SFMM Architectural Coaster Drawings Spotted

Hey Did the woodie have a loop? What if the one that looks loke X is a flying? That would be sweet! Another possibility is that it is a floorless. That would basically make every coaster ever invented, so far, be @ Six Flags Magic Mountian.

Listen, even if those drawings were for a coaster, it could be for in 3 years!! MF was known about in '97, and next years coaster was probably started in planning before MF even opened.

I was thinking the same thing scanz, the funny thing is he did it more than once.

Anyhow about SFMM on that creation of a coaster show on Discovery Channel it said that coasters take more than a year to build and design, if this was true im sure next years coasters for almost all parks are already in the building stage. I wouldn't be surprised.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if SFMM is making any kind of profit adding all these coasters in recent years? I mean ever since S:TE they have put in some big $$$, and even more so if they add two more coasters next year (which i doubt), but anyway, does anyon eknow if SFMM is profiting from this??

Well, I'd think they would make some sort of profit. With all those coasters in such a short time, it'd be bad news for SF if they weren't.

they dont really plan alot of coasters YEARS in advance, the idea for X happened on july 4th 2000, it was in a interview with a co-designer of X on that FUN!! website. but i'll bet that was an alternate design for X (maybe they might even re-build it to releive the problems, who knows...), and i wouldnt doubt them building a woodie, woodies arent THAT expensive (compared to other coasters that is ;) ), only like what, $8,000,000 at the most?

SFMM is pulling in tons of money for the Six Flags Corp. (sorry no exact numbers), but the company itself is still in debt....

I really hope they get another woodie, but I also want to see them get some flat rides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are so many people asking if the woodie design had a loop? Do people want to see another looping woodie? I honestly don't, it's like a concept car, it's nice to see once in your life but once it becomes mainstream, it loses it's power to invoke awe (it's awesomeness ;)). I would like something that's not a giga, hyper, looping, etc. woodie. Just a free-form, twister or out-and-back, maybe longer than Beast though, making it the longest woodie in the world!!

I doubt it was a redesign for X. They say they are having problems with the drop. I doubt the same drop would be used in another version if they are having problems with it. Rumor has it that you pull 7 G's down it. OUCH! It was a very long out-and-back design, not even similar to X, except for the drop design. I was looking at some MF pictures today and the third hill resembles the second hill on the drawings I saw. It could be an Intamin, but you never know. I know I shouldn't have written that "2 in 2002" thing because I doubt it will happen. I think the wooden design is for 2003 and the other one for 2004 or 2005. Now I hear that the wooden coaster is supposed to be named "Tremors." I heard this from the Senior Concept Designer from Disney.

Deja Vu's first run on media day through the banner: "That's a 65mph papercut!"

OK why would a Disney person tell you or know anything about a ride at SFMM ?

Trying to make people believe you and then contradicting yourself is not good. First the coasters was 2 for 2002 now since no one really believes that, there probably for 2004 and 2005 lol

Also enough with the stupid X rumor's 7g's down the drop LMAO yeah right and next the rumor will be 100g's in the Raven turns. The problems with X is in the trains that's all that's it.

Two of the trains have been sent back to Arrow for some major re-enforcement meaning they need some better welds then they were sent with. The third train was cycling on Saturday 10/13/01 so that shows you there are no problems with the track or structure.

The trains that were sent back were getting a horrible vibration when they ran the test. The vibration got worse as they added weight to the trains, Arrow thought they could calm the vibration by adding the trims to slow the train down but that didn't work.

Once the trains where pulled off for inspection they found that the vibration was creating tiny cracks in the arms that hold the seats. So that's why the trains have been sent back, they are getting re-enforced, so that's your basic X problems.

From what I hear they are looking at Febuary opening.

Yeeee Haaawwww!

rob4420,

Care to let us know the source of your X information? Everything you state as fact regarding X and its possible problems has been passed around the net several times over without any support or evidence. Are you just repeating the rumors and speculation, or do you actually have a source or some evidence?

Well I wouldn't say the persons name b/c of of a little thing called trust. All I have to say is that it's not the dippin dots guy or lemon chill man lol.

Also I have heard that SF INC. gave SFMM the go on their plans for 2002, I don't know exactly what those plans are yet. All I have heard was the wooden coaster/flat rides rumor. The park is also going through a re-furbishment starting in November, probably nothing more then some paint clean up those type a things hopefully a few rides will be in that re-furbishment. All I can say is let's just wait and see what happens when the parks start there announcements for 2002.

I won't go deeply into this, but Rob is right about the problems with X; they are 100 percent train related.

I have also heard about the 2002 plans. A few people may be disappointed, but I am on *cloud nine*!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone else seen the Posters in the Cash Control at MM?" I would like to know if DejaVu SFMM 2001 is right about the drop like X's. (No offense to you Deja Vu). I am just wondering what SFMM is planning to suprise us with next year. I have a good idea that it will be flat rides and theming, but what about the highly rumored woodie? And all the other rumors I have heard about SFMM.

"They were rong, very rong."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks, I needed that.
