HopeOfTheFuture Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm a big Terminator from the Netherlands You're a Terminator?!?!? lol Damn, typo "Terminator fan" Thanks for the info. I got a mail from Sixflags that they don't allow photography or filming on the ride. How did all those other people (like on youtube) film the ride etc? Do you think it's easy to film in the pre-show rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeOfTheFuture Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm back from my trip to the USA. Filmed some stuff for a fandocumentary video about this terminator ride. For a wooden rollercoaster this one goes fast and smooth. Too bad the ride itself doesn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeOfTheFuture Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just another question. 1) Does someone know all the lines that are said via the speakers? I already have a few but know I'm missing a few (plaese correct me if some lines are incorrect): - Here they come - It's a warzone (out there?) - Machines (missing some stuff) - Take the tunnel - This is our salvation. I also think they said something about succesfully escaping the harvester, but I'm not sure if this was said via the car's speakers or so. 2) Is there someone who has a clear recording of these audio lines?

Evan1127 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 In order: "This is our war" "Here they come!" "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" [A couple seconds of "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson] "It's a war zone out here" "Follow me" "Take the tunnel!" "We're holding 'em back" "The machines!" "This is our salvation" [A sort of call-and-response chanting] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrs28330 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 "We're holding them back!" may instead be "There's a hole in the track!" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeOfTheFuture Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Damn, your guys are good. Does someone know if there's a clear understandable audio recording of it? I have been looking at youtube videos for clear audio, but it's hard. It´s: We're holding 'em back (definitely NOT/ There's a hole in the track) edit: Finally found a good youtube video with better audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMountainMan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ^That was great! I've never heard half those on the ride because every time I ride the audio is wayyy quiet! What they need to do is find some way to balance the audio so it's really loud during the ride, but quieter when you're in the breaks/transfer area.

ebl Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've wondered if it would have worked better to have speakers along the sides of the track and have the audio played as the train passed. It could be triggered by a sensor. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMountainMan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ^I never did get to ride Scream when they did put the speakers around the track but I heard it really didn't work... So I don't know. They need find a solution though! I do think that the audio adds a lot to the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm so happy I got my rides on KROQ day when the audio was at full blast, it really does add to the experience. The fact that I have to really try to barely make out "TAKE THE TUNNEL!!!" is ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeOfTheFuture Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 To have great audio, they should do it like with Disney's rollercoaster with Aerosmith (I have been on the one in Paris). The speakers are located right next to your ears and all the audio is really clear and underestandable. The issue with the Terminator ride is that a wooden coaster makes a lot of noise, and that makes most of the audio really hard to hear. Also, some of the car have audio issues and don't even play audio (happened to me during my last ride on the Terminator coaster). But I managed to find all audio lines that are posted in various videos. I might do a mix of the audio when I work on my fandocumentary (I first have to do 2 other documentaries before starting on this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiyoh1984 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I was able this year to take a second trip to the west coast to check out Terminator. I can say so far it is one of my favorite modern woodies....it short of reminded me of a wooden Batman coaster meaning, fast and intense during the entire ride. I believe Six Flags made the right choice with a good new woodie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBrown Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I loved Psyclone's first drop. It was my favorite for many years. The rest sucked, but I'll miss that twisted first drop. Terminator's looks downright tame in comparison. Post Earthquake Psyclone was a far cry from what you remember, it was a mixture of this ride is a joke and oh crap this thing is going to collapse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
