Wooo, first time on Terminator! It goes straight to the top of my favorite woodies! horray!

Suprisingly, I rode the ride 7 times in one day, but I only got in line twice!

ImageIn the pre-show thing that is in Terminator's queue, there is a screen where you are on it! I stared at that thing until we went through to the station lol

Image
Dam those trains are cool

Me and my grandpa in line later that day...

The water rides that they have at SFMM are cool :)

OK, If you paint that much of a ride before somebody say's "Hey!, That's the wrong color you idiots!" they should be fired. Just more proof that SF can't do anything right. [lol] I bet you that was left over paint from Flashback.

Looks like ya'll are going to get the blue and yellow Batman. That looks like the light blue stuff they use as primer under the dark blue in areas where gets can scrape off the paint while in the queue.

Well if they used the same paint they did out here at SFOT, then that ride is going to have really bad vibration problems around the end of July. They are using sub-par paint that flakes, it doesn't have very good adhesion quality. Once it flakes it gets up into the trucks and causes bearing failures, and all sorts of mayhem. They would be better of painting the structure with the cheap stuff, and saving the AC grade paint and primer for the rails. To bad they are to love stupid to do that.
