The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[HighRollerHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

^ Last I checked, Great White is at Sea World, not Six Flags.

True, but putting Goliath a mere 11 miles from a copy of itself seems like something of a failure to plan, or at least recognize what their competitors have. It's not like SFFT was the only SF park that didn't have a Batman clone already.

Anywho, back to the regularly scheduled SFMM discussion: I agree that a S:UF clone (a la SFDK) would fit much better in the Deja Vu footprint. I can't say I see them swapping the new S:UF and GL:FF as long as they're both still drawing significant lines.

I'm assuming TPR is going to have some local so-cal badasses to go check out Lex Luthor...when can we expect reviews? I know it's opening on the 7th. I realllyyyyy need to get to West Coast bash now. Giant Drop in Australia was incredible! I know Blue Fall's reviews say it packs more of a punch on the drop, but people are going to love this ride.

[Xceleratorfan96Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

^^^I would go, but I'm still moping over the fact that I leave for an already planned vacation the day Lex opens, and I'm gone for the week that they have rescheduled the EDT's

But I'm sure TPR will have SOMEONE there!

I will probably take a ride on Lex Luthor on Sunday before I leave on Monday for a vacation.

[NyteowlHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Unfortunately, I'm leaving the day it opens for a week long vacation, so I won't be able to get a ride in until the following week after .

I don't really understand why Colossus would get a Rocky Mountain treatment...it may not have much in terms of forces, but it's butter smooth. Seriously.

From the SFMM Facebook page:

Watch a live webcast of the media launch of Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom, tomorrow @ 11am, before it opens to the public this Saturday. Click here for the details: http://www.videonewswire.com/event.asp?id=87953

Good idea to live stream the media event for those who can't make it. I'll be watching it for sure

But does "butter smooth" necessarily equal "exciting"?

Awesome! Thanks! I'll be doing that.

Not at all. But it is definitely "fun." It just seems strange to me that a park would dump a ton of cash into a classic wooden coaster that is already fun and running like a gem.

Not that I'm against it. I'm all for thrills and airtime and upkeep and blah blah blah. I'm just not really sure why it makes sense in THIS case.
