Sieht zwar interessant aus, aber ich finde Terminator und Woodie passt nicht zusammen...

Terminator ist lautlich mit "Termiten" verwandt. Und das passt ja wieder.

Scheint ein recht bodennahes, getwistetes Layout zu werden. Fährt sich sicherlich ganz nett.

Und bezüglich des Namens: Die sind doch eh nur Schall und Rauch

Nachdem das Video dazu nur im Neuheiten Thread zu finden ist, poste ich den Link hier auch nochmal:

Hier ist auch noch der Link zur rcdb:

Ich finde den Namen für einen Woody unpassend,Six Flags sind wohl die Ideen ausgegangen.
Das Layout ist gelungen nur die durchfahrt durch den Bahnhof wird wieder auf die Ohren gehen
*an Troy denk*

*Bei Rollercoaster Tycoon ausprobier*
Also Grau gestrichene Stützen beim Woodie würden schon wieder ziemlich "Terminator" - mäßig aussehen ... vielleicht darf man auf die Farbgebung gespannt sein

January 17th, 2009 Update!

So I get a call from GCI yesterday "Terminator has gone VERTICAL! Go get pics!" And of course since I always do what I'm told, I now bring you a new Terminator construction update! Yes, the ride is now vertical! YAY!!! I'm told that about 70 bents will be in place by Monday and a lot of progress is going to happen very quickly.

Here are the photos from today:

"Please excuse our mess - the Governator will be arriving soon!"


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_02.jpg

Ahh, looks like one of the older structures at the park, the shooting gallery, has been removed to make way for...OMG...what is that I see?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_03.jpg

YES! Terminator has gone VERTICAL!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_04.jpg

Makes you wonder if these structures may not be around much longer now that we know a Cold Stone is going in at the front of the park and there has been the hint of new bathrooms on the horizon.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_05.jpg

This view will once again have a wooden structure behind it soon!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_06.jpg

Bents started going up on Friday, and here is what has been done so far.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_07.jpg

As you can see, it's Saturday, and bents are still being put up.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_08.jpg

They put this one in place while I was here taking pictures.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_09.jpg

Ahh, those little blocks of wood make great merchandise! Just stamp the Terminator logo on it and you've got something that every coaster enthusiast will buy just like Holiday World and other parks do! (hint, hint) One man's left over wood is a gold mine to coaster geeks!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_10.jpg

Internet world, meet Mr. Small Crane...hopefully we'll see his cousin Mr. Big Crane in some future updates.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_11.jpg

Another shot of the OMG VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_12.jpg

These guys are just waiting their turn.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_13.jpg

More Popsicle sticks.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_14.jpg

Yup, the back area of the park is looking wooden again!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_15.jpg

And now...all the photos you just saw...but from the SKY TOWER!! Oooooh...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_16.jpg

Hmm...bents being prepared to go up, or alien spaceship landing spot...you decide!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_17.jpg

That's a LOT of popsicle sticks!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_18.jpg

I like how it just looks like a "pile of bents" just thrown there! LOL! (We see you nice and newly painted Deja Vu!)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_19.jpg

Here's a nice overview of the vertical construction, the alien landing pad, newly painted Deja Vu, the pile 'o bents, and lots of popsicle sticks.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_20.jpg

GRRR!!! A spaceship had landed and taken off and we *just* missed it!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_21.jpg

Goodbye shooting gallery! Hopefully this area will eventually be the new entrance to the Terminator ride. I think that would be awesome!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_22.jpg

You can really see how much room is already opened up and how much more room could be created if the other two buildings came down.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_23.jpg

Hmm...eventually cables there?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_24.jpg

Another overview. As you can see the ride is going to be BIG!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_25.jpg

And finally, one last look at the progress. I have a feeling that we'll see a lot of work by next weekend!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_26.jpg

And yes, Deja Vu looks GREAT!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_27.jpg

Not much activity here.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_28.jpg

We see you Riddler's train!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_29.jpg

It's nice to see that the Sky Tower museum is still looking great!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_30.jpg

If you know what coaster this is and where it currently is operating, email Dan the answer! mrt0ad13@aol.com


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_31.jpg

We like the more flags, more fun guy, but who doesn't miss Mr. Six?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_011709_32.jpg

Still have a bit of work to do on the Q-Bot area. Looking forward to this getting done!

