The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

The park was pretty dead while I was there today. Longest line was for the Season Pass processing. Even when I walked by Tatsu the line only seemed to be about 45 minutes and was just in the queue, not stretching out into to walkway. And this was before X2 opened. It was testing all morning but it seemed they were having some kind of issue. I think it opened later in the day. Green Lantern's queue was at least inside the building. Lex had about a 5 minute wait. I rode Ninja and Colossus and walked on both.

 

By the time I left at about 1:30 the 2nd lot was only about 1/2 full.

 

Also rode slingshot. I thought it was fun but I didn't realize you flipped so much on those. I just can't do stuff like that anymore. While I was sitting there for a bit (about 20 minutes) I didn't see anybody pay to ride.

 

EDIT: I also saw today that with the new lockers you have the ability to rent a "locker pass" and move your stuff from ride to ride. Unfortunately it's $6 for only 2 hours so I'm not sure how much it will actually be used. I personally think that if it used to be $1 for an hour then it should be no more than $2 or $3 for 2 hours. I'd even go as far as to say $8-$10 for a full day would be the way to go. Will have to see if they modify this but it's a great idea!!!

I would pay upwards of $15 even $20 for an all day fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo pass.

I hope SFHH is getting these same fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo... Would be worth the money, and then you dont have to carry around that key.

 

Starting last year they began using waterproof wristbands as keys to the lockers. It was nice and easy!

For all those who complain about Revolution's roughness.

 

Go ride Desert Storm at Castles n Coasters, then tell me how unridable Revolution is.

 

Haha! I live in AZ, and I'm maybe about half an hour from Castles n Coasters. Haven't been on Desert Storm in years, but I do remember it being kind of rough the last time I was there! But then again, one nice thing about it is the fact that it's lap bars only (at least it was when I was there last). Just imagine how much more rough it would be if it had Revolution's restraint system!

Now that I look at those pics, Tatsu and Scream are in desperate needs of paint jobs....

 

Nice update, will most likely go to the park next Sunday and will update whatever I can. Really happy to see S:EFK operating during construction, that's a +1 for SFMM!

Oh man Tatsu really is looking faded. Also, now hoping for a big rain storm to wash out that area where they're storing track! I really thought they stopped storing stuff over there after a bunch of that land fell into the wash a bunch of years ago!

I think MM finally realized that the sun is NOT their friend, hence the white color of FT. Scream is just, ughh. It already in the worst possible location, and the color scheme makes it look even more out of place. And now with this faded paint........yep, it just screams MM. High Quality!

They're putting that stuff on the land that didn't fall into the river so there's obviously nothing at all to be concerned about!
