Justice League: Battle for Metropolis VIP Grand Opening!!!


Recommended Posts

TPR was invited to the VIP Grand Opening of Justice League: Battle for Metropolis at Six Flags Magic Mountain. There was great food, music, superheroes, fireworks, and did I mention an awesome new shooting dark ride? JL:BFM is SFMM's first dark ride, and contrary to popular belief this is not just a clone of the ride that exists at other Six Flags parks, it's unique to Magic Mountain, and the only version that includes Harley Quinn. The ride opens today July 12, along with the reopening of the newly painted Riddler's Revenge, and the new Metropolis area. New food options, including the Metro Park Pub, and Ace of Clubs barbecue should not be missed.

 

The VIP event started with great food available in the new Metropolis area, SFMM has really raised the bar on the quality and selection of food available, everything from barbecue to beer battered shrimp, of course there's still burgers and pizza if that's your thing. We had preview rides on JL:BFM and it's a very fun ride, well themed, guns are very accurate, a mix of 3D and animatronics, all the things you want in a shooting dark ride, plus Harley Quinn!

 

The grand opening ceremony was just that...GRAND! It started with words from the park president and ended with DC Superheroes and firework, lots, and lots...and lots, of fireworks...and lasers...and confetti cannons...spotlights...GRAND!!!

 

Thanks to Six Flags Magic Mountain and everyone who worked hard getting this project finished. It's a great addition to the park and I know a lot of people are excited to see it open. They won't be disappointed!

Um, where in the heck is Aquaman? Just curious.

 

I am wondering if a lot of people will be surprised

by Jason Momoa in the role. Not exactly blonde, hmm?

 

 

Great coverage of the event, Caesar!

Great report! The whole area looks nice, and Magic Mountain really needed a ride like this. They really went all out for this one (at least by Six Flags standards). Those superheroes sell tickets amd generate merch sales, so keep them coming.

First major media event for a grand opening and I had a lot of fun. I thought the new Justice League: Battle For Metropolis was a good break in a coaster heavy park, especially in the summer when an air-conditioned ride is most welcome. The experience was fun as you help the Justice League battle to save Metropolis from Lex Luthor, The Joker, and Harley Quinn!

 

The food was delicious with chicken and carne asada street tacos, fried shrimp, and fish and chips filling us up before Grand Opening.

Desserts like chocolate fudge and caramel/apple slices put us in the mood for more Justice League!Cool schwag too like a pink Super Girl cape in which we dressed our pup Schatzi.

Overall a fun night and a fun ride that promises to give the park some depth for families.
