Six Flags Magic Mountain Terminator Salvation: The Ride

[SuperShawn]

^ Does that mean any sort of prepublic opening campout/event is out of the question for us?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Magic Mountin has told Robb "NO" to a capmout. And that seems to be the final word on it...

[SharkTums]

We wanted to do an event similar to Tatsu, or just something...park said no.

 

At this point, they haven't even announced their own event (similar to the X2 Campout), so who knows.

 

My guess is they're stressed about getting the ride open and done and don't want to do anything additional.

[SuperShawn]

Thats sad news, but I can understand its crunch time for them.

 

None the less I'll be up there opening week to take a ride or two or three~

[netdvn]

At the rate they're building this thing, I wouldn't be surprised to see SFMM adding the theming and putting the trains on the track by next week.

[atem122]

^hell they better get the trains on next week, otherwise they're gonna need to add an extra couple hours to the day to get more cycles in

[rawrtotheargh]

^ or push back the opening.

Trains have arrived!

Nice Speakers!

[SFMM100]

Wow, i love how

its designed!

[DiSab]

Hot damn. I'm really loving the looks of those. Great job - I especially love the machinery on the side panels.

[netdvn]

 

Wow GCI never fails to build sexy looking trains...

[CD]

wow... those trains look unbelievably cool.

 

They have "Terminator" written all over them.

[cooksta77]

The trains look better then I expected! Can't wait to see them on track.

[DiSab]

Finally, something metal on a Terminator woodie.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

Uber-sexy

[X2coasterfreak]

FINALLY!!!!!! They are here yes!! I have been waiting forever! I am so excited now for opening!

[SharkTums]

Sorry, but I don't think they look as good as everyone else seems to think.

 

Deep down, the theme doesn't fit a wooden coaster, and these sheet metal trains don't either.

[atem122]

Definitely the best MF's on the rails today, but I'm surprised nobody commented on this:

 

On-track testing of the newly arrived Terminator Salvation coaster trains is expected to begin on Sunday at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

[coasterking2981]

Finally trains are here. Have to sorta agree with Elissa, as they arent what I expected.

 

At least they are here though

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I agree. The trains are...interesting looking. I'm not sure I like them too much.

[haiderodes]

Interesting solution for the speakers. I wonder if there is a cover going over them.

[gotdane]

Sorry, but I don't think they look as good as everyone else seems to think.

 

AGREED. The front panel is bland and uninspired. I'm wondering how the front row will have audio. However, I will say, the side paneling looks good, but, the view from the back is less than stellar.

 

True, I'm being way picky about this...and the trains will look good from the side...but best MF's ever? Um...I don't agree with that..

[haiderodes]

^I'm thinking the front row's speakers will be built into whatever shell/railing they have.

[DiSab]

^^For me, Troy still comes in with the best MFs, but these are definitely a close second.

 

^^^There will most likely be a cover going over the speakers, probably incorporating the grab-bar as well. And I would put money that the speakers for the front row will go behind the sheet-metal front railing.

A cover couldn't incorporate a grab-bar. MF's don't have grab bars, and they wouldn't have a grab bar on the car in front of yours...that wouldn't be safe.
