Doubtful....

Aside from having a few rules, they probably provide an excellent education experience. Pensacola Christian College. http://www.pcci.edu/ http://www.pensacolachristiancollege.com/rules.htm ------ The bolded ones are more ones that I laughed at than anything else. I can't help but laughing at the expense of this college. But what do you think of this? Are these people crazy or is this justified in some way?

No, I liked the performance of the actors and the questions they asked...and everything. It was the best part of my visit that day. I mean, I could have been riding Goliath and other rides that had no lines, but I was enjoying CSI: Live instead because it was pure awesome!!

I actually liked CSI: Live.

I got a question for all you Six Flags Magic Mountain regulars, like myself: Do you ever feel sick (or tired) of riding these same rides all the time (at Six Flags MM)? Today, I really felt bored at the park. I think I need to spend more time hanging out in the park, simultaneously riding rides and enjoying myself and the company of my friends; and less time rushing from ride to ride like I did today and in the past. X2 was great. So was Tatsu and Deja Vu. But riding Scream!, Batman, Riddlers...ugh........ I really did not enjoy riding them like I use to in the past. They were all boring. Maybe its because I know the track layout or I don't get any "butterfly feelings" in my stomach... I dunno...

Today was a not so special day at the Mountain I arrived the earliest ever in my life - 9:30 AM. Waited for the hour. Watched all the teenagers cut in front of me in the gate line.. haha... From my observations, it was CROWDED. I'll get into this later. I found out that Ninja was closed. I was anticipating that it was going to be open. I still haven't rode Ninja since 2005 (so my Ninja drought continues...on). Ride Count and order: Tatsu 1x Deja Vu 1x Terminator 1x Riddlers Revenge 1x Batman: The Ride 1x Scream 1x Colossus 1x Goliath 1x X2 2x Not my best day at the Mountain, at all, but I was able to ride X2 twice in a day for the first time in my life (the lifetime of "X" included). Scream! was operating with ONE train. The line went beyond the l.ockers...this was my observation after I got off (around noon almost). The line when I entered was just after the lo.ckers (about midway up the steps). Goliath ran two trains. Everything was running efficiently and I was impressed especially after my wait in the station for Riddlers... Riddler's Revenge's operations were horrible. Very inefficient. I had about a two train wait and ended up spending about 15 minutes in that station before I was able to even get in the train and start the ride. Deja Vu: agh! I hate no preferred seating. I didn't get my row 16 this time. I was too afraid to ask for it as the RO said something along the lines of fill in rows 5-7, so I chose one of those rows. Terminator: They made us watch the preshow even though I was like one of the first few trains dispatched for the day. They were running trains with a lot of empty seats. The sound/audio wasn't working in my train btw. Ninja was closed. X2 closed down (due to wind). .. I don't think it opened at park opening. I somewhat laughed at all the people who ran to X2 first...as they had to wait in that line and listen to how the ride isn't open yet. I just went past them and headed to Tatsu. Back on point: I arrived at X2 at about 1:20 PM. In about 3 hours I was able to ride all that you see above excluding X2. I waited until 2:30 for X2 right by the Panda Express. Once they opened up the ride, I was able to be one of the first people on the first train dispatched. I rode it again after that as there was no line (or a very little line compared to the usual line). Viper had A RIDICULOULSY LONG line because of X2's closure (or because it was CROWDED). The line was going out of the entrance (you know, before you walk up into the first floor of the station's building. They were making use of switchbacks in the first floor too! All the way down that walkway, out of the entrance where it says Viper with the Viper logo. I skipped it. I'm sure the line died down...but still, that had to be at least 30-40 minute wait (at the least) for Viper...Viper??? Revolution HAD A LINE too. While I was at Panda Express, hoping that X2 would re-open... I checked on Revolution's line... and was shocked that 1: it had a line, and 2: the line was going down the pathway.... probably like a 20 minute wait.... Umm, no..... Anways, after waiting about an hour for X2 to re-open... as it did, I rode X2. The first time, I picked one of the middle rows and experienced the roughness that led to my legs being thrown against the seat, train (after the second raven turn). That hurt, but I'm use to it. The second time, I freaked out because I thought my car keys and cell phone were about to slip out (before the raven turn) of my pocket. All this encouraged me to take my head off the headrest....so After that last raven turn, X2 exploited my vulnerability and BEAT ME UP a little by slamming my head against the headrest. I have a mild headache right now. ---- Oh yea, in closure... some dudes were smoking weed right after I got off of Deja Vu. I just shook my head...that is stupid. And I saw a lot more track of Mr. Six's DanceCoaster. I left the park at 2:50 PM. -- All the rides with inversions made me sick (excluding X2). I really hope 2011 is something that Mark Shapiro likes. If you recall, Mark Shapiro's favorite ride in our park is Goliath...he's big on drops and doesn't like inversions. Let's hope his preferences play some sort of role in what Magic Mountain has in store for everyone in 2011.