Today we were able to go backstage to get a bit closer to the latest progress. Here you can see the turn around from last week is nearly done!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_06.jpg

Those popsicle sticks have finally found their place in life!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_07.jpg

The ride is coming along VERY fast. That's quite a bit put up just in the past 7 days.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_08.jpg

Some close up shots for Joe.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_09.jpg

"It's the end of the ride as we know it..."


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_10.jpg

There's more there, it's just cloaked using T-2000 futuristic technology.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_11.jpg

More closeups for Joe!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_12.jpg

Getting tired of looking at the turn around? No? GOOD!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_13.jpg

Radar dish to communicate with other life forms. (Terminators need this kind of equipment)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_14.jpg

Another look at, yep, the turn around!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_15.jpg

More popsicle sticks waiting for love.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_16.jpg

Hey look! There's another section going up!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_17.jpg

Another overview of the middle section.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_18.jpg

Here is where the Shooting Gallery once stood. I'm told this will be the entrance area to the coaster.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_19.jpg

A bridge will someday be built here.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_20.jpg

Bridgey, Bridge, Bridge, Bridge, Bridge.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_21.jpg

Weather was FANTASTIC to be out taking dirt pictures today!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_22.jpg

More Dirt. More Popsicle Sticks. Cones, Cones, Cones...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_23.jpg

Mud...why did it have to be mud.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_25.jpg

Here you can see Terminator starting to sneak up over the fence.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_24.jpg

This building will soon be the new Johnny Rockets Snakes and Pies...errr...Shakes and Fries!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_24b.jpg

And the Ice Cream Shop at the front of the park will be a full service Cold Stone! (The Cold Stone at the back of the park is staying, too!)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_27.jpg

The Sky Tower offers an awesome view of the progress.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_28.jpg

There's that new little section hiding behind the freshly painted Deja Vu!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_29.jpg

Popsicle Sticky sticks.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_30.jpg

The lumber supply is getting lower and lower (and Leon's getting LARGER!!!)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_31.jpg

Looks awesome!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_32.jpg

The little section being built. It's so cute! You just want to reach out and pet it...c'mon go ahead...pet your screen! Do it! In fact, take a picture of you petting your screen and EMAIL DAN with the picture: mrt0ad13@aol.com (include your mailing address with your picture and we'll send you a TPR Bag-of-Crap!)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_33.jpg

I'm TELLING you! This whole Terminator theme is just a cover up for Goliath 2!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_34.jpg

Once this area is cleared of wood, it would make the PERFECT place for a Terminator Opening Day Campout (hint, hint!)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_35.jpg

Here's an overview of the entire site.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_36.jpg

Traffic Jam.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_37.jpg

I haven't taken an overview "park photo" in a while...so here's one! Enjoy!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_38.jpg

Arrow Fun Junction.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_01.jpg

Q-Bot area still looking like two evil faces under construction.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_02.jpg

The Yo-Yo gets a bit of love.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_03.jpg

New for 2009! Fresh Paint!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_04.jpg

It's nice to see the older rides getting some care.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_012509_38b.jpg

And finally we leave you with the Customer Service Policy. Words to live by! Until next week....

A big THANK YOU goes out to Six Flags Magic Mountain for giving us access to take these photos.

Hey! What's that peeking through the trees? I see wood!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_04.jpg

If you look real hard you can see the Terminator!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_05.jpg

Here's that turn from last week. Looks about the same.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_06.jpg

But here's a close up because it's awesome.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_07.jpg

Maxim sponsors the crane!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_08.jpg

The real work this week has been done on the "deadman turnaround" which will be near the station.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_09.jpg

This will be the second highest spot on the ride.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_10.jpg

Here's a slightly different angle of the "deadman turnaround."


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_12.jpg

Wow! The animatronics are looking AWESOME!!! =)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_13.jpg

This part of the ride will be connected to the first drop.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_14.jpg

And yes, Terminator is now changing the back of the park!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_15.jpg

Ahh, once again a woodie takes over the back corner of the park!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_16.jpg

"Hello! How are you doing?"


