  1. We’re getting five more clues tonight at 9:00 again. On Sunday we got four clues at 9:00, so I’m wondering if 9:00 is a clue in itself. Jeffery has released clues at certain times that are related to the new attraction coming in the past.
  2. Normally all coasters operate, but a few smaller flats close. Most is open though.
  3. I rode it last year, but it barely operated and I never saw it go again. Tomorrow night Jeffery will be releasing another clue at 9 pm on Texas Thrill Seekers, just like he did last night. I’m wondering if it’s another ride removal because he’s treating it like the ones last night.
  4. A few days ago JS made this tease: Also, if you call there number they use for ride teasing (210) 697-5478 it has a new message.
  5. And there goes another ride... Jeffery said that there was going to be four clues announced tonight so this is the last one.
  6. Few minutes later they announced this closure Edit- And they are closing these games in front of it
  7. I am currently eating a beef brisket sandwich and side of Mac n cheese at the Saggehall Food Court. The brisket is a little dry (I didn't add BBQ sauce), but the Mac n cheese is excellent, very cheesy. This is the exact same thing I usually get. The sandwich is pretty decent for Six Flags food with BBQ sauce.
  8. Wednesday (day before thanksgiving) was dead last year.
  9. From my experience last year around that time on a Tuesday, it was the slowest I’ve seen it. I’ll be going this week and I’ll try to report back to you on the crowds.
  10. I have a few more questions regarding SDC and Branson. Are the SDC tickets online cheaper than tickets at the park, and is the after 3 deal good for tickets bought at the park? Also, which alpine coaster is better? I was also looking at the fountains at Branson landing and was wondering if anyone has been, and which show is the best. Any more Branson and SDC tips and suggestions would be awesome.
  11. Going to Silver Dollar City for the first time sometime between the 16-22 of June. Which day(s) would be best and would I need TrailBlazer passes? Is this a one day park or should we do two days? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  12. ^Ok. That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know
  13. First off, this is great. Love it. Now to feedback -Galaxy at Joyland Lubbock is missing. -would be nice if all rides are already in the box and you just move them around accordingly Besides a few little things, this is really cool! I hope to see an app in the future.
  14. ^^That was my initial reaction too, but then I read that other people got a question about a fairy one, a robot one, etc.. it for sure will be another dark ride as that was confirmed by Jeffery Siebert.
  15. Someone asked that on the blog post and Tony said hoping around mid-november
  16. Wait and see on flash pass. Also check the wind before you go.
  17. Park President said it is supposed to open by Spring Break
  18. All teasers have been 15 seconds long and I know the first 2 were posted at 7:47 P.M. We have been getting teasers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
  19. I think we are getting another clue today. We've been getting one every Thursday.
  20. HH expansion has been my prediction all along, I wonder if I'm right.
  21. Magic Mountain to open daily starting in 2018. LINK Six Flags Magic Mountain to open daily all year in 2018 "More flags! More fun!" That's been a tagline for Six Flags advertising across its chain of amusement parks. Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif. may want to consider modifying its slogan to "More days! More fun!" Today the park announced that starting January 1, 2018, it would switch to a 365-day operating schedule. Magic Mountain will join other L.A.-area destination attractions, including Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood, and remain open daily all year long. According to Bonnie Weber, the park's president, the expanded schedule reflects both the company's increased presence domestically and internationally and its desire to capture more of the 47 million visitors who pour into the region seeking fun. "We have to be open 365 days a year to tap into that market," she says. Opened in 1971 and long recognized for its impressive collection of roller coasters – with 19 of them, it boasts more than any park in the world – Magic Mountain is already on the radar of tourists, convention attendees, and other visitors. With the planned rollout of Six Flags parks in Dubai, China, and other locations beyond the USA, the company is growing its brand and awareness across the globe. "If you come to Southern California and you want thrills, you come to Six Flags, hands down," says Weber. But you can't experience marquee rides such as the wooden-steel hybrid coaster, Twisted Colossus, or the 415-foot-tall, 100-mph launched coaster, Superman: Escape from Krypton, if you go to the gate only to find a sign that reads, "Sorry folks, park's closed." (Fun fact: Magic Mountain stood in for Walley World, the fictional amusement park in the original Vacation movie.) With its prime location and its sunny California weather, Magic Mountain has long remained open all year long. When school was in session, however, it would only be open weekends and holidays. Weber says this will mark the first time that Six Flags is jumping into the destination market. But all of the company's parks have been extending their operating calendars for a number of years, and the chain has tested the vacation destination waters. Like other seasonal parks, Six Flags locations used to focus on the window between Memorial Day and Labor Day. That remains the peak period. But with the successful introduction of Halloween events, Christmas celebrations, spring break promotions, and other festivals, the shoulder seasons have become increasingly important for Six Flags and its regional park competitors. One of the chain's smallest properties, The Great Escape in Lake George, N.Y., opened Six Flags Great Escape Lodge, an indoor water park hotel that is open year round. The Legoland parks in California and Florida, are open all year long, but, like Magic Mountain, close some midweek days in the slower seasons. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. closes for a few weeks in the winter, but is otherwise open virtually year round. All three of the parks have added on-property hotels. With Magic Mountain's bid for destination park status, might a hotel be in its future? As part of its long-range plans, Weber says the park is looking at a number of options. There is available land on-site to build a hotel and other resort amenities. The company might also try to develop Six Flags-branded accommodations at a nearby off-site location with a third-party hotel partner. Magic Mountain has been upping its game in anticipation of its schedule expansion. "We've been developing 'wow zones,' " says Weber, pointing to the Screampunk District the park built a couple of years ago and the DC Comics-themed Metropolis land it opened this year. Nobody would equate them with Disney's highly immersive Cars Land or Universal's impeccably rendered Harry Potter world, but they are a step up from the more generic lands of most regional parks. And the 4D, interactive, roving motion-based Justice League ride that Magic Mountain debuted in Metropolis this season is on par with the attractions at the established destination parks in Southern California. With the transition of Six Flags Magic Mountain into a destination park in its own right, Weber says that visitors should expect additional wow-worthy attractions, an increased focus on stories, new events, and more attention to detail. "We want to give people a great, compelling reason to visit the area."
