packfanlv Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ^^I have to agree that in person the ride was definitely green. I guess I am in the minority in that I like the new colors. Yes I think there are better colors than purple for the supports, but the dark blue is a much better color than green IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The lime green was a little harsh on the eyes. I'm impartial the the paint job at this point. I'm anxious in seeing the trains and what was donr to them, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does anyone have anything on the new theme yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I reserving judgement on the color scheme until the name/exact theme is announced. I definately like how my old home park's SROS turned out with the similar, yet reversed colors. It definately stands out more. I never cared for the superman theme anyways and was happy to see the logos dissapear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So, I *THINK* I may have seen a picture of the trains' rehab..... http://www.premier-rides.com/parts_service/rehab.htm just a thought, but it could be the trains...... (don't know why Premier Rides would be preforming the rehab....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ^That does look like a B&M floorless train. I guess it could be Medusa's. It looks like we have to wait & see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie_Ray Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 That picture is one of Scream's trains. That picture has been on the site for about a year a two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 That picture is one of Scream's trains. That picture has been on the site for about a year a two. That's sad if trains from a coaster that has only been open since 04 already needed re-hab.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj snow Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Trains need rehab every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Trains need rehab every year. Yeah, but it that picture it looks like more than just "standard" maintenance. And tell that to parks that own an Arrow Coaster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGAm Shock Wave Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ^^Also, it is very uncommon for a park to send the trains off for annual rehabs. Annual rehabs are usually done by the park's own maintenance staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Depends on convenience though too... SFA sends all of their PTC trains (Wild One and Roar) to PTC every year for rehab. Then again, PTC is only a few hours up the road from SFA and apparently PTC gives them a really good deal. I would find it very hard to believe that SFMM would send their coaster's train all the way across the continent just for annual rehab... especially considering the park has MANY more coasters (including other B&Ms) that would need similar yearly maintenance.

Wes Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The guy who heads Premier used to be a higher up at SFMM, so maybe there's some sort of connection there. There's potentially thousands of reasons that none of us are privy to for Premier to be handling it. Maybe that train required more extensive work or expertise than others when it came time for rehab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-LILDAREDEVIL5- Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If you visit www.lexcorpinternational.com/security, you will be taken to a security monitor. Tag the photos that have numbers on them. Those numbers are 63, 31, 11, 14, and 82. The only hard one is 11, that one is on the clock. Once that has happened, you will be taken to a facial recognition page. Put the photos at the bottom in order of the numbers of the photos. The order is: 6314823111. Call this number, 1-631-482-3111 and the man in the facial recognition reveals an on-board audio system will be installed on Medusa and Superman Ride of Steel. Also, on page four of the Daily Planet web site, it says the "Metropolis Monarchs" baseball team lost miserably to the "Gotham City Goliaths" last season and plan to train extra hard to make sure they win this season. This is a possible connection that reveals the name. Gotham City Goliaths my guess is The Dark knight and Goliath roller coasters that went up in past seasons in the Gotham City sections of parks. Metropolis Monarchs could possiby mean the Medusa and S:ROS re-themes. Also, in one of "Jimmy's" videos at Jimmystruth2power.com, there is a message in the background that says "Go Monarchs". This could mean that the rides could be named Monarch and themed to some sort of Monarch-Luthor battle. Here's the character "Monarch": Can't wait for more, it's been fun playing along!

Jcoaster Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 ^ That is what we think the name is going to be. Let's not jump to any conclusions because it is definatly NOT offical yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenaapple1974 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 While it doesn't matter to me what the name actually ends up to be, because I love this ride - would they really bring a super hero character type theme to this side of the park as well? Why not keep it on the proper side of the park? I cannot wait until they finally unveil the name though. I hate to speculate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideOn87 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That was a cool little game to play! I love how interactive they've gotten. Phone calls is a major plus IMO. I don't know if I would have figured it out with out your spoiler though! Have they emailed out sp holders and "funatics" subscribers about this? I wonder how many people are actually following this progressive game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 If the new theme is Monarch the special effects should be interesting. Does anyone think that flames would be placed at the cobra roll? That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugart Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Im a pretty big comic fan, and I gotta say that if it is a Monarch theme, its really stupid. No one is gonna know who the hell he is, heck I can barely tell you who he is. I'm all for the retheme, but atleast do something that makes sense. Now we have 4 comic related coasters in the park, 3 of which aren't even close to each other. I know most people dont care, but this RCT slap rides and themes down anywhere bugs the heck outta me. Its just lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^I don't know who the hell the characters are at European theme parks, but I still enjoy the rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugart Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^I don't know who the hell the characters are at European theme parks, but I still enjoy the rides! Yea, but I bet the majority of the people in Europe do. If your gonna spend a lot of money to re-theme a ride why do it with an obscure character, when you can do it with someone with mass appeal. I still dont think Monarch is the theme though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^I understand what you're saying about the superhero theme possibly being spread out in 3 different areas of the park. It doesn't really make much sense in my opinion, but oh well. Here's hoping that Medusa isn't themed to Monarch. ...Whoever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Davidson Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hey guys, Even though this is a Medusa transform announcement, I do have some news for you with both the RIDE and other things happening at the park!
