DJeXeL Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 ^LOL. You could have been like another park to the East of you that has a coaster that is fully built damn near and still denying that it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Maven Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 ^ Gee, thanks. Really, though, we were ready to burst - for months afterwards, every time I'd say "Thunderbird" out loud, a little alarm would go off in my head. (VP James recently told me he experienced the same thing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is there really a need to post all that when we could just click on the link....  Holiblog  Up,up,up!  For you Dom497 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Pardon the interruption, but when did work on Thunderbird begin? We're getting a new ride here at SFMM, but they've already removed an airtime feature and are running late! Seems like your ride went up real quick! Â You're also talking about two different park manufacturers. Rocky Mountain Construction, who is building Twisted Colossus, has a much more complex construction process than a B&M, like Thunderbird. You also have to account for Six Flags management, who are notorious for opening late attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu K Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Testing due to start once it warms up. I asked the same question on facebook page. Â Stu K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 ^ Which won't be until next week. More snow and ice sometime today and single digit temps (possibly in the negatives) on Friday. Mother nature hasn't cooperated quite as well as she did when Thunderbird was under construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 ^ I blame Thunderbird. He's all about extremes in weather. The day we topped the Immelmann (last fall) we had hail! I heard thunder yesterday ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Maven Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 ^ Indeed. The farmer who owned this land back in the early 1820s buried the 66 Days at Sea journal in a wooden box, hoping his descendents wouldn't have to deal with Thunderbird's moodiness and its effect on the weather.
