Xtreme-me

Hey people, Im going to the park tomorrow and I'm really excited. I was wondering if there is anything that anyone wants me to take pictures of. I dont know if we will be wasting time on the pirates lair thing but other than that, we should be pretty much doing everything. Thanks for all your help!

X is always open! I've been to the park twice out of about 30 times when the ride was not open. The rest of the times its always been open. Its really obnoxious that you would act that way. Everyone who has ever gone to the park with me has enjoyed it way more than knotts. Knotts is only good when you go on a day when there is no one there. If you have to wait for an eternity to go on ghostrider, its annoying. Ive been to the park on days when ghostrider has a three hour wait, Xcelerator a one hour wait and a two hour wait for Perilous plunge. Thats retarded! Its discusting and annoying that you would bash Six Flags because of one or two visits to the park that werent to your extreme satisfaction. Scream is very very fun. Yeah it doesnt have any theming of any sort but that is beside the point. Theming does not make a ride. The ride makes the ride. I could care less about theming. Scream is really fun, it doesnt have any theming but its really really fun. Your opinion is your own, but condemning the park with no valid proof is not right.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There are definitley more rides that are worth saving that Riddler's and Tatsu. X would also be good to save if the park was to be shut down, however, MM is a good park. They have some things that they need to work out but changes have come and alot of new ideas have made the park really cool looking. Also, the line jumping at MM has severely decreased compared to the years before. As far as Im conscerned, Ive had more problems with bad language, garbage and line jumpers at Disneyland than at MM. As far as being unsafe for children, I have no idea what you are talking about. The park has a very good enforcement policy for their safety standards. Granted they are lacking in a very good childrens area, but they arent concerned about that as much.

AHHH..so maybe they WILL pull it down soon! I thought for sure it wouldnt be till the end of the year (November) or something!! Good deal! Glad improvements are being made! -Ryan they cant just "pull it down". They have to take it apart piece by piece because of its location. Its surrounded by buildings on all side and the metro. It would be to risky to just "let it fall" I wouldn't be surprised if they use a crane to take it apart. It's going to take a while.

Look, Reading through this thread has made me extremely mad. It pisses me off that anyone would accuse anyone of being a racist when he was clearly addressing who the person who committed the offence here. If the person who cut in front of him was a bunch of teenage white guys, he would have said it. It does not mean that he is in any form a racist. He reported his story accurately and clearly and it is absolutely revolting that anyone would call him a racist. Any of you who posted in this thread, what would you have done in reporting this story. Would you have left out entirely what kind of person it was who did this? No, you would have attached some sort of tag to them, whether it is teenager, adult, child, anyone. He wasn't being a racist at all. Stating the fact of someones race in no way makes him a racist. He would have called her a B*tch if she was white or any other race. There is too much talk of racism in this thread. Stating facts does not make you a racist. Stating facts makes your story accurate. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that none of this stuff happens around me when I go to Disneyland for my B-day party tomorrow! that would suck.

The First time I really really got scared was on X. I threw up four times inside a trash can in the station because I was so scared! When we were on the ride, I cussed like I've never cussed before. And this was like, high school cussing level. I said pretty much every word in the book because I thought I was going to Die! I didnt and ended up loving the ride! I will still, to this day, get butterflies in my stomach whenever Im about to go on X. Next has to be Deja Vu. Im a really big guy so going up at a 90 degree angle and just hanging there scares the crap out of me! I still like the ride but that just freaks me out. Lastly would have to Be Tatsu. That thing is SO HIGH UP! When your at the top of the lift hill, your like, what the heck did I get myself into! The first time I ever went on it screamed like a little girl because I was so afraid.

Yeah, I totally Understand what you mean and your frustration. Actually, I have my own share of line jumper stories. Some of them are ridiculous and just crazy. I'm going to Disneyland next week for my birthday and I plan on reporting anyone who tries to jump in line or go ahead in line when they aren't supposed to. Some people may call you a prude for it but I commend you for what you did in that, you didn't take the matter into your own hands. Unfortunately for you, the situation didn't work out in the most proper way, however, you did the right thing. If I had been there, heaven knows I would have lost it completely! I believe that there needs to be a stronger enforcement of the line jumper policy. Apparently, people think they can get away with it and unless parks start upholding these rules, its not going to turn out well for the future. I've already started telling people who try to get in front of me in line that they need to go to the back and wait. And from now on, I'm going to make sure to report it if necessary. Hope nothing like this happens to me on Wendsday! The worst one I ever had was at SFMM though. It was wierd. I was waiting in line for Goliath. It was a week after Tatsu opened and they were only operating one train. I was angry and annoyed because it was one of those days when middle schools and High schools have their ditch days. We were waiting in the huge line and these people who were obviously friends just kept on going past us and past us. It was rediculous. So eventually my dad who was with me lost it completely. It was rediculous that person after person kept on going past. He freaking lost it. He asked the next person (who happened to be this 5'2" little girl and my Dad is 6'9") what they thought they were doing. She said she was going up to be with her friends. He said nope sorry, go to the end of the line. Then this other guy came and tried the same thing. It was funny to watch. While my dad was talking to the other guy the girl tried to slip past and the guys right in front of us stopped her. My dad was so fed up, he was about to grab her by the hair and take her to the back of the line! He didnt but it would have been funny. It made me laugh. The girl and the other guy went to the back of the line and everybody cheered. It was awesome. No one else after that even tried to get past. It was funny! So yeah, remember to stop your neighborhood line cutter. Next time you see them.

