mattnz Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Interesting maps. Twisted Twins is mysteriously missing from the SFKK map... Two-Face is mysteriously missing from the SFA map... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycamps Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It's nice to see the maps re-vamped. I thought it was funny that on the map of SFGAm, on TDK there is a large graphic on the "box" that doesn't really exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ^^Not a big surprise from SFKK. The Twins weren't on last year's map, and SF sent out emails reporting they weren't in the budget planned for 2009, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Most of the coaster layouts have improved on SFMM's new map, but Riddler is way off! Eh, the first drop and loop, yes, but the rest is fairly accurate. As for the "emphasis on coasters" thing, could it just be the size proportion? I mean, coasters are much bigger than shops and kiddie rides in real life. Maybe that's what the main problem is, as it doesn't really seem to me that they tried to exaggerate the size of the coasters at all (unlike CP, where MF's absurd lift completely covers the little petting farm). It seems they kept the actual sizes fairly proportionate. I really do like these new maps though. Clear and concise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 "Don't remember Tatsu being on my map..." (AWill961) Tatsu opened in 2006, which is why it wouldn't be on a 2005 map. Just tellin' ya. OK, for your viewing pleasure, here are the .jpg files for my 1971 map. I apologize for their large size, but if I make them too small, the detail will be lost. However, if any TPR staff members want me to resize the files, I will. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchboogie3 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The new maps are a huge improvement. They look really good. The only strange thing is missing roller coasters and some that are way off. I was looking at the Great Adventure map and the layout for El Toro is way off and it also isn't drawn very well, same for basically the rest of the coasters on that map (when compared to the SFMM map and other maps). It just looks weird because there will be one very accurate, well drawn coaster next to one that look like they just quickly sketched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ^ I hope also that maps in display cases around the various parks will be replaced with one of these new maps. They would really make navigating the park that much easier. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Booo.... Two Face isn't on SFA's map this year. Nor is anything else different, so unless they redo the map, that "BIG" announcement sounds like a spoof. I love how they put grass between Wild One and Batwing, when in reality, its a giant dirt lot. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti762 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It was also mentioned at Eastcoaster that the new maps would be for all SF parks. Finally a decent map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterEricHP Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 They look nice!! But they ARE missing the crime scene tape in the SFA parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacups Make Me Sick Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 OK, for your viewing pleasure, here are the .jpg files for my 1971 map. I love all the great performers that played at Magic Mountain, like Phyllis Diller...now SF only gets crappy performers like the Jonas Brothers or Mendudo.

AWill961 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 "Don't remember Tatsu being on my map..." (AWill961) Tatsu opened in 2006, which is why it wouldn't be on a 2005 map. Just tellin' ya. Yeah I know lol. Don't remember Tatsu being on my map or Terminator (of course), but yes, Flashback was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ^^ Yeah, I laugh at the celebrity lineup at that time. But remember, it was a family park and the acts had to appeal to everyone. We went on August 20, 1971, so according to the schedule, Mel Torme was playing that day. I think we went to the performance, but for some reason I don't remember it. But I do remember sitting in the 7Up/Dixi Cola Showcase Theatre just before leaving. Chances are, I was so bored that I enjoyed watching the Metro trains passing by more than the show! Whatever happened to Dixi Cola, anyway? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Interesting maps. Two-Face is mysteriously missing from the SFA map... It's no mystery since SFA decided to get rid of the ride following a mechanical malfunction back in 07.Just look for another boring stage or costume character dressing room to take it's place since SF doesn't want to add rides to the park.
