How about they just make the evac elevator a new attraction? No new space required!

Remove it for something better. It's not like Log rides don't require a lot of maitenence. This flume has been around since 1971 when the park first opened. When you think about it, it's remarkable that they've been able to keep it going for this long. Look at what Cedar Point did to their old flume, White Water Landing. Hell, that ride opened 15 years after Log Jammer did. Yet they took it out way back in 2005. It was a popular family ride for sure, and they replaced it with Maverick. But honestly, I'm have no idea what MM has in store for the ride. It's just a rumor at this point in time.

^^I think it's been clarly stated that's not the current direction that the park is going in. How is adding three new coasters with only one family coaster (that isn't even mainly ridden by kids) "family friendly). Magic Mountain just isn't that kind of park anymore and they'll countinue doing what they do best. Roller coasters. It was clearly stated at WCB that they see Hurricane Harbor as the family park and Magic Mountain as a thrill park. Plus, let's not forget that this park has not one, but TWO log flumes, so I don't think taking one out and keeping the other is going to hurt the park's image in the first place. I'm going to respect people not wanting to believe that the ride is going. But like someone else said, only time will tell.

I'd ride it if it didn't cost money. I'd shell out the money to do it one of these visits.

I would like to loose my Skyflyer virginity! Free rides would be much appreciated. Thank you!

And... let's just leave it at that folks. XD

Ok, I have another small thing to share, those cannons might be moved to Jet Stream so you might possibly get wet on that ride.

Bay Area Bands will be happening on Invertigo's grave this year I guess.

I'd like to briefly interrupt the current conversation for something I'm going to quietly say. I'm not going to spoil it for you and it shouldn't be leaked out so obviously perhaps? But I won't make it too obvious so if you don't want to know PLEASE SCROLL PAST THIS POST NOW! Ok, fix you eyes on that slab blob of black text. This ride won't be here next year according to sources that work inside the park. The workers name is to remain nameless. Get your rides on it now. Without further ado, here you go: Log Jammer You never heard anything.

But even if it was that, how would that be unique at all? After waiting five or maybe even six years after their last coaster was built and their coaster is a Dominator clone? That just doesn't speak quality to me and I know Cedar Point wouldn't do that.

Exactly this. But I'm glad the actual family are the understanding ones. They do have a point and it really does give you chills. But then, you get to the stupid, uneducated, and overly dramatic teenage girls and well, the story just goes downhill from there. If you ask me, the typical American teenager is enough for me to worry enough about this country alone.

X was down for the rest of the season and into 2007. It didn't re-open until Spring of 2007 (and it broke in Summer or Fall of 2006). It was down for a REALLY long time! I believe it took close to a year.

Please tear down Mean Streak and build an Intamin woodie. Thank you.

My friend who works at the park has confirmed that the lift motor on Tatsu, has blown out. It probably won't be open for a little while now. You heard it here first.

^Ghetto people in theme parks? *Cough* Six Flags Discovery Kingdom *Cough*

In my recent memory, I can't recall a ride being announced earlier than August for CF (or any park really). So you really can't say there's no chance in early July.

I'm hoping to see better ride crews than what I saw my last two visits. I didn't see any good ride crews except for the Flight Deck Crew. They could use a lesson from Christina perhaps?

I will be heading out to the park tomorrow. I should be wearing a plain red shirt and blue shorts. If you see me, be sure to say hi. Is anyone else going to be at the park tomorrow?

Yet some more good news for the park, perhaps? http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cedar-fair-reports-positive-sales-trends-through-the-fourth-of-july-holiday-weekend-125070544.html

^Whoa! I'm taking a look at those right now!

I never said that Superman an Green Lantern were low quality coasters. I was making a point that they were the largest investments and that compared to certain other parks, I guess you could say that SFMM got a really good deal in being able to advertise 3 new coasters and not have a pay a whole lot of money for those three when compared to other parks. I'll say it again, I NEVER SAID THEY WERE LOW QUALITY! Try, just try telling me that Green Lantern costs more than Superman's revamp did. Do you think anything that the park is adding this year is going to cost more than Green Lantern? Most likely not. While nine million dollars (a large investment) is expected for a ZacSpin, it's still a great deal for a ride that you can really sell to the public. I'm all for it, and I never said I wasn't. The reason I was quoting that person's post was because they were making it sound like it was a huge investment for the park to do those small re-themes/replacements. It's not like everything the park did this year was a major "OMFG LOOK WHAT THEY DID!!!" kind of project. Anyways, hope that makes sense. For the record, I was not trying to turn this into a SFMM vs. CP even though I'm sure it's inviting for the CP/SFMM fanboys that lurk on this forum. Just wanted to get my point across. Yes, I'm well aware. I'm obviously clueless as to how much it costed to completely revamp Superman. I'm sure it's in the millions but NOT as much as GL. I'm glad they made the investment in new cars for this ride as well as repaint it. I never said they went cheap for Superman, but rather altogether(every investment the park's made). Here's how I look at it, if SFMM made all these changes the park this year (I'm talking all the changes I mentioned in my previous post) I'd say about 3 of those were what I would call "major investments. Terminator's transformation into Apocalypse was NOT a major improvement. Green Lantern and S:EFK were. I hope that makes sense.

This is great.

SFMM's descision to refurbish Superman, add Green Lantern (definitely a world class coaster), add Road Runner Express, add DC Universe, add Pistachio Park and Whistlestop Park, and re-theme Terminator to Apocalypse didn't come very cheap. The three new "experiences" alone could probably buy up a 20million dollar ride (something on the scale of Millenium Force), and honestly, GL/S:EFK/RRE/DCU is better. So yes, CP SHOULD buy some good cheap rides! lol Oh my, the Terminator/Apocalypse re-theme must've costed the park SO much! Taking out all of the Terminator theming and replacing it with nothing but crappy pre-shows and empty once-themed areas must've costed that park a fortune! Wait a minute, I'm now remembering that SFMM was FORCED to do this! Same goes for Whistle Stop park. They were FORCED to make they change, and what did they replace it with? Minimal theming and cover ups of the original Thomas Town theming. Huge investment there. Pistachio Park is nice but again was a minimal investment as it's basically a garden with a few signs that focus on Pistachios. A nice place to relax don't get me wrong, but again it wasn't a large investment. DC Universe was actually a decent investment to go along with Green Lantern's theme and it looks pretty good. Certainly a welcome improvement. Road Runner Express? Are you kidding? This is a re-located coaster from New Orleans and all SFMM needed to do was pay for the ride to be shipped to the park. Minimal investment again. Superman: Escape From Krypton was a welcome improvement that turned a crappy ride into a great ride. The launch is better and it actually launches to the top. A real investment, even though it's not a brand new coaster (no new track). Green Lantern is the most this park has invested in this year and it still is less than what the park invested in for the X2 treatment or even the full cost of Terminator when it opened. This is the only coaster at the park that is actually a brand new coaster. So all in all, Six Flags Magic Mountain really went the money saving way and while they can advertise that they changed all these things in the park, it really came a smaller cost then you would think. Sure, it wasn't cheap altogether, but it still was not a lot if you look at all the things they "changed" this year. They really opted for quantity and not quality, while saving as much money as they could in the process.

Well well, a CP Trip Report and the first comment is a message against Millennium Force and there's another one criticizing the park's food as if it's a Six Flags park. Yep, this is Theme Park Review alright. Great Trip Report Steve!

^What was Deja Vu's station music? I've never heard anything in the station aside from the operators spiels.