Favorites: - Jaguar - Ghostrider - California Screamin (it really gives off the whole boardwalk feel and its very different waiting there because you can see the water. Theres plenty of shade and watching the ride is awesome) - X (I think its really cool. I love how it wraps around the lift hill. Some people dont like it but I've waited in that line for 3 hours when it was 115+ degrees at SFMM and still liked the ride so its really not that bad. The misters make everything better as long as they are on. Granted the line isn't amazing but I really like it) - Knott's Logride (I love how hit goes under the lift and then behind the waterfall. Its really cool.) - ToT (DCA) (Ive never waited outside but the inside part is awesome and it may not be the best but its still really cool) - Goliath (SFMM) (I love the palm branches and the parts of the statue lying everywhere) Ones I hate: - Scream (fortunately, theres almost never a line) - Riddlers (stuffy...) - Batman (SFMM, its all rusty and discusting and icky) - Tatsu (cool building but terrible switchbacks) - Xcelerator (Too many switchbacks and the line is not so fun) - Perilous Plunge (icky switchbacks... blechh) - Whizzer (SFGam) - American Eagle (SFGam) - Deja Vu (any of them)

I really like your park. Its amazing! I play RCT2 but I cant even come close to creating any buildings like yours. I think they all are perfect. Your Rides look very good, especially Gwazi. Montu is very cool looking and from what ive seen, its very close to the original, however, you really need to make the ground the sand color. It would look much better that way. Otherwise, its amazing!

I think that the reason that some of the cars spin more than other is that in some cars the weight distribution is unequal. If there is the same amount of weight on both sides of the car, they spin less. However, if there is an unequal distribution of wieght in the car, it could spin more. If the cars were really free spinning, it wouldn't take them time to work. If you watched the video, you could tell that the last car was definitely unbalenced in weight or something of the sort.

I dont get around much so all of my coasters are from Southern California. 1. X (SFMM) 2. Tatsu (SFMM) 3. Xcelerator (KBF) 4. California Screamin' (DCA) 5. Ghostrider (KBF) 6. Matterhorn (DL) 7. Riddler's Revenge (SFMM) 8. Scream! (DL) 9. Silver Bullet (KBF) 10. Space Mountain (DL) Yeah, its pathetic. I hope to get out some more next year to other places (Cedar Point hopefully)

So... Intamin gave it that nice "rust touch-up" just for Six Flags? Just Kidding. Anyways, the park looks amazing. considering what it was like last year. I love that park alot and it needs some TLC and attention. I think that the wisest move Six Flags made was selling its less popular parks and just sticking to the ones that were already huge. (aka, SFMM, SFGadv, SFFT, etc) Some of the things at the park look amazing. I havent been on Ninja since the huge paint job but what I saw of it when I was there was amazing. Its nice to see that ride get some attention. As far as getting new trains for X, I wish that they could wait to put them on. If they put the new trains on, it will take a while for them to test the ride before they can get it back open again. What happens if the ride is closed for another three or four months during the summer so they can put the trains on? I dunno if its such a good idea. The trains that they have right now are running really really smooth so it seems as though for now the new trains arent even needed in my opinion. But who knows. I cant wait to get back to the park and check the new stuff out! All I have to say is keep it up Six Flags!

Yeah, I'd love to stay inside the park but I have to pay for it and I really can't afford it. I'm turning 16 and I have to pay for all 7 people's meals and stuff so eating both meals inside the park isn't really ideal. Last time I was there, we went to the mcdonalds and it wasn't bad at all. Actually, the bread bowls are what I remember the most at disneyland aside from the rides so we will definitely be getting those for lunch. The Matterhorn and Space mountain are my two favorite rides so yeah, We wont be skipping them, Trust me! Also, Lines arent too much of a problem. I have a condition with my knees and so I can get the Handicapped pass. Also, there is a friend of mine who is eligible for one too so we dont have any problems with lines. Thanks for all the help.

Well, heres the deal. Im going to Disneyland for My Birthday in exactly two weeks because I got free tickets from a friend. (June 6th) and I have some questions. (Trust me, I Already know about Nemo) - Where's the best place to buy food at a (relatively) low price thats really good? - Is buying dinner outside the park a good idea? (were staying untill closing at 11 so time isn't too much of an issue) - We wont be arriving unitl 10(ish) am so what should we head to first? - How is the ride on Matterhorn, is it still rough? Any info would be great! Thank you!

