arrowfanman Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Nope, I dont own the shirt (although I am now considering getting one...think of everyone else I might run into!). I have posted several trip reports, so he must of seen my photo recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yes........pics in thread updates, that's it. I think I could have picked you out too, well, maybe........if you showed up before midnight when I was about to pass out from being so tired.

Guy T. Koepp Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'm going this afternoon. I will check it out. I think it's safe to say that it's not going to be "Fence" the ride. I will be wearing my TPR t-shirt. And pushing two beautiful kids in a stroller. Look for me.

Guy T. Koepp Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Not much has changed. I got to the park around 7:30. It was dark. Watched the parade and the fireworks. That inflatable Mr. Six is creepy. Should probably call him Mr. 666. Oh! another great idea for a video. Guy "this s**t just pops in my head. Like an aneurism. BAM!"

ScOtT k Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I was in california over the weekend. I went to Magic mountain on sunday. The park was empty. I asked a ride op on ninja about the new ride. He said that most of the employees think it will be a kingda ka ride. There was a sign in front of superman the escape that said "Please excuse our mess. We are building for your future enjoyment" Superman was closed all day too. The same sign was in front of flashback and freefall. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 ^ Holy shit, FLASHBACK was down?! OMG! Freefall too?? (Seriously, Flashback hasn't been open in like three years, Freefall has been down for awhile too, Superman goes down often. Those are just normal SFMM operations, not some indication of what's being done.) Also, SFMM employees are world famous for not knowing anything.

USCoaster Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 At least they had signs. I was at SFMW earlier this year and their pirate ship was closed and the entrance just had a piece of yellow Caution tape across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 A piece of yellow caution tape is enough to tell me "This is closed." But a sign would be better. Freefall's cars are being rehabbed/rebuilt according to Screamscape. Flashback is just a lost cause. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Guys, feel free to let me know when you're stopping by and I'll try to get you on the rides I have friends at, just shoot me a PM if interested. As for the new ride, I doubt it's a Kingda Ka type one, but that would seriously ROCK! I'm still gonna stick with the B&M Flyer, that's what a mechanic who'd seen the design told me. I'll be happy when they start working on Thrill Shot and open that sucker back up, man do I miss that thing! There's a chance I could also be a lead over there, muwahahaha!

runnerodb83 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Im wondering IF free fall will come back.....according to screamscape CP and another park put their free fall rides up for sale...rather coincidental wouldnt you all say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yeah I'm still convinced it's a B&M Flyer, but I feel it's my duty to at least let you all know of another rumor: Intamin Woody (similar to SFGAd's) I'm sticking with the flyer. I'll go get an update this week. I have Robb's pictures from last week but to be honest it doesn't look like anything has changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowfanman Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I went saturday, and the only visible change from Tuesday was that there are a lot of these new pink markers that are showing up, all around the Orient Express track. (Right of the track...yes, those are pink...on a bigger version of the pic, you can see a clear distinction between those, and the orange ones.) Also, I dont know if this has been mentioned or not, but I rode Log Jammer*, and when I was at the top of the second lift, I took some pictures...I couldn't even see what I got till AFTER I uploaded the pics...lol. The picture I uploaded shows markers and marked trees...Ironically, I took this picture looking away from the Oriental Gardens, but hey, its still close by.

Sir Clinksalot Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yeah I'm still convinced it's a B&M Flyer, but I feel it's my duty to at least let you all know of another rumor: Intamin Woody (similar to SFGAd's) I'm sticking with the flyer. Maybe they got a bulk deal on Intamin Woodies!!! I certainly woudn't be opposed to that. God knows CA needs a good woodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlicious Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Im sorry to say that its actually a WalMart and Starbucks being built. .. (ok maybe not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yes, Wal Mart the ride! They can call it "Mart of Darkness" I also saw flags and markers around the top of Log Jammer. I think that they are building more than one ride. A B&M Flyer and some giant flat ride that will swing out over LJ. I would love to see us get a Woodie.

NitroJoeC Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Sorry, SFGAd gets the kick ass amazing woodie this year, SFMM will have to settle with the kick ass amazing flyer. Joe "maybe SFMM can get an Intamin woodie next year?" C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 ^It better be a damn good flyer.... I still don't think I would 'trust' SFMM with an Intamin woody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroJoeC Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well I wouldn't trust SFGAd with one either, but they're definitely getting one! I can't imagine the maintenance to be that intensive on it though, honestly. In theory, it should be just like maintaining a steel coaster. But yeah, I don't think the flyer will be disappointing at all. Compared to existing flyers, this one does quite a bit more! Joe "not to mention the kick ass setting!" C.

Guy T. Koepp Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If we got a steel woodie like HADES it might be more maintenence friendly. MM's not real great at high maintenance rides. (Flashback, Bobsleds, Goliath track 2, Mountain Express) Ring a bell. I still think we might be getting more than one ride. I hope.
