Should be packed until April 2nd. April 12th is soonest time I would go for low crowds.

Yeah, they're called Bernie voters.

And six flags has a history of poor decisions, so it's not like skepticism is unreasonable.

I also predict riders will try to take it off during the ride when they decide they don't like it. #claustrophobia

Yeah, because six flags never makes bad decisions Oh I'm sorry, I forgot these were headsets designed by Six Flags! I wonder what that billion dollar electronics brand Samsung name is doing on them? Oh I see. So you think Samsung is forcing Six Flags to use their headsets and that Six Flags was not involved at all with the decision to use the headsets on the ride.

Yeah, because six flags never makes bad decisions. Also, it's possible that the headsets won't cost six flags a dime since samsung is getting free publicity

Perhaps the headsets will be leashed to each car so they cannot fly away

lol good reason to be one of the first riders to ride it, and then never ride it using the headset again

Just got my confirmation for my virtual revolution ride! Got an email at 8:33 this morning offering pass holders a preview ride. Check your email, passholders! I predict a lot of people will get nauseous from riding with a VR headset.

hey i am on page 1,000! couldnt' resist. lol edit: dammit just missed it. anyway, i have not been here for a while. is RMC working on ghost rider?

Snoopy's Ghost Riders?....

You have no idea how lucky you are to live near Knotts and Disney!

Are the great sales always this time of year?

^ No sitting on the bannisters, sir. lol

I wonder if they can design new trains that have very good shock absorbers.

Hi guys. Knotts is selling 2016 season passes for $81. Is this best price I will be able to get? Or is likely they will offer even better prices later?

Great article from today.... http://www.latimes.com/travel/themeparks/la-trb-revolution-six-flags-magic-mountain-20150903-story.html

On June 10th, on page 4429, I wrote, "The least expensive yet amazing modification to Viper would be to change the restraints to the same restraints that Twisted Colossus uses. Heck, they could just build one train and keep running some of the old trains to save money." On June 9th, singmfrc wrote, "Yeah its just a bit rough. It's nowhere near as bad as Revolution, but redesigned trains and/or even just some new more comfortable restraints would make a huge difference. I'm not kidding anyone though, I don't expect any of that..if they can't do it for Revolution they aren't going to do it for Viper."

In 2015, Magic Mountain was open everyday from March 21 thru the summer, and was very crowded from Saturday March 28 thru Saturday March 11. In 2016, Easter is Sunday March 27. If they are open the week before Easter in 2016, the crowds should not be that bad, but I would not book your trip until they actually announce that they will be open that week.

The original Revolution trains had normal lap bars. Why did they later install shoulder restraints? If it was for insurance purposes, than replacing the shoulder restraints with seat belts should do the trick.

That would make a lot of sense actually for RMC to keep working with SFMM right after a spectacular TC debut..... "Hire us to revamp Colossus, and we will throw in new cars for Revolution for cheap!" Actually, they could use the current cars by replacing the shoulder harnesses with seatbelts under the current lapbars.

I would LOVE it if they made new trains that had the same restraints as TC.