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_17.jpg

Just in case you didn't get enough photos of the Deadman Turnaround, here's another one!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_18.jpg

OMG! Zoom in on that wood!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_19.jpg

Another close up for you all.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_20.jpg

I'm telling you, those little blocks will make GREAT merchandise!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_21.jpg

And now you can see how Terminator is changing the skyline!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_22.jpg

Hey, what is that I see?!?!?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_23.jpg

Thanks to Magic Mountain's 75% off sale, KidTums scores a $12 giant Domo-Kun!!!

Hey everyone, don't forget about Thomas.

DOMO-KUN! ATTACK!!!

"One of these things is not like the other...one of these things does not belong..."


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_27.jpg

We would have ridden this stump, but it was closed for maintenance.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_28.jpg

The Frog Hopper was next on the agenda...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_29.jpg

..and as you can see it's KidTums APPROVED!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_30.jpg

Canyon Blaster has recently changed it's height restriction, which is fine as these things happen, but parents please take note....


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_31.jpg

...because there is no sign out front to tell you this and the first time you see a height restriction sign is AFTER you've already waited in line! Hopefully this will get addressed soon.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_31b.jpg

At the park entrance, if you need your exercise, follow this sign to Batman The Ride, if you want to get to the coaster quicker, go the opposite way! =)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_020109_32.jpg

Yay! Terminator banners have started to appear! Looking forward to riding it this May!

Looks like this turn is fairly complete and ready for some track!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_01.jpg

Here you can see the dead man turn...not too many Popsicle sticks left laying around now!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_02.jpg

Remember when that whole back area was filled with Popsicle sticks just a few short weeks ago?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_31.jpg

Mr. Big Crane is lifting another bent into place.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_32.jpg

It's cool to see how they are working on two sections of the ride at once!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_33.jpg

I see some steel has been put into place for some of the cross overs.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_34.jpg

How about a nice closeup of that overpass?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_35.jpg

Another look at the Dead Mans Party Turn, Deja Vu featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff and some fresh paint, and a little cameo by Mr. Big Crane.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_37.jpg

You're looking at the future Terminator Salvation: The Ride entrance! I like the little make-shift bridge they've got going on!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_09.jpg

From the midway, Terminator is really taking shape!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_10.jpg

Each week the wood seems to get more and more dense.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_11.jpg

Terminator only went vertical just under 1 month ago and look how much is already done!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_12.jpg

Cyberdyne Systems crew is inspecting the ride.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_14.jpg

There's that new brand spanking new bent going into place!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_15.jpg

I have a feeling there will be a pop of airtime here!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_17.jpg

The Dead Mans Party turn almost looks bigger than Deja Vu! =)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_18.jpg

Looks like that alien transmitter has been covered in wood! Those Cyberdyne drones know how to disguise themselves!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_19.jpg

Two giant curves!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_21.jpg

Even on a Sunday these guys are still going at it.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_22.jpg

Terminator Salvation: The Ride, a yellow thing, a red thing, and a silver box.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_23.jpg

This area is going to look so much better with a GOOD woodie behind it!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_24.jpg

Mr. Small Crane is still hanging around.

But Mr. Big Crane is the center of attention today!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_021509_29.jpg

I really, REALLY hope they get rid of the "Cyclone Bay" signs!!! Anyway, that's today's update! Hope you've enjoyed it. We will have more next week!

February 21st Update!

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.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_022109_10.jpg

These two sections keep looking better and better.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_022109_11.jpg

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.

Popsicle Sticky Sticks.

The new entrance area from the Sky Tower.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_022109_18.jpg

Across from the Deja Vu entrance is the new Johnny Rockets Snakes & Pies! Sorry, I mean Shakes and Fries.

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.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_022109_48.jpg

We also got a sneak peek inside the new Cold Stone at the front of the park.

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.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_04.jpg

You can see a lot of REALLY BIG popsicle sticks stitting out there. Lift Hill perhaps?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_05.jpg

More popsicle sticks. The supply is certainly getting depleted. They need to send out more decepticons to collect energon in order to create more.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_06.jpg

This area still looks about the same.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_07.jpg

Not much has changed here.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_09.jpg

From the fround level it looks very similar to last week.

