I'm going to disagree, the ride has a sh*t load of airtime. Yeah, El Toro is one of the best woodies in the world but then you realize it is an Intamin, which pretty much guarantees an awesome ride every time. Terminator Is a very unique ride even though they took all of the Terminator branding off of it..Still a great ride. And Colossus is starting to hurt my back now and I'm only 15.

I rode it in front first, and was very disappointed. I rode it again in the back, and it suddenly had a lot of airtime that was very enjoyable. So I like it!

I agree with Joey. El Toro hands down is the best wooden ride ever drop after drop twist after twist..its awesome. Terminator is one for the kids. Smooth twist and turns are nice but where is the thrill. and Take away the name and props and what do you have…NOTHING!

[...] A questionable Alltel commercial caused a healthy debate as to its inappropriateness. Also, Terminator Salvation and Saw: The Ride opened as did the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios [...]

Mmmmmmmmm… I like this ride. It's smooth, fast-paced, and has some good pops of airtime. The preshow was fun and interactive, and a good way to lead up to the fun ride. I wouldn't call it the best in the west (I live in the west so I should know,) but I can't think of any better wooden coasters I've been on. I would say it's tied with El Toro.

Looks pretty fun and fast. I'd still prefer El Toro over this though.

While I agree that the ride was quite smooth, when your initial reaction at the end is 'eh', I can't recommend it. As I said before, if you want some really good twists and some great speed, try El Toro at Six Flags in Jersey. That ride is just awesome. The best woodie I have ever been on. Even Viper at Six Flags in Illinois is a better ride than Terminator. I can't comment on west coast coasters too much as I have finally made my way out here for the first time. I just would not recommend waiting in line for more the 30 minutes for this ride.

I have to respectfully disagree with Joel. Terminator is very fast paced, thrilling, has some nice air time pops and is SMOOTH. Something that can not be said about any other wooden roller coaster in the Southern California area.

I have been on all but one wooden roller coaster in California, and Terminator is hands down the best.

Joel, first of all, you've got a great name! Second, Terminator Salvation is a twister, so it's not going to be airtime packed unfortunately. Brad LATimes Funland Blog agrees with you. I guess the speedy, twisted course doesn't do it for everyone. Heck, I'm more of airtime guy myself. Maybe I should hold off on calling it the best woodie in the West. Thanks for reading!
