I'm amazed "the Mountain" has been open everyday this week (for the first time this season), and there's been only 1 post here on this forum. I guess everyone is on their best behavior I'll be back this weekend (& next) riding (I hope) like crazy... Does anyone know when Deja Vu is reopening??? Their website just says it's temporarily closed.

TR: Six Flags Magic Mountain
coasternut replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I read this entire thread. Magic Mountain is my favorite park anywhere. I travel all over the U.S. for my job, so I see many different parks and rides. Agreed, I've noticed the ride-op's attitudes going down hill since the departure of their old VP Jay Thomas. He was an outgoing person that you always saw at the park smiling and talking to his guests. That attitude radiates from the top down. Since his departure, I do see a marked difference in employee attitudes towards customers and the cleanliness of the park. That being said it's got a great compliment of rides and soon to have more rides than any other park. I was at the park on Sunday 3/13 too. I got in at opening 10:30 and stayed until close 6pm and got 31 quality rides that day! One other thing, this year the park has posted signs telling you of the 1 train operation because of maintenance. It's right at the entry of the rides with only 1 train. As others have said quit bring all that crap to the park when you ride. I bring nothing that doesn't fit in my pant /shorts cargo pockets. Every park has it's challenges, but for me I like the Mountain.... -
Texas Giant BASH! - TICKETS NOW ON SALE!
coasternut replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks Robb! This price is more reasonable, so I'll be there. I've never been to this park before, so I'll be a virgin on all the rides. Count me in there sport, and I'll see you there. -
I can see why. I stayed up here today hoping to ride more. It is brutal outside and not letting up. I don't even what to go outside for some lunch. The weather site I use says 1.62" of rain has fallen since midnight with more to come. I guess I should've gone to Knotts. I would've never thought that would be a correct statement.

West Coast Bash 2011 Photo Updates!
coasternut replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
FYI, they're riding Xcelerator right now. Buena Park is 55 miles from Valencia and over two valleys. The weather can be different. If you're at home "Ms. Tums" you know what I'm talking about with the weather. The weather site I use here in Valencia says 1.59" of rain since midnight and 45 degrees. The gusts are up to 27mph. The mountain never opened today as per their website. -

I don't really think Xcelerator will be running at all today. I'm very near Magic Mountain and it's very windy (wind chill of 38), and constant rain this morning so far. It's rained nearly 1" since this midnight, and for here that MAJOR! I'm really surprised the mountain hasn't posted that they are closed on facebook yet. The forecast is to get worse as the day goes on. I can't believe it's much better in Buena Park... -
It's typical for Knotts on weekdays to open most of the park at 11. Normally, Ghostrider and Silver Bullet are the few that are open at 10. A fast SMOOTH ride on Ghostrider??? What kind of meds were you on? I was there on Thursday and it was typically rough. I'm glad you enjoyed. Silver Bullet train 2 is down for maintenance. You can see it from the loading platform. Nice pictures. My personal fav there is Xclerator.

Some type of filming is going on this morning at Knotts. I went to the nearby McDonalds and noticed a crane with movie lights pointed towards Ghostrider on the east side of Beach. The train was running at 8:15 with people on it already abusing their bodies on this ride. It seems like something is always happening here in So Cal...

On the same note, was this Bonnie Rabjohn's first public appearance? I'm very unimpressed with Bonnie. She is just the polar opposite of Jay IMO. She didn't mingle with the crowd of us "coaster freaks." Did anyone notice she wasn't wearing an name tag??? I guess she's special... On a high note, the event was great today. Got a total of 10 rides right up until closing at 2pm. Good free pizza and salad.
