With Scream, they should just build a warehouse around it and turn it into the ultimate dark ride indoor coaster.... That way you can't see the parking lot.

Pretty good idea actually!

Almost there....

If the speed is right, the airtime on the tophat will be lush.
 
Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc

Lol at the brakes on the pullout. Obviously, it's necessary considering the space they have to work with, but they're just asking for enthusiasts to bitch about it.
 
Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc

Lets hope those breaks don't extend even further up the drop...as in before the pull out. That may(most likely will) ruin the entire top hat.
 
Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc

I thought they started about halfway back down. I mean, you can clearly see another set of brakes going towards the top

I quite like the theme song - nothing like good, clean 80s rock.

Is this the last bit of track to be installed?

As of Sunday they still had the rest of the loophat, the transfer, the turn into the station, the station itself and the launch. So aside from the loophat its all flat and on flat ground so it shouldn't take more than a day to put up. That said I believe that the tunnel still doesn't have the LSMs installed.
 
Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc

IMO the biggest issue for this very short coaster is the MCBR in the middle. It wouldn't be so bad if the second/third launch was just a 'boost', to help it get over the loop. But as the train comes to a complete stop, it splits the coaster in two, and there's very little going on either side of that MCBR.

The loop/top hat is all finished!

Looks kinda cool, if a little weird lol!
 
Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc

Love it. The bit that looks a tad strange is the change from the thick track spine, to the thin, then back to think in the space of like 3-4m at 90° of the loop. Still love it.
 
Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc

^^ But not high enough to be a threat to possible airtime. Remember, Sky rocket has the holding brake before the vertical drop and you still get airtime on that.

That final hill will be incredible.
