Tomorrow, December 16th, SFMM starts nonstop year-round thrills when the park officially kicks off 365 Days of Thrills!

Yes, it's closed right now due to cost-saving. The park has been in full cost saving mode for the last few months due to not hitting attendance projections. However there is also something mechanically wrong with it, but that's not been confirmed. Speaking of cost-cutting... What's up with the Crazanity construction? It looks like it's stalled the last week or two.

The current soundtrack on X2 was for FrightFest. It should be back to normal this coming weekend.

Looks like we got Best Theme Park Halloween Event for 2017!

Apocalypse is not smooth by any means, but it's a lot better than it was before they re-tracked it earlier this year. This most recent closure was due to routine maintenance from what I was told by one of the maintenance team members.

Apocalypse is OPEN! I rode it today with friends. Had about a 20 min wait at the line merge, then walk on from there. No lines in the building.

Probably around next May/June. that's hilarious, i was going to post the same thing, but decided not to. LMAO!

delete for duplicate post.

MagicMountainMan, any idea when we'll start to see them working on the area where Crazanity is going?

So, I got to thinking about when they start construction for Crazanity and the whole Boardwalk re-theme from "Guess Your Weight" to Scrambler. Any idea if they are going to completely shut down that area of the park during construction or are they going to do it in sections so guests can still pass through the area?

From Bonnie in an employee email about the new ride... In addition to CraZanity, and in keeping with our master plan of refurbishing areas of the Park into WOW Zones, we are introducing our next newly-themed area called The Boardwalk, which spans from “Guess your Weight” up to the Restrooms next to Scrambler. In addition to this craZy new intense thrill ride, The Boardwalk will take on the feel of a quintessential beachfront fun zone and feature a totally redone and enhanced Bumper Cars with lights, music and a new building facade where our guests will actually see the action from the midway. Yes, we’re breaking down the walls and opening up the fun just as you’d see on any classic seaside boardwalk. Plus, renovated Johnny Rockets, a new snack stand and pub, and a refurbished Center Ring games promenade with a giant (and I mean giant) new Soccer Kick attraction to round out the new area. CraZanity will be located across the midway from Tidal Wave where the old Metro station currently stands (finally say goodbye to that old structure – demolition begins this Fall). Speaking of Tidal Wave, the water attraction and Scrambler will also get a much-deserved facelift.

Two more days until 2018 ride announcement... Any new rumors or speculation? Really surprised there's been no leaks or anything.

Haven't seen this posted yet... Batman: The Ride at SFMM is now offering on-board video of yourself and friends during the ride. Digital videos can be purchased for $14.99 at the end of the exit line...

Again? They just closed it for like 8 months for some retracking... any idea what they're doing now? If I remember correctly, they always heavily re-theme Apocalypse in "Shadows of Evil" during FrightFest. Anyone else can confirm?

Knott's Berry Farm just announced a Gerstlauer Infinity Dive Coaster for 2018. It will be the first and only dive coaster on the West Coast. Six Flags Magic Mountain better step up their game for next year!

Six Flags Magic Mountain made it known today about their new ride for 2018 in the bi-monthly newsletter. It will be announced on Aug 31st. Any guesses??

Yes, but only after the second show holding room. You still have to wait in the regular line up until that point, then there is a single rider split after you wave hi to Cyborg. And there are two preshow rooms, the Hall of Justice entry room and the Cyborg room. Both are holding pens so they funnel people into the first room and you watch the video playing and take selfies with the Justice League statues. Then the doors open and you're greeted by Cyborg and watch the second pre show. Once that's finished the second set of doors open and you head into the main station. Unlike the pre show rooms there are actually switchbacks in the station area. Basically it's like how the Terminator Salvation queue was supposed to work, but actually thought out. So hopefully it actually functions correctly as everything is supposed to be automatically timed with the ride. So we'll see... Thanks for the help responding. Just got home from the park. Were you there tonight to ride? I rode it twice, and didn't get top score either time. I did finally get to meet Bonnie though.

We were also told to share this short teaser of the ride... rmd.me/SduDbhvcEW4

Some pics from this evening's employee ride event for Justice League. We were told to take pictures and promote the ride all over social media. We were only allowed to take pictures in the two pre-show rooms. Once in boarding area, phones were collected and given back at the end of the ride. I rode the ride twice and have to say it's awesome and there are additions to this ride that are not at the other JL clones...

JB's BBQ has rethemed and renamed Ace O' Clubs. From what I heard, it's going to pretty much be close to the same offerings and heavily themed on the inside. The Metro Park Pub is to the left of the restaurants across from Gold Rusher. Sorry about quality of pics. Was in the evening when I took them...

Pic taken 7/2/17 @ 1:30pm...

The BBQ place is in the same place and has been rethemed to fit in in the new area. It is now called Ace ‘O Clubs.
