SFMM 2013: Full Throttle

It looks like it will have strong G's (Especially on that very circular loop) and it's sad to see my home park not have a decent airtime machine. However, it looks fun... but I do agree that the layout is a bit weak. This will attract more guests in the park though, like how green lantern did (Even though green lantern is a piece of poop that clogs your man parts up your butt)

Honestly, I think this ride was built to be marketed well, and I can't really blame them for that in this economy (Yes, we get it very bad out in Cali seeing as our state is one of the worst if not worst states financially in the US).

Having ridden New Texas Giant, and loved it, I'm fairly confident that SFFT New remodel will be better. I will however go to opening day on this and see if it better than NTAG, because I'm sure it will be much easier to compare the two new rides.


Honestly, It looks really fun and I'm sure the G's will be pounding. I wish SFMM were getting an airtime machine, but SFMM is still (and will be even more) a great park if you love positive vertical G's (Batman, Riddler's, Scream, Revolution has great forces on the loop, Superman, X2, and of course king Goliath).




In the end, Hopefully it comes out good.

Looks like fun, though i'll go ahead and list the cons I see in it.

- World's first YOLOcoaster.
- Weak, Kingda Ka like trimmed airtime hill.
- Drop into tunnel to dead stop is akward, seems too sudden.
- Ending seems too sudden, like there should be more but there isn't.
- Capacity looks like it'll be a nightmare. The ride with any luck will have two trains though I have a sneaking suspicion that th ride will only run one train.
- They got rid of Log Jammer instead of Jet Stream for this?! Seems like they could of fit this on the other side of the mountain just as well.

If the video is accurate, the airtime hill will be trimmed starting in the middle of the pullout, meaning it won't take away from the actual airtime like you see on Kingda Ka.

AWESOME launch right into a loop. Wooh!

No park in Cali has a decent airtime machine.They have too many steelies and the wooden one are lame-except maybe the one at Knotts. Great Coaster International is all curves and so few airtime drops.Need GG,RMC or Intamin to build decent woodies.I also wish Cali get an Intamin giga steel like bizzaro or Intimdator.

If RMC redid colossus, then it could easily have air time, and from I've experienced on storm runner, Intamin top-hats have a nice pop of air on them

This is going to be a very interesting experience, however, I will admit I'm a little dissapointed. The coaster could of been longer for sure and there is SOOO much wasted energy. This had the potential to be one of the greatest roller coaster ever. SFMM should have let their imaginations go crazy on this project, but the layout is, well....poop.

Also, and most importantly, this should have been "The Flash" themed. I've been waiting for SFMM to install a Flash themed roller coaster for awile and this could've been the perfect roller coaster for it. SFMM has pretty much all of the other major DC Superhero themed roller coasters except for Flash.

Oh well, complaining aside, this is still going to be an awesome ride and SFMM is still going to be my favorite park. Plus, another roller coaster could'nt possibly hurt XD

SFMM's 2014 announcement, they build the rest of Full Throttle. As for it being Flash themed, that would have been perfect with the new Flash movie coming out next summer. Also if the loop rides anything like Dominator's then this ride will be awesome. In the mean time FLYING SNAKE DIVE FTW.

i'm STILL confused as to why anyone here would think a good, solid rollercoaster would 'need' any other theme than "good solid rollercoaster" i can certainly appreciate it, but i could care less when it comes to full sized coasters
. i understand why disney does it, their rides wouldn't even be mediocre without a theme, in fact the theme IS the reason anyone rides their rides. my feeling is that a thrill ride needs no theme other than "thrill ride" unless it lacks in the thrill department.

^This is exactly why X2 is so epic.
