Anyone agree for the next attraction now that we got our airtime machine, is to get a metro or some kind of transport, make an indoor ride like space mountain or a ride that is scary with objects scaring you inside or interacting, re-do Tidal Wave because you don't even get wet on it and make the drop updated to the times, and fix up revolution. How nice would it be to hop on a metro from the main entrance to TC or TC to X or apocalypse without walking forever? I personally would love a transport more than anything next.

I keep coming back to things like this, and others such as "if you're only going to use one station why not have a TTD/Maverick style system where you send out two trains at once?" Then I remember one thing. Six Flags.........Magic Mountain. And then I proceed to move on to what I'm going to eat for lunch. If I were MM i'd make the lines alot shorter and take even more people from Disney/Knotts. If the lines were shorter I'd actually go during Summer time or the weekend, and spend more $ on food and drinks. They would sell more season passes, get people returning more and most importantly make the customers happier. It would just have to be on the most popular rides at least. X, Tatsu, Superman, FT and now TC.

Thanks for the mention of the Six Flags app just installed it. Didn't know it was out. I was using the ride hopper app for ride times only so far.

Check out this old video of Revolution. Look at how fast it's flying! wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ida3FgIcB6E

I think they are waiting for the 4th train to run 3 all the time. I hope the 4th train makes them run 3 alot more. Went to Hurricane Harbor today, cool how the high five is right there watchable. I watched one exactly duel, and another where they were slightly off and some not dueling. They should really know how to duel correctly by now. If it is a train issue then they have no excuse once the 4th train comes. Staffing at Hurricane Harbor was really low. Tornado was closed, the racers, both set of black slides, and at first tiki falls but then that opened and another closed. I was next in line to go down the Orange and yellow Bonzai Pipelines drop when the guy in front of me was very scared and chickened out. He originally waited and wanted to go on the black slide which water was flowing into but they had no lifeguard on the bottom. The lifeguard called to try to get a lifeguard to quickly go to the black slide so the scared guy could go down but was declined. So he was forced to go down the scary slide he didn't want. MM would be so much better if they put some effort in line queues and capacity. They should never be understaffed. They should train extra people who are always on call to come work in emergency. They make so much on food etc to afford to pay for another 10 lifeguards or ride operators. In the past few years they have made huge strides in keeping bathrooms clean etc now they just need to make lines shorter and all available better!

Surprised they didn't have any trouble really during media day and the first weekend besides the polishing of wheels. Is there a Six Flags Hurricane Harbor thread on this site? Anyone know how long the lines at Hurricane Harbor were this past weekend? And estimates for tomorrow? I have a gold pass so I have a baff pass for there. Thinking about going there tomorrow and would be a good idea because it'll only get busier. And are you allowed to use your Magic Mountain souvenir bottles in the water park?

I can see why they painted Scream now, so it looks nice in the background

what's sad is, i pretty much witness line jumping at least once every time i go to magic mountain, including my one and only ride of the day Monday, TC. i wish there was something more than a sign saying what they'd do about it. I saw someone hop the fence to avoid the whole lower queue of Tatsu Tuesday, where you walk under the track coming from ninja. The employee who holds up the line below and tells you to go up was looking in that direction after I looked at her after the guy jumped and she did nothing.

25 times? Awesome. I use the single rider line on that all the time. And maybe the throwing up on Riddler's is the fact that it is no longer smooth like it used to be. It is rough now and I hit my head on it the last time I was on it.

If that's the case, do you mind quoting it so we don't have to go searching? Regarding Revolution, I know a popular SFMM blogger had his ear torn while riding it last week, not sure if that has something to do with it being closed. Maybe it's at that point where they're running into potential lawsuits by keeping it open and will be forced to get new trains. Get rid of the OTSR! I hit my head a few times on them.

How are the lines for the rides this week. Mainly Ghost rider, Xcellerator and Silver Bullet?

Apoc was running 1 train Friday and Tuesday when I went. Revolution was closed Tuesday also. I saw a mechanic walking away from the ride with a box that looked like an outlet plug cover early in the day Tues. Goliath has been closed since end of March.

Paint issue? I noticed that noise on Friday before the high 5. I didn't hear it Tuesday though.

Looking forward to that alot!

taken on Friday

The employee that assigns you which row to go said that this little girl rode it 76 times already. She was there for media day and every day except finally not going today. That is insane. I have ridden it 7 times so far, how many have you guys?

Did you have any friends with you since it was free bring a friend day? If so, were they allowed to participate in the passholder ERT with you or enter the park at 9:30 with you? I used my bring a friend during that March time period. I had a friend but he has the membership. Not sure if friends entering free can ride ERT, guessing no.

Entered the park at 9:35 or so. No one was in line at the gate. Walked to Colossus and the line was just inside the queue. Line didn't move for 15-20 minutes. By the time I rode it was 10:30. So only got 1 ride in ERT. Went back Colossus around 3:30 and the line was just outside the queue. 2 Trains both times. Missed dueling both times. First one the train didn't go fast enough to catch up on the hill so we sped up. 2nd time other train was no where to be found, still at the station. Sat in the very back for the first time and the speed was great and great air time. Sat in the very front the 2nd time for the first time and that first drop that feeling of hanging while you wait to drop is cool. Heard a couple employees answering questions about the 3rd train and one said "the 3rd one is off for maintenance" while another said "we don't have enough employees." Green Lantern was down alot. And revolution was closed all day. Tatsu in the back seemed very slow for some reason. Rode X in the very back and it was the wildest ride i've ever had on that ride. 1 train operation for Apoc and Ninja, even Full Throttle at one point. Went into the Full Throttle line at 4:45 and had to leave the line around 5:30 as it was down for quite a bit while we only moved halfway thru the queue by the monitor in all that time. Around 3:30pm As I was leaving Colossus in the morning this whole family of ducks in line were all walking to ride Colossus! Hilarious!

Anyone know what the pedal does for the operator? Is that to make it leave the station faster or to make it go up the lift hill faster like a computer override?

Has to be Memorial day mostly but I expect multiple hour waits on TC every weekend for a long time. I am going tomorrow to the ERT and I am guessing it won't be more than an hour(during the ert). Weekday and schools still in session. My plan is to get maybe 2-3 rides in ERT that's with me being right at the gate right at opening. Then it should get to at least an hour probably 1 1/2 to 2. But my only plan is to ride it in the morning. If the line is very long go to school or work people! lol. Glad I got in 5 rides Friday. Once summer hits I can't imagine the line, i'll probably only ride it if i'm there at 10:20 or on rainy days(not like we have any of those often). Think this will be open on rainy days?

How well have they been dueling today?

Will this be a weekly thing with the wheels? lol or every few days even.

Did Ghost Rider re-open Saturday?

What I noticed about the bathroom was the air condition felt really good and it was clean. And there was an employee right outside the bathroom keeping an eye always.

Was the sandwich place open today? They were prepping it on Friday. Lots of employees were in there.
