Six Flags Magic Mountain tops off Full Throttle

Just look at the ending of Gatekeeper.

From everything I've heard, that mid-course brake isn't going to slow the train, and is just there for blocking purposes. Technically, the ride doesn't have 2 separate parts, and it's supposed to just act like one fluid ride from beginning to end, if that makes sense.

^That's what I heard.

New pic from Premier. This will be one heck of a sexy coaster

Wow...that's the issue people are taking with Gatekeeper's ending? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I could justify complaints about how much every one of those coaster memes suck, though. Or about the fact that there's an actual coaster memes Facebook page.

I was thinking about Full Throttle today, and how hard I was being on it. I think I have changed my mind. Today, my imagination compared it to other short launch coasters that I enjoy, like Storm Runner at Hersheypark and the now defunct Batman and Robin: Chiller at SFGAdv. Maybe we could just say that it is growing on me and leave it at that?

And yes, that turn into the inversion into the tunnel looks really pretty.

I think that maybe it has such a unique layout that I can't relate to it. I still find the backwards launch kind of irritating for some reason. I don't know why.

The reason is that the backwords launch just feels very out of place.

^It will be a nice feature in the beginning to raise anticipation, maybe. And then of course there are other possibilities for Fright Fest.
