I rode green Lantern on Wednesday and noticed two odd things. The first while in line they kept sending empty trains for about 15 minutes I had no idea what was going on. Then when i went on the ride, while waiting to be unloaded, the train behind us came in with one of the sides upside down and it seemed that they were having trouble correcting the rotation of the trains whenever they would rotate one side back to the correct position the other would end up upside down. In my opinion it seems to me that the crew are still getting used to the operations of this coaster and this may be the cause for the "break downs" and delays. This is all my opinion though from what I observed on my visit.

Hello I just got home from my to MM for FF had a blast. My friends and I went from Friday till Sunday, did rides friday night, mazes saturday night and rode some rides sun morning before heading back home. To point out I also saw the TPR shirt guy on mu sunday trip so heres another shout out to you MR. This was the best thing at area 19 I thought this sign looked awsome at night never had really paid attention to it Me just having fun Shot close to termy as you go down the hill from tatsu I love these tombstones i think they are really funny and another and I had to take some awsome X2 flamethrower pics as i left the park NICE!!!

Alright im reporting in as i will be making the 5 hour drive down to LA for fright fest and some friends and I will be down there until sunday, yes we have been waiting all year and here we go I LOVE FRIGHT FEST hope to see some of you around

^^ well i guess its oficiall tomorrow maybe we will see the finalized version of the video that was leaked

It seems six flags MM is officially announcing the new coaster tomorrow on their facebook page they said "Epic announcement tomorrow...here's a clue. 18 is so big, it deserves a crown!" so it looks like it will be official tomorrow

^ I think its worth it. We are taking a trip down there for 3 days just because of FF. Last year i went and i just loved the experience. The park is transformed to a totally different place especially at night. And riding X2 close to midnight is amazing. But overall alot of fun at the park.

sorry to diverge from the current discussion but i was wondering if anyone here is going to fright fest i hear alot of talk about it but very few state if they will be attending. As for myself i will be down in LA from the 22-24 and six flags will be the main atraction for 2-3 days so i hope i get to see some of you there

^ seriously cause i was there on wednesday too and i didnt hear anything. I actually took a nap for a while right by the frozen lemonade stand under superman, what time did you see the testing?

Hi everyone, ill be heading to the mountain tommorow and i was wondering how packed it is on a wednesday in july? and any tips for my trip would be greatly apreciated. Thanks

Its not super crowded but i would still expect quite a wait for the good rides ie X2 tatsu dejavu, the rest of the park should be ok maybe a 30 min wait. I might go in the next couple weeks. Best days are mon - thurs good luck

I was at the park today as well. There were alot of school kids and more busses than i have seen in a while. Just got home after a 4 hr drive. Most rides going pretty smoth with the exeption of ridlers for me, we waited 20 minutes for 2 trains. The guys seemed to be taking their time and not really into it. All other rides great, got to re-ride terminator could have gone more but my friends wanted to leave. Overall good visit.

Hello everyone, im thinkin of going to magic mountain on monday the 24th, any idea on the crowds that day, do you think its a good idea? any help is apreciated thanks

hey everyone im thinkin of going to MM this month, im thinking the 23rd for my bros birthday (good excuse to go huh!) so you think thats a good day? its a friday

cool i had not seen that, thank you

Does anyone know the reopening dates for dejavu and ninja?

yea i saw that too, i think its just cleaner, they probrably gave them a good cleaning while the ride got painted. It still anoys me though, the colors just dont match it makes it look like the trains dont belong. still love the ride though, it kicks

yes i saw that too when i went on superbowl sunday, quck question: do you think they are ever going to change the color of the batman trains? i think it looks bad now that the coaster is blue and the trains are still gray

^ thanks for letting me know about that deal at panda, now i know where to eat. I love the orange chicken

I would like to come to the defence of viper, it may not be the "best" ride in MM but it still has a pretty good punch for its age, as i was pointing out to my brother as we were about to ride it on sunday, its 20 years old and it may not have a huge quaere line like tatsu and X2 but it still has a decent amount of people willing to ride it or at least more than colossus and revolution which in my opinion are more "rough" and i still enjoy at least once every visit. I generally love all the rides in MM and would hate to have any taken away. If hey were to do anything they could always use the area once occupied by flashback and build from there, we all know coasters take allot of space up in the air but the area once accupied from flashback could be a decent launch station and build up and around other areas.

Hi im new to TPR and this is my first post, i was a SFMM today and it was more crowded than i expected, still had time to ride all the major rollercoasters though especially X2 in row #1 , overall i was disapointed when i found out the park closed at 5 instead of 7 like it said in the web site but still had fun. I also saw a guy in a TPR shirt on when i went onto sky tower, thought it was cool since ive been a long time reader and decided to register today.
