fatdaddy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 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! And Pictures... I'm just a humble man, why must they always lay out a red carpet wherever I go? BBQ Landscapping. I drank most of this. I ate all of this.. Metro Park Pub...they gots beers!! Feel free to use that slogan. Dueling Pianos. When these two get together to duel, who wins? You do, see what I did there? Pizza. Big Belly Burger, the name says it all. I just really like this sign, comic book fans will get the names. I hear beans are a magical fruit. Caramel apples, so good! The fudge is awesome and deadly, I stopped before the fudge coma set in. Re-opened. Nice paint job. There must always be a store at the ride exit. No shoplifting when Batman is on duty! Need her...I mean this...this inanimate object Get the hoodie. Nerds can name all of these characters. Coolest thing in the store, beside the Harley Quinn statue. Lots of Harley Quinn swag to buy. Buy stuff here. Still working JL:BFM next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Didn't know this version had a new room with Harley! Pretty cool! These rides are fantastic and should be the most celebrated clone in the country. I'm sure JL will have a steady long line at MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 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! A little bit different, than everybody else in the Justice League? (o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 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.

berryfarm Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 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. At the end of the ride you can cruise the cool new merchandise associated with the new ride. Tacos OOOOOOOH MY Dueling pianos are back again for Grand Opening. The new paint job for Riddler's Revenge is pretty cool. Yay!!! No Lines! The trains on Riddler's Revenge have been refurbished for comfort, smoothness. The Press waiting excitedly for the start of the Grand Opening for Justice League:Battle For Metropolis. SFMM park president Bonnie Weber giving us all the details and helped lend to the air of excitement and the importance of this ride for the Park. John Wood, CEO and Chairman of Sally Corp. , the creative company behind Justice League: Battle For Metropolis. Eddie Scannel, Vice president of consumer marketing for DC Comics. Now to fireworks show Sorry everyone late on my report, I am busy work at Disneyland and be more pics on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
