I can only say one word.... WOW! This has to be the best PTR ever. Great job! It looks like you guys had alot of fun. Maby when I get the money I can go on some of these trips with you. There was one picture that I just fell in love with. http://www.themeparkreview.com/spain2007/parquewarner/parquewarner80.jpg Can you send this to me in full size if you have it. Thank you.

My family and I are going to Six Flags Magic Mountain for spring break. We're flying into Burbank on Saturday March 22 and landing at 9:00 that night. Then we're going to check into Courtyard Marriott. If anyone has stayed there then can you tell me how it was? The next morning we are going to get to the park at 10. I realized just a few days ago that that day is Easter Sunday so will the park be more or less crowded than usual? We are also going to the park on Monday. Will two days be enough to ride all the rides without buying a flash pass? Then we're leaving California at 6:00 in the morning on Tuesday. The last time I went to Magic Mountain was when I was eight. I hardly remember anything about it but the fact that I puked my guts up in front of the big Goliath sign. Last time we only spent one day (which was definatly not long enough time), and we were running from ride to ride with out a break. That really takes a toll on you body after a while, hence why I threw up. If anyone has any tips to get the most of my time while I'm there I would really appreciate it.

^^ You do have a point. I was just stating what I thought though.

^^^That's not what I said. I said that the design was overused and after you ride the same ride over and over that it can start to get old. But a ride like Evil Knievel will get boring a lot slower because the design is not scattered all over the country. I think that the Batman at SFMM is just as thrilling as the others but I think that it could be skipped sometimes because there a a lot of better rides at the mountain. Why waste some time on a roller coaster that I can ride somewhere else when I can ride a more unique roller coaster right now.

Clones are just fine with me as long as they don't overuse them. For example, I think that they reused the Batman: The Ride design to many times but clones like Evil Knievel are great because there is not too many of them. But that's just my opinion. As long as people keep coming to a park I'm not complaining.

I have a question about the elephant ears. Have they already been installed? If they have been they look a lot different from the original X. In the pictures it looks more like a cover over the mechanical parts than a shield. I kind of like it, it adds a sence of danger to the ride.

Hey I'm Blake and I'm from Arkansas, and no I'm not a hick! Magic Springs is my homepark. It's not the best but I make it work. I've been reading these forums for a while but I never have gotten around to actually joining. I look foward to meeting y'all!
