sixflagsmagicmountain Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 ^Oh god I hope so! The techno remix is so awesome.
Manic Monte Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 The movie has a new trailer! http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810025211/video/12282404
chef kitchen Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Wow i'm suprised by those flash pass prices. Wayyyy cheaper than SFGADV. I wonder if they will lower their prices too?
Crazy4Coasters! Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 ^ Holy Crap! Those flash pass prices are so low! SFGAv's was 120 for gold for two. Those Flash Pass prices aren't correct. The final prices should be up next weekend and I will post them. --Robb
itsasamccormick Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I think the coaster they used for the ad thing was evil kenevil at sfstl. im not for sure tho.
X2coasterfreak Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The coaster on the banner could also be Renegade at ValleyFair! just an idea.
coasterking2981 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Its not Renegade. The banner seems to show the train begining on the first drop, and banks to the left. Renegade's drop first banks to the right then left, but it banks to the left near the bottom of the first drop, so no matter how far or at what angle you take it, it'd be impossible to get the shot on the banner from Renegade without getting more wood within the picture. Note that the rail on the lead train of Renegade is black, not red.
nagro5 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The coaster on the banner is Evil Knievel. Evil Knievel: Banner: You can tell by the pattern on the side of the trains.
SFMM100 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 oh so that is the coaster. The people look fake tho. (out of topic) in the banner, have you noticed on the third row, the girl with orange has no hands??
ajinaz Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 It doesn't appear that anything major has happened this week. When I was up in the tower a few minutes ago there were a lot of workers on site. Around ten of them were under the crane. It appeared that they were getting ready to lift a rather big piece of the lift hill.
ebl Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Just thought of this...they do pull-throughs for steel coasters. Do they do those or an equivalent for a wooden one? Eric
robbalvey Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 wrs28330 did a great SFMM update here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711403#711403 Here are a few of the Terminator photos from that update - The "signature shot" The turn around at the top of the lift is complete. Not much change here, as they still need room for equipment. Work on the entrance bridge continues. Yup The popsicle sticks slowly decrease in numbers. A few more shots from Cyclone Bay. Hello sexy blue wall! Say "hello" to your new brother! Time is ticking closer to West Coast Bash! I will see you there!

coastermoosh Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The post-lift turn looks to be about 2/3 complete...it should be a lot closer to 180* when finished. Otherwise it's looking good. I especially like the thru-the-lift-structure turn.
ajinaz Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I posted a short video of the site from the Sky Tower to see how the video looks. I'm just trying out my new Vado Mini HD Camcorder so this is about exciting as watching paint dry. It does give a decent perspective of the site. I think it looks better in HD. I didn't use the crappy Zoom feature since that nullifies the HD. From this distance it really loses detail but what do you expect for less than $100?
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ^That video is much more exiting than what I get to do every day up here in Washington!
coasterking2981 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I wonder when the trains will be sent in? Mid to late April maybe?
the ghost Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I have never been on a GCI, but have always wanted to, and will get my chance very shortly. A question for anyone who has ridden a GCI, does the "dead mans turn" element hurt? The ending of that element looks totally brutal, but, besides Gwazi (which I'm sure would be better with MFs) are there any really rough GCI's. Anyway, I have pretty high hopes for this ride.
CreditCrazy Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 No, The Deadman's Turn doesn't hurt. It's smooth, just like most GCI's. Rough GCI's? There are some out there. Besides Gwazi, I hear Wildcat is rough, Roar (SFA) is, pretty much GCI's that got ruined by the PTC trains.
ebl Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 As I've said, I've heard that ROAR! at SFDK (Vallejo, CA) is still a good ride. But it's the first to have had the Millennium Flyer trains on it, so chances are, that's what's kept it good. I'm finally beginning to be able to trace the layout of Terminator. Looks like it's going to be great! Eric
packfanlv Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ^Roar at SFDK is an ok ride, but I wouldn't call it great or even good. While it isn't "kick your ass" rough, I definitely wouldn't describe it as smooth either. With that said, I have heard that it was much better when it opened. I am sure some of the roughness comes from maintenance issues.
the ghost Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 No, The Deadman's Turn doesn't hurt. It's smooth, just like most GCI's. Rough GCI's? There are some out there. Besides Gwazi, I hear Wildcat is rough, Roar (SFA) is, pretty much GCI's that got ruined by the PTC trains. Yeah, I forgot about Roar, and did not mention Wildcat due to the addition of MF trains, I heard it is much better now.
