I had a freaking amazing time yesterday. Major props to Robb and Elissa for putting together a great event (my first). The night time ride operator really was awesome (although from previous sfmm trips I already knew that he loves TPR). It was really great being there from 9 in the morning to 11 at night, it allowed me to get a ton of nerd footage. So I dedicate my video from yesterday to TPR! (Pretty awesome shameless self promotion right?)
^ Great video and footage, you've got some awesome angles there. My favorite was the sunset shot of Tatsu at 2:26. Makes me wish it was yesterday again! _________________ -AustinMyspace / Facebook / Twitter

The goal of Termination Day was to let people get their fill of rides in on the brand new Termination Salvation: The Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
And get their fill they did! With morning and night ERT combined some people got as many as 35 rides in!
I'd say most people got between 10 and 15, but if you were a crazy die-hard Terminator fan, you could get quite a few more!
The ride was running AWESOME! It seems to have really broken in quite a bit since the opening. And night rides. OMFG. INSANE!!!
I'll let the photos to most of the talking but overall it was a PERFECT event. (And I know I'm biased, but still!)
ps. If you want one of those awesome Take the Tunnel shirts, order them HERE!

Good morning everyone! And welcome to your Salvation! We limited the tickets for Termination Day to 200 participants as we didn't want the ERT line to be very long...and it wasn't!

And we leave you with the final explosion of the night to end this report!
Thank you to everyone at Six Flags Magic Mountain for another AWESOME TPR event!!!
Thank you to Dan and Jeff for the use of your photos!
This is my favorite caption of all time. I actually LOL'd.
Glad to see the ride still looks awesome. I like that the front of the train looks better with the 'Trans Rail' theming, and I'm glad to read that it's hauling at night. I can't wait to ride in August on the West Coast Trip.
Side note - your mansion is HUGE! It looks like you even have a rock wall in there.
Whoa!! Looks like you all had a great time Robb. I really need to get over to california to experience "Salvation" for myself. lol

Yay I'm in 2 of the pictures!!! Thanks for the comments about my video, and thanks Robb for making the video appear in my post (whenever I try it never works). I say we vote Mike ride op of the year!
Edit: does anyone else see the ghosts in the "war zone" picture?
