DisneyPro Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Alright, I thought that was the tunnel you were referring to. Thanks for the Photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'd like it better if they stressed the metal panels on the station. Completely unscathed metal sheets on a building in a post apocalyptic world featuring machines bent on destroying humanity just doesn't seem plausible. Guess I just gotta take what I can get though. (At least hit the panels a few times with some sledgehammers and throw mud on them or something.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^ They're only just now installing the panels, so there is still a chance we will see some sort of painting, or staining after they have been installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I wonder if they're gonna "pony express" this and finish details such as the tunnels after the ride opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneCaptain38 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 In this picture that I had taken, which I found after going through all my pictures, that the tunnel in question, as you can see is fully enclosed by wood, and the inside probably has the sheet-metal. Edit: Actually, it's the angle of the picture giving the illusion that the tunnel is fully enclosed, when it isn't in this picture. Those two guys on that crane lift, must be doing something with the tunnel on that end, or like I said in my previous post, they may be removing that excess wood that is sticking out.

rawrtotheargh Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I like the tunnels. And even if they don't paint them or do something to them, I am sure that over time they will age and look nice. Saturday cannot come soon enough. And yes I am one going to be one of those crazy people going on opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Now that they successfully run trains on the course, I wonder if anyone has "snuck a ride" yet... Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutusln Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Now that they successfully run trains on the course, I wonder if anyone has "snuck a ride" yet... Eric The Terminator commercial running on local LA TV appears to be real POV footage, not some CGI'd thing. And I believe the commercial began running only after the initial testing, leading me to believe it could be real Terminator POV footage. Has anyone either seen this commercial or have inside information on how it was assembled or when it first aired? BILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutusln Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^Is this it? No, the commercial I'm referring to has no people in it, and no comedy. Just the coaster in various long and medium shots, and then pov shots as it travels the track. Announcer says Six Flags blah blah Terminator using a foreboding voice. The whole commercial appears dark and mechanical. Has anyone else seen this ad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hmmmmmmmm? Corrugated steel tunnels? Me thinks they will be getting very hot inside those things come the middle of June. Perhaps that is to simulate the extreme climate change that happens in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^He is right, that'll probably be like 4 seconds of hell inside that tunnel, I'm betting the station will have some kind of cooling system though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^You would hope. Perhaps they think the station fly through will serve a dual purpose and will suck air in with the train and expel it as the train leaves. Rumble. Rumble! RUMBLE! Wooooooooosssshhh! RUMBLE! Rumble! Rumble. Extreme shotgun air conditioning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminatorschaffer Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 With trains on the track since last week, is it possible they already filmed pov's and commercial footage of Terminator? I haven't seen this one. I LOVE how a wood coaster is being themed to Terminator just so I can constantly hear people saying "the theme clashes and doesn't make sense" like it really matters or something...haha some coaster nerds... No wonder you don't get invited to the park on media day, all we'd hear is constant complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursemelis374 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Sorry if this is a repeat: I heard an advertisement on KROQ this morning for a private party this Thursday night for people that win tickets from KROQ. They said Terminator would be open. You can enter at www.kroq.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
