travanx Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I kept wondering why they don't advertise the ride over in that area. I also heard so many people in ride lines talking about going on Deja Vu. How come you guys were at the park on Saturday? I cant wait to get my money's worth out of the 2009 season pass. I mainly bought it for this new ride. In case anyone at the park is listening.
snoflake15 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Nice update. I wonder why SFMM doesn't have some kind of advertisement for the new ride on the blue construction wall.  How about "OPENING SOON - DEJA VU"
daveydo5172 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Its nice to see its finally coming along....it will go up quickly I am sure....all of a sudden, you will show up, and voila...its there...or a good part of it.....they do seem to be going up quickly....now, on a side note, screamscape.com posted an article on Dec 5th, from the LA Times, an interview with Shapiro about the next new coaster for MM in 2010(as well as the Dubai park).....cant wait to see what thats going to be like....the article also mentioned that if Terminator is a success, then other parks will see clones in the next few years....
Calicoasters Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 The Blue wall is blank probably because they just finished removing the Thomas Town logos stapled to it. I think some advertising is needed soon, people need something to get excited about at that end of the park. Â Also Renegade construction started much earlier because eventually the project was slowed dramatically by harsh Minnesota winter which we don't have in California.
packfanlv Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I was at the park on Sunday and wondered the same thing about lack of signs for the new ride. It does make sense though that they will be coming soon since Robb said that the fence had just gone up. Â Without Deja Vu open that is really a dead area of the park for sure. I had no reason to be there other than to see what I could of the construction. I also agree with other posters that they need to do something with those buildings. They are really old and run down! Why not tear a few out and open up the view of Terminator?
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I really am hoping they spruce up that whole area during the winter. Afterall, It will suddenly garner a whole lot more attention next year when the new ride opens. I'm also still wondering to what extent they will theme the area in and around the ride. Hmmmmmm? Â Guy " Only time will tell." Koepp
thrillgeek Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 ^I'm excited to see that too. Wee....concrete is good.

Â You just reminded me of an article that had been posted on the LA Times long before that interview, stating that SFMM was asked about getting SFNE's Dark Knight before it refused and instead wanted to build Terminator Salvation. Â Somehow I now get the feeling that's what'll come to us in 2010, for the reasons that its small enough to fit within the park and its another family attraction. Â Correct me if I'm wrong, but could The Dark Knight fit within the space once taken up by Flashback?

4rturo Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 ^ True, finally we're getting something after four years , besides, it has been mentioned that Flashback's spot will be used to expand HH
ebl Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Honestly, I'm hoping that The Space That Once Belonged to Flashback will provide room for a good Hurricane Harbor expansion. That park is about due for one. Â About SFMM's 2010 coaster, remember that Freefall left behind a nice chunk of open space. I suspect that's where it will go. Â Eric
coasterking2981 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 ^^^ Ah ok I had wondered where it was going. At least though that makes it a good (more or less) candidate for another family coaster at SFMM
daveydo5172 Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Freefall didnt leave that much space....not enough for a coaster.....
Manic Monte Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 ^ But plenty of room for a station. Remember, coasters often go up and out of their central location.
coasterking2981 Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 But wouldnt it seem out of place? Besides, Riddler looks better without anything sitting where Freefall used to.
robbalvey Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Freefall didnt leave that much space....not enough for a coaster..... Oh, don't be so sure! Â --Robb
ebl Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 ^^ Riddler would look better if it had a coaster intertwined with it. As Robb inferred, there is more room in that area than you think. Â Eric
gotdane Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 ^I could EASILY see a Joker "themed" Dive Machine going in right there. Â However, I don't think we'll be seeing an investment that big for the next coaster.
Vffreak07 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 14. Meanwhile, dirt has been dug up somewhere else in the park...the cycle begins again. Â Somewhat . . . So far we've had a couple out of the list.
daveydo5172 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 yeah, Free Fall could have left enough space....but there is also other room in the park to put a coaster into as well....that would seem even more logical....
daveydo5172 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 practical instead of logical.....as well as more appealing places in the park, that could bring more traffic to other areas of the park.....but, who knows where the park is planning on putting the next coaster....I am sure it will be great wherever it goes.....
trcg721 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I hope they dont add a Coaster where Free fall use to be, Maybe a tower ride instead. Having anothing coaster there might make it feal really crowded and cramp.
SharkTums Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 ^Why is 'crowded' or 'cramped' a bad thing? Â Some of the cooler looking parks are awesome due to having rides on top of rides. And some ride experiences are improved by intertwining with more rides.

And some ride experiences are improved by intertwining with more rides. Yeah, I totally agree with you. Just look at Great Bear for instance. Not only does it have to make its way through several different rides, but it also wasn't allowed to have footers in the river because of zoning restrictions or something, and look at the result! The layout is great and totally unique, the ride is intense and was great for the park, and I bet before it was built not a single person would have ever thought a coaster would fit their.
