  1. This is one of their most pleasing, dramatic landscapes left in the park. I feel like it would be a missed opportunity to not use it for something super thrilling and iconic. c'mooon epic-class blitz!
  2. Love the Sequoia Lodge... Well, besides those couches. The Disney village looks a little... Uninspired during the day, but wow, those night photos are amazing. Great pictures!
  3. I haven't ridden this since I was in 7th grade, and it was really fun then. As of now, how would you guys rate it compared to Psyclone? [r.i.p ]
  4. For everyone frightened by it [i think it's cute, lol.] Fear not! The project was killed a couple years ago; too expensive. I'm kind of surprised it's taken this long for these vids to make the rounds. But given the time since that was built, I shudder to think of what's to come. Flying spider robots?
  5. I work in HR at Castle Park, here in SoCal. We were acquired by PR in... Jeez August I think? I'm hesitant to breathe a sigh of relief, but as far as I can see, they really are a very, very hands-off company. We've had one visit from representatives, and they were very clear to us that they had no intention of doing anything to the park, or "Putting money into something that doesn't really need it." They don't want to make every park their own personal Disneyland, they just want to sit back and share our money. They walked around, met with the staff, answered questions, and told us to expect further communications to be through e-mail. When I asked Rolf, our park #1 what was up, his response was "That was it? I don't know, I figured they'd want to survey the land or something." Heh, the park is standing on some land that would do nicely for an extra hospital annex that it could really use, or a hotel, and our attendance has been pretty poor lately,so he figured they might decide to scrap the place. But as far as I can tell, Parques Reunidos just want their cut. D
  6. Thanks montezooma! BEAUTIFUL!! It may have been a rattling deathtrap, but it was one of a kind. "Whaaaaa this ride is too rough, I bit my lip, my vertebrae have been reduced to liquid." It's a horrible shame to see a unique ride be brought down, and to stand in the shadows and weep as the masses shake their pitchforks and torches and shriek in their madness for a lynching. Maybe they'll melt it down and build some flats.
  7. Ohh good! I hope someone snatches up Flashback. It could be an awesome, unique ride again given some modification. I'm glad it won't be scrapped and burned according to the will of the malicious Anti-Flashback movement.
  8. *emphatic clapping* Awesome pictures. Thank you for posting this.
  9. Wow. This is devastating. Psyclone was my favorite ride at MM because it always provided a thrilling, bowel-loosening ride as opposed to the predictable and mediocre effect that the rest of the parks collection had after repeated rides. It's going to suck to have to travel farther to experience that out-of-control terror due to the abundance of people spoiled by todays new-fangled steel contraptions with their "smooth rides" and "up-to-date inspection information".
  10. Werd. This is the time of year when I always get my visits in, because frankly, it's the only time it's worth it. The crowds, staffing issues, and pretty much every problem that goes along with them are non-existant. Rainy days are the best, as long as one doesn't drive all the way up there to find a flashing sign proclaiming "SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN WILL BE CLOSED TODAY DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER! HAVE A NICE DRIVE HOME, IDIOT!" Heh. I'm on my way up there now.
  11. Good. Disney should recognize the tremendous influence they wield, and it would be awesome to see them show some interest in the well being of their guests. Cheers to them. "No Fat Chicks" tees in the Disney Store? Charge it.
  12. This is despicable. I've been holding out for another winter of Mountain Nirvana Weekends, where all the rides were running with no lines, the employees were thick across the park, and riding Psyclone was like tumbling down a slip n' slide soaked with KY and laid across an enormous babys bottom. After Fright Fest, will they even bother keeping the park open for weekend hours?
