Can't really answer why the park runs one train but I can speculate. -Don't care about the ride -mechanical issue / restraint issue -Park pulls two trains for maintenance and forgets about the trains all summer -Park falls behind on maintenance for other rides and Scream not being that popular is stuck with 1 train operation. -Another park borrowed a train similar to Great Adventure borrowing one of Riddlers trains for a few years (this is unlikely but possible) -Oh and did I mention the park doesn't care about Scream Unfortunately that wont happen and Scream is average at best it wasn't even supposed to go to Magic Mountain.

Which rides have given you greyouts?

You mean the MCBR then yes, Goliath always slows to a crawl on the MCBR. -
^I know you didn't ask me but Freefall was dismantled in February of 2008 and stood non operational from 2005-2006. So the park was without a drop ride for four years. Personally I enjoy Lex Luthor: Drop Of Doom more only for the height and the sway from Superman but Freefall was a pretty awesome drop ride when it operated. Just my two cents.

^Hopefully this helps answer some of your questions. X2, Tatsu, and Full Throttle are all good candidates for single rider lines. Yes the lines can be some of the longest during Spring Break. This is simply an estimate - X2, Tatsu, Full Throttle, Superman (one side), Riddlers Revenge and Goliath 1 hour + wait (could get up two hours) Lex Luthor, Green Lantern, Apocalypse, Batman, and Superman (two sides) 30 - 45 minute wait + Viper, Revolution, Goldrusher, Colossus, and Scream walk on - 20 minute wait + Since your going on a Tuesday I don't expect the lines to be too bad although they can vary day by day. Also the general wait times above where based around wait time from April of last year. Some of the wait times above could be shorter or longer. Also note that Colossus and Batman could be running backwards during your visit and could result in longer lines. Batman 1 hour + and Colossus 30 - 45 minutes (If the rides are running backwards) Hope all this helps!

Expect the park to be pretty crowded, holiday weekends tend to be more crowded then normal weekends. Expect most of the major coasters to have an hour wait or more depending on the crowds. Yes there's been some activity in the water park but nothing too noticeable. Mostly preparation work for where the Bonzai Pipelines are going.

Nothing major just preparation. Red - Will be demolished or already demolished. Light Blue - Could possibly be demolished Purple - Ride relocation (ride is moving over by Road Runner Express) Green - new coaster 19 (don't quite now where its going but somewhere inside the green area) Ride relocation Concrete already poured for the ride relocation.

No way a roller coaster would replace the Sky Tower and the museum was removed a little over 3 years ago. What if it's a Poler Coaster? An observation deck at the top with A/C and another coaster credit? First of its kind on West Coast. Thanks for the info about the museum! Great idea but unlikely considering the cost. Maybe a small 100-150 ft. version but still those Poler Coasters don't come cheap the building is a large portion of that cost. Also I don't see Six Flags corporate spending that much money on a coaster/observation deck, but again great idea although I think this type of ride is out of a lot of parks budgets.
