Went to the park tonight for the fireworks. I was impressed. The show was long with a TON of fireworks. Multiple finales as the guests would scream and applaud thinking it was over and the show would keep going. Best place to watch is in Full Throttle plaza where you can see the loop as they're shooting them off between the loop and Superman Plaza. They also had a ton of Lazers covering full throttle plaza and six flags plaza. Shows are at 9:15 tonight, Saturday and Sunday although the show was 10 minutes late tonight.

Looks like Six Flags Holiday in the Park is finally coming to Magic Mountain. Should be interesting to see how well it looks and if the people like it. Official Press Release Six Flags Magic Mountain Lights Up the Season by Introducing HOLIDAY IN THE PARK® Event VALENCIA, Calif. — April 8, 2014 — Six Flags Magic Mountain, the “Thrill Capital of the World,” announced today that Six Flags Entertainment’s (NYSE:SIX) annual holiday extravaganza — Holiday in the Park® — will debut at the Valencia theme park on November 28 and run through January 4, 2015. Several areas of the park will be transformed into spectacularly-lit winter wonderlands for guests to enjoy this holiday season. “We are thrilled to bring this magical experience to our Six Flags Magic Mountain guests during the holidays," said Bonnie Rabjohn, park president. "We are creating a winter spectacular that will support our thrill brand and be uniquely Six Flags Magic Mountain, complete with over one million lights, holiday entertainment, carolers, and seasonal treats. Holiday in the Park® will offer a special twist on favorite traditions that our guests will treasure for years to come." Several areas of the park will feature time-honored and unique holiday themes. While the visual look of the park will take on the distinct spirit of the holidays, guests will experience quaint and authentic touches that will remind adults of their fondest childhood memories, and create impressions for children that will last a lifetime. The Six Flags Plaza area will transform into a kaleidoscope of lights, featuring hundreds of thousands of lights on trees, buildings and attractions. An array of water and lights will create a one-of-a-kind, holiday tree in the fountain area while carolers welcome guests as they enter this magical scene. A holiday show featuring contemporary music and dancing will be spotlighted on the Full Throttle stage. Crafts and spiced-up holiday treats will be the focal point in the ‘Winter Wonderland” Mining Town area of the park and a classic Santa Claus visiting area will anchor this picture-perfect setting. DC UNIVERSE will feature a dazzling spectacle-of-lights show featuring contemporary holiday music set to one of the largest programmed light shows on the West coast with millions of lighting variations programmed using tens of thousands of lights. Park guests can enjoy all the wonderful aromas of the season while satisfying their appetite and quenching their thirst with hot chocolate, cider, custom fudge, holiday-inspired funnel cake flavors and many other traditional favorites. “We are taking a successful Six Flags branded event which has been very popular at four of our other Six Flags parks, and creating the Southern California version, combining the traditions of the holidays with a unique twist, beautiful displays of lights, holiday magic and seasonal surprises,” said Rabjohn.

^^ I agree. I believe it's the same every year. They release the maps mid-March right before they launch the new season. The problem is SFMM is always compared to the parks that are open 7 days a week year around and those parks normally change their maps every couple months. SFMM is only open daily from March-September and always releases the maps right before then. This probably wouldn't bother people if they didn't put the year on the cover of the map but they've been doing this same practice for decades even back in the hayday of SFMM so it's nothing new. I believe Knott's is the only other SoCal park that follows the same practice of one map for the whole year but I don't think they print the year on the cover.

Here is what I can think of: -Old Dragon Station (Bottom of the hill) -Old Food/Shopping building next to the Sky Tower (on top of Willoughby's) -Building next to old Flashback site (occasionally used for Season Pass overflow) -Back half of Full Throttle food building (old Palace Arcade) -A bunch of Fresher's Lemonade stands (rarely used except for busy hot summer days) -The old Purple Castle behind Bunny World (used to be a rope bridge and slide tower) -Old Colossus County Fair Metro Station -I also want to say there is a building or two in Psyclone Bay not being used. Here are the items that are abandoned 11 months of the year except for Fright Fest: -Old Batman Stunt Theater (The Aftermath) -Other Building by old Flashback site (Joker's Hideout) -Top of the Mountain Eagles Flight Station (Black Widow) -Laughing Dragon Pizza Company Restaurant on top of the hill -Old Magic Pagoda Attraction (Willoghbys)

Yes, but wasn't that a benefit that they stopped using the unload station on X2? Because it took longer for them to bring the seats to an upright position so people can get out only to have to lower them again to a tilted position to move the train to the load section only to have to bring them back to an upright so people can load. I believe they eliminated that station to save on ride cycle time.
