alexinla Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Fire? OMG, it is burning down already...the resistance lost...
bonjovimonkey Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Of course i didn't even notice. Me bad. I just noticed how FAST it is FLYING around the track. I am so excited for tonight. I just wanna ride.
rawrtotheargh Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I am loving the theming so far. Can't wait to see what Robb and everyone else thinks about it
SharkTums Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry for the delay, I had to bring KT to Gymboree. Most of you won't understand that, but for us it's Gymboree > Terminator! Speaking of Terminators, there's one now!
SharkTums Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 BTW, that Terminator is in the shop...make sure to buy lots of Terminator Merchandise and support the resistance!!!! Oh, did I mention the ride has fire? Let's hope it doesn't burn it to the ground!!!
ernierocker Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry for the delay, I had to bring KT to Gymboree. Most of you won't understand that, but for us it's Gymboree > Terminator! I may not have understood that three weeks ago, but I understand it completely now!
**McFly** Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 This is killing me!! This is the first media day I have missed since Riddlers Revenge. Looks like an awesome day out there and I can't wait to ride!
bonjovimonkey Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 If it makes you feel any better i have not been to a media day period. Uberbeavis has been to almost all of them but me not a one. I am getting more and more excited for tonight actually. I can't wait. FIRE!!!! Yipee. I love FIRE. Bring it on!!!!
CloneCaptain38 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Awesome pictures. I wish I was there taking pictures. There will be Fox News at 12 p.m., and Good Day L.A. (repeat) I believe at 12:30 p.m. on Fox TV 11, that's in the Los Angeles Area. I am sure footage and reports will be on many news stations today, and Fox News at 10 p.m. tonight as well, may have highlights from today's media day.
Goliath513 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Damn! From the video it looks like this ride is hauling BALLS! Can't wait to ride this when I'm there on Saturday!
SharkTums Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Robb should hopefully be back soon to get you guys some pictures and video from this morning. He says it's a good solid GCI ride. I'll let him fill you all in on the rest of the details and what he thinks!
Corcoran Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 if any one is going saturday for terminator and wishes to gather as a group PM me and we'll set a gather point in the morning befor the park opens and for those who cant make the opening i'll give my contact info to join when you arive. i most likly will be there by myself.
allthingsea Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 ^im going but idk when ill be there. it all depends on traffic to cali for vegas
robbalvey Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Just got back home from media day. The ride really delivers. The theming, while not *quite* convincing me about the "wood coaster = abandoned machine", was really well done! You enter the "themed" area of the queue just after the outside swtich backs and there are 3 pre-show areas filled with videos, props, and yes, even Terminators! The coaster itself is really solid. If you've been on a GCI you'll know what to expect. Great, fast-paced ride with some pops of air all over the place. The on board audio...well, all I can say is "TAKE THE TUNNEL!!!!" The fire works well, but maybe not *quite* as impactful after seeing it on X2, I dunno, but it was fun and effective. Overall, it's a solid ride. It's going to be a fan favorite of many people who visit the park! I'll have photos later today and a video tomorrow! --Robb
megamatt Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Im happy to hear that. Can't wait for the videos and photos! Woot!
rawrtotheargh Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! I had a feeling they were going to do fire. It's a wooden X2!
allthingsea Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 take the tunnel? is it like they are giving u directions threw the ride. oh i get it... im getting more and more excited. idk if thats possible
Aaronkv Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Can't wait till next month!!! So "Take the tunnel" is to Terminator as "Going down" is to X2. I will say, if this doesn't have any Sinatra in the audio track I will be extremely disappointed.
daveydo5172 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Are you still going to give us that news you mentioned yesterday? I keep looking back over the last couple of pages to see if I missed it.
SharkTums Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 ^We're working on it! Just be patient, it has nothing to do with this weekend so don't worry about anything being last minute!
rawrtotheargh Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 ^ From the way Robb worded the announcement it sounded pretty good. You guys are too much. Always trying to get us special events and such. I don't know how you guys handle it all. Elissa are you riding Terminator later tonight?
