Scream builds out quickly at Magic Mountain

Posted | Contributed by Matthew

Nothing stops the Scream construction workers as more and more of the course is completed. In the past week alone, the diving loop and camelback heartline was built, and the cobra roll was started.

No, but when you have people posting things like:

"I have never seen a loop sequence like that before. Can't wait to ride it!!!!!!!"
and "The sequencing/pacing looks like it will be great."

It makes you wonder if there is something new or different from its duplicate...

I still don't think this ride is a clone, or a mirrored clone. If you look at the pics, the vertical loop runs parallel to the lift hill, indicating a 180 degree twisting first drop. Medusa East's vertical loop is perpendicular to the lift, meaning a 90 degree turn during the drop.

Rob, Medusas drop is more then 90*, its more around so say 140*... Ive been on it, Kraken is 90*, not Medusa. Trust me, its mirrored with minor changes so far.

Finally, someone else sees what I'm seeing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's any less of a ride for being a clone, but this "same sequence of inversions" has been around since 1993, not to mention it being the same exact ride as Medusa built four years ago.

I'm not being an enthusiass so don't go there. I just thought all the comments were amusing, that's all. :)

I don't really give much thought about sceam. I live about a couple miles away(I'm so forinute!) I just think it doesn't break down as much a s X and Deja vu did. I hate the name alot. They need better names. I would give it dumbist name award.

OPEN FLASHBACK!

If I lived a couple of miles from Medusa East, I'd be happy as could be... I can't quite understand your lack of enthusiasm for the thing!
