Six Flags Magic Mountain 2015 - Twisted Colossus

[Paradox]

Still, the ride is pretty boring as it is two sides of almost the same ride. If they made it a bit longer I think it would have been better.

Fair enough.

^^ I kinda agree, It doesn't look like an exciting layout, it turns, does a few elements, turns again in a circle basically, more elements, and repeat.
Wicked Cyclone looks much better!

Update!
The first pieces of blue track are being installed, and it looks like the right side of the Colossus station is being used as the station for the new ride, and the left side is getting demolished.

Looking good.

^ Yup!

TTD stole my thunder

I guess i deserve it, I promised an update last time I went and I didn't deliver. sorry, life got in the way

TC:
blue track is still being installed and worked on the turn after the station, and I was able to see the bunny hills start right after the turn. So thats cool. RMC was in the house and working hard lol. What a show!(not really) Green track is on site (lots of it!)
I knew the blue track has been there for awhile, but I didnt know about the green. Up close the blue looks really cool.
it kinda looks like the supports have been painted, they looked new.

Oh and TC is awsome. check out the POV of WC, its way smaller than I originally thought! Bad pacing? Come on! Do you even know what that means? RMC's are ALL well paced. I understand the length, and missed potential complaints, but come on lol!

SFMM:
The park was packed! (the park is only open on weekends, except for this random thursday)
the park was not prepared for such a crowd, I don't think anyone was prepared ( i know i wasn't)
Got on many rides thanks to the single rider system.
I also perfected my postition for a stand-up. I had 3 perfect runs. WAY better ride experience than floorless. Maybe not for the GP, but for me Stand-ups are way better. RIddlers Revenge>MANTIS>Rougarou
----> if you lift your legs at airtime moments, you float in your seat! TRY IT!
Took some good pics of Full Throttle, kinda makes you think on how hard it would be to recreate this ride (i know another forum lol)
-the close up of the train makes you think two things: "the iphone 4s shoots great pics for a 3 year old phone! Why should I upgrade?" and "theres 3 people taking video on the ride! thats 3 people to many lol.

Favorite part of the visit, i met a new friend from Germany while waiting for Tastu. Now I have a place to sleep when i go to germany. lol (serious)

Thanks for the pics man!

Cool pictures man Life should always take priority over updating everyone here so don't worry about that!

^ +1

Nicely done.

Great pics! Also, what on earth did you do to make a standup coaster bearable? Im riding GL today, and anything that would reduce headbanging would help XD

You sir, are a f***ing retard. How can you even comment the pacing? It's an animation... Bottom line, anybody that thinks Twisted ColoDamnfuck is a low quality ride is a low quality human being.

Let me explain to you a thing about Top Thrill Dragster.

[TTD03]

In my defense, TTD has a 0-120 MPH G-Force intense launch, this, has 2 chain lifts...

Why is everyone hating on this ride? It looks nicely paced from what Ive seen so far, and besides, ALL RMC's have good pacing. The dueling element plays a huge part in the ride and think about how amazing the way the track interacts with itself is! You come inches from the train beside you in like every element. Also, 4 minutes of ride time is absolutely ridiculous. Some people upload tracks here in that amount of time. You get to basically go on the ride twice and wait once! What more could you ask for?

[TTD03]

^ Guess you got a point there.

While I agree this will be a great ride, I think we should leave these types of arguments to TPR

^+1 Yeah man... everyone is entitled to their opinion here. You two have very contrasting opinions, but that is no reason to escalate it like that... this isn't TPR

If all anyone has to back up claims is insults, they obviously don't have a leg to stand on themselves and just needs to be ignored. Just sayin.

What I don't get is how they plan on loading this...

So you'll end up dueling two different trains. One will be going into the station while the other goes up the hill again. Frankly I don't see them running this as a dueling coaster much like how Busch doesn't time the loops on Loch Ness. If they are slow loading is the other train just going to sit and wait? are they going to duel and triple load trains to go out at timed intervals? The more I think about that, the more it seems like a total PPH nightmare

I dont know if its possible but I could see them utilizing both sides of the existing station and put in a switch track, this would give plenty of time to unload and load. But judging from what I've heard about SFMM thats not likely

^
I could see that happening, good idea.
It's in RMC's hands to create a useful loading system.
The ride has a high five element , so kinda HAS to be in Sync.
Just wait till you see it real life! Two trains dueling like that will be insane!
Is it not in RMC's hands?

I'm optimistic they'll make an attempt at dueling for the first two or three seasons. It shouldn't be that hard to dispatch according to a timer.

but the trains go around both sides. It's a double circuit. There is only going to be one station

EDIT: Watch the video, at around 1:30 the red train hits brakes and the purple train shoots halfway up the hill past the train on the right. they are like never going to be in snych

Duel station bro....

they don't even synch in the render bro watch it. Train hits the green side going like 30 off a 50 degree banked turn
