AllenA07 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 While I fully agree SFMM needs a wooden coaster, I still think we're going to have to wait a few more years. The park isn't going to want to add a wooden coaster just to have people stroll by thinking that it's the same wooden coaster they rode back in 1994. The park has to wait for the memory of Psyclone to fade a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I don't think your giving the GP enough credit. A GCI clone would look absolutely nothing like Psyclone, besides the fact that it's made of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I think it'll be a GG woodie to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenA07 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Well making the assumption that the coaster would be wood colored, wood frankly looks like wood. Â Many years ago I was in the line for Riddlers and was listening to the guy in front of me telling his friends how he had been on Riddlers back in 1987 when it was painted black and called Shockwave. Now personally I think Shockwave and Riddlers look far more different then would Psyclone and another wooden coaster. Â I could be giving people way to little credit here, however I stand by what I said that it is going to be a few more years before we see SFMM get a new wooden coaster. I do fully believe that it is coming, just not yet. I do honestly hope that they prove me wrong however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 ^ I have to agree with you, I don't see a woodie coming to SFMM for another couple of years. My guess for next year's coaster is a standard mouse. Family friendly, fun for everyone, short height requirement. Just my guess. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 It's going to be X-3! I might go to SFMM in 09' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Actually, I think it's going to be "SCREAM 2.0" Â The entire ride will be covered by a gigantic dome, ending it's reign as the world's most blatant parking lot coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my guess.---Brent  Yes, except Six Flags has never built anything "standard" at Magic Mountain. You build something standard, and you get a standard response. If it is a mouse type coaster, I suspect it will carry something to make it "not" standard, like the Dark Knight coasters.  More than ever, this park needs something they can heavily market against Knotts.

Goliath513 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 With all of this talk about the Dark Knight coming to the park since it was cancelled at SFNE, I think this is highly unlikely. First of all, they planned the coaster before SF canceled TDK. This would mean they are not bringing in one from a failed project. If TDK ever comes to SFMM, it will be in addition to the new for 2009 coaster being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Despite rampant speculation, the themed coaster will not be a rotating Tony Hawk’s Big Spin or an indoor Dark Knight, according to officials at the Valencia amusement park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DATman Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 ^But nothing on the scale of changing the entire coaster. This ride has to have been in the works for a good year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Have we ruled out a Eurofighter yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Morales Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 ^Yes, because Eurofighters have inversions, and the article clearly states in the first line that the coaster would have no inversions. Although, nothing's set in stone... but I still highly doubt a Eurofighter (just my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Surely they could get a Eurofighter without inversions though? However that might seem a little pointless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Millinieum Force's height requirement is only 48'', and has no inversions, but that's just wishful daydreaming. I'm sure it will just be a Mack coaster with a custom layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â So was Dark Knight at SFNE, and now it isn't. I guess the point I'm making is, with SFMM being such a high profile park in the chain, a standard mouse isn't going to cut it. There will have to be something about it that stands out and is marketable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 While giving his keynote speech at the ACE banquet, Mark Shapiro let it slip that Magic Mountain would be getting a new wooden GCI coaster next year. He said it would be themed to the movie "Terminator Salvation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I really just don't see how and why a woodie would be Terminator themed. Maybe they'll paint the wood silver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If Screamscape is anything to go by, it looks like GCI will be very busy boys in the near future. I would have preferred an Intamin Pre-fab, but a GCI will be a lot of fun, just not as extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsjunkie88 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think the queue will be where all the theming is located. At least I hope for no large cardboard cut outs of a Terminator pointing a gun at you as you go down the lift, USH RotM rip #1, or a helix with Sean Connor standing in the middle being held up by a support, THBS rip. Maybe make the ground look like a wasteland? I don't know, something interesting! Just no cheesy cardboard cut outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 And here's some wishful thinking, have it open by next year's West Coast Bash! If not, well, I'll look forward to the construction/behind the scenes tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeFan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 A Terminator Woodie? Well that doesn't sound right. I've never really put wood with Schwarzenegger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^ Yeah...it's a really weird choice. Terminator is all about robots, and metal, and metallic robots blowing up shit in the future. And yet they are theming a wooden coaster around it? Add to that the whole "Universal already has a Terminator attraction" I'm seriously having a hard time believing it...but Six Flags has made some really baffling creative and marketing decisions in the past. X2 would have been a better retheme to Terminator than a wooden coaster. It just seems so illogical, but I know I'll probably be eating my words come Summer of 2009.

RenegadeFan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 They'll probably put the trains on steroids (put a bunch of crap all over them) and make the ride go 10x faster. Hopefully Six Flags does "Dark Knight" theming or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
