arrowfanman Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 ^ You know, I have to agree with you on that one. Homer...where ya been man? Long time, eh?
TwistedTrack Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 i havent been reading to much about this but i have seen the path that is probably going to take and i think it will be an intimin rocket coaster. they are getting popular and knowing how storm runner fit into hershey one could fit itself into magic mountain.
Mr.Six Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 ^ Well, I agree. If it is going to be a rocket (which I doubt) it'll be more like a Stormrunner then a simple Top Hat Rocket such as Kingda Ka and TTD. Michael"That way SFMM can add an XTREME slogin to the ride!"Thomas
rollermonkey Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 (Flashback, Bobsleds, Goliath track 2, Mountain Express) Guy "Getting my kids dressed while posting" Koepp I don't remember Goliath having two tracks... It's been a while since I've been to MM, but I am pretty sure Colossus was the only two-track coaster there. Chris B
Guy T. Koepp Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 OOps Silly me. Hey! This is my 40th posting! Woo Hoo!!! Guy "it's the little s*** that excites me" Koepp
arrowfanman Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I might be going tomorrow, to get pics. I think I might make a thing of going on Fridays, as its the end of the week & working days, and the progress will be most up to date till next week. See you tomorrow! P.S. Has everybody heard about that track outside of the B&M manufactering facility in Ohio? What do you guys think about that? Do you think those pics that have been circulating are old? I mean, its obvious by looking at the track that this is an inverted style, but who knows what for. . . . . .or when they were taken...lol.
SharkTums Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 When will you be there tomorrow? I've been going on thursdays or fridays as well.
arrowfanman Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Probably around 1-3 PM. If you guys want the pics, then you can have them. Otherwise, I'll just do my normal photobucket update. And if you are going to be there tomorrow for your update, than I doubt I will even bring my camera.
DonkeyBreath Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 The pictures were taken Aug.23 by a regular poster to Coasterbuzz. It is indeed newly made inverted style track that looks pretty twisty, so SFOG hyper track has been ruled out. The question remains of is it the rest of WOF Patriot track, that hasn't been primed and painted yet. Or could it be SFMM flyer track or track for a park that know one has really thought about yet. Anyways the guys says he"ll check back around the plant in about a week or so and see if anything is new, has been painted, or if he can get a closer look at the lables. Anyways I'll probably be hitting the mountain on Sunday...My dream lately is to pull into the lot and see gorgeous Intamin track sitting way back there.......but then it turns into a nightmare :?
SharkTums Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 ^^That's cool, I won't be able to be there till later...work and all =( ^So what are there 4 B&M's going in the states next year? 1 to china? Where else? Shouldn't there be A LOT more track!
4718 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I gotta pick up my paycheck tomorrow, but I guess I could wander around for a bit. Jahan, you going after school lets out? Don't know if you guys would want to, but I could get you on Deja up the exit as well as a few other perks.
rollermonkey Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I believe B&M has more than one contractor producing track for them. I think the Ohio plant only makes tracks intended for the U.S. parks. They used Giavanola (sp?) for a long time in Switzerland for European park projects, but after they started making coasters themselves that relationship may have soured. Chris B
danandjackie Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Quick ? has this construction resulted in other rides being closed? Will be at six flags Dec 28th
SharkTums Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 ^Nobody knows for sure, but there is a good chance Ninja, Revolution, Rapids, Superman could close for a bit.
NitroJoeC Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 From what I know, there are three B&M projects stateside this year and then the inverted for Germany and flying for China. I believe the China coaster already has track there, since it was seen a WHILE ago at SOFCO. I'm pretty sure that track is for Patriot, SFMM still has a few more things to do before they need track there.
SharkTums Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 ^Oh yeah, forgot about the Phantasialand one! And yeah, SFMM still has a LOT more things to do before track is needed.
4718 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Yup, maybe when we see some footers show up, then we can know a bit better......or not.
coasterguy618 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I really hope that this is a flyer. It if it is, i would want the Layout to be like air but bigger and with a pretzel loop.
Hicko Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I'll be riding the China Flyer next year as I'm going back to Beijing. OCT looks to be a very good park from the website. Sorry to go off-topic
arrowfanman Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Breaking News! Ladies and Gentlemen....I am in deep sorrow to report, that demolition work on Orient Express, has in fact, begun. Pics later tonight!
sfmmFREAK Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 (edited) you mean.... they're.....actually.............DEMOLISHING IT! noooooooooooooo! now how am i supposed to get up the hill without exorcising???! it's just not fair!!!! Edited August 27, 2005 by sfmmFREAK
SLUSHIE Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 The last remaining transporation ride is now gone.
DKSoCal Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 And I was sure they were going to keep it... Well, I guess you have to sacrifice one thing to gain another... I hope in some way, they either get metro running again or somehow make a new transportation system. But those are extremely high hopes.
DonkeyBreath Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Well it was rumored that something was being removed from the mountain, I guess we now know what that something is
