The parking lot scenes were filmed about 30 miles south of Six Flags at Santa Anita Racetrack.

Yes the 2 guys working on Wed the 24th owned the place and got tons of work done and pieces of wood falling from all over the place. I guess when you dont need to worry about people down below crap can get done quicker.

Today the parking lot ended up 3 solid rows into the gravel overflow lot.

So far this morning just a wisp of a breeze perhaps 3mph.Looks like its going to be around 75 degrees today and should be nice. Sunday past heck ya winds must have hit gusts in the 60mph range during the day and sustained winds in 30-40 range it was epic and brutal.

Place was packed. Parking in the gravel or dirt lot. Plenty of buses running to main gate so non issue getting to front of the park from gravel in a timely fashion. Don't forget its a Bring A Friend free Mon-Wed this week the 22nd-24th for season pass holders. Wind came up around 1pm very slight and X2 was still running at 4pm under stronger winds.

It was a very busy day for a Sunday and with the wind and closing of many rides it had to be brutal in the park. It was not a special day meaning no groups or cheerleading just abusy day. It was a good time to see the fleet of Greyhound buses of their 100 year tour..

There is never a bad shot, trust me I'm the king of blur. Thanks for the photo trip report as I see things that I dont see.

Looks like also this weekend is Get free admission to Six Flags Magic Mountain Dec. 6- 7 with a $20 toy So might add a few more people into the mix but heck bring a toy and get in at reduced rate and its for the kids so don't bring a POS toy you cheapo's.

I don't think Saturday the 6th should be to bad. There is a Jamz Cheer and Dance going on all day and gates open at 8:30 am. Even though gates open early i don't think rides will start to function until regular opening time of 10:15. Not sure if you need a special ticket to enter that early so its on you to find that out. As far as Flash or Gold pass I would play it by ear as your just a single and take advantage of single rider lines you just might knock out the park in under 3 hours. Just enter early and beast on FulThro or X2 or Tatsu, or Goliath, really should be good day and seems only discount that day is pass holders can bring a guest for $35 so not a deal by any means.

Over the top Christmas.

Signage still available across from Wascals for Colossus. Oh well 2015 is soon enough.

Johnny Rockets all lanes open 20 deep each line.... Yikes!

Lunch places are slammed and great pizza smells being pumped out.

under cloudy skies

Ninja line about 1 hour wait with one train. Onward I go.

12:30 Tuesday vets day. Pretty good sized crowd still arriving. Might have been 30 workers crawling all over Twisted working hard at base of where 2nd drop was. So here's a pic from inside the bus.

I'm heading to SFMM around 11am. Just going solo so if anyone wants to join me send me a message and you can be my "plus one". Won't be taking pics of Twisted as looks like everyone else has already. Weather is slight overcast and might be slight mist.

How are the crowds today? I am taking my kid there tomorrow, and hoping for Sunday lite, but worried due to holiday weekend. Thanks. Its Saturday 2:50 (about) California time and I just got home from SFMM. Its about 90 degrees and not a cloud in the sky nor a wisp of wind. Tons and Tons of buses with Friday Teen night (on a sat?) event, Choral Magic group , and Life Teen group . Not many families with strollers but all these teens in pockets of groups just being teens. Superman seems down and I never saw X2 running but doesn't mean its not. Sunday the weather should be the same and another Special event called Dance Fest and unsure how many this group brings. Park is open limited hours until 6pm and overall should be low attendance day . And I don't think this is considered a Holiday Weekend as SFMM is closed Monday but open Tuesday.

Please don't be that guy and jump the line in parking lot to hop onto the bus as that guy Mr driver don't play that game. As he don't got time to L.E.A.D. (Listen – Empathize – Apologize – Direct) Trust me as I'm that guy.

Are the lines long for X2 and Tatsu? Trying to gauge the average wait time. Last time I was there on a Saturday (2 weekends ago).... they were 90-120 minute waits each!!! :/ Tatsu was about a 1 hr wait quite some time ago, Cant recall if I even saw X2 running not sure if it was. No waiting for Orient or Grand Carousal.

Just got home from SFMM and pretty good sized crowd but lots of family's with little kids. I would guess most of those family's wont be staying for FF but might just be there to Trick or Treat in Bugs world with Bugs and Daffy, which concludes at about 4pm. If your not going for the mazes then the park should be doable as it is a school night. The wind was up this morning and not sure if it limited any rides from opening but the wind has since died down. I'm going to head back to SFMM around 8pm and do the 3 mazes up front, Toyz, Reds, and 666 then funnel cake and close out the night at the Golden Bear with Suzy Haner. Hunt me down if you make it by.

This is slightly off topic, but is there an efficient way to get from Burbank airport to Valencia? We were just going to Uber/Taxi there, but if there's another (cheaper) method, I'm willing to do it, as we did not want to rent a car. Good gosh rent a car son Hotwire has em for under $15 and Burbank is sweetest place to rent and drop off cars.

I don't think it will be overly crowded for the rides ... but .... there is a Cheer Squad qualifier for a thing called JAMZ and I think they come to park earlier then the sun coming up so perhaps the parking lot might be a little busy and being there at 9:50 wont get you front row but should still be good. IT should not be to crowded and most the cheer squads will be focused by the cheer moms on their performances.

SATURDAY WAS OFF THE HOOK P A C K E D !!! MUST HAVE BEEN 100,000 PEEPS IN THERE. CARS WERE PARKING IN FILLMORE (WELL THEY WERE PARKING AT NEW SUNKIST BUILDING) .... IT WAS PACKED BUT FUN AT SAME TIME. I PITY PEEPS THAT WERE FIRST TIMERS AND MIGHT NOT HAVE GOTTEN FRONT OF THE LINE MAZE PASSES. THROTTLE PLAZA WAS PLACE TO BE AT SAME TIME DC UNIVERSE HAD THE NUMBERS.

The way it works is that you buy your discounted season pass online, print the receipt and head off to the park (tell the parking guy that you'll be upgrading to gold and they'll let you park for free). Trust me, Trust me, Trust me Your getting no parking from the parking guy at toll gate until you either pay cash or charge or present your gold parking season pass. Showing your piece of paper is nothing until it has been processed and that covers parking. Your best bet is allow some time and pull into guest pick / up drop / off area and drop a person off and have them go get their gold season pass and come back to car and let that person then go take the car and park it in parking lot while the other person gets their season gold pass and meets you back at a predetermined area.
