their clientele.

[LaMapa]

Heading down to SFMM all day today. Hopefully it will be a good day and *maybe* get some pics and video of LL:DoD testing. I will post some update photos.

[DJeXeL]

^^^A house arrest ankle bracelet would complete it.

[WFChris]

^It's the "steal" of a lifetime, marked down from $9.99 to $4.38. I mean, how could I NOT become a proud owner? There was another style of cholo bear as well, but it was a little more expensive hovering just over $6.

 

^^I was at the park monday and both sides were installed completely but they were doing trackwork all day, with cables hanging all over the place. No testing then...

[LaMapa]

At Cyber Cafe. It was dead today! 15 minutes for X2! No Lex testing.. but hopefully we will see that soon. I'm about to head out, but it was a great day.

 

The Daily Planet Gift Shop sign was up too.

[Wes]

So there's been no testing 16 days out?

[LaMapa]

^Nope. Still carts going up and down the tower. I saw Sue Carpenter walking behind the barriers at Lex. And up at Superman there were a few people walking around.

[megalyte]

Any updates or anything new on the old Log Jammer site?

[LaMapa]

^Nope. It's just sitting there. Nothing special.. Also, operations were god-awful on most rides... Tatsu was 5 minute dispatches because they had a trainee checking the seats. Riddlers was running 1 train empty, Batman was stacking every time for a long time. Almost everything was really slow!

 

 

At Lex, both of the cars, including the catch cars, were completely covered up. They were also pouring the concrete for the queue between the indoor section and the ride itself. It was just a straight path.

Superman: Ultimate Flight up at SFDK hasn't begun testing, either...and it's supposed to open in a week.

 

Gooooooo Six Flags!

Talk about pushing the limit. I hope all goes well, because the park really can't afford more late openings.

[simaticable]

It will open when it opens. Just give them time. Obviously, the Intamin cables struck again.

[LaMapa]

^GL didn't begin testing until a few days before opening. So we have plenty of time for testing.

Just because the GP has not seen testing during regular park hours doesn't mean it hasn't been happening.

SFDK's ride is complete, only minor station work is left so they have plenty of time for testing and it would seem the same is true for LEX. It's a drop ride, how long do they need to test it for anyway? It does seem like waiting to the last minute though and if I was responsible for these rides successfully opening when they were scheduled to I would be nervous- what if something goes wrong that requires a lot of time to fix? Ah well, I don't have to worry about it so if it opens on time great, if it opens late, that's fine too. By the time I get to visit these parks both rides will be open so I will just wait for that.

[DBru]

But it's more than just cycling trains/cars a few times. The state also has to come out and approve the rides...and inspectors don't just dash out to parks on a whim.

[Tmcdllr]

Apparently SFDK's ride may have just started testing according to Captain Lee's FB page.

So why are you posting this on SFMM's thread and not SFDK's?

Does a 400 foot tower that's visible throughout Valencia magically disappear after park hours?
