Based off the Six Flags coaster animation video, the drop looks to be super fun & intense. I call dibs on the back seat! | |

| Re: Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical! February 21st Update!  Mr. Six is BACK!!! That's right! Today's update starts with something more important than Terminator...the return of the old dancing guy and I have to say I'm glad to have him back!  Anyway, on to some Terminator photos! It's a Saturday and these guys never get a day off...it's because they are ROBOTS! Duh!  You wanted sexy curves? You got 'em!  The bottom of the structure sure looks dense! I guess it needs to be with the California earthquakes.  These two sections keep looking better and better.  More Terminators hard at work.  You can easily spot the Terminators since they all wear bright orange vests!  See!  Here you can see the new bridge that will be the rides entrance is starting to get worked on.  And another look at the future bridge.  And OMG! Another look at the future bridge!  Yeah, I know we've seen this before, but doesn't it look better closer up?  We see you Mr. First Drop getting installed!  Here's a good overview of the progress this week.  Mud...why did it have to be mud?  I think by West Coast Bash the ride will almost be done!  This Terminator update, along with the Bryan and Adam Show is brought to you by delicious, refreshing, tasty, and fizzy Coca-Cola.  OMG! SIGNATURE SHOT!!!  You can see a lot more of the first drop has gone up since last week.  Popsicle Sticky Sticks.  Hello Goliath Sign!  Don't try to hide! We see you behind Deja Vu!  The new entrance area from the Sky Tower.  Across from the Deja Vu entrance is the new Johnny Rockets Snakes & Pies! Sorry, I mean Shakes and Fries.  Thrill Shot was running today!  Look! Dueling Arrows!  Rapids is still down for the count. Looks like a lot of work is being done.  The boats wait patiently to go back home.  TPR Member Sighting! Crazy4Coasters and Itnotfair. And no, they aren't the cute couple as they look like here, they just both happened to be at the park at the same time!  Jeff was also here doing his "I look older than dirt" impression.  We also got a sneak peek inside the new Cold Stone at the front of the park.  This location will have mix-ins just like all the others!  Ooooh....yummy!  "I will take Butterfingers and Reese's please!"  Wow! Her and I have something in common. Maybe I should get her number! (BTW, Hi Dino!)  Don't forget to get your 2009 Play Pass!  And if you are local to Six Flags Magic Mountain and want to check out working at the park, stop by the 2009 Job Fair!  Which one is older? See you next week! --Robb

| Re: Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical! Terminator looks like its going to be an awesome wooden coaster... Wooden coasters are fun, but still... I dont see why they need to give a wooden coaster the name of Terminator... Maybe we will never know

| Re: Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical! March 1st Update!  Today's Terminator update begins with a shot of the first drop looking pretty much complete!  Here's the signauture overview shot thanks to Mr. Sky Tower.  You can see a lot of REALLY BIG popsicle sticks stitting out there. Lift Hill perhaps?  More popsicle sticks. The supply is certainly getting depleted. They need to send out more decepticons to collect energon in order to create more.  This area still looks about the same.  Not much has changed here.  From the fround level it looks very similar to last week.  CLOSE UP VIEW!!!  Terminator Salvation: The Ride and Deja Vu are a good mix!  Fence crack view.  Pretty!  Peep hole view #1.  Peep Hole View #2  We see you Mr. Sneaky Terminator!  Today was a BEAUTIFUL day to be at the park! Here's an update from the rest of the park....  I'm kind of bummed the bridge got removed. It really seemed to add something to this area.  Does anyone know what used to be here? The first 5 people to email the answer to Dan win a TPR Bag-of-Crap! The first person to send a PICTURE to Dan of what used to be here gets a HUGE box of crap! EMAIL DAN: mrt0ad13@aol.com  Did I mention today was BEAUTIFUL???  Candy lady hard at work makes me happy!  Wow! Looks like the new Flash Pass center is almost ready to open!  Here you can get an idea of what rides will be available (the ride list can change day-to-day though)  Looks like a few more signs need to get placed.  Add X2 to your flash pass for just $5! You'll be given a reservation time in which to go to X2.  The pricing is very interesting. If these are the final prices, then the upgrade to Gold is a no-brainer!  You can get a sneak peek inside of the cash registers.  Pre-show room! "How to use your Q-Bot!"  The blah, blah, blah, part of the show...  Blah, blah, blah part deux!  Oh, look! They now have them electric buggies for people like Jeff Johnson.  ....Or...um...Robb.  Cold Stone is now open! Yay!  Today was the 2nd day of the Magic Mountain job fair! Let's have a look around...  This guy looks awfully familiar....  Where is the line for "I just want to take pictures and steal some cotton candy?"  This is where I would FAIL!  Time for my intereview!  Sylvester is hoping they will hire him.  The test seat applied for a job in valet parking.  Security is looking to hire the members of ZZ Top.  All sexy men and women apply here!  I want her job!  The news were here to cover the job fair. Sorry guys! We beat you to it! =)  Don't forget! You can ride in May!  Any idea which coaster this is?  Don't forget to buy your combo pass and meet up with TPR at Hurricane Harbor this summer!

| Re: Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical! The first drop and lift hill usually take a bit longer to put up since those areas will get the most stress on the structure. They have a few layers of the track up on some of the sections, but the final two layers usually come last. --Robb

| Re: Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical! Thanks for the awesome update! It was a VERY beautiful day in the park today. I saw you when you were going up to the top of the Sky Tower. Actually, I was in the same elevator as you going up! Anyway, thanks again for the update. |

| Re: Terminator Coaster is Going Vertical! That job fair was pretty nicely themed! If those indeed are the prices for the Flash Pass Q-bot, that's not bad at all, especially for the gold. Adding X2 for only $5 is a no brainer as well. |
