I went on it opening year(1991) and it was my favorite coaster in the park(i know, i admit it so you can make fun of me later) My last ride was in 2005 and it was really brutal. To bad because i really thought it was a great ride to beginn with. Also opening year the lines were insane, waiting 2 1/2, 3 hours was not unusual for Psyclone. At one visit the line went all the way up to the entrance of Roaring Rapids

Looks like it is not closing this year after all http://www.ocregister.com/news/park-wild-rivers-1796040-irvine-camp

^ I would love that and you are so right about that. I went to SFHH last thursday and the park was packed, i mean PACKED. So it would only make sense to expand the park with something unique like this

Btw, SFMM opens at 10.30am now on weekdays, not 1oam

I am german, I started drinking at 16 and i turned out to be fine(i think,lol) The word is "moderation" everything in moderation should be fine! Anyhow, i love Octoberfest, went twice in the late 90's, not that i remember to much (except of the bathrooms, yikes) I was planing to visit my family in september in frankfurt, so i think i can get away for a couple of days to get my 6 credits and my 100.000th glas of beer credit aswell Edit: Never met Rob, but from the videos/pictures and the sense of humor you have, i am sure that once you have been to the octoberfest, you will make it an annual trip. It's like a theme park review extravaganza with all the timmings AND a lot of beers

Great Tr so far, only complain: Not enough shirtless guys!

I would call costumer service and explain them what you like to do and what the pictures are being used for and see what they have to say

Yeah, I got one today aswell as my birthday is on the 16th thought that was pretty cool aswell. How much is a childs admission these days anyhow? Using a two for one coupon is still probably cheaper though

I took the bus once from Union Station to SFMM years ago. There is a Santa Clarita Commuter Express Bus leaving Union Station in the morning that gets you fairly close to SFMM.

From Screamscape: Sounds good to me

That's Cedar Point, not Sfmm! Anyhow, i never got the Magic Mountain is full of trash argument. I have been going there for almost 20 years now and really never seen it as dirty as some people describe it on here.

Where did you hear that the new X trains are already on site? That would be pretty fast to manufacture/test them if that is the case

I think the Mills Corporation (Ontario Mills e.t.c.) had plans there for a outlet mall/entertainment/movie center years ago, but those plans fell thru when they got into financial trouble

Sock eating washers and dryers, hell yeah that is news. I still dont know why i always come up a couple of socks short after doing laundry!

A man can always hope though, right?

I was there for the official opening for Superman(yes, i am getting old) and they were racing both sides. It was fun to watch people in the other car, there expression while reaching the top. You guys have to understand that this was the first coaster to ever got launched the way it did to that extreme speed. Of course 10 years later it's not that special, but from a historic standpoint Superman, The Escape was groundbreaking when it first opend As much as i would love to see this happening, i think with Shapiro in charge that chance would be 0%

^ New trains wont come until way after the summer and even with new trains to test them and get certified i dont think that would take more than a week or two

Especially after riding Tatsu you know what season pass you will get. SFMM is deffinatly going in the right direction. I went last this week again(try to get as many visits in there as possible before the summer season starts) and had a great time. I can see the improvements here and there. Magic Mountain was my first mega park when i moved to the states, so it is clearly close to my heart(well as close as a themepark can get to your heart) and i am happy to see them putting some money into it to improve it

I remember Viper @ SFMM had a rule like that years ago and they enforced it too

wow, that was fast, thanks. Guess it looked cool to me in the snow. Kinda eerie, i liked it

Saw these pictures on the net, but have no idea where/what it is. Maybe someone on here knows because it looks like a pretty cool ride

Today is Tatsu's first birthday, so happy birthday to you. You gave me a lot of incredible rides! Edit: Somehow that did not sounded quite right, but what the heck

I went two weeks ago on a thursday and had an excellent time. Let's hope they keep it up, i am sure last year was odd as sf wanting to sell the park, so maybe they slashed some money from the budget in regards of improvements. But so far this year, i am very impressed. It's these little improvements that actually make a big difference of someones perception of the park

Plus it's next to some water in a nice, more quiet/relaxing location

A couple of years ago i worked for the mtv beach haus which was located at the former Marineworld site in Palos Verdes. They still had some buildings standing and i walked around a lot to explore it. The area is spectacular, i could only imagine how amazing this park probably was. Damm Seaworld for closing it whitout any notice
