It’s also horrible that they call their own membership upgrade process “complicated”. No one wants to do something complicated. How stupid are they? That’s great they want to simplify it, but they should keep that to themselves until they actually do simplify it.

Green Lantern should be replaced with a Giga.

To be fair to the park, I am sure it is buried in the fine print that some benefits are subject to change. If enough of us complain, they will keep it. Also, they need to have a way to upgrade (aka apply the price of the pass) from the Gold Pass to a membership in the middle of the year if they're going to take this benefit away.

I don't think it's intentional, I think it's just the LSMs wearing down due to lack of regular maintenance. Superman needs a refurb that will get it shooting back to the top. Slowing it only 5mph is not going to lower costs very much.

Is there any way to “upgrade” from a Gold Season Pass to a Gold Plus membership?

Everything is open today except Apocalypse and Superman. Yesterday must’ve been an off day.

According to the survey, there would be no changes to season passes. So I wouldn’t be able to get a Diamond Elite season pass?

So if that’s membership only, what about those of us with season passes? How does that work?

I guess the park expects people to miss that because they'll be blown away by the fresh paint in the DC Plaza area... But seriously, how does any member of management from supervisor all the way up to GM walk by that and not immediately take action?? They don’t walk by it, that’s the issue. I’ve never even seen a custodial employee out in the parking lot. It would take a solid crew of 5 or 6 at any given time to keep the area clean with the high volumes of trash the parking lot sees. They should really invest in it.

It’s so smooth though! Riddler is the rough coaster here. I have never had any kind of head banging on Scream, so I can’t relate to that.

I agree with you on riddler’s Revenge, that ride is just straight up trash, but Scream is probably my favorite floorless. I love the layout and I find it to be glass smooth. Riddler is just headbashing for the whole ride. No thanks.

At least I’m excited to visit the park tomorrow...

Just drove by the park and it looks SWAMPED. Not even noon and already parking in the dirt. Good luck to employees and everyone trying to visit today.

It's been a while, but to their credit, I wouldn't really want them on in the winter months anyway. If it were like USH, where they turn off the water effects in the winter season, I'd be fine with that. They have been off the entire 3 years I have had a membership. No matter the season. You are so negative. They were on this past summer, and they always turn them off when it’s not summer. If you want water, go on Jet Stream which is still open.

You mean December 26th.

It's going to look the same as the other 6. Just another clone of which SF will surely add 2 or 3 more and people will make the same comments. It's a clone. It's funny SFMM is trying to make this a big deal when you're opening the 7th of the same ride. Except it's not the same.

It’s been kinda busy due to BAFF, but the park has been battling it appropriately. This week they have been running 3 TRAINS on TC, TATSU, and VIPER! 3 trains on Tatsu has kept the wait under 30 minutes all day. So it’s been great!

I know it's Six Flags and all, but it's really pathetic that this wasn't open by Memorial Day. They've had since the announcement in September to work on it and it's not like they have weather delays in LA. Plus it's not a prototype either, so it just baffles me that it's taken so long to build. Crazy to think that Twisted Colossus opened on time but a JL clone is so behind schedule. I was thinking the same thing. When I went the whole area was discussing and looked like atleast July. They were having issues with getting permits issued from the city. This delayed ground breaking and progress on the ride building and ride itself by several months. I know a few ride ops and leads in entertainment that have told me that it's looking like the ride won't be up and running with guests until August.

If you get Gold or Platinum, just start one way and work your way around the circle of the park. You'll have very short lines for you. If anything, hit X2 first thing before you pick up your flash pass that way you don't have to pay for the addon. I doubt Friday will be that busy anyways. Have fun!

SFMM is really stepping up their customer service! Check out this email I received because of the high winds when I visited the park yesterday:

We finally have more GOTG Mission: BREAKOUT details! Read below! The following is an excerpt from Themeparkinsider.com:

Will you have a car? That will honestly be your cheapest and best bet. If not, you can take Metrolink or Amtrak from the Anaheim station (by the stadium) up to LA Union Station. From there, you have 2 options. You can either Uber from there (still probably expensive) or you can transfer to the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line and take that to the Santa Clarita station. From there you can either Uber (pretty cheap) or take Santa Clarita Transit to the park. Operating hours for public transit are very limited, especially on weekends, so you may want to check that out ahead of time as well. But really your easiest option would be to have a car, get up early and drive I-5 north straight to magic mountain parkway. Without traffic, you can do it in 55 minutes or less.

It doesn't. It's gonna be the 2005 version.

Why is everyone calling it a loophole? It was designed for the two parks to be separate on purpose. And if you asked Disney, they would tell you it was allowed up until last week. I thought that being able to get the fastpass on your phone, one for each park would've been the primary advantage of having Maxpass. But now that that feature has gone away, what's even the advantage of having Maxpass? Not having to walk 3 minutes to get a fastpass somewhere? I really don't understand.

I've always found Scream to be glass smooth for some reason. A little vibration, but that makes it more fun!! Riddlers always gives me an earache and a headache.
