Six Flags Magic Mountain announces new B&M floorless

Hmmm...It does sound like a mix between Medusa-E and Superman in Madrid.

-----------------
Come on Get up...Before you make, me change my mind!

Well I am glad to see it will have airtime hill(s)! I know all the press releases say that the second inversion will be a dive loop, but I just don't want to give up the idea that it will be an immelman...

About the name...

I'm not up on the series, but are the "Scream" movies a Warner Brothers property?

Potential theming / tie-in???

Later,

The ride sounds like a lot of fun, and I like it how they came up with an original name instead of the usual SF names. But seriously, "Scream!" is a pretty pathetic name.

But it still beats "Whine Whine Whine" and sounds better too.

As long as the dang thing works I'll be happy!

When they say Viper is the tallest looping coaster it means no loop on a coaster is that high up.

Then shouldn't they have said that Viper has the tallest loop, not that its the tallest looping coaster? Maybe that's what they meant, but, geez.

If its similar to Medusa east and S:TR than if will be hot. I don't know why some people complaining with all the coasters that yall have you shouldn't. I think the name goes well with the colors if you look at it when its assembled it would seem to fit better.

Sounds like a bigger...faster...taller...B:DK doesnt it?

Im the #1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!!These are my top 3 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Cyclone/B:TDK

Just because it's been a terrible day with the students today, I wanted to vent

I like the quote by Paul Reuben (spelling) that says that the Mt has every type of coaster out there. Really? When did they install an Intamin Rocket Coaster? I also like the S:TE comment that it's the only ride to go 100. Oh well, January is only a few weeks away ;)

I loved how Del Holland called the floorless "SFMM's missing link." If the link is no longer missing, the chain is complete, is it not?

If it is a clone of Medusa east, then all of you near MM shouldnt be complaining, because it will be a great ride. Anyways, it will help take some of the crowd away from all the other great coasters.

I wonder if Paul Reuben gets paid to make statements like that. I'm not implying anything at all, seriously, I just wonder if they imberse him, or if getting his mag mentioned is payment enough.

Only an enthusiast who obsesses over stats, records and the such would even remotely care. It's irrelevant.

This is what Cedar Point gets for trying to keep all of us talking about the new mystery coaster. They have their coaster nearly complete and Six Flags trumps them by merely announcing that they are breaking their own "World Record" for number of roller coasters. We in the coaster lovers community understand that Six Flags Magic Mountain gets to the 16 coaster number with some rides that rarely coast, Deja Vue, or that are horrible coasters, Flashback. Cedar Point could have beaten SFMM to the punch if they had just announced the ride a month ago. Now they will be seen by the GP as having to catch up with SFMM.

-----------------
What have you gotten me into?

Not really because the GP doesn't give a crap. It's a coaster and it's new. SFMM could say it is the only floorless coaster in the world and some people would believe them.

Lord Gonchar - there's a difference between playing semantics, which all parks' marketing departments obviously do, and just flat out getting it wrong. I don't think that falsehoods (subjective opinion, I know) really have a place in an official press release, and this is the most blatantly incorrect press release from a major park I have seen in recent memory.

If I a read an official document from Wal-Mart that says I can get a Coke for 98 cents, but its really 99, its not a big deal, but its still wrong on the official document. I'm not being an enthusiass here, I'm just calling 'em like I see 'em.

yeah, it sounds just like Medusa east to me...as for stats, yeah im not really all that bugged....i mean the GP certainly doesnt care...although that article was littered with exaggerations, lol:) but, regardless, this will most certainly be an excellent addition to SFMM's lineup....anything that is like Medusa East is going to be beautiful!!!

MikeMir, B:KF at SFWoA is, i believe, 162 feet, which would put it about 12 feet taller than "Scream!" and has a MUCH different layout than "Scream!" or the Medusa's...

and Mike, SFMM is not really a destination park like the Point is....outside of Cali, there are probably VERY few people outside the enthusiast community that would make a long distance trip to SFMM....so the public probably wont be all that upset about CP waiting to announce their attraction, given that they are 2000 miles apart. it doesnt make a difference as to what park announces their ride first, both coasters are going to be built and opened regardless of what "we as enthusiasts" think ;)

Tim....who, in the back of his mind, agrees with a statement I overheard from a friend who is a CP homer.."ya know, CP's newest coaster is probably one huge middle finger, pointed right straight at SFMM"....haha, remember that Rob? :)
