  1. Theme Park Review was invited to Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest!

    SFMM delayed the media night a week, which would now be the third weekend Fright Fest has been offered.  Finally, after some delay, weeks and even hours last night, their new maze, Truth or Dare opened.  The night started with Spirits with Spirits, a new food and drink option.  "A haunted happy hour with spirits of both natures and devilish treats to die for. Buffet +1 drink included. 6-9pm each Fright Fest night in the West Picnic Pavilion. Additional fee required. Park admission not included."   cost is $59.99 and for anyone who have attended West Coast Bash, they use the same picnic area.

    Couldn't spend too much time eating our first round because we wanted to get over to DC Universe for Unleashed.  The monsters come out in smaller waves this year.  So, it's not just one big parade.  I think I like when they all just come out all at once. 

    CarnivHell is a new scarezone in Bugs Bunny land.   Honestly, it was very lacking in scare actors.  I think there were 3 when I walked through.  Hopefully that changes in the coming weeks.  

    I'm not sure if they are still working on Truth or Dare.  I'd have to guess it's not complete?  There are a lot of blank walls.  But some good scares and it has one of those laser fog rooms.  I think those are so cool visually.   There's a section with a long area of strobe light that completely got me lost for a moment.  I'm still shocked I just didn't walk into a scare actor or the wall.  

    Condamned was my favorite maze this year.  It had the most scare actors inside at the time I walked through.   Aftermath 2 is always fun too because FIRE!  Who doesn't love fire?  :) 

    Anyway, had a Six Flags day!  While Fright Fest doesn't have or doesn't spend the budget as some of the other haunts, I still have fun.  The scare actors are awesome as usual and it's a fun vibe with GP types staying around since you can still experience a lot without doing the mazes.

    Well...was planning a trip for next week...any ideas anyone? Could I make Knott's a half day and do a full day Magic Mountain instead?

    this was today.  not a great time to go if you're trying to ride more than Silver Bullet. LOL  I guess Hangtime had some issues recently and has been down.  But, it was testing this morning.  So maybe that's good news for reopening.   I'm assuming Calico is being changed to the Candy overlay.

  3. Today was media day for Wonder Woman Flight of Courage!  Awesome addition to SFMM's lineup.  Now there are two coasters I will ride every time i'm there. :)   I have not ridden either of the first edition single rails that just look like they are sped up in videos, but I believe this is just enough for everyone.  The front was more violent than the rear, but the rear has the type of airtime I enjoy.  First drop was my favorite in the back seat.  There still seems to be a lot of detail work to be done in the future, but it's ready enough to open, I guess.  

    As you may have heard, Batman's entrance is now the old exit.  Before going up the ramp, they created a new concrete walkway to the original queue.  The stairs still smell the same post closure. lol.  SFMM opened it for media day as well so I got one ride in.  

     

    The new DC Universe entrance looks great.  There is a ton of open space in the plaza area as well as some space surrounding the ride.  The old turnaround area for Tidal Wave is unused dirt at the moment.  There definitely has to be a plan for that land.  Walls are still up in that area.  Anyway, an excellent addition to Magic Mountain's already solid lineup!

  4. here are a few pictures from today, july 12th.  you can see that the loop is gone.  looks like it was plasma cut off.  i think there are two cranes in the area.  since the loop was hacked off, i'm interested in what all will be kept, if anything.  or, will they weld a new loop in place.  there were a couple contracted workers there.  one walking the track and taking some pictures.  see who can decipher the logo on their shirt. LOL.

  5. Theme Park Review was invited to Knott’s Summer Nights!

    Knott's Summer Nights has started!  It will be on select days throughout the summer.

    Ghost Town alive really was alive yesterday.  Knott's seems to have double or tripled the amount of characters walking around the streets.  Characters were seemingly everywhere.  

