1.Banshee 2.Alpengeist as i remember, it's been a long, long time since I've been there, maybe 15 years? 3.Silver Bullet 4.Raptor 5.Batman the Ride Haven't ridden Montu and haven't been overseas yet. -
X2 requires an upcharge and is only available on Gold or Platinum. YOLOcoaster and Superman do not require an upcharge, but you must get Platinum in order to use Flash Pass on them and you may only use it once per ride. My guess is that Twisted Colossus will have the same restrictions as YOLOcoaster and Superman for the first year or so (that's what Goliath used at SFGAm), then it will become unrestricted once lines shrink to a manageable level. It's possible the park could have no Flash Pass at all for the first couple months (I believe they did this on YOLOcoaster), but as capacity should be reasonable for Twisted Colossus and that ride would be the main reason to purchase Platinum over Gold I'd be a little surprised if they did that. It's also possible they could charge extra for Twisted Colossus, but I'm guessing they'd end up making more money by not upcharging the ride. Yes, in this thread, a few pages back. Here's a clear breakdown of the rides that are not "normal" flash pass use: X2: Unchanged, still an upcharge, requires Gold or Platinum. YOLOCoaster: No longer an upcharge, but requires Platinum. Superman: No longer a normal Flash Pass, now requires Platinum, but no upcharge. Twisted Colossus: If they follow the same pattern as they did when adding YOLO, and Lex Luthor, it will be a $15 upcharge reservation with Platinum required. What I'm not sure of and haven't seen confirmed is how exactly theyre doing the "one per day" restriction that I've heard there is with YOLO and Superman. Ideally they just program your QBot device to allow one use, but they might be using boarding passes, reservations, or just marking off your wristband in some way. when i went to SFGAM, yeah they programmed into the qbot 2 rides on Goliath. Luckily, it was changed to two before I went from the one ride. also, not sure if it can be done at Magic Mountain but what the girl did for me at SFGAM was, i bought the two for one gold with the gold season pass, then upgraded to platinum. saved me one regular priced gold pass. it's the only time i've ever bought a flash pass, so excuse me it that was just a normal trick.

me too, it looked like a definite highlight. but i'm assuming/hoping it will be a brake just for emergency only and for the most part not even used. the lifts have already been said to be able to sync the trains, to a certain extent, which is why if there's a brake here, i think it's just in case the previous train hasn't left the lift yet.

in the video, it twisting into the lift. there's no long flat section. plus it's low to the ground, which it is not now. obviously small differences, but it looks to be a train length of flat track before the lift. that part looked like it would be a great diving element, but now it looks like it might be half of what the video shows.

I agree with you in that I would still go and I would still enjoy myself, but I would enjoy myself so much more if there was a quality environment around those same rides. I love riding the coasters everywhere, but the day at a park like Cedar Point, KBF, or DLR is more enjoyable overall because there's so much more to enjoy than just the coasters. tl;dr: This is good, but it could be so much better. i get the feedback surveys after every time i go. they are always the same answers. place is filthy, etc. etc. but i'll keep coming because there are some good rides.
