I was looking on Instagram and found this picture someone took outside of the Total Darkness FF maze. This sounds really awesome/scary! Electric shock devices!?!? Also, NO safe zones this year! Looking like it's gonna be a great year.

^I'm going on the 28th as well.

How about Apocinator or Acrapalypse? Or Branding Renewal: The Ride?

No blackout dates for any 2013 passes, correct. I've heard that today the employees are telling everyone that X2 won't be back open until December. Take that how you want.

^Memberships are monthly payments. You just continually get billed for them until you stop the membership. Was at the park this morning. Apocalypse is open but only running one train, the other was indeed damaged I guess. The park wasn't that busy, as Tatsu only had an hour wait even with X2 closed.

Columbus Day is always extremely dead! It's a really great day to go! Just watch out for all the one train operations.

Well I guess we will all find out August 29th, won't we!? So pumped!

Scream! I chose a great one, didn't I?

^The line actually didn't move that much slower than it does with two trains operating! What would've been a 45-50 minute wait only took an hour with one train. I guess it's since the ride itself is so short!

Guess how many trains Full Throttle was running today! Only an hour wait though, so not too bad.

They could be for Six Flags Magic Mountain. After all, it probably would take them this long to build anything of considerable size for 2014 and get it open by summer.

^Any Gold Pass works. I see people use SFDK ones all the time. That actually might be your best bet! Good idea! But is to FT and then sprint to X2 once you get off and hopefully you shouldn't have to wait more than 30 Minutes for X2.

^Gold Pass is 10 minutes early and Discover is 5 minutes early. I highly recommend heading to X2 first because although the line does shorten on Saturdays in shortens from like 2 hours to 1 hour and that line feels like it moves so slow! On the other hand, YoloCoaster gets about an hour line in the morning max due to the line that looks threatening and because they always overestimate the wait times by 30 minutes. (i.e. the line to the end of the canopy is just short of an hour, not 90 minutes as advertised.) and it usually drops to 30-45 minutes in the afternoons. That is also a much more bearable line that feels like it actually moves. Usually doesn't take longer than 20 minutes to get a Flash Pass.

What makes me the most curious about the FT problem is that he said that the other train will have to go on the transfer for a few days too to fix the part. So then if the operating train has the broken part too, then why are they running it? Also, with that logic, shouldn't they be running both trains until the part comes in?

The day we have all been expecting has come! One train operation on Full Throttle!!!!! So this morning as the park opened the ride was closed and it looked like they were having a problem with one or both of the trains. I went and rode other rides (with no wait) and around noon I walked back to YOLO plaza. One train was running normally and the other train was on the transfer (with NOBODY working on it or trying to fix it). The queue under the canopy (still not done yet) was full and they were advertising a 90-120 minute wait. I guess when they figured out that one train wasn't working properly that it opening with one train would be better than nothing. Good news is that Goliath had 2 trains running (but the 3rd train was nowhere to be found in the area). So yeah, they made it a little over a month before what we all knew was going to happen happened.

Headed over to both parks tomorrow. Gonna use my YOLO exit pass and ride a few rides at Magic then head over to HH for a few hours.

Had a great day at the park today! Good news about YOLOqueue! They are drilling some holes for some stanchions! They look to be almost done drilling and are mainly just awaiting the poles. And some fences have been put up around the entrance for a more clear ride entrance. Another thing I noticed that nobody has commented about yet.... The ride doesn't have an entrance sign!!!!!!

^Its just for gold passes. But the free ticket is only valid on this Sunday, and Sunday, August 25th. So there still might be a crowd. I know of a few people going Sunday.

^Sunday is the Gold Pass bring a friend free day. Might not be a good idea. Last year it was bring a friend free day for all passholders and it was absolutely SWAMPED. The dirt lot even filled up. I'm headed over to the parks tomorrow. Hurricane Harbor first in the afternoon and then Magic Mountain until closing. I'll see if anything has been done and if the Riddler's Revenge is actually getting their 3rd train back. And oh yeah, why don't they just finish the YOLOqueue at night when the park is closed? They could just do a little bit each day. They sure have enough time to put billions of Ads up every night so they must have time to add a real queue.

I'm hearing something about new, updated Riddler's Revenge trains delievered to the park? Interesting...

I think it was scheduled maintainence. Like the could still operate the ride if they wanted to, but they wanted to fix some things to make the ride more reliable. It doesn't really matter anyways. This week is an exception, but in us time of year it's always 100+° here and Lex Luthor won't run at temps higher than about 104.. So they might be trying to fix that problem before the August heat wave.

^No coolers. You can eat in the parking lot if you're willing to walk or ride the bus back there, though.

Just took a new survey and it looks like some flat rides and a water ride for next year? Take it here: http://feedback.sixflags.com/AdvisoryPanel/startsurvey.aspx?s=MC2013& Also, on SFMM's website, it shows that Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom is temporarily closed without a reopening date.

Am I the only one who had a good day at the park today? I got there at 1 and only waited 30 minutes for FT (90 minutes posted). New station cover. And there is music in the tunnel now. It's the Crazy Train audio that was heard on some of the POVs. Also got a ride on Lex Luthor and Riddler with no problem. Then walked up to Tatsu and happened to be some of the first people on after in reopened (1 train running, other train parked on the other side of the station.). Then headed up to Superman. Both sides were running so there was only about a 20 minute wait. Then saw X2 was open so headed down there. Waited 30 minutes and got on. Train #2 is now on the track and smooth as ever. However, there is a strange squeaking going around the large curve to the right in the middle of the ride. It sounded like it was coming from the wheels. It was loud and noticeable while waiting in line. Train #1 (the other one on the track) was not squeaking. Not a bad day. I guess I just had good timing!

^One side of the tunnel is blasting cold and the other side is really hot. They just haven't fixed the AC for one side (the left, I believe).
