^ Looking forward to hearing more about the day, and seeing pictures if possible.

Speaking of pictures, please take some good ones of the lunch.

Six Flags MM ‏ @SFMagicMountain Close
Due to the inclement weather, Six Flags Magic Mountain will be closing at noon today.

^But the rain stopped!!!!!!!!!!!

[dylanreichLost My Veganity on the New Hotness trip.]

I'm here at the lunch. Riddler's, Scream, and Green Lantern were not open for ERT. The park is closing at noon. I have heard that they are passing out one-day tickets as you leave. The director of operations has not spoken at lunch. I know Ace members are scheduled to have a Q&A, but I'm not sure what the park is doing about that. Goliath did take about 45 minutes after ERT started to get going, but was fine from then-on. This event is very disorganized, however. The lunch started 15 minutes late, and ALL of the fountain drink stations are empty. I'll have more comments and pictures later when I get home, my thumbs are frozen as it is.

^But the rain stopped!!!!!!!!!!!

It started raining again shortly after I posted.
We went to the group lunch and then decided to call it a day.
It was just a really bad weather day.
The park did give us comp passes without us having to ask for them (not that I would have)
Sure, it was a crappy day, but it wasn't the fault of anything other than the weather.

Sorry guys, I played the Song of Storms this morning.

Funny, it was pouring this horribly last year too!

I took a few pictures at the park today. Ride operations were ok for the most part on the rides that were open. Goliath took a while to get going during ERT (about 45-60 minutes in), but was fine after that. Tatsu had a few hiccups when the park opened, but going going very quickly.
The Director of Operations (Neal?) told me during lunch that Lex Luthor will most likely open between the end of May and early June, but they have no set date as of now. He didn't really have a response for me when I asked about the Six Flags post talking about a ride named "YOLOcoaster," just that there are rumors out about the upcoming ride. He said that the name of the ride (not confirmed as a coaster) is indeed set.

[TmcdllrWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

^They better fix Lex's track if they want to run that ride!...lol

So.. anybody going to comment on the lunch? Food offered/quality/etc.

And what ended up happening for the after hours ERT?

[dylanreichLost My Veganity on the New Hotness trip.]

^The lunch was the exact same as West Coast Bash, except for them not having the soda fountain machines ready/working. They did nothing at all about the night ERT. I should also mention that the comp ticket was for everyone who went to SFMM that day, not just the event-goers. It doesn't affect me since I have a season pass, but even considering everything, they were only offering event-goers an upgrade to a season pass at the $39.99 price offered to anybody who goes to the park. There were definitely some upset people who traveled longer distances for the event.
