I was at Six Flags the other day, and took some pictures of Terminator: Salvation - The Ride from the Sky Tower with my 12x Zoom on my digital camera.

 

I was there briefy, and didn't ride it. The full story can be found on my YouTube channel and video I filmed this day.

The first drop and descent. I was waiting for a long time in zoom for the train to come, but never did, so I just snapped this photo, and left the Sky Tower with my sister and nephew. That's all the pictures I took of TS:TR on this day.

The crowd in the queue. Since I didn't ride it, my sister said it was about a 45 minute wait, and she rode it in the afternoon, this was a Thursday.

At first I kept listening for take the tunnel on the dead mans turn. But then realized that its during the fly through. And since then now I can hear it. But it took me until like ride 5. But the audio is definitely too low. I haven't ridden it in a couple weeks though. It may be a little louder now.

Hi, found this site and love it! Have spent far too much time here haha!

 

I have a question -- I have read that the old-west Shooting Gallery at Magic Mountain was demolished to make way for the new Terminator Coaster. Does anyone know if the arcade was saved, perhaps to be moved to a new location, or is it just gone? That would be too bad, really, if it has been totally torn down. Yeah, it's old-school cheesy amusement park stuff but I have strong sentimental memories of the arcade and I bet a lot of other people do as well. If anyone has photos of videos of the Shooting Gallery they'd post, that would be super. Thanks!

^ Shooting gallery/arcade = bye bye.

 

Quite honestly, shooting galleries that don't use real pellets aren't any fun anyway. Besides, there's already quite enough games at SFMM to keep anyone busy.

Well, what I miss is the "hokey factory" about the old west - saloon - gold rush town - shooting gallery. I went there for the first time back in the early 80s and have been back several times over the years.

 

The last time I went (last summer) was with a family who had little kids with them. One of them, a little 3-yr-old, just went ape-p@@p for the shooting gallery, for whatever reason, maybe some deprivation in his childhood, who knows... Well, he wanted to spend the entire day there watching the animated figures and stuff. Maybe it was because so much of the rest of the park was just sensory overload for his young little brain... He got scared TO DEATH of Marvin the Martian..... okay, give him a break, he was only 3!!

 

This family was planning to go there again this year. But when Dad found out the shooting gallery had been demolished, he felt it would be too traumatizing on little son so they went to another park instead.

hi guys,

 

my first post here.

 

I'm a big Terminator from the Netherlands, and will go to Terminator Salvation: The Ride in September. I'm really excited, as this is one of the reasons I am going to the States.

 

Do you have any good advices about the ride?

I want to film a lot of it, because I'd like to make a little fandocumentary about the ride for 2 terminator sites:

www.terminatorfiles.com and www.hopeofthefuture.net

Do you know if it's possible to film a lot in the attraction? I'd like to film the pre-show videos as well so I can make a short montage for the documentary about the backstory of the ride.

 

 

I also read people mentioning some special Terminator screen that's easy to miss. Can someone explain it to me? I have read the last 10 pages but can't find much about it, and I don't plan on reading the whol 280+ pages of this topic.

 

 

Any advices/ideas are welcome. I hope it will be an awesome visit and it won't disappoint me, because I'm such a big Terminator fan and coming to the USA specially for this attraction.
