SuperMikeo Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 isnt it ironic that they are making this roller coaster (themed out of a heavy metal, guns, and insane futuristic robots) out of wood? it just seems ...stupid It's like rain.....on your wedding day. And it is DEFINITELY a free ride when you have already paid...Terminator that is. Park admission...free ride....anyone??? Cough. Sorry, I had too.

Wes Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Why is it when someone writes "Isn't _______ ironic?" the situation they are talking about is not ironic at all, usually either just coincidental or dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 ^Because they depend on Alanis Morrisette to define words for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 irony N - the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Or quiting drinking to live longer only to be kiiled in an accident by a drunk driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krnsngr85 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I just saw both the ride in action in testing as well as Robb's test video of Terminator Salvation The Ride. I hope everyone enjoys the ride.

CloneCaptain38 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Terminator Update: May 18th I just got back from Magic Mountain, and took many pictures, but here's the latest on what they were doing on Terminator. They're enclosing the tunnel after that first drop and inside the first drop structure, and also what looks to be removing excess wood from the coaster. The Sky Tower was closed, no pictures from above. I am unable to upload my pictures here. The originals are in HQ, and I scaled them down under 800x600, but it gets jammed up. I'll find another way to get them up here. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneCaptain38 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 So there is going to be a tunnel at the bottom of the first drop? Or are you referring to the turn that is below it? I was referring to that tunnel that is directly under the first drop, you'll know what I mean, as you view my images. And these two guys are taking a break, or are they covering up the Tyvek paper. You decide. "What are we doing up here?" the guy on the left asks, "I don't think we're going to be done with this thing!" the other guy on the right replies. I left before six, so I didn't stay for testing. I may have the rest of my images up on my website sometime during this next week. Tim Enclosing the tunnel. I believe these guys are removing excess wood that you have seen sticking out all over, because it looks dangerous to have it like that, but I could be wrong. Workers making sure this thing is in top shape for Media Day, and Saturday. Workers up on the wood, inspecting, and I believe removing the excess wood that has been sticking out. Nothing new here, just the entrance, still blocked off by the blue wall. More tunnel enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Awesome! Thanks for posting the pictures. Some of them were showing up as red X's so I uploaded them to the server. Hope that was ok. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that was ok. --Robb Yes, that is fine. I do have others, but nothing interesting that hasn't already been posted. Yes, this new coaster looks awesome in person, and it sure brightens up this area of the park, I can't wait to ride it. I don't think I'll be there Saturday, it will be far too crowded. I may go on a weekday sometime in June. I can't wait to see how long the line extends out on Saturday, and hopefully the Sky Tower is open, to get that birds-eye view.

rollercoasterfreak91 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Oh, the irony if finally getting iron on a wooden roller coaster. Perfect timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Maybe we wood-n't have such irony on a steel ride! I'm not sure why I'm surprised there's a tunnel on this ride. But I think it's in a great spot. We can't see the back side, but does this tunnel go all the way around the turn or just part/most of the way? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calicoasters Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I don't like the look of the metal sheeting in the tunnel. Maybe I will think differantly when there is special effects in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^I think the metal sheeting is what is going to make this rides theme seem appropriate. I had no doubt that SFMM will pull off the Terminator theme for this ride, and these little touches are what is going to make it happen. Well, part of it anyway. Chris.
