Hahahah... Well, we're sure some of our male fans will get one when they will finally be able to see the movie, but we are
not talking about that kind of a woodie ;). SixFlags has announced that it will have a special new wood rollercoaster featuring
the new movie as its name.
Six Flags Mountain to add 16th coaster to its world renowned collection
Six Flags Magic Mountain announced the addition in 2009 of a new wooden roller coaster to its world renowned coaster collection.
Developed by the same team that produced the new X2 experience, TERMINATOR®: THE COASTER will combine innovative thrill ride
technology with the signature science fiction punch of the Terminator brand. The debut is scheduled to coincide with the release
of the McG directed film Terminator SalvationTM next year, and will introduce fans to an
entirely new universe inspired by the film's post apocalyptic setting.
"Our mission at Six Flags Magic Mountain is to provide entertainment that appeals to a wide range of tastes and this specially
designed wooden coaster will be a proven winner among guests of all ages," said Jay Thomas, Six Flags Magic Mountain's Park
President. "Designed around the theme of the successful Terminator movie brand, this ride will draw thrill seekers from around
the world."
Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek, co-CEO's of The Halcyon Company, credit Six Flags with taking the ride to the next level in
adventure. "The combination of the universe created by the film and the setting of this ride will provide fans with an adventure
that keeps the spirit of the story," said Kubicek and Anderson jointly.
The $10 million coaster, engineered exclusively for the Valencia theme park by Great Coasters International Inc. (GCII), TERMINATOR®:
THE COASTER will feature a loading station "fly-thru," a state-of-the-art sight and sound package, and unique queue line and on-board
entertainment elements. The GCII-designed Millennium Flyer coaster trains will zip through five belly-flopping hills and six high
speed banked turns over 2,850 feet of track to create a ride that delivers the acrobatic thrills of a modern roller coaster while
retaining the nostalgic look and feel of a classic "woodie."
TERMINATOR®: THE COASTER will be located in the northwest corner of the park, next to Déjà Vu and is slated for a
spring 2009 opening. With the addition of TERMINATOR®: THE COASTER, Six Flags Magic Mountain will be home to 16 world class coasters.
