Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
I know I am getting so stoked for this ride. I can't wait for the free fall sensation. And the view will be ridiculous. :DD
Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
I think everything about the ride will be ridiculous. The height, speed, sensation - it will be totally over the top.

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
I 100% agree with you Tom everything about Lex Luther will be completely over the top. I have dreamed since the ride was first installed at SFMM for the cars to be turned around and some kind of free fall down the side of the tower and this dream has come true. The only thing is I think Lex Luther for me will remain only ridden in my dreams/nightmares lol, not sure yet still building my courage up for this one in real life.
Anyways SFMM has a Lex Luther construction page now http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/rides/LexLuthorDropOfDoomConstruction.aspx#

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
Thanks for sharing the SFMM pics Robert. This is the first ride I know of that has used a helicopter in the construction. I guess it's cheaper than bringing in a 500 foot crane, and suspect they are working on the top and bottom first, and fill the rest of the ride from the top of the tower. Has SFMM said how much this ride will cost?

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
I don't know if it's something I've made up in my head or did I read somewhere that it was costing between 5 and 7 million dollars to add Lex Luther. I'll have to do some research to confirm this.

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
Well that's a great value <$10 million for a world record ride.

Great pic Chris. Where did you find it? Would love to see a close up of the clamps.

^ My friend Edward went to the park yesterday, sending me this pic as a "birthday gift" (since it's today), but he may send me more pics to share!

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
That's a really good video Chris, thanks for posting it. If you use the "post reply" button instead of the "quick reply' you can imbed the video into the thread, which is what I did below.

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
Thanks for sharing that link with us. By the way are any of our members going to be heading out there to check up on construction?

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
Walt I can not make any promises (my life is out of control right now ) but hopefully I will be able to make it up to SFMM soon and grab an update for ALT. They seam to be moving pretty fast now on LLDOD so hopefully one of us Cali peeps can get up there soon to grab an update for the site.

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
Here's another pic courtesy of The Coaster Guy
Track has been added to both sides of one side of the tower, they are wasting no time on this thing. Also is it just me or just seeing the track on the side of S:EFK like that just make it more real on how terrifying this thing is going to be

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
It's not you, I feel the same way on how fast this is progressing. Thank you very much for the pics - and this certainly is going to be a terrifying ride. What's the progress on the other side?

Re: Lex Luthor Drop of Doom
Far as I know Tom the other side still only has one side of the track installed, but I have no idea what time of day this pic was taken so it could have had a piece or two installed since this pic was taken.
