SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Tower

Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Good to see some serious progress being made on this. Hopefully it will be ready for testing very soon.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

That tracks well hidden. Look from a distance and I wouldn't know it was there.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Does anyone have any idea on an opening date for this yet? Their website just says "Summer 2012".

If it's any later than 7th July, I may just have to kill somebody...

July 8th lol :)

Am sure I read June on screamscape a few weeks back.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

It's Tragic Mountain.
When it opens, it'll have a 6 hour line.

Good luck with that.

(My ex-wife waited for Goliath on opening day for 6 or 8 hours, and was almost in the station at 2am when it broke down and they kicked everyone out of the park. When we went back and waited another 2 hours, she was understandably disappointed.)
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Yeah, that's why it will probably just be a next season thing for me.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

The SFMM facebook posted pictures of the left side having its car on the side. Yeah, not going near this ever.

^ Because obviously you're too lazy to do it ;) ;

Red & Green should never be seen. UGH..
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Oh. Hell. No.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Wonder if it will be worth riding...
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

As far as ride experience, we all kind of know how it's going to feel. But the extra 100ft or so (that's more than what a lot of us would be used to) height, will certainly make a big difference. Ok, I can kind of see the problems they're going to face with throughput now too. This is going to need to have a pretty nippy ascent to be able to counteract the sheer amount of people that are gonna want to ride it.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

I couldn't get the pictures to post, it was being stupid. So I gave up and figured someone would do it for me, thanks Lofty.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Oh, and it has Skyrush style overhead lapbars, so not only is it the tallest and fastest drop tower in the world but it's also the only one I can think of besides some really small ones (less than 50ft) that has lap bars. I'm **** bricks just thinking about it.

The pic is from TPR.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

I'd give it a ride. Hopefully it'll have good reviews.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

I just want to feel that 5+ seconds of airtime.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Honestly, I feel like this is the first time I've REALLY wanted to get to SFMM. This thing just looks like the epitome of drop towers. Ridiculous.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

Screw that... I hate drop towers.
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

It'll be scary, just like most other drop towers. But from what I've experienced so far, the smaller the tower, the better (I'm looking at Venom <3).
 
Re: SF Magic Mountain |"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom"| Drop Towe

The colour scheme makes me weep.

Still, it has the amazing new restraints <3