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.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_19_c.jpg

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

Wow! Looks like the new Flash Pass center is almost ready to open!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_030109_21.jpg

Here you can get an idea of what rides will be available (the ride list can change day-to-day though)

April 12th Update!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_01.jpg

From here you can see what looks like a nearly complete woodie!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_02.jpg

Deja Vu and his new pal, Terminator!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_03.jpg

White truck spotting!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_04.jpg

h, the bridge is getting close to completion...there's also a lot of black poles that have been installed.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_05.jpg

White truck, new concrete, and black poles!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_06.jpg

The backside of curves.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_07.jpg

I like the bridge, but I can't help to think it's a bit narrow.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_08.jpg

The nail smacking people are hard at work!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_09.jpg

Today we heard a lot of nail smacking going on.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_10.jpg

Looks like the lift hill is nearly complete.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_11.jpg

Some dudes working up there on the super secret platform where the chain wheel thingy will go.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_12.jpg

Oooh! Nail smacking action CAUGHT ON FILM! You can see the guy on the left is MID SMACK!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_14.jpg

There is track laid down everywhere!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_17.jpg

C'mon guys! Finish that lift! I want to ride this thing!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_041109_18.jpg

This has to be the most dense GCI ever built!

May 3rd - Terminator Salvation: The Ride UPDATE!

Hey everyone! We are back from our trans Atlantic cruise, so that means more Terminator updates for all of you!

There has been a TON of progress in the past couple of weeks! Check it out below, but you'll see the station fly-by, transfer track area, lots of buildings being framed (I'm assuming pre-show buildings), what looks like the first pieces of area theming on site, and the entrance SIGN!

And something very interesting appears to be happening on the ride...but read the update below to find out! (Oh, and be sure to try to answer the Email Dan question!)

Enjoy....


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_35.jpg

Oooh! We have SIGN!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_20.jpg

Here is today's cyber-cam shot. As you can see the ride is almost done!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com SFMM%20Pics%201%20034%20(Custom).jpg

Quite a difference a few bulldozers, new wood and a couple of years make, huh? =)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_21.jpg

Work is being done on the station (to the left) and the transfer track area (to the right)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_22.jpg

You can already see some queue is getting set up, and hmm...what is that I see...let's take a closer look...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_22b.jpg

Could this be...theming???


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_23.jpg

Have a look at the sign and the bridge.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_26.jpg

Zoom out just a little and you can see something being built just on the other site of the bridge. What could that be?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_25.jpg

Another look at the current construction. Lots of framework going up. I wonder what those could be for? Pre-show buildings? On-ride photos?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_27.jpg

A slightly more zoomed out shot of the entire ride.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_28.jpg

Not much wood left over now!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_29.jpg

A few random popsicle sticks laying around.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_30.jpg

Hmm...two of those things do not belong...let's take a closer look...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_30b.jpg

I wonder what those beat up cars are for? =)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_31.jpg

Oh, they must be for Goliath! My bad!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_34.jpg

Here's another look at the entrance area. Let's check out another angle!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_32.jpg

Oooh! Peek-A-Boo! What's this I see? I spy TWO TPR members in this picture! Do you know who they are? If you know, EMAIL DAN! mrt0ad13@aol.com The first 10 people with the correct answer will get a TPR Bag-Of-Crap!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_19.jpg

Winner every time!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_39.jpg

Hmm...looks like another building getting renovated? (Or even demolished?) Maybe this will be Terminator Salvation: The Shop!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_37.jpg

With all this goodness going on, in the "disappointing" category, the restrooms by the ride opened back up, and while some work was done (new stall doors, etc) they didn't look that much better than before. There wasn't even a baby changing station! C'mon, SFMM, if you're going to be "family friendly" you should be adding the things that families need that you'll find at other parks!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_02.jpg

And from the other side of the bridge you can see some more work being done.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_01.jpg

Up, it's a bridge.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_03.jpg

Wonder what that shed will eventually be?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_04.jpg

Ahh, this is still one of the prettiest shots you can get!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_05.jpg

h! Station fly-by! Yay!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_06.jpg

Random track.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_08.jpg

More station fly-by.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_09.jpg

Well, this is interesting..


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_12.jpg

Are they tunneling in that turn around?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_13.jpg

Sort of looks like it! So maybe THIS is what happened to those X2 tunnels!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_11.jpg

GCI Station Fly-by = AWESOME!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_14.jpg

Another look at the very DENSE first drop!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_15.jpg

Want another station fly-by pic? Ok!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_16.jpg

My doctor told me that I need to have at least three random track pictures per Terminator Salvation: The Ride update.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_17.jpg

Very interesting...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_18.jpg

More random track!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_050309_36.jpg

And one more look at the entrance...that's right Terminator Salvation: The Ride...it won't be long now! See you in a few weeks!

