EC! Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Its better then the very long straight piece of wooden track used on Colossus like before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Trains for twisted Colossus revealed! Plus Six flags have confirmed that the area will be steampunk themed to go with the trains and the ride as well. Also supposedly they are repainting Scream so it fits more into the steampunk vibe which should be interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Is scream the car park coaster? Yes, unashamedly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yes, unashamedly so. Ah, well maybe they will find time to paint over the white lines if they repaint the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Scream is actually a pretty good Floorless coaster. Definitely agree about the new trains, they would look better as they were, and stuck on a gerstlaurer Bobsled, or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The trains look loverly The track colours looks lush. Not sure about that strange banked bit of track though, doesn't really look right tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The trains I understand and the theme is cool but the track colours are just odd and dont fit the theme at all. Also the fact that such a cool theme idea wont be done to the standard it requires is a little dissapointing. Oh air how I wish you were steam punk.

Magic Mountain is hardly renowned for its theming quality. Whatever they do with twisted Colossus, it will be window dressing more then a coherent storyline. Expect the ride to do the talking and not a vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I am aware of this. It would be nice if they did spend a bit more on themeing from time to time. Especially if that theme is steam punk. I would prefer all out themeing or none and I feel this would suit none better than what it is going to get. The lack of effort ruins the ride somewhat, when they should have just spent the money on making it generic like cedar fair parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 It is pretty much generic though, styled with some gladitorial-esque look... Kinda the level expected from a Six Flags park... Style over substance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any theming Six Flags add is more effort then usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Scream! is getting a repaint to Blue Track and Corange supports! And on the note of Twisted Colossus... The blue to green transistion before the second lift hil has started going up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Six flags recognise the importance to keep their rides covered in a good coat of paint to prevent rusting. More expensive short term but will get a few more years out of the rides in the long term. Where as merlin only seem to focus on short term costs. I'm still not convinced on the RMC treatment but this ride does look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oblivion was repainted to make the 'new' area for The Smiler look fresh. Scream is being repainted to make the 'new' area for Twisted Colossus look fresh. Yeah Six Flags truly know how to maintain their rides.
