Six Flags Magic Mountain unveiled its newest roller coaster, “Terminator Salvation: The Ride.” The attraction opened to the public on May 23, combining thrill technology with the signature science fiction punch of the Terminator Salvation brand. The newest addition to the park’s coaster collection coincides with the release of the McG directed film, “Terminator Salvation,” and introduces fans to an entirely new universe inspired by the film’s post-apocalyptic setting. Developed by the same team that produced last year’s new X2 experience, “Terminator Salvation: The Ride” will feature synchronized on-board audio, a loading station “fly-thru,” two tunnels and fire and fog special effects. There is also a pre-show featuring stars Common and Moon Bloodgood that was produced exclusively for the ride and shot by the director of photography for “Terminator Salvation,” Shane Hurlbut.
The $10 million coaster, engineered exclusively for the Valencia theme park by Great Coasters International Inc., “Terminator Salvation: The Ride” will feature Millennium Flyer coaster trains that 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 Salvation” is the fourth installment in the series and stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common and Helena Bonham Carter.
