Oct. 23rd, 2008 -- Six Flags Magic Mountain announced Terminator: The Coaster.

The Great Coasters International woodie is opening in 2009. It willl feature five hills and six banked turns, a loading station fly-through and on-board entertainment over 2,850 feet.

The park's Web site does not specify the on-board entertainment.

A short animation of some of the ride is available on the Web site.

The coaster, themed to the "Terminator" movie series, will sit on the land where Psyclone sat. Psyclone was torn down in early 2007.

"Terminator: The Coaster"...the words that come to mind are: "Massive. STEEL. Brushed metal. STEEL. Mega-coaster. STEEL. Blue. Silver...did I mention STEEL?" Catch my drift? You can imagine my reaction when I read it was going to be a WOODIE. Not only that, GCII is known for making coasters not much higher than 50ft tall. WTF??!!!! Okay. Fine. A woodie. So be it...but calling it "Terminator"??????? what was Six Flags smoking during the planning meeting?