I've only waited one time for this ride. Every other time I ride it, I ride it first for the day to avoid lines and to be able to select which row I want. I like row 16.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be staggered. It could be like Raging Bull's trains (SFGAm). I'm not suggesting Six Flags MM make an investment in new trains anyway. I remember someone was talking about this in the past in this thread to.... I was just wondering whether you guys think it would make a difference for "our" Goliath in terms of the experience. For me, I think it would. But it's not worth. I've been enjoying Goliath for the past 10 years and its my favorite roller coaster of all that I've ridden (btw I've only ridden 1 hypercoaster--that's Goliath). Anyways, I hope 2011 is something really big! Cheers.

^^^ Nice suggestion, EBL. I bet if "our" Goliath had trains like the one's typically found on B&M manufactured hypercoasters, that could make a bit of a difference. I don't really like our Goliath's trains personally. I feel like I'm sitting down in a box. Meanwhile...trains like these: http://media.cfpl4.cedarfair.com/canadaswonderland/behemoth/images/rendering_train_3d.jpg

I'd probably hit up most Six Flags parks even America...although I only listed one. I'm definitely going to take a road trip, maybe after I graduate. I want to visit SFGAdv the most, but also SFoG in addition to those you mentioned. I really want to see how much better SFGAdv's and SFoG's Nitro/Goliath a re than ours as people say. I'm all coasters as well, man.

Being that I've only been to two (Knotts and SFMM) parks.. These are my favorite rides.... Favorite Steel - Goliath Favorite Wood - Ghostrider (circa 2000-2002) Hypercoasters are my favorite types of rides because I love drops and these rides don't have inversions (inversions tend to give me a headache over a course of several re-rides). I'm hoping I can get a better hypercoaster/giga coaster near me someday soon (2011, I hope) even though I know Six Flags Magic Mountain can use something else before having another similar type of coaster. i'm just a spoiled kid for living near MM during the years they had rollercoaster after roller coaster (1997-2003)

Stop it...stop it... I can't take it. 30 minutes for Revolution? Wow..... I've never seen lines get this bad ever. Thanks for sharing, man.

Oh My Goodness...... That line for Superman..........

Speaking of opportunities to travel to parks one never been to before... I'm looking forward to taking a road trip one day...and visiting these parks.... from what of I can think of at this moment. I've been going to Magic Mountain yearly since 1999 and I've never been to other parks....aside from Knotts and Disneyland... so CP Six Flags Great Adventure Kings Dominion Kings Island (w/ Son of Beast open... ) @ austinlee, right off the bat, what would be your top 4-5 parks you'd visit if you had the chance aside from CP?

Yeah, I wonder why MM has kept theirs The ride is always operating when I visited the park multiple times a year starting 2003. Were the other ones more prone to downtime than the one we have? I always thought about this. Glad we still have ours though. But I don't like waiting in line for this ride. The wait time in line from my experiences is as long as X2's in the summer time. Even though X2 is more popular. That's a capacity issue right there.

I like lockers. XD

I would never wait that long for Tatsu. That line always gets long in the early hours, because people think it is strategic to get off X2 and go to it next. But I bet later on in that same day, the line was a lot shorter. It usually always ends up that way from my experiences.

This is so cool. If I had an iPhone or Touch I would definitely download this. But then again, I don't think I would even take my iPod Touch or Phone if I had one....to the park. Wouldn't want it slipping out of my pocket or getting wet on the Rapids.

Hey guys, As far as all the roller coasters are concerned, SFMM being in a tie and all with Cedar Point, which park has the better rollercoasters? I just took the time to look at the rides at Cedar Point.. .Aside from the unique ones (Maverick, TTD, MF)... nothing that special like my friend from Ohio says it poo poos on my park. I thought CP would have a flying and floorless coaster, for one. I still can't wait to go to Cedar Point one day though. I'm not trying to be biased... Cedar Point probably is a better park than SFMM especially with flats and stuff, but from a roller coaster standpoint...I think our park gives them a run for their money.

^^ An hour for Goliath... ..damn that sounds pretty crowded. The most I ever waited for Goliath was over an hour. That was before Deja Vu and X opened.

I have spring break this upcoming week. I don't know if this is the last week of adjacent schools' spring breaks... but I'm probably going to head up to the Mountain on Tuesday. Then I plan on going with some of my roommates and friends that April 16, I was talking about. I sure hope there is no event that day. My roommates never been to the park and never rode a roller coaster before for that matter.

I plan on going to the park on April 16. I hope it ain't crowded.

I love my Deja Vu. Sorry to those that lost theirs.

If you guys had a say in the next big roller coaster Six Flags Magic Mountain were to get, what would you suggest or want? I honestly would like a roller coaster that is hydraulically-launched, a lot more intense than Superman. (Superman's acceleration is not intense to me at all.) Other than that, I would take a B&M or Intamin AG hypercoaster with a steep drop (I wish Goliath had a steeper drop) and more airtime.

All from Six Flags Magic Mountain: Psyclone Flashback It's kinda, a bit too late to get these credits. I had many opportunities in 2004, 2005 to ride Psyclone. Didn't because my friends didn't want to. Could have ridden Flashback in 2001, but was told and discouraged from riding it because my friends said people were "killed on it from the excessive headbanging." Found out that was a lie...
