The official announcement will be in the next week, but here's the concept art:

Six Flags Magic Mountain will officially unveil plans this week for Terminator: The Coaster, a $10-million wooden roller coaster scheduled open Memorial Day weekend 2009.
The 2,850-foot-long coaster with Millennium Flyer trains will include a 100-foot lift, five hills, six banked turns as well as visual and audio effects and a loading station fly-through. The three-minute start-to-finish ride reaches a top speed of 55 mph.
The Great Coasters International woodie will be built next to the Déjà Vu looping steel coaster and in the same location as Psyclone, a reviled wooden coaster mercifully removed from the Valencia amusement park in 2006.

Awesome! :) But, how does a woodie fit into the Terminator concept?

I don't care - GCI makes some fun coasters, and the Millennium Flyer trains are wonderful.

That looks like a big-assed coaster

100 feet tall, 2850 ft. of track isn't that big - Ghostrider at Knott's is 118 ft. tall, and has 4533 ft. of track, for comparison.

BUT GCI is known for their twister coasters, which is a different style from anything else in SoCal, so I'm looking forward to it.

The picture makes it look like it is almost as tall as the tower. I was wishin', hopin' and dreamin'

At the end of the ride, you're killed by a robot from the future.
