Six Flags Magic Mountain Terminator Salvation: The Ride

I think if the ride never had audio in the first place, it would still be amazing, but when you're used to the audio and you don't hear it, you feel like you're missing part of the experience...stupid train 2

Hi, found this site and love it! Have spent far too much time here haha!

I have a question -- I have read that the old-west Shooting Gallery at Magic Mountain was demolished to make way for the new Terminator Coaster. Does anyone know if the arcade was saved, perhaps to be moved to a new location, or is it just gone? That would be too bad, really, if it has been totally torn down. Yeah, it's old-school cheesy amusement park stuff but I have strong sentimental memories of the arcade and I bet a lot of other people do as well. If anyone has photos of videos of the Shooting Gallery they'd post, that would be super. Thanks!

^ Shooting gallery/arcade = bye bye.

Quite honestly, shooting galleries that don't use real pellets aren't any fun anyway. Besides, there's already quite enough games at SFMM to keep anyone busy.

Well, what I miss is the "hokey factory" about the old west - saloon - gold rush town - shooting gallery. I went there for the first time back in the early 80s and have been back several times over the years.

The last time I went (last summer) was with a family who had little kids with them. One of them, a little 3-yr-old, just went ape-p@@p for the shooting gallery, for whatever reason, maybe some deprivation in his childhood, who knows... Well, he wanted to spend the entire day there watching the animated figures and stuff. Maybe it was because so much of the rest of the park was just sensory overload for his young little brain... He got scared TO DEATH of Marvin the Martian..... okay, give him a break, he was only 3!!

This family was planning to go there again this year. But when Dad found out the shooting gallery had been demolished, he felt it would be too traumatizing on little son so they went to another park instead.

hi guys,

my first post here.

I'm a big Terminator from the Netherlands, and will go to Terminator Salvation: The Ride in September. I'm really excited, as this is one of the reasons I am going to the States.

Do you have any good advices about the ride?
I want to film a lot of it, because I'd like to make a little fandocumentary about the ride for 2 terminator sites:
www.terminatorfiles.com and www.hopeofthefuture.net
Do you know if it's possible to film a lot in the attraction? I'd like to film the pre-show videos as well so I can make a short montage for the documentary about the backstory of the ride.


I also read people mentioning some special Terminator screen that's easy to miss. Can someone explain it to me? I have read the last 10 pages but can't find much about it, and I don't plan on reading the whol 280+ pages of this topic.


Any advices/ideas are welcome. I hope it will be an awesome visit and it won't disappoint me, because I'm such a big Terminator fan and coming to the USA specially for this attraction.

^The terminator screen is in the 3rd and final preshow and it's in the right hand corner by the stairs to the station.
