Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 And for any one going to opening day, be warned when I asked how long of a wait they were expecting, they said 8-9 hours. Although I doubt it will get that long, just be prepared. Get there early and have fun on this AWESOME woodie! Id call 3 1/2 hours a stretch, 8 hours is a home run to Canada. I could definitley see the line getting 2+ hours typically in the summer though. This ride reminds me a lot of Maverick, small coaster in the back of the park dwarfed by bigger coasters in front of it but one of, if not the best, ride in the park. Also Terminator IMO looks like the most complete SF addition since BTR. Cant wait to go on it Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 ^ I'm just telling you what I was told. Yes I do think its a stretch, but the way they have the pre show set up, I could actually see it possibly happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan1127 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 There's definitely a FlashPass queue. It joins the regular queue before the preshow. I don't know if it will be available this weekend, if that's what people were referring to when they said it isn't available. Also, the station is the same size as every other ride we do (except Gwazi and Lightning Racer, obviously). There are ten spots with floater airtime. I verified in both the front and back.

xxmat2 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 8 to 9 hours?! woooow do you think making it the first ride of the day will make it shorter? then again i'm sure everyone at the front of the park will head that way right away haha. any stradegy to a shorter wait? short cuts to the ride or stuff? anyone even up right now?! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Well they really got the theme there, I want to see the movie now, but I'd think I'd rather ride the coaster, but sadly the coaster is 2 days away Anyways, the themeing is outstanding for six flags, and this looks like an incredible coaster. -Matthew K.

Speeddeamon128 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Awesome media report Robb this ride looks awesome! I can't wait to ride it on West Coast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 There is no way the ride is going to have "8-9 Hour Waits". Whoever told you that is very dumb. I do believe you will see three hours today. And yes, you can tell the queue is setup for Flashpass, but I doubt they're going to use it Opening/Holiday Weekend. (Unless perhaps they offer an X2 type of upgrade for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmat2 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 heading off, hopefully it's not a 8-9 wait but agree with u ^ its a regular style ride shouldn't be to slow loading which makes line tone down a bit, but havent seen the actual rides loading procedures, I will today, no more talk time for action!

CoasterCrazy88 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hahahahahahahahahaha 8-9 hours?! That's simply crazy. I don't believe that for a moment. Well, I'll be riding it soon. I'll put my review up ASAP! --Antonio"SO EXCITED!"G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Great report, the ride looks great. Now I have to find a way to get to next year's west coast bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.C. Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm typing this from the Best Western across the freeway from SFMM. My friends and I are planning to get to the park around 9:30 and then we're going to rush right for Terminator so that we can hopefully get in line before it gets too long. We're planning to wait as long as we have to in order to get on Terminator at least once today. Hopefully Terminator will take some of the lines away from Tatsu and X2, we didn't get on Tatsu yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 ^If everyone is rushing Terminator, I would be heading to X2! Finished my review of the ride! http://calicoasters.blogspot.com/ Awesome stuff, although sorry Sarah wasn't feeling great. I think I saw you sitting at the eatery across from Gold Rusher when we went to ride Batman, but I wasn't sure. Still should have said hi. Here is my review and pics from the ride. http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/weekend-update/1104-weekend-update-terminator-salvation-debut-seaworld-double-dip-tokyo-time-venice.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooksta77 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 ^^ Funny I'm typing from the HGI at the bottom of the hill leading to Terminator.

SharkTums Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 You guys should all stop posting and get over to the park. It's a long walk back to Terminator and you'll want to be towards the front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