    I mainly like to come to Summer Nights for the food and entertainment.   I wasn't able to stay too long, but I'll be back to watch some bands play.  I did get to see some of the food offerings this year.  Knott's also provided lunch from Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner restaurant.   Here's some pics and Knott's press release...

    I emailed the park and they confirmed it: Tatsu's paint job is paused until 2022, and the ride will be running until then. 

    I'm absolutely thrilled about this. While I'm not happy that people are falling ill (I hope it's not COVID), I'm really happy that the ride will be open. I'm going with my family (including my daughters, who hit the 54" mark since the pandemic began and haven't been on a roller coaster since that time). So, my wife and kids will get to find out just how crazy that pretzel loop is.

    they probably sent all the guys to knott's to paint xcelerator.  LOL   there's been no shortage of painters there. 

  7. Theme Park Review was invited to the first night of Holiday in the Park.  We received a hot chocolate cup and s'mores kit when entering.  No formal party this year so I didn't get to taste any food.  The lights are excellent as usual.  I'm not sure if the snow was working yet, we didn't see any in the snow zones.  But the snow makers were around the Gleampunk District.   The arch that was in DC Universe is now in The Underground.  SFMM had a decent amount of entertainment actors roaming in the different areas.  A nice touch for sure.  S'more fire pits were in their usual spots...near Santa across from the theater, by Justice League, up near Roaring Rapids and Tatsu, and a new location in The Underground.  Here's some pics...

  8. Theme Park Review was invited to the first official day of Knott's Merry Farm!  You will definitely need more than one day/night to see all the shows and more days to eat all the unique food items.  I was overwhelmed seeing all the Merry Farm food laid out.  There is just so much!  There's also quite a bit of merchandise as well.  I'll probably pick up the water bottle this weekend.   Snoopy Ice Show: Merry Christmas, Snoopy! is back, and awesome as ever.   I believe they are only filling the theater half full, without any social distancing.  So, get there early for any of the shows.  Here's some pics...

    Technically that timeframe is doable considering Cedar Point painted Mantis very quickly, and still even ran it as Mantis with Rougarou's color scheme before they closed for the year in 2014. So it really comes down to how long they want it to take.  Yes I know, different setting, on a hillside vs flat land, and so on.  But realistically, as Bill said, probably a long time considering this is Six Flags.

    at least they have Baynum Painting doing the work.  hopefully they went with whatever coating they used on X2 and this one lasts a long time.  anyway, my point is, they've hired an excellent company.

    With spray, do you have to mask all of the trees and ground for overspray? 

    did you ever notice all the white all over when they painted revolution?  they sure didn't worry about paint spills.  eventually, most of it disappears. lol

    Pony Express is also being repainted, and repair work is finally happening on Hangtime.

    sad i go every day and didn't even know until a friend told me they did.  i looked today and sure enough.  kind of looks like a quikie job, but whatever.  if you listen to some, hangtime was supposed to open tomorrow, then monday.  who knows.  i just know not all of the chain is installed right now.  i'm not sure if you just replace or repair a chain and you open the ride right away or not.  but we have to be really close either way.   i did notice xcelerator not open this morning and just assumed it was just a late opening since i saw a mechanic up there.

    From what I've seen at recent visits to Knotts, it's very common over there. I always chat folks up in the line at the Boardwalk BBQ and there's a crew of locals who go there twice a day just for the meal plan.

    that crew is pretty big, and i'm one of them. LOL  i go nearly every day, play beary tales, then go eat at panda express.   then leave and get some work done.   many times returning to get a second meal.  you just see a flock of the same people rushing in before closing to get food.  LOL

  12. Knott's is selling a lot of the decorations from the 100th anniversary.  It went on sale this morning.  I just wanted a couple things and was able to get them.  The ticket was displayed in Virginia's displays.  I don't think there were that many of them.  The other sign is from the Roaring 20's.  The ticket was $40 and the other K sign was $55.  Total after Platinum discount was $81.89.    I'll also add some pics from a few days before the sale.

