Six Flags Magic Mountain unveiled the latest addition to its supreme coaster dynasty today with the debut of Terminator(R) Salvation(TM):The Ride. This wooden marvel opens to the public on Saturday, May 23, combining innovative thrill technology with the signature science fiction punch of the Terminator Salvation(TM) brand. The newest addition to the park's world famous coaster collection coincides with the release of the McG directed film, Terminator(R) Salvation(TM), 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(R) Salvation(TM):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 unique pre-show featuring stars, Common and Moon Bloodgood that was produced exclusively for the ride and shot by the Director of Photography for Terminator(R) Salvation(TM), Shane Hurlbut. The $10 million coaster, engineered exclusively for the Valencia theme park by Great Coasters International Inc. (GCII), Terminator(R) Salvation(TM):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."
