The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

Six Flags isn't TRYING to make the ride suck, their trying to make it WORK

NO, try not. "Do or Do not. There is no try."


Seriously, the way I see it SFMM should either be running things the right way or not at all.

Based off of what a few people brought up, it seems that Insane DOES have the same problems as SFMM with the ZacSpin. The difference is that they are good enough to spend money on the maintenance personnel to be at the ride when the cars come into the station weird. I saw this happen tons of times at GL last year when the ride was operating the way it should operate where they kept maintenance on hand to handle any problems (which were pretty common).
Unfortunately the issue lies, of course, with SFMM's cheapness.

Six Flags is GOING TO to make the ride suck, they're not trying to make it WORK as intended. Honestly, this is SFMM's fault for making a craptastic system operations to go along with a great coaster.

*Fixed.

So how long can everybody conceivably see GL staying at the park? I give it until the end of 2013 at most. Now that CP is removing Wildcat, they can keep the "Coaster Crown" with whatever they add next year and remove GL. I just don't know what else, if anything could go in that spot. They may be forced to get a **gasp** Flat Ride.

Why would they remove it though? If the GP enjoys it just fine, and all they have to do is balance the trains, then that's what they'll do. Just because they run it like crap doesn't mean they're just gonna rip it out two years later. They'll just run it like crap some more.

Plus, the world's ending in a few months so this won't even matter in 2013!

If there was a chain that believed this, it would be Six Flags...

RC Day 2012 Review:

So I arrived at the park around 10:00. I squeezed myself up to the front of the gate so I could get with my friends. I got to meet freddiew, JacksFilms, and a couple other people. You can check out there channels right here: JacksFilms freddiew I thought the event was really fun! The park was empty for the most part (besides the 600 fans that came to meet freddiew). I got on almost all the rides without a wait and I felt it was a very fun event. I can't compare RC Day with WCB probably because I have yet been able to go and WCB just sounds alot better. Oh yes and I skipped Green Lantern because inversions are too mainstream for Magic Mountain at the moment. Here's some photos:

I think they will remove the ride, after the 2013 or 2014 season, and say its due to a ride rotation....then, they can add a sequel to Pistachio Park and put Cashew Park in the place of Green Lantern....seriously, I give it 2, maybe 3 more years at most!

[XYZA village is missing its IDIOT!]

If they were to remove GL, it would be around 2014/2015. I think it might get one of those "renovations" that Six Flags likes to have, anyone want Bizarro: Cynical Spin?

Really, SFMM is just letting all the non-coaster rides to just rot. Well, the non-coaster rides still existing.