Im Ambulatory but I cant be on my legs for too long or else they really start to hurt. Well, I can hope for it to be open but I wont count on it

I really hope this ride is open on the Sixth. I only go to DL every couple years and it would really suck if it wasnt open. Finding Nemo, along with the Pirates movies are my favorite disney movies ever and so I really really want to try out FN. I guess all I can do is pray . Seriously though, I've seen the ride testing SOOOOOO many times that its unbelievable. I would have thought it would be open by around this time. They've been building that ride for what seems like an eternity. (Oh, I also have problems with my knees so I am able to recieve a handicap pass so the lines arent very much of a problem for me)

Yeah, that seat is just for larger people. If you sit in it and your small, you get MAJOR airtime. Its insane. Theres nothing wrong with it if that was what you where thinking

I absolutley love what they did with Space Mountain in TDL! The Logo is awesome, The Space ship inside the building is very cool looking. The station is very dark and dreary but it makes the room look really cool. I will look forward to riding that some day!

Im surprised that no one has even mentioned California Screamin! If you've been on it, you can hardly even tell that you are on a track. I've been on it four or so times and I could hardly tell that we were even attached to the track. It was so smooth it was unbelievable. (CS is an Intamin) B&M's arent too bad either. Batman is the only one that is rather rough to me that I have been on. Scream wasn't smooth either (The Drop) but it wasnt rough by any means Im going to have to go with Intamin for this one.

Well, yesterday when i got home from school, I was on my computer and I tried to get to RCPRO.com but it wouldnt let me. It said the server was down or the site didn't exist. Whats going on with it? I really like that website. Lots of quality photos, nice videos and downloadable tracks and parks for RCT2, 3 and No limits. Is it gone forever?

^ that and the company who built the metro went out of business and it was very difficult to get parts that could fix the trains. A couple things from my POV: 1. The trains actually look very nice in my opinion and that paint was desperately needed. 2. The whole coaster car idea thing is cool but what exactly is it? does it give you a discount on the price of ice cream @ dippin' dots or Cold Stone in the Future? I fully take advantage of their One dollar souvenir cup refills but is the Coaster car thing anything like that? 3. Single Rider lines help alot and can really do alot for the park. Looks like they finally learned from Deja Vu what kind of impact that a single rider line can have. (if its open) Looks like we'll be seeing alot more full trains from now on. 4. Johnny Rockets looks like it could be very good looking if they continue at the pace they are going. 5. Metro commin back!!! its about time MM got some better transportation rides around the park. They really need them. (maybe ACE will make it an honoryary landmark just because it can haul themselves around!) 6. I dont care what goes in behind Deja as long as its not - Wiggles world - Thomas the tank engine land 7. I would like to see Flashback moved there and redone. (New paint, B&M trains, etc All in all, the park looks alot better. Any problems with X lately? and why is Tatsu breaking down so much?

I want and AQUATRAX!!! (Just Kidding ) Nah. I doubt it because Knotts is Putting in Sierra Sidewinder and i think SF wouldn't want to copy them, however, thats just my opinion. What i want the most is an Intamin woodie. (not necessarily an El Toro clone, but something really really fun) MM is really lacking in the area of good Intamin Rides. They have Superman but they could do so much better.

"* Magic Mountain's Metro is expected to return to operation before the end of the 2007 season but will not be themed to Thomas the Tank Engine because "our partnership with Hit Entertainment, they really want to keep Thomas on the ground, he's not an elevated train. Of course we want to respect their brand attribute, so we're not going to play with that." (Quote Mark Shapiro) * Wiggles World and Thomas Town won't be coming to Magic Mountain in 2008." OH MY GOODNESS!!! Thats Really Cool. Its about time they got that thing running

^ I cannot agree with you more. Granted there are certain places that are more fun to ride in on certain rides. X's front row ride is one of those places that changes the ride and gives an insane experience (I havent been on it but I've heard about it). Unfortunately for you, that is the way that they have the que system set up which is extremely useful because the line is handled much better. Its understandable that your friend would like to sit there but it cannot be expected. I love the groupers because they do a good job. And they keep the line moving swiftly instead of causing clog ups. I've found out that when they do that type of thing it works better and in order to get the seat that you want ask the first person you get to, because there are normally two workers, one to direct people to different rows, one to tell them when they can go and you ask the first person and they will hold you back until they get to the point where its time to fill up the next train. Glad to see that you had a fun time other than that. One question though, is the back on Tatsu more intense than the front? I've never been able to ride in the last two rows because they had those blocked off for the fastpass people. Sorry that you ran into so many crowds. It comes with the season. I've pledged to myself never to go on a saturday during lat March, April, May, and/or June because of the huge crowds I've run into on days during those months. Thats all you can really expect though from going on a saturday.

^ yeah they did that to me too when I was there last time too. X is running surprisingly well. (im pretty sure they moved the person who was doing the quick dispatches at Tatsu on X and now Tatsu's dispatches suck. Glad to see they worked everything out with X. Where you able to find out what happened with it?
