Crazy4Coasters! Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks for the pics. It's great to see that the lift is half way done. I can't wait to see the final stretch of construction for the ride. And judging by the progress that could be happening pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesiscrazy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks for the pics. This is looking good. Does anybody know when the trains are going to be on site? Can't be long now till test runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 ^Trains don't get to the site normally until the circuit is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 well it's all gonna be easier now, if they can get the top part of the lift hill finished off that fast, it shouldnt take too long to place the bents for the bottom, anyone know when they're gonna start station construction though?

Sir Clinksalot Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Ride looked good today. Lift looked like it was almost done. Couldn't tell if the rest of the track was done yet or not. I'd imagine they have to get the pre-show buildings in there before they can finish the fly-through and stuff, but couldn't quite tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 April 5th, 2009 Update! We haven't done much of an update since West Coast Bash on March 22nd since not too much was new last weekend, but WOW, this week the lift hill seemed to go up really fast! Check it out.... Â OMG! Stop the presses! We have LIFT HILL!!! Â Oooh! Looky! The bridge! The bridge! Â Those popsicle sticks sure turned out purdy! Â More concrete slab photos. Â Soon...trains will be roaring down the track....soon! Â They have got a lot of new bents up since West Coast Bash. Â Hello Terminator! You are looking very dense today. Â Another soon-to-be lift hill shot. Â And now it's a CLOSE UP of the soon-to-be lift hill! Â Yup, it's construction. Â Yup, it's the lift hill. Â Lots of track has been laid....and the track seems to be VERY happy! Â Hey look! The lift is also a TUNNEL!!! Â Mr. Crane is jealous of DCA's crane. Â Unfinished lift hill...THROUGH THE TREES!!! Â Still waiting for more popsicle sticks. Â Yeah, the structure is very dense. Â Uh, oh...is this really a STEEL coaster??? Â The worlds first woodie with a "jump" Â Artsy shot! Â Dead Man's Party turn. Â Yup, it's a bridge alright. Â More bridge update. Â I like how this turn looks a little "warped!" Â Oooh...some new concrete...wonder if that will be for the entrance? Â One of the restrooms getting a re-model that Jay talked about during West Coast Bash. Â Looking more and more complete each week! Â We see you Mr. Lift Hill! Â X2 reservations is just for Gold Q-Bot users now. Â If you get a reservation for X2, then all adult-sized coasters are available today! Â And here are the Flash Pass prices. Â More Flags! Â More fun! Â More updates coming soon! Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 That's one good looking roller coaster. My only problem with the ride is the same problem I had with it when it was just a rumor: WTF IS UP WITH THE TERMINATOR ROLLER COASTER BEING A WOODIE!?! Nothing screams robots more than wood!

Sir Clinksalot Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Wow, Robb get's the exclusive views!!! Awesome stuff. I can't wait to ride this. Couldn't believe how much had been done since WCB. Â I thought the turnstyle things were interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Wow, Robb get's the exclusive views!!! I'm not sure what you mean. I took these all mostly from the Deja Vu exit area. Then a few others were taking from the area near the candy store. Â --Robb "Nothing exclusive in this update, sorry!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Wow Robb, thanks for the great update again!! The lift is coming fast. Also it's great that now they have flash-pass for DejaVu, I thought that it would neer happen  Thanks again Robb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I absolutely love these Terminator shots. The ride is coming along very nicely and quickly. Â The ride looks so sexy, but I'm not a big fan of the "One Flag, Six Flags" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atem122 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have the feeling to fashion my own terminator train, sneak in there, put them on, and ride it now! That jump looks intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ONE Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Wow The coaster has gone up fast it looks very interesting, I'm a bit sad that when I'm their on May 10 that it won't be open yet. Â I also noticed that SFMM Flash Passes are cheaper than SFGAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The first drop on this thing looks like a exact mirror image of the first drop from the Kentucky Rumbler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dead Man's Party turn. Â Who could ask for more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan1127 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The first drop on this thing looks like a exact mirror image of the first drop from the Kentucky Rumbler. Â Almost, but Terminator's first drop crosses back through the lift immediately, so the dynamics at the bottom will differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Outstanding update, Robb- and really REALLY obscene. Some of those shots are worth their weight in gold. Just plain ol' fashioned dirty dirty dirty! And quite nice, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force! Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm honestly going to try to be at the park the first day this thing opens. It just screams fun or what the British guests at knotts said today, "Brilliant!" (In regards to Xcel) Â Â At least to my knowledge, that was their country of origin. Ah, whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Wow, construction is moving fast, but there's not too much time left! I am really going to try and go back down again once it's running. I hope everything rides as good as it looks, but the bridge is still looking pretty sad. Maybe they're going for the industrial wasteland look.
