thrillgeek Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 More popsicle sticks are always a good sign. Seeing Deja-Vu running is also a good sign. I can't wait to see how drastically the view from the Sky Tower will change in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooksta77 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm also looking forward to seeing the coaster rise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsguy5 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I like the Dejavu comment I was very surprised last spring when I went to SFMM during spring break and they had Dejavu running. Magic Mountain seems to be doing a much better job than SFOG and SFGAM with keeping Dejavu running smoothly. Right now for us coaster enthusiasts it's boring watching construction because they're doing all the groundwork. Once they get all that stuff done the construction of the supports will take off, considering a lot of them are already put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooksta77 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 And Then It will be a fun expirience looking it taake off! By the way it's been asked but has there been any progress since the last update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ^The last update is a whole TWO days old. Are you f*cking serious?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ^He's averaging 3 to 4 posts per page in this thread and the SFMM discussion one. Methinks he doesn't have much else going on aside from this. But I'm looking forward to watching this take shape. I think vertical construction on this will be more enjoyable to follow than Prowler, since it's much easier to see the coaster as a whole (especially with the tower) than the tree-hidden WOF ride.

Vffreak07 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 In the GCI 09 dept. I'm gonna have to take Prowler of this thing due to two reasons. 1.) The layout is sorta generic, and doesn't feature that many "Special Features" 2.) The name. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblackjack Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I was told during a Construction Tour of Prowler at Worlds Of Fun That GCI is ahead of schedule on Prowler and they were still planning on flying in some guys from the Germany Project and the Terminator site. They are also moving to 7 day Work weeks. I assume thats to try and Avoid the Kansas City ICE Storms. That might be why there is a slight hold up out west. We were also told that GCI uses a different Concrete Mix which cures in a little over 24 hours. Which means it should not sit for weeks after it is poured unless they are having Problems else where.

coolhandluke Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ^^While I too am anticipating Prowler a bit more than Terminator, I don't know that I agree with your reasons, as nothing really strikes me as unique on either coaster, to be honest. While sprawled out terrain coasters are a bit of a novelty for GCI, they certainly aren't unique. However, GCI has proven that they don't need stand out gimmicks to make awesome coasters. They will both be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Despite the criticism this coaster will inevitably receive, I think this is just what the park needs in it's lineup. I like Colossus, but let's be honest, nothing is stellar about it. It's not an El Toro clone, but I think we can all still live with what we're getting.

Manic Monte Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 ^ Yep, I'll take this over Dark Knight anyday. I suspect this coaster will be something like Rumbler, which I like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ek52992 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hey im new to this site. I have been lookin at the topics and what ppl say so i decided to sign up cause it got boring just browing and not writing..But neways back to the topic. This site named Screamscape had said that there is a company who is making trains now, the train can launch.and that it has on board audio.Do you think it is what the terminator is using?And the name of the company is the Gravity Group but the name of the trains are called Timberliner.

ebl Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^^ The new Timberliner trains are made by the Gravity Group, not GCII. Also, it's already been announced that a pair of GCII's own Millennium Flyers will run on Terminator. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 So have they not progressed at all on this thing? I'm really surprised that more than a week has passed without any news of the site. Hasn't concrete been poured yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^...Remember a page or two ago how everyone was talking about how they weren't able to make it to the park because of the freeway closures and the fact that the park was closed on Saturday?...thats why there isn't any new info. Park is closed during the week. I imagine will have some news of the progress this next weekend...when the park is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdt511 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Breaking News!!! It's now called "Terminator Salvation: The Ride" A helluva lot better than Terminator: The Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
