black sabbath Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 ^ Yeah sort of, the red one (or w/e color) has always been on the transfer but it was actually earlier this year they moved the yellow train from the High Sierra Territory Station and the blue train from Samurai Summit to the transfer tracks. I really hope they reopen Metro, I have always wanted to ride it. The ride also must be operable since they did move the trains this year. About the coaster's length, I really don't see this going anywhere past 4000 ft. long it also may get uncomfortable after that long anyway.
Reggie_Ray Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Hey guys, well I just came back from decorating the park for Fright Fest and I just wanted to let you know that more supports and 2 more brake run pieces have arrived....Hmmmmm, I sense and update coming soon!
arrowfanman Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Rebar stacks have shown up for the footers, and are already lying around the mountain. Lots of more supports have arrived too. Â I should be going to SFMM on Tuesday for an update, because its open for the Jewish holiday....and c'mon...If I were Jewish, I wouldn't be spending my day at SFMM! Emptyness!
Mr. X Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 I'm really hoping that when the flyer opens, I'll be able to transfer over there.
4718 Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 I'm just hoping that they'll do the same kind of promo photo shoot like they did for Scream with the new ride, even if they don't, I think I could get on it early.

Â That was great. I rode Scream 8 times in a row, got free sandwiches and sodas, and all before it was open to the public! I just don't want to be a "test dummy", I'll leave that to the water dumies.
robbalvey Posted October 1, 2005 Author Posted October 1, 2005 Hey everyone! New photos from today, October 1st:  http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmmnew06/current.htm  Lots of digging, track, and other random stuff! Also, we now have proof that not even SFMM knows what they are building! Be sure to see page two of this new update!  --Robb
Blazen_AZN Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 i saw those '?'s in another update too, why the heck would they put question marks on the ground? hmmm.... Â is there land clearing over by the waterfall by revoultion, where the markers are? because that would take one heck of alot of work, and i'm impatient.... Â does anyone know apporamtely how many feet it would be from the station area, across the Roaring Rapids path, over to the rev's waterfall and back is??
Jeezus Juice Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 OMG dude that whole area looks totally different now. Â Where exactly was the paving over OE's tracks? Was it on top of the hill by that station, and is that top station even still there? Â So much for the gardens, wow. Â Thanks for taking the pics, was Ninja open at least? Â -Don "Ninja's station should totally be moved to the bottom of the hill" G
coasterdude5 Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Nice Update! Things are sure starting to pick up again! Those markers looked to be pretty close to Revolution in those last shots. But it just might have been the camera angle. Â On another note, I really hope the name is Tatsu and not Ketchup and Mustard: The Ride!
sfmmFREAK Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 looks like riddler's crew marked up the park... and you know, some of those markers could be for fright fest (decoration spots, side shows etc..)
coasterdude5 Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 ^Good Point. In that case, I hope the paints not permanent!
SharkTums Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Yeah I don't think all the markers are for the new ride, but the question marks were just too funny!!!
coasterdude5 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Maybe that's the symbol for a wide range marker like, "one footer will go within a two foot radius of this marker". Just a thought.
SFMM rocks my socks Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Nice update. Â the way the hill is going to look like when the ride opens will probley be ornge and green and then some more ornge. Â Also where is the station going to go?
arrowfanman Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 No one knows. Â Â Well, I guess I wont go tuesday, as not much will have changed from this update. So, you guys can probably expect to see my next update in 2 weeks. ...you know...since they are better and all. ...I love you guys.
sfmmFREAK Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 actually, we do know. remember the "Q BLDG" and "Q WALK" markers. (wehere the path used to be.
arrowfanman Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 While that is a probable spot for a station, we dont know anything. I mean, goliaths line is 700 ft long, without switchbacks! Just because we saw queue markers there, doesn't mean thats directly the spot.
Thrasher Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I just cant wait till vertical construction starts. Seems like they have been taking their sweet time gettin those footers in. I also am wondering how much replanting of trees and bushes they will do after the ride is completed. The mountain was always so peaceful in its own way, and I hope all this construction doesnt screw it up.
SFMM rocks my socks Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Does any one have an estamite of how long tell the footers are done.
4718 Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Does any one have an estamite of how long tell the footers are done. The people that know the answer to that arent' going to be wasting their time with a 65 page thread on a internet forum....
runnerodb83 Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 concrete takes 28 days to reach maximum buildable strength according to the Portland Cement Association (PCA). SO when you see em poured, wait a month and the track will start going up. ALSO, cement is stronger when it dries in a humid climate as opposed to an arid one. They will probably wait a while till the moist air returns to the SCV in november and december.
kenshinmac Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Um whats up with the Six Flags California banners in front of the Revolution? I've never been to Magic Mountain but were they flirting with a new name at some point? Â That being said how big is this ride going to be? I mean seriously... This thing looks like it could be crazy big. I can't help but think that Six Flags must do the same sort of accounting as good old Bush...
Thrasher Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 The Park and the waterpark together are called Six Flags California. It also says that at the park entrance. I never got this either. The Park itself is still called Magic Mountain. Probably always will.
