Six Flags Enthuseast Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 ^Yup, I'm glad they're making good progress! I hope they're ahead of schedule, because I'm going there in April. Not sure if they would work so hard that it'd be up a month early. DANG IT! Still, great update Robb! Glad someone's able to keep up with this great progress!
itnotfair Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I was trying to think of a good supplement to your Oingo Boingo quotation, but all I could come up with was.. "Don't run away, its a woodie!" Ouch. Thanks for the photos!
AlexG8462 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I'm sure this isn't a concern to some people, but one this that's bugged me about this ride is that it's a wooden roller coaster based off a movie about machines taking over the world! Even with this idea bugging me at times, I can't wait to ride it!
silvercrew1 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Wow that is taking shape very fast. I have been busy watching the Diamondback webcam and nothing on this. Can't wait to see more.
cooksta77 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 ^ I'm pretty sure that it is supposed to open Memorial day weekend. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I think it looks very nice up against the freshly painted Deja Vu.
stricklandCC Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 This monster is shaping up really nicely, great pictures. Just a silly side note\question though, I know that the "dead man's turn" is a common element on many wooden coasters, however, is there a reason they named it "dead man's turn"?
packfanlv Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks for the pictures Robb! I can't wait to see this next month a WCB. At the pace they are constructing it, the structure may be almost complete by then.
Swimace Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Robb, Cyberdyne Systems no longer creates Skynet under the current Terminator timeline. I'm sorry, but you need to up your nerd game. Oh, and nice construction pics. -Andrew
HEADCHEEZ Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Wow! It's going up fast! I can't wait to ride this beast!
coasterking2981 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I was passing by the park today and saw what I thought to be the lift hill going up (and it was really late when I was driving by it). Have they even started to put up the bents for the lift hill when you were there Robb? because I think my eyes were fooling me. Edit: The first picture seems to have answered this already.
Evan1127 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 No lift yet. Those are the first drop bents going up.
coasterking2981 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 ^Figured it was after I thought about it a little. Though I swear I thought I saw the lift hill bents up
ebl Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 "This area is going to look so much better with a GOOD woodie behind it!" (Robb) Actually, the last woodie was a good one---at first. But time, an earthquake, and heavy trains did it in. I was out at the park today and was glad to see the progress made since my last visit February 1. The tower was open, so I went up to get a bird's eye view. It's looking nice, and it's hard to believe that we'll be riding it in just over three months! Eric
Mr.Wood Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I know it's going up fast but LET'S GO!!!!!!! We are really looking forward to it. Thanks for the update.
TATSUFAN Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I WAS ALSO THERE ROBB. TERMINATOR IS COMING ALONG GREAT, CAN'T WAIT TO RIDE THIS WOODIE
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 ^Why are you shouting? We use indoor voices here
ebl Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 ^ Maybe he's on WiFi outside on a busy street. Eric
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Awesome update Robb! It looks like this ride is half done already.
24 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I'm still waiting to see the first drop to be built. Then we'll get an idea of what this is going ot be like.
chaos Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 It took me a while to get used to it, but I'm really starting to get excited about this now. And if Cyclone Bay does get renamed, do you guys think the whole area might be rethemed to have something to do with time travel? After all, Deja Vu is right there.
jamesdillaman Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 ^ Maybe he's on WiFi outside on a busy street. Eric Post of the day! -James Dillaman
SFMM100 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Wow, that sucker is getting built fast I'm excited to ride this. I wonder how the queue line is going to be, because there is hardly any room for it! =p Also, do you guys think they are going to theme everything? -Miguel
roface Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 You gotta love Great Coasters International!
