Mr.Six Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Nice Update! I fear that we might not see Revolution in operation for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMM rocks my socks Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Nice update. I have just though of something. they cant take the sky tower down because its a land mark.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 ^ They can do anything they want with the Sky Tower. However, I think at some point it will reopen. I do hope so...the view from up there is incredible! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Is it too early to start calling the new flyer "Tulsa"? It's either that or 'Taste You' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anisk23 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I doubt they'll do anything negative with the Sky Tower. I really think that with all this attention that the Summit will recieve next year that they will try to get it opperational. Now keeping it opperational is another story. I've no problem with the name. It could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black sabbath Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 ^ Yeah I don't think we will see Sky Tower go anywhere anytime soon. You're probably right with all the attention samurai summit is getting Sky Tower could very well reopen. I hope it does reopen, I have never been up there and have heard it offers a spectacular view.

SFMM rocks my socks Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 At least its new and different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 MM is working on getting the permits for Sky Tower's elevators, they haven't been up to code for a couple years now, but they did the annual inspection a couple weeks ago, so that should be a good sign. As for the new coaster, the station is going to be up on the hill, I think by the stairs maybe? Can't remember really, but it'll be up there. Also, the main point of the coaster is to bring Sky Tower back to being cool, and draw guests up to that end of the hill. It's going to be centered up there I know, with the focus being Sky Tower. I'm not sure if that means it'll do a helix around it like I've heard in the past, but a supervisor said it'd probably do stuff involving it......whatever that means. Oh yeah, Revolution will be down for rehab while the construction is going on, most likely 6 months from now is when it'll reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Well, it certainly seems as if SFMM is pulling itself together! Its great that the Sky Tower will probably re-open! But I was wondering, have you heard anything about the fate of Metro or Flashback? I mean, this would be the perfect time to work on them. So that when the new flyer opens the park will be in full force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Revolution closed? That'll save the park some money on Tylenol at the First Aid center. Tatsu (I'm making an assumption that this is the ride's real name) is really intriguing me. I'm trying to picture the layout, the placement of the station/queue area, etc. My guess now is that you will access it from the former pathway next to Orient Express's top station (it wouldn't make sense to approach it from Rapids Camp Crossing, though it could exit into that area. Chances are, we'll see something sometime soon. At least I'm hoping. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Metro? Screwed, that thing will probably rot before it reopens. Honestly now, with the tree trimming and replacement parts and training of new hires for a ride that NO ONE looks forward to when they talk about what rides they want to hit that day, it's a ways off, to say the least. Flashback is at least waiting until Hurricane Harbor closes, that thing is unbelievably LOUD, and they can't run it while the water park is open because of it. So, it could open by mid-October......but who'd wanna ride it anyway? It was the first coaster I ever hit at MM, horrid experience, Colossus was the only other thing I went on that day. Granted I was probably 9 or so, but that one ride was more than enough to keep me away........and scare me away from coasters for several years.

ebl Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 The company that built Metro (Universal Mobility) has been out of business for quite awhile. Up at the fairgrounds in Sacramento where they hold the California State Fair, they have an identical monorail system that still runs. It'd be nice if they could work out something to get at least one or two trains working or a source of replacement parts, if they haven't already. But I wouldn't hold my breath for that one. Wouldn't it be nice to spend the money to replace Metro with a more modern system? Unfortunately, I wouldn't wait for that either. SFMM, being so hot and rather large, could use a nice transportation ride. With the long-defunct Eagle's Flight and Dragon, SBNO Metro, and the current Orient Express, they actually had a nice transportation system.

Sir Clinksalot Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 After seeing what SFGADV did with Golden Kingdom I can only hope that Samurai Summit get's the same treatment with this new ride. The theming was on par with a Busch park, very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4718 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Theming is actually supposed to be done for the new ride, in a good way too. I don't know what they have in store, but hope they can do better than X, Deja, and Scream's "theming"......random plants around the queue, and that's about it. Oh yeah, and in X and Scream's case, annoying techno music blasting the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMM rocks my socks Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It would be cool If U entered through a cave and then entered into the station which would be a the dragons den and then flow out on to the hill side like a dragon. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemen Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Even better, it could be like a castle, and you could choose between two dueling tracks. oh wait.... I'm really curious to see what goes in though... it actually might be really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
