Hey everyone!
So for some people who didn't get the memo that the Six Flags Magic Mountain Tatsu Media Day Camp Out had been pushed back, we ended up had some friends in town.
Ok, well, actually they weren't that stupid, they just weren't able to change their flights for the new date! 
But away way, we had a good time up at the mountain today.
Here are a few pics from our visit......
And also, Joe's version of the Photo TR can be found here:

At Magic Springs's opening ceremony, the last Don Rosser coaster operates at its best depending on the quality of our human sacrifice.

Hmm--SFMM's Batman has the Michael Keaton/Val Kilmer/George Clooney cowl with the Adam West suit. "Holy fashion faux pas, Batman!"
Oh, the irony--I'll be driving right past Tatsu on I-5 on my way to the Anaheim HoJo's after my niece's wedding in August. Probably won't get back to Valencia to check it out. I must have a 100 drive-bys of SFMM since the last time I visited the place (when Revolution still ruled). But I'm looking forward to getting back to Disneyland again; haven't been there since 2001.

I guess someone figured out-"If we're going to extract $15 for parking and $59.99 for admission, maybe we should try to make them happy when they come in?"

Looks like you guys had a good time despite not getting to ride Tatsu. (BTW, its pronounced like 'Taught Sue'  )
I'm shocked at the old school Batman dude, as well as Carlos, El Lanterno Verde!

| ^I have no problem with the "old-school" Bat, but they need to get him the proper cowl. I suspect the Joker is behind this!
