I just bought 3 season passes plus 1 parking pass. I'm looking forward to riding the Grand Centennial Railway and seeing the miniature horses again. Followed by rides on the Galaxy, Freefall, and Swiss Twist.

The Dragon constantly broke down and it went so slow that some people actually got off the ride in the middle of it and walked up the hill.

The antique car ride looks awfully familiar. Did they take the old cars and track from Knott's Berry Farm? thanks

It's hard for some of the older crowd and even the younger ones to get to the summit. Going up and down the funicular is all right, but that's only good for one side of the hill. If you are going up the Gold Rush side and it's a hot day be prepare to sweat your butt off. Getting people up to that area, might solve some of the problems. It might be worthwhile to put in a monorail that would loop the mountain and have a stop next to the restaurant. Moving people around faster leaves more time for them to spend money on their trip. Seriously, a dark family ride on Samurai Summit would liven things up a bit. Or maybe a Drop Ride positioned on the edge of the hill. Of course they would have to do wind testing before hand so the ride isn't closed half the time due to high winds.

How about a folksy craft type area? A little theme area where you go back in time and you can make crafts, etc. Have leather crafts and blacksmith works, wooden crafts, handmade brooms and baskets, blown glass making, clay baking and other crafts. Call it Fallican Crossroads. Now, where to put it?

Bobsleds?

What MM needs is more family shows. How about they put in a man-made lake and put on a water ski show?

Seems like all my ideas have been done before, but this one seems like a winner. How about a walk though maze with a Magical Japanese theme. You walk through a series of rooms that have clever video projections finally ending in a disco like room that is pitch dark and all of a sudden the lights come on and off making it seem like everyone is moving crazy freaking everyone out. Call it the Magic Buddha.

How about a ride where you enter a round room. The room starts to spin and the force keeps you against the wall. You could even have the floor drop. Wouldn't that be neat? Call it Spin In or something like that.

Magic Mountain needs more flat rides. How about a ride that you sit in a barrel and you and your friends/family spin yourselves silly? Put it at or near where the Basketball thing is.

I wish, Six Flags would just drop the Six Flags and just advertise it as Magic Mountain. Six Flags is just to generic and "Magic Mountain" by itself makes it sound unique and special. I also would like them to bring back the trolls. Or maybe they could have a 70's week where they turn back the clock and encourage patrons to wear 70's clothes. Maybe bring in 70's sitcom stars and blast 70's music around the park. Maybe re-unite the Brady Bunch in a musical production. Groovy. Or maybe a theme area, just for the groovy 70's and make the central part of the theme area a retro's 70's era Wonder Woman theme roller coaster.

Hurricane Harbor must be doing brisk business.

Maybe they can combine the theater and expand the lake and come up with a new attraction similar to Disney's Fantasmic Show. I don't think they could out do Disney and Six Flags doesn't have the Studio Talent that Disney has. Maybe they can can cut a deal with Lucas Lights and Magic.

I like how they removed all those ugly tv monitors broadcasting those cartoons and ads. You couldn't see the monitors because of all the glare and scratches on it and the sound system was crap.

AOL? isn't that the same company that merged with Time Warner and also acguired Six Flags at one time? AOL should of put themselves on the list.

Looks awesome, but also looks like it would take forever to load. Would there be several trains/cars running at once?

I heard on KNX traffic report today about 11 A.M. that traffic on I-5 around Magic Mountain was at a standstill. They said a lot of people were going to the park while others were headed out of town.

Maybe they will put a Gondola from the Swiss Twist to the Spin Out and back. The Old one ran from I think from about the Ninja Station to where Superman Escape Also another one was from Ninja area down to where the go carts are now.

CBS is going to have a CSI interactive show. What if CBS also sponsored the Orient Express and turn it into a Scandinavian theme ride based on the "Price is Right" As the re theme Orient Express ascends the Mountain yodeling is played and flags pop up as in the TV show. Of course you couldn't have the ride go over a cliff. Originally the Orient Express was I think called the Funicular. It would add some branding that Americans of all ages can identify with. Maybe the Price is Right could tape a week's worth of shows there. This would also be a cross promotion on CBS television to advertise the new CSI interactive show. Far fetched, but I have ideas.

"enjoy your stay at Magic Mountain" was said just before you got off most of the rides at the park. I don't remember anything said this last time around. Maybe it was, "please exit to your left" and that was it.

There is a tunnel for the Metro, but it's to one side of the Mountain between Superman Escape and Ninja next to that Restaurant. I don't think it's usable for a shortcut to walk through. I do remember getting off the Metro. They would announce, "Stay clear of the opening doors. And enjoy your stay at Magic Mountain" I always got a kick out of that for whatever reason.