  13. Theme Park Review was invited to a media preview of Fright Fest for 2021.   Not so much a preview since Fright Fest opened up last weekend.  Maybe they were still building up staff since  Sewer of Souls was not open last weekend.  We had some food, then heard about the two new scare zones, The Deadzone, and Terror Rising Dark Developments.  As always, the opening of Fright Fest with Unleashed was awesome.  

    The park was jam packed.  Every place I've ever seen them park cars, was used.   I almost parked next to the new roller coaster track.  LOL   I'm not sure what they need to do, but with so many people in the park, the scarezones mostly just became selfie zones with every teenager just wanting pictures with the actors.  Not a lot of room for sliders to do their thing.  The scarezones were just packed of people.  Meanwhile, the mazes weren't as crowded.  If you had an express pass, the waits were nearly non existent which was great.  

    I assume SFMM is still trying to fill spaces in the mazes and scarezones since actors seemed a bit sparse.  But still some really fun times in both.  Here's some photos...

  14. Theme Park Review was invited out to get a construction tour of Sesame Place San Diego.

     

    Slated to open in Spring 2022, Sesame Place® San Diego will be the only theme park on the West Coast based entirely on the award-winning show, Sesame Street®. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from San Diego and 2.5 hours from Los Angeles, this theme park is perfect for families with kids of all ages. The new theme park will feature 7 themed dry rides, an interactive musical play area, and 11 water attractions including a 500,000-gallon wave pool – one of the largest in Southern California. The park will also feature an interactive Sesame Street Neighborhood complete with the iconic 123 Stoop, a live character show, a daily parade, photo opportunities and of course, everyone’s favorite furry friends.

     

    The tour started with an unveiling of the new Sesame Place San Diego entrance sign.

     

    Clint Brinker, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Corporate Project Manager, then took us around the construction site to see where some iconic Sesame Street areas will be.   123 Sesame Place, Community Center and Abby’s Garden, Elmo’s window, Sesame Street Subway Station, Big Bird’s Nest, and Hooper’s Store will all be part of the Sesame Street San Diego neighborhood.

    We also got to see the near completed family roller coaster, Super Grover’s Box Car Derby.

    I wonder if anyone will try and get their money back for season passes they bought this year considering all SEAS parks did advertise these rides opening in 2021. It’s a legitimate argument and borderline false advertisement. 

    it reminds me of SFMM when Superman was supposed to open.  they gave passholders a morning to ride when it wasn't at full strength yet.  then it opened the next year.  but it was a move, imo, to stop people from complaining.  similar also to West Coast Racers.

    they added this on the emperor page.  
     

    "Exclusive Ride Times

    Active Pass Members will be invited to enjoy exclusive ride times on Emperor when it opens in March 2022.

    Pass Members & Fun Card holders who purchased on or after Nov. 19, 2019 and are no longer active at the time of Emperor’s opening in March 2022 will receive the opportunity to ride during a pre-selected time period. Please click here to complete the form to confirm eligibility. Your response must be received by Sept. 30, 2021."

    2 nights of scary farm or 1 with fast lane?  I have most of the credits already and would be focusing on the scary farm stuff

    Edit it would be on October 14th and or 15th since ive got a cruise leaving out of the area on the 16th 

    in 2019, my friend and i did rope drop on a thursday.  we didn't stop to do anything else.  one maze to the next without frightlane.  barely got all the mazes done.  the lines, even on thursdays are still very long.  if you plan to do anything else like, go to the bathroom, or eat, you might not be able to get all the mazes done.  i'd get frightlane and save some time.

    Xcelerator was open all day yesterday.  So if the accident at Dragster didn't force Xcelerator to close yesterday, there is no reason to believe it is closed now because of it.  


    It's currently down right now, likely due to the heat.  I just took a look at the live webcam and Xcelerator is testing.

    it's running now with guests.   it wasn't this morning.  there wasn't a soul around.
