Yes we definitely should do a California trip. Another coaster that has really caught my interest lately is Flight Deck (Top Gun) at California's Great America. The corkscrew with the lower exit and immediate helix looks insane!

^ true. I was just waiting for CF to move it to Kings Island, but I suppose that is no longer in the cards.

CGA is like the 7th best park in the area though isn't it? Knotts, has to be the 2nd option after SFMM.

Disneyland pwns all.
Then Knott's.

Nope, Tatsu is the THE RIDE!

I love me some Revolution and Ninja, but IMO Tatsus is the best B&M of all time!

I think we need a Vegas/SFMM trip Shoe... 2014 perhaps? lol

AV- I'm guessing I would end up liking tatsu more. X just looks so impressive. Oh but wait you were talking about ninja, and revolution... am I close?

dkny6363 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 28, 2011, 01:12:57 AM »

^ Wow just had my mind blown by something!

You said tatsu was your fav b&m.. I tried to picture you on Tatsu and it seemed strange. Then I thought about it. Check this out... I have riddin with/seen you on 8 coasters in total. ALL of them wooden. Never once seen you on a steel coaster.

Voyage, Raven, Legend, Phoenix, Twister, Boulder Dash, Wildcat, and Wooden Warrior. All pretty awesome (minus wildcat).

First steel likely Behemoth/Leviathan/Vortex... Or possibly Viper at Darien, Dragon Mt, or Steel Dragon at Waldemeer.

zoomerang was the best chance so far of it happening, or holidog bone trail or whatever it's called. lol

I've been on both Manta and Tatsu and I have to agree. Tatsu was amazing mostly because of the setting and I thought it was one of, if not the best of the sfmm big coasters.

AV Matt · « **Reply #31 on:** October 29, 2011, 03:22:02 AM »

The setting makes all the difference for Tatsu. Flying high above the park is amazing! So much better than I ever imagined a flyer could be!

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #32 on:** October 29, 2011, 08:37:45 PM »

I haven't been to SFMM since Tatsu was almost half way done being built. I want to wait to see if what I'm told Deja Vu's replacement is true before I fully decide. Disney's World of Color is almost enough for to just so Eff it and go.

And LOL at Holidog Bone Trail coaster.

B-mac · « **Reply #33 on:** October 29, 2011, 09:47:05 PM »

I haven't heard of any replacement rumors for DeJaVu... But Log jammer is being removed

ChuckR · « **Reply #34 on:** October 30, 2011, 06:21:00 AM »

Cars Land is more of a reason to go, it's impressive.

B-mac · « **Reply #35 on:** October 30, 2011, 11:16:54 AM »

P.S.

The Test Track-esque ride will be the most expensive ride to date. Costing nearly 200 million dollars to build.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #36 on:** October 30, 2011, 07:43:12 PM »

I've heard a few things the that area of the park (SFMM). I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

WadeJ · « **Reply #37 on:** October 30, 2011, 09:00:57 PM »

Rob, X2, supes 2.0, tatsu and terminator are all reason enough to go IMO. And with DCA becoming a must visit park in 2012, it looks like a great year to head out. Btw- I'll never say Chang is rough after riding Riddler again. Great ride but one of the roughest B&M's I've ever been on. Viper (@SFMM) was smoother.

WadeJ · « **Reply #38 on:** October 30, 2011, 09:03:21 PM »

Sorry, can't edit my posts using wap...

Yes, that REALLY sucks about log jammer. I know this is the random coaster talk thread but I had to mention how much that pisses me off. It would be no different than gadv ripping out the saw mill complex!

Rebuild it or something!

dkny6363 · « **Reply #39 on:** October 30, 2011, 09:23:28 PM »

The best part of saw mill is the view it gives you from best of the west... and best of the west is where the pulled pork resides. I love pulled pork! lol

Basing this on one visit.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #40 on:** November 01, 2011, 08:03:49 PM »

Wade, all those rides do seem like definite draws to go, and the new drop ride... but I'd hate to go there this year, and then see them announce what I'm hearing they're going to announce and kick myself over it.

Edwardo · « **Reply #41 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:14:59 PM »

I'm planning a spring SoCal visit. Personally, I like X better than MF. It's maybe 3 or 4 spots above. X is in my top ten, but it is rough. I think that one of those could be amazing if the kinks were fixed.

Still haven't done Tatsu.

Ogolo · « **Reply #42 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:50:39 PM »

Care to give a hint as to what you think SFMM is adding sometime in the future.
You do keep bringing it up. There are all those rumors of a launch coaster.

AV Matt · « **Reply #43 on:** November 02, 2011, 12:20:26 AM »

Don't listen to him. I305 was supposed to be the new Superman New England.

Millennium Force 44 · « **Reply #44 on:** November 02, 2011, 09:30:59 AM »

I think they are moving Kingda Ka to SFMM. =P

Edwardo · « **Reply #45 on:** November 02, 2011, 12:00:08 PM »

SFMM needs flats badly. The drop tower is a good start but they are in serious need of more.

I'm thinking that Leviathan will now dominate that category. I'm planning an up north tour next year to stop at SFNE,CW and CP. The highlights will probably be Goliath and of course Leviathan. I cannot put into words how pumped I am for that ride.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #47 on:** November 03, 2011, 08:41:15 AM »

Wild Eagle West!

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #48 on:** November 03, 2011, 08:44:31 AM »

I've got a feeling Leviathan will be fun, but can't picture it dominating the "speed coaster" category. It'll take a lot for top SFoG Goliath for me...

Matt, don't blame me for that mix up... You know where I got that info from

Ken, a hint... You can find something similar in Dallas and Sandusky.
(and as much as I want it to be true, Don't quote me on this yet)
