neovortex2k Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hey ok after dodling about a few other site's and a bit of my own investigation i wanna put forward a theroy: 1. definitly a ride as you can clearly see Q BLDG and Q WLKWAY in some photo's 2. i think it's going to be a flying B&M 3. The colour scheme will be orange. 4. it may or may not involve the removal of OE as it can easily fly close to it without it needing to be removed and to increase excitement 5. Flashback will be the ride to be removed 6. drawing your attention to picture # 25 I think to L2R could mean load to ride.If i knew there was the posibility of a station or even a second loading station as in l2r i could be wrong!it's a lot less obvious than writing STATN. Well anyway thats my 2 cents.Feel free to say what you want as this is just a andtheroy and has absolutely no evidence whatsoever!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobber73 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 4. it may or may not involve the removal of OE as it can easily fly close to it without it needing to be removed and to increase excitement Yes, because real rides work exactly like RCT's ratings system. They'll probably remove two rides to add this coaster. That will leave them with 17 coaster and some food stalls. What a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterkid20 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I also have to go for the "It's a flying coaster" vote for these reasons: 1. They already have a really tall hyper coaster 2. They already have a really tall Fast coaster 3. They already have the 3 other types of Beemers: Inverted, Standup, and Floorless. 4. They already have 2 horrid woodies...... 5. They already have two pointless sit down loopers. 6. They already have one coaster that is so uterly unique it's disgusting. 7. They already have a selection of a mine train, severly f***ed small space coaster, an unrealiable giant invertigo, and actually a half way decent suspended :shock: I lean towards flyer just because it is something that they don't have, and it is a smash hit with the public. Knowing six flags they will probably find some way of squeezing in a S:UF just because it works so well and yadda yadda yadda. They could also do an inpulse but I would think they would try to do something with a better capacity. I Could be wrong about my theories, and I hope I am. But I'll probably will still spend the 6 hour drive just to go to knott's and skip out on SFMM again....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 ^ Wow, that is probably the most accurate description of SFMM's coaster selection ever! Funny, yet sad at the same time! --Robb "They could always build a 2nd hyper....Cedar Point did!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisco Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 My bet is that it will be a food court. That will please all the Acer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastercameron Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 With the great SFMM food service, a major food court would NEED a queue that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder001 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 From someone who has never been to the park, what would all the yellow caution tape be from around the tree. It is the picture of the old gardens so I am guessing it could be from that, so it is marking the tree for removal. Just a thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Do you guys think Psyclone would be better with new trains? The problem was always the trains. The trains are too heavy for the track. So, yeah new trains would help; if they were re-designed. Also, flashback will not be removed. At least for this project. The Q-BLDG signs are no where near flashback. Flashback will not be affected by this. That is not to say that Flashback will probably be torn down for a flat ride.

crispy Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 It really would make sense for them to replace the Psyclone trains with something like PTC trains, the Psyclone trains are one of a kind, and when something goes wrong, I bet it cost alot to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yes, but when something does go wrong SFMM "dosen't" fix it Michael"They prefer the scotch tape method of fixing things"Thoams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I don't know what's going on at SFMM. But I do know, whatever it is, after it's first year it's going to suck ass anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSmith Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 ! no way, rides at sfmm are like wine, they get better with age. :dork: but in reality, I too believe it to be a flyer, and I doubt they will remove any rides on the mountain (ninja, log jammer, orient) but I will wait and see... lets hope it is something good this time around.

flyby208 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hi I know this is a bit off topic but why did they get stop people using the sky tower is there a problem with it or just lack of usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 ^ Reports are that it was staff-funding issues. Those Psyclone trains have not only ruined Psyclone but Colossus as well. They are WAY too heavy. That's not to say that Psyclone would be better with new trains, but I guess it would be a start. The track would need ALOT of work to return to it's former glory. And yes, it was a good ride at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I've noticed a few problems: "Fence - The Ride" needs some work. How about "Superfence - Ultimate Escape" or "Batman - The Fence" If it's a coaster, by California law (or maybe just Six Flags policy), it's required to be built in a parking lot. Obviously, the pictures don't show a parking lot. It can't be an Escalator. SFMM doesn't do that sort of theming. It would work nicely though.

oralawson Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 well from what screamscape says and i quote, "I’ve heard a report from someone who attended the Roller Coaster Club of Great Britian’s trip to the US West Coast last week that contains an interesting item. During the ERT session at the park it seems that some park rep mentioned that the club should make plans to come back next year when they’ll be opening a new “flying” coaster on the hillside." and now there saying how it may be 150 feet tall, will include the popular Pretzel Loop, as well as the first Immelman on a B&M Flyer. im gonna go on the B&M flyer idea. it makes the most sense and if they do put in this ride they'll most likely get rid of the oriental express. but still we wont know till it hapenns what there truly going to make. lets just hope its not a vekoma boomerang. -aris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Six Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Perhaps all this tree demolishing is due to the fire season. When the SkyTower falls, they don't want a fire on their hands. Michael" Fall on JetStream!"Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloop Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Robb; I haven't been to SFMM to see the construction markings first hand, but I can provide a little construction insight. Your picture that shows C 6.4 is a cut - that point will come down 6.4 feet during grading. Conversely, the flag strapped to the handrail next to the tower says F 1.7 (something like that) - that's a fill. Not sure if they're filling the water feature there or if it's from the top of concrete - either way, it's getting filled 1.7 feet. Does that help clarify the picture any?

WillMontu Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Looks like they also come in Wood: Steel Terrain Lie-down Stand-up Strange that the images don't work. You may have to copy and paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
