Just curious...what reason is it that they will not let you ride in the back seat alone? This was on NTAG. My wife was a bit sick so she skipped NTAG when we were there Friday, she skipped over train to wait for me. They pulled someone out of the seat in front of me and put him with me.
The park has put into place a requirement that two people must be placed in the back of the coaster in case of an incident. With two people in the back, they will have two sets of eyes.

I got the opportunity to try the new VR this past weekend, and it was awesome! I love the gaming aspect of it, because it makes the whole ride a video game. The graphics are so much better. My highest score was 22,840.

Nice pics!!! Good to see they're getting a move on. To be fair, an S&S Free Fly shouldn't take that long to construct.
I was told to expect to see some big changes to the construction site by the middle to end of Fright Fest.

There seems to be some confusion to where this HOWELL CRANE is located on site at Six Flags Over Texas. This is not a crane used for the construction of the I30 and 360 exchange. It's actually for the new S&S Free Fly Ride as i stated earlier. Here's some more pictures I took last weekend.

Yes, as of last weekend they had a crane onsite and were drilling holes for the supports.

I think an infinity coaster with 18 actual inversions would be nifty
Tear down Viper and put in the World's Largest Larson Looper! Viper's Revenge!

If they were to remove it however, I'd much prefer another large multi-looper in its place than a dive machine. Possibly an Intamin that takes the inversion record or sets some other records like viper did.
Why? Doesn't SFMM have enough inversions as it is? In fact they hold the record for most inversions at a theme park with 36. King's Island comes in 2nd place at 25... SFMM already has 11 MORE inversions than any other park. I'd argue that they should move away from inversions, not get ANOTHER multi-looper cough...ScreamRiddler'sViperBatmanTatsu...cough.
Starting next year, they will actually have 37 inversions as the Flash builds a loop in the JL:BFM Ride. "Loopty Loop coming up!"
But is it really an inversion? Let's argue about that for the next 6 months!
First Rule of The Justice League: Don't question members of the Justice League. If The Flash says hes going to build a Loopty Loop, than you are going to be flying through a Loopty Loop!

Loaded Chicken Nuggets. Chicken nuggets on top of curly fries, with bacon, nacho cheese, and BBQ sauce on top.

Loaded Nachos at Casa De Las Banderas at Six Flags Over Texas!

Something I was wondering after my visit: how long has Shockwave had seat belts?
So from what I understand, the back two rows have always had seat belts, and the rest of the train added seat belts back in the late 80's.

^^ And, exactly where are you getting this info? Or are you trying to be funny.
Mr. Six Flags is a distant cousin of mine twice removed.

Rumor has it, SFOT is getting an RMC T-REX Coaster in 2018! I can't wait!
-
Also Sea World San Antonio is adding a Sea Rescue Coaster. (Not sure of the name)
MOD EDIT: waiting for confirmation
-
There are tons of secret targets and tricks through out the ride. To spoil them, I feel like that would take the fun away from the game. The further the target is way from you, the more points you receive. Shoot constantly and everything. Things you may not think are targets, might actually be.
-
Couple shots from today. (attached)
Just a cleared lot, nothing too exciting, though I do think it's interesting that there are two different heights for the flattened dirt. Anyways.
There's two different heights of dirt, because there will be stairs leading up to the Hall of Justice.

On the Six Flags Magic Mountain website, it says that X2 and Apocalypse are "Temporarily Closed." In some earlier discussions, I saw that Apocalypse may be down for an extended time (?), but do any of the diehards on here know if X2 is now also closed for extended maintenance?
X3 Confirmed!!!!!! #SFMM2017

Casa de Las Banderas is now open at Six Flags Over Texas! They serve domestic and craft beer and margaritas.

I found the location of the new BlackOut haunted House. It's going to be back behind the Sidewinder.

I wouldn't be so sure that this is for a new bumper cars ride for a few reasons: the permit was applied for in December 2015, issued in January of this year, and expires in December of this year. That doesn't sound like something new for next year. The old bumper cars building had been used for a haunted house and was demolished because the city would no longer permit for such use. I think it's more likely that this permit is for a new, semi-permanent building for a haunted house on the old bumper cars site and the label "Bumper Cars" is being applied purely for geography reasons. Finally, the park is listed as the general contractor. It's highly unlikely that the park would build a new ride or the structure for a new ride in-house, but they typically do the haunted house construction in-house. That's my two cents.
The old bumper cars building is gone. It was demolished to put in Catwoman whip. The bumper car site no longer exists. So no you wouldn't put in a temporary haunt on the site because CatWoman Whip is there now. The bumper cars may be being built next door in the Strip Mall. Add them and new restruant and maybe retail and a new indoor queue for the S&S Free Spin going in front of the building.

Oh and for what its worth here is the general idea of how much land has currently been cleared. (marked in red)
The isolated area is where the hillside was slightly dug out next to ThuNderaTion for the construction trailer.
I was told by a park employee this past spring that the back area with Lady Bugs, Happy Frogs, and Wings of Wonder were going to be removed for the new ride. It coincides with your photo.
-
So I'm surprised no one is talking about the pictures released from the B&M plant here. Googling "X-Works" brings up Kings Dominion. I'm not familiar with the park, as I've never been, but has there been any discussion of a new coaster coming in 2017? Is there any land clearing going on?
-
I doubt MM is getting the dark ride and i hope they dont, seems like a waste of real estate impo
I frankly don't understand why so many people are against receiving this dark ride. Sally Corp has done an amazing job and I think its a great addition to any Six Flags Theme park. Yea I know Disneyland and USH are right down the road, but Six Flags is a great place to experience this type of state of the art technology too.

So here is the pictures posted by Jeffrey S. with the caption "Wow.... A great view from the top. You can see so much from up here! #SFFT2017 #FiestaTexas25thAnniversary"
