Thinking of going to WCB but its kind of pricy considering I already have a season pass. How long are the lines for the ERT when I do juicy fruit/ season pass type ERT the lines are usually a 1/2 hr which means 1 or 2 extra rides. If its exclusive to TPR where the lines are 5 min or so I mite be tempted to go.

Usually they take out one train at a time. It all depends. If something like the infamous chain lift on x2 breaks that would require the whole ride down. They usually rotate what they take down so if anything one ride mite be closed. I think your list is definently doable. They do close the watersides that time of the year. If you are only coming once you may want to budget a fast pass. I'd go regular since the lines aren't going to be that long then you can have rerides ((You make a reservation and then go in the regular line. When you are done in the regular line go in the fast pass line.

I don't get why everyone gives Magic Mountain such a hard time. I have been there and RAREly experience something that ruins my day. I have a season pass and there was an employee who accidentally said fuck you on the mic. Yes there are minor annoyances. I rarely see trash on the floor but when I do I understand that there are Thousands of Visitors every day many of which are teens. The Bathrooms are not clean by the end of the day but so are airports or public bathrooms on the side of the road. I've seen a lot of employees who really care and go out of their way to make it a wonderful day. We went to Huricane Harbor yesterday and there was several employees who were taking it on their own to create separate lines for the Blue / Orange / Black Snake Summit so they could run max efficiency at the BONZI pipelines. The ride opt had the biggest smile and was thanking people for being patient and telling some really funny jokes while the ride was down for 5 min for maintenance to fix it.

Thought I'd give an update: Yesterday My girlfriend and I went to Hurricane Harbor. We got there around 10:40 and it easily took 20 min to get in. (I Unfortuantely hit traffic so I didn't get to get in early with my Gold Season Pass. We immediately ran for the Gold Qbot Fast pass. Since we had season passes it was only $40!! (Sarcasm) but honestly it was worth every penny. They put a 10$ extra old on you card to make sure you return it. Then we reserved Tornado. The line for the first hour of Fast pass is set to 0 So we ran reserved tornado and then went on the bamboo mats. as well as the Sidewinder. We got to jump all those rides lower queues with no wait for the first 1hr. 11:30 we got off and reserved the family raft. It was a 20 min wait by then but we reserved it near Tornado so by the time we went to the bathroom and got a drink it was time to ride. Then we picked up our Raft (I purchased the Season Raft Rental add-on for $35. Which makes a lot of sense since I have gone already 5 days this season) As the day progressed the lines grew longer and longer. Eventually Tornado and Bonzi Pipelines Reached 1.5 hr waits for people w/o gold passes. Our time was 40 min which was a perfect amount of time to grab lunch or play in the wave pool while we waited. Sincerely beat waiting in the hot lines cause we were able to play in the "no wait ' attractions although there was hardly any toom to float on the lazy river. We had lunch around 1:30 and they had Hawaiian Pizza for a change which they let me get with my Season Dinning Pass. We ended up up going at 5pm (It was cold and even rainy) and returning our fast pass and our Raft and they gave us 2 free medium drinks for returning our raft. ( I guess since they didn't do a cash deposit any more since they have the raft pass it would be possible to profit from it). We decided to hop on over to Magic Mountain for the Hypnosis show. For those of you that don't know Magic Mountain usually books a girl by the name of Suzy Haner. She is amazing and has you shiting your pants your laughing so hard. But Suzy was away preforming else ware so they booked a guy by the name of KERRY SHARP who was horriable. He took 25 min of his hr show hypnotizing them and left the audience bored. By the time he had them hypnotized many in the audience have already left. (Id say 35%). AVOID HIS SHOW AT ALL COSTS. I Stayed for another 15 min and his jokes weren't funny.

^^ Great write up. I have been before (We have season pass). I just never used the fast pass. We usually go earlier in the season or on weekdays. Do they scan it at the bottom or at the very top? I was wondering if you can have it scanned at the bottom immediately put in another ride while your waiting that 5-10min. Edit: NVM I See you have to scan it at a kiosk vs the one at MM. Still not sure I'll get it. I wonder if their is a discount on fast pass for Season Pass Holders.

I'm not sure how many fit at DOD Zumanjaro but the Single line here at Droop of Doom is usually the least crowded wait since you go straight to the merge point. thru the exit. (And the exit queue is in no way near as long as other ones like Green Lantern. Darn I got to get in shape before attempting to use the EXIT line for single riders.

I agree they should have a mid size attraction. I have been a fan of the Sierra Sidewinder at Knots. They have one that I know of in their chain (Ragin Cajun) where its a spin you around while your going on a track. I think it would fit perfectly in the Deja Vu Spot. (Which isn't very big for a typical coasters footprint.) Maybe they should break a record like worlds largest farris wheel.

I don't remember wind seeker but the last time I went to knots was probably 9 years ago. In other news how long do you think it will be for Green Lantern & Ninja to reopen. I really enjoyed Ninja even though I was suppose to be at the park that day and I normally take my last ride on Ninja (with my little nephew) before we go right around 5:15.

Hello with their annual announcement right around the corner I'm curious as to what you think is coming? I believe 2016 we will see iron closses because it will be so big it will probably take 2 years to build. I do believe we will get something smaller. My bet is in Deja Vu or Swashbucklers spot. (Since Swashbuckler has been abandoned since January.) I would like to see some new additions to Huricane Harbor in way of beautification and maintenance. The last time I was there a few weeks ago Black Snake summit slides were all closed. There ewas one side of the Tiki slide closed as well as 2 of the white slides next to the Bonzi Pipelines. As well as one more of the raft rides sides. This significantly makes it longer ride times. Id also like them to redo the bathrooms but Six Flags can't market that like a new coaster.... even if it needs it.
