Terminator Salvation

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About Terminator Salvation

A $10 million Great Coasters International Inc. wooden coaster features a loading station "fly-thru" as well as on-board sound and mist tunnels.

Initially announced as "Terminator: The Coaster," Six Flags has renamed this coaster "Terminator Salvation," as a tie-in to the fourth film in the Terminator series.

Watch the pre-show video closely, as it makes many references to both the film and the park. -- Last edited by Lars Raddishtop

VERY NICE THEMEING!!! The themeing on terminator made SCREAM! look like a homeless shelter... yes Im complaining about another coaster while reviewing a coaster... It maintains its speed and has some nice curves on it... too bad it slams you back and fourth and makes your ribs hurt... I'll give it a 8/10... - Mateo sams

Terminator Salvation is the second best coaster in the park! Me and my friend sat in the back and got tons of airtime. We got there so early that we got to ride it twice! Outstanding. Terminator Salvation is a must ride, but go there first because the line gets reeeeaaaaalllllllyyyyy Long. 11/10 - Timothy Berg
