Agreed. Smart move to have a recovery year and up the infrastructure of each park. Sea World and Six Flags have previous year coasters to open next year, otherwise I'd imagine they'd be doing much the same.

^ Yeah, about that "boring" B&M. Knott's is one of those parks that could use another capacity machine.

Happy 50th anniversary to Magic Mountain! Hard to believe it's "only" been 50 years. Seems like this park has been around forever...

But that's a big "if", especially after an economy shifting pandemic. Raptors are far more sustainable for the foreseeable future.

Damn....how many times is Great America going to be denied a hyper? If they don't want to spend that much...the hyper idea may be done. Gerstlauer Infinity instead?

Tells someone to keep politics out of it. Procedes to add politics. Typical As for SFMM, they're going to follow what is required by the state... At least on paper. So your shove it comment is misplaced.

^ Agreed. That would have been perfect. I never liked the countdown, as it hardly ever synched with the boat after the first few years.

I have to say, well done Universal. I really liked it now that it's actually finished lol

Six Flags Magic Mountain @SFMagicMountain THRILLS ARE BACK! Six Flags Magic Mountain will be reopening WITH RIDES on April 1&2 for Members/Passholders and daily April 3 to the general public! Tickets & reservations will be available online to California Residents only #TheThrillIsCalling #ThrillCapitaloftheWorld 6:13 AM · Mar 18, 2021

Guess I was wrong. California theme parks to open April 1st. Limited capacity. https://abc7.com/travel/california-to-allow-theme-parks-to-reopen-at-reduced-capacity/10391723/

I actually predict the park will indeed open in June/July. So they are looking for any kind of revenue between now and then.

Nope. I never really got the appeal. Love the ride though.

They might as well start hyping things up. No way in hell theme parks will tolerate being closed another summer.

^ I second everything you said.

LOL...yeah I don't get it either, especially if you don't live in the area/have no intention of going anyway. I guess it should also be mentioned again that this is FREE for memberships!

It's really not. 2 hamburgers at Carl's Jr cost me $20. There is not too many things I can think of to do in 2020 that cost less.

I so am going to do this!

I'm gonna go ahead and say it. 2021 will make us long for the good old days of 2020.

Honestly, no. Go back and look at the announcement video for West Coast Racers.

I think it's the opposite actually. When's the last time anyone here cared how many coasters SFMM has? It's something my non enthusiast friends may mention while walking up to the park. I couldn't care less. That said, Tidal Wave and Jet Stream are toast!

Wow. Those wait times are brutal. Still, here in Cali, we'd take it.

Let's face it...these people don't know anything about theme parks and have an old fashioned, outdated outlook on how they run. I think they picture things going on at parks that simply aren't happening, such as a crowd of a thousand people all standing in the same area (like an outdoor concert). And they're too elitist to spend more than 5 minutes thinking about it (and I don't mean politically, but socially). An outside source will need to intervene for this to change. At 25 percent capacity? I feel safer at a theme park than my own home sometimes.

If people would say , “The capital originally intended for CGA was repurposed for KI instead”, that makes more sense. But saying a coaster went to park A instead of park B... there’s absolutely no way any of us could even know that, and seems far less likely.

Yes, it would have. Orion plus Railblazer? You'd hear no complaints at CGA

Any updates from around the park? I rag on SF sometimes, but I so miss this park!