Thanks for reading!

May 10th Terminator Update


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_01.jpg

Here is today's overview shot. As you can see a lot of work on the station, the transfer track, the pre-show buildings, and the entrance.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_02.jpg

Mr. Big Crane is back in action!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_03.jpg

Not much wood yet. There are some trains down there, but you can't see them because the ride is blocking the view!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_04.jpg

Here's where a lot of this week's work has been done. Lots of work on the station, transfer, and show buildings.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_05.jpg

The ride entrance has gotten some love. Looks like they are going to funnel people through the shop as you exit.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_07.jpg

Here you can see the proximity from Psyclone's old entrance and Terminator's new entrance.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_08.jpg

Queue areas got some shade and some barrels have been added.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_09.jpg

You can see the beginnings of a tunnel that will come right after the station fly through. Maybe we'll see some effects in there? Fog? Lighting? Let's hope so!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_10.jpg

Lots of people are on hand today to get this thing done!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_11.jpg

Looks like lockers going in just on the other side of the bridge? That's my guess anyway.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_12.jpg

What could that strange tall box be for? Onride camera? Handicap elevator? Terminator homing device?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_13.jpg

KidTums says "Yay! Now I can ride a B&M floorless!"


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_14.jpg

Back on ground view now...this looks about the same...


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_15.jpg

Although a new backstage door has been put in.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_16.jpg

Gee, it's really good that I didn't need to change Kristen's diaper being that there isn't a changing area in this "renovated" bathroom. C'mon Magic Mountain, couldn't you have sprung for the $180.25 Dollars that it would have cost to add this? "Renovated Bathroom" = FAIL!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_17.jpg

I see some new barbed wire has gone up at the ride entrance.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_18.jpg

Yup, there it is in all it's glory.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_19.jpg

Here's what the bridge looks like!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_20.jpg

And OMG! Bridge from ANOTHER ANGLE!!!! OMG!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_21.jpg

This beam has had poop smeared on it!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_22.jpg

Mr. Blue Cherry Picker was hard at work today.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_23.jpg

For those of you with a cherry picker fetish, this photo's for you!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_25.jpg

Station fly by FOR THE FREAKIN' WIN!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_26.jpg

OMG! Yes....YES!!! It's in station fly by from...ANOTHER ANGLE!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_27.jpg

I spy Millennium Flyers!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_28.jpg

Trainy, Train. Train. Train...Train....


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_29.jpg

Still no progress on the tunnel. Maybe they have to wait and see if the train fits through first!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_30.jpg

New Sand Blasters name or product placement? You decide!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_051009_31.jpg

And finally, we'll end with update with KidTums playing the rings game. She won a flower! "It's a flower!"

Terminator Testing Update!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_01.jpg

Some dudes checking out all that wood.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_02.jpg

The sign peeking over the wall.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_03.jpg

Yup, this all looks about the same.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_04.jpg

This shot is 900% better with lens flare.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_08.jpg

The station is sponsered by Tyvek.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_09.jpg

I spy dudes with orange hats!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_10.jpg

OMG! What is that?!?!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_11.jpg

YES!!! IT IS ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_12.jpg

Speakers. So Christian Bale can yell at the riders.


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_13.jpg

Ok, ok, enough of the lift hill all ready! Go over the top!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_14.jpg

WHEEEEE!!!!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_15.jpg

DOUBLE WHEEEEE!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_16.jpg

BLURRY WHEEEEE!!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_17.jpg

MEGA SUPER JAPANESE BLURRY WHEEE!!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_18.jpg

And it's time for a little bit of station fly-by!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_19.jpg

Hey, what's that big box doing following the train?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_20.jpg

Those aren't water dummies....they are TERMINATORS!!!!


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_21.jpg

Darkness falls and I count 11 cars. (plus one giant box!)


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_22.jpg

Somewhere in that madness is a train...can you spot the train?


Quelle: themeparkreview.com terminator_testing_23.jpg

This is what it looks like when the Terminators travel through time.

The next update will be from MEDIA DAY!!!

Thanks, for all these nice updates!
