The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

If my memory serves me correctly, X goes through its annual rehab sometime in January - February, so keep an eye out in this thread for when that may happen. There are, however, MUCH more knowledgable minds in this thread than myself who can verify this information.

X has historically been rehabbed in Jan/Feb, but that was based on it's initial Jan '02 debut. It's May re-inception may have an effect. Just an educated guess, though.

Thanks everyone....I will keep checking back!

Hey everyone, for those who care, I noticed that SFMM no longer opens at 10:00am anymore! The last year, the park had been opening at 10:00am on weekends, 10:30am on weekdays. Now the park opens altogether at 10:30am!

Also, it would appear that the park closes at weird times on some days, like 6:30pm.

So just a heads up. No more trip reports saying that they opened the park 30 minutes late! ::)

Thanks the Fire Works on the tower look great. Looks like it was very succsesful for the park.

^ The tower was an ideal place to put the countdown timer and it must have looked great not only from the ground, but even from the freeway nearby.

I think SFMM has some great years coming. Remember, too, that 2011 is its 40th year, so I imagine something BIG will come then.

Those fireworks look great. It is now my ambition to be at SFMM for the 2011 New Years. Looks fun!

Hi! I've been poking around these forums as a looker but not a poster. And that YouTube video that SFMM100 posted? Haha... THAT'S MY VIDEO!!

What a surprise to see that someone posted it up here and I'm glad you guys like it. I have pictures that I took of that event if you guys would like to see it.
