infinitethrill Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Hey Everyone. You might know me from RCPro. I've made about 20 PTR's this year, and now I am posting my PTR's on other forums besides RCPro. I made this awhile ago, but its better than nothing! _____________________________________ Here we go again! Alex picked me up at my house at 9:30, and we were off to SFMM! We got to the park at 1:25, and found the season pass line was still removed and just mixed in with the rest of the regular ticket peoples... Everyone turned left to go up to X and Tatsu, and Alex said no to X, so we were off to Goliath! Alex thinks that this is a good idea! And it was! We rode 10 times in a row, getting back on in open seats, and there were allot of them. So, we head off down to Scream and Colossus, when Alex points out this sign First of all, why is the "Boardwalk Arcade" in Colossus Country Fair? also, Psyclone will haunt the park forever... I cant wait to sit in Psyclone's trains again! Still in bodybags. When will they start testing again? Scream looked awesome today... Weird... Scream's other train sits all alone. Batman's extended queue give's nice Riddlers shots! SurfBum6924 (21:13:29): mmmmmm, corn Alex got a Murse and we rode the bumper cars... Alex approves of an open gate. (I took more open gate pictures, but I wont be posting them because some people don't like them) Is this a rail from Ninja when they repainted it? Alex enjoys posing next to ANOTHER open gate There are new dumpsters over by Psyclone... And one closed thingy behind Deja's exit... Alex, you were moaning and people were staring O.o Revo's trims were on HARD! (liars ) Sun gleaming off the rails. Remember this and how I was going to sue? I did. And now they removed it! And Dan, this time there was a cart full of water's back there! Perfect timing on Orient! Who knows why this was drained? I can see a new flat here... I walked away without a drop on me. Too bad it wont be happening this year... It would of been nice! Tatsu! YEY! Eye of the Tatsu! Don't ask why I was taking pictures so close to Alex's eye... We got front seat... Its worth it, and I thought it didn't really matter... Murse Man to the rescue! What is this thing? It is under the stairs on the exit of Superman... It must be cool... We rode atleast 15 times. Every time it seemed like we were going higher, and it was amazing! So thats what Superman was designed to feel like! I actaully felt the freefall, usually it is really weak... The park closed at 6, so one last pic from in the park... But wait! There is a little graveyard set up advertising frightfest at the entrance! X, we never rode it in the day... This could be a really cool pic if I could go in there... While we waired for our ride, I walked up the hillside behind X, and got a good layout pic! And thats it! Hope you enjoyed it
robbalvey Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 LOL at whatever that "thing" is!!! Nice TR, and I agree...I think I would like like to see Superman get the paint job! --Robb
AllenA07 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 There looks like there is a small booklet on top of the mystery item. You should have looked at the over and seen what it is.
infinitethrill Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 It was out of reach, under the stairs... Don't ask why I was looking through the cracks in the exit stairs...
PURE Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 ^^^^^Circuit boards for the electric rooms that run along the middle of Superman. Basically, power runs through it and sends that information to the computer. Although they don't break all the time, if you look under the station (where the trains launch) you'll see dozens of broken and re-built ones on the work benches down there. Just replacements for when they go bad. Very nice trip report! Very nice pictures and some angles of the park I have never seen before. Keep em coming, its always nice to have an update from Magic Mountain.
infinitethrill Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 So thats what are in the dog houses! Do you happen to have a picture of the inside of one of them?
PURE Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 ^Unfortunately I don't, and I don't know why. One of those things you just don't think about when its right in front of you, y'know? Basically they're just electric rooms with computers and circuit boards, all stored in 6 foot tall metal cabinets (on the left and right sides), sending information back and forth from hut to hut, and to the main computer thats at the station. Honestly if you got a peek inside, you'd see its nothing too spectacular. Just tons and tons of wires with electric and computer components organized as well as Intamin could at the time.
wrs28330 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I missed the hand print and suing. What was that all about, and where was there a red tub of waterbottles onstage with no employee?
infinitethrill Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 In a previous PTR, I posed a picture of me doing a handstand at the starburst ad, and as a caption I said "When I fall, I'm going to sue". The next time I went (this PTR), It was removed... I didn't actually sue, I was joking. And the water bottle cart - There is a secret spot under revolution's loop, and they leave carts full of water and soda unattended... I never steal any, but they are just left alone and stocked ready for someone to push it out. (I get the 75 cent soda's anyway )
phazan Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Awesome TR! Definitely had some cool looking pictures...and DAMN. It looked pretty empty there...lucky you!
arrowfanman Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Nice PTR. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Liked the last photo of X from the bus stop. Hope to see more PTRs in the future. -Jahan
