thrillseeker4552 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 You can definitely feel some nice laterals on Twisted Colossus's slightly twisted drops, so I can only imagine how exaggerated this one will be! I'm REALLY hoping I can make it to NoCal to ride this thing!
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Couple Pictures takin from the Park's instagram! Photo creds to the park. The First features the topping of the lift (Yesterday) while the second pic shows the lift from 5 days ago! Forget the bolts; how is the train going to navigate that gauge change? From SFDK instagram Oh dear... That looks... AMAZING!! For a "smaller" coaster it is going to provider a nice punch during that drop.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Gorgeous Looks like I have a new computer desktop picture!
Krikey Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 I can't wait to ride Joker this summer. It's looking fantastic already.
Kim Jong Un Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Man, I really, really want to know how they make that track.
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Man, I really, really want to know how they make that track. I'm sure RMC would be more than happy to tell you how they make their track!
I love pie Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 This coaster looks awesome. Although I do wish the coaster's layout was the same as this prediction. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]Courtesy of newfor2016.

If it's how I think they make their track, based on what information is currently out there, it's incredibly impressive what they are doing.

scooterdoug Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Yesterday, 12/22, was the ideal day. It rained in the morning, but stopped before the park opened. The result: a very quiet park. I'm talking riding the front of Superman 9 times in a row without getting off. The ride ops were clearly amused, and actually helped me get the most out of my marathon. Since I was the only rider on most rides, they simply checked my restraint, then sent the train right back out. I was in the station for mere seconds before launching yet again. It was great! All day long, the only lines were for the front of any given ride. And even still, I walked right to the empty front row of Superman at various points throughout the day. I can't wait for days like this next year, when there's a kick-a$$ RMC available. Speaking of which, I may or may not have a picture or two of a very steep and curvaceous first drop. It looks cool in pictures, but it's even more dramatic in person. The curve to the right is seriously tight and sharp. I can imagine many coaster enthusiasts will prefer the back row, left side in the train once it's open, as it looks like that drop will eject you straight out of your seat before throwing you to the left. In other construction news, the pre-lift section looks completely different than what's shown in the concept animation. Instead of series of flat turns bookended by bunny hops, it's now a series of small twisting hills, similar to Twisted Colossus. It looks very cool. There isn't any track in the parking lot at the moment. And, the ledgers for the first inversion are up. That's all this time around. Enjoy the pictures! -Doug A rather crappy quality picture of the changing skyline. This is the only iPhone picture on the TR. I used my digital camera for all the rest. Like I said, steep and curvaceous. The twist to the right is seriously sharp. I find this to be an acceptable amount of steepness. A first inversion will go here, hopefully soon. I believe that scientists call it a Step-Up Under Flip. Lift hill. Workers doing something or other to said lift hill. Itty bitty twisty hills. I definitely prefer this to a bunch of flat turns. From the other side. That's all for now. I'll try to get more pictures once more track goes up. Edited December 23, 2015 by scooterdoug
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 It. Looks. So. Good. Can't wait to try it out!
jray21 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I'm really excited for this to open! It's nice to be getting some good rides in the Bay Area.
Paradox Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 It's really strange how the drop looks almost vertical from that angle, but it's no where near that in reality. The new prelift is definitely better than the flat turns that were there before.
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Looks fantastic! I'm enjoying the colors more than I thought I would. It's great to see another RMC that isn't red.
rolercstrluvr Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Looks fantastic! I'm enjoying the colors more than I thought I would. It's great to see another RMC that isn't red. I agree, the colors go well with the wood color. Makes it pop more
Andrewoplis Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Wow, that first drop looks even better than the animation! Can't wait to get on this thing next year!
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Dang I wish I could have made it on Tuesday. Still time left for one more trip in 2015 though! That drop looks stunning. I was skeptical of it when I saw the animation but it looks far more awesome now that it's up! Gonna have some sweet airtime on that
dannyboy13 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 So for the last 3 years my son and I have gone to the park for New Year's Eve. They do fireworks at midnight and close right after. This year though, the website lists a close time of 8 pm. Can anyone confirm that this is true and there will be no NYE event?

This year though, the website lists a close time of 8 pm. Can anyone confirm that this is true and there will be no NYE event? I noticed the same thing too! I was wondering about it. I don't think the website would lie about the hours but why wouldn't they do a NYE event this year? EDIT: The most recent newsletter doesn't say anything about it either and I think they'd probably mention it if they were staying open until midnight and having fireworks.
dannyboy13 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I ended up calling in to ask about it... They are indeed closing at 8 tonight. The reason I was given was that they didn't want to do fireworks with the drought. Seemed like some BS since its pretty wet right now and was much drier last year. I was probably not the first to complain either, as the woman I was speaking to almost immediately instructed me on the complaint process. Pretty bummed about this as it was getting to be a tradition for my son and I.
