Blazen_AZN Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I would love to see i giant flatride come to the mountain. but they, at the mountain, have to go big or go home. noone cares about the avergae flats they already have, and other than around scream, i don't see a place for them, other than a large drop ride, which i think will come in due time. But as far as anything coming with Tatsu, well, I'm not sure, it would have to be form Astroworld, and was kinda spontaneus, like, 'hey! SFASS is closing, want a ride??' because, if not, wouldnt it be in that whole redzone report thingy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I still think that a giant frisbee would be a great replacement for Flashback, and they could still keep the record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossus Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 you know what would be a great ride to put in flashbacks spot? SWAT but its already going to SFNE i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 ^ Too bad their Drop Tower is supposed to go to Six Flags St. Louis. I really do hope we atleast get a flat ride from Six Flags Astroworld, SFMM needs them so bad! I hope they surprise us with one with the addition of Tatsu. I was hoping that AstroWorld's Troika ride would head our way, but that seems to be one of Six Flags Over Texas' 10 new rides for next season. Unfortunately, I really doubt any of AstroWorld's assetts will find their way to Magic Mountain. I'm just glad Dungeon Drop is going into St. Louis and not Magic Mountain. I could very easily see Magic Mountain's next major installation be the tallest free-fall ride in North America, or even possibly the world. A 350-foot tall Intamin Gyro Drop/Floorless Gyro Drop tower would be an exquisite addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLRC7 CP Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 knowing sfmm the intamin drop ride will have to be "extreme" and it will be more like 450ft or more, but i don't really know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 350... 450... 1000... Whatever! I love drop towers. MM needs one in a bad way. Guy "The higher, the better!" Koepp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLRC7 CP Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 can they even build anamuesment park ride over 900ft in california? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 they can build an office building over 1000 feet. I don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 ^^ uhhh, now, i may be wrong, but im going to go out on a limb and say 900 ft is a little "ambitious".... we havn't even gotten over 450 yet! but to answer your question, as long as it meets califorinia code for saftey, structual integrety and the like, they can build it. of course the city has to approve the plans, but i don't think that would be a problem for six flags Magic Mountain, maybe for alot of other cali parks though. they can build an office building over 1000 feet. I don't see why not. Ill give you a cookie if you point me to a 1000ft office building in CA. Yeah they can do it, but earthquakes 1000ft in the air dont appeal to many Euntrapaneuars (i'll also give you a cookie if you can butcher that word more than i just did!)

kraxleRIDAH Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 knowing sfmm the intamin drop ride will have to be "extreme" and it will be more like 450ft or more, but i don't really know You don't think 350-feet is "extreme?" We are yet to see a drop/free-fall/descending tower ride that has a dynamic ride height of 300-feet in North America. Everyone I know thinks Supreme Scream at 312-feet (and a 252-foot drop) is too high for their tastes, some strongly refuse to ride it, yet they will climb aboard X, Goliath, and Viper at Magic Mountain. I think a 350-foot drop tower would be received very well. Sure, the taller, the better, but a thin-circumference single 450-foot free-standing tower just sounds a little bit out there.

dsngiem Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 The US Bank Tower is 1,018 ft (310 m) 73 Stories Built in 1989 in Los Angeles... Mmmm. Cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 dang it, 18 feet? no fair! I knew it was around 70 stories, But i figured it was in the 900ft range. There are shorter buildings with more floors than this. Well, then, scratch what i said before, SFMM is probably planning a 900footer as we speak! Would anyone even ride that thing?? oh, about your cookie, uhhh, you see, there was this cookie monster, well, long story actually, but turns out I'm pretty much cookieless for awhile. Im sorry, but feel free to buy your own cookie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
