cfc Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I, too, have the official card of Six Flags and have saved money on valuable merchandise, such as X2 and Monster Mansion kitchen magnets. Great report, Joey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ728 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Does anyone have any idea for people that are heading out to the park in July which weekdays are big on summer camps? I think I remember Wednesday being a huge camp day, but I'm not certain. Also good seeing some more pictures on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterGuy Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Take a look at who I ran into today at the park. (She was being mounted ) The Flash was there too, but he was still laying on the ground waiting his turn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6flagsbrad Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 ^ Nice! Maybe a cardboard Batman could be headed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Wow...looks like the park is doing a pretty good job on decor here and there. Though it sucks X would be closed on what I'm sure was a busy day. Most schools are getting closer to summer break so I'd hope everything's ready to go full force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rba13 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The photo above of the woman in stilts gave me an idea. What better way to say "MAGIC" MOUNTAIN than a Wizard in Stilts? But if they put a Wizard in the park they might be stealing from Harry Potter/Universal. Too bad, MM didn't think of it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 ^If they put a lot of thought and creativity into it, they could make a wizard work. However, I really would like to see the park infuse Loony Tunes more into the park atmosphere...I'm even all for bringing back the clips they used to play in the ride queues.

Tmcdllr Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons playing in the ride ques would help to pass the time while waiting in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rba13 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons playing in the ride ques would help to pass the time while waiting in line. Good idea, but it's been done. The displays were a problem with the Sun glare and being out in the weather. However, video display technology has advance so maybe they can do better now. Maybe they could work the characters in to introduce the ride and safety equipment. However, with people on their pdas/cell phone/iphones/EVO/Android/Blackberries, it might be better just to introduce free basic wi-fi with and a premium faster wi-fi with a $4.99 all day fee.

But if they put a Wizard in the park they might be stealing from Harry Potter/Universal. Too bad, MM didn't think of it first. Actually, they did. Pre-Six Flags. Their mascots were a wizard and trolls throughout the park. A long time ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The wizard and trolls weren't exclusive to just Magic Mountain. Back in the late 60's and thru the 70's, mystical beings, trolls, wizards, dragons, were popping up as new mascots for several parks around the country. I always liked the idea, though they were really creepy looking(mostly because how they were made). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhamar Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Great shots Rideslover! Glad you had a great time. Green Lantern looks quite impressive in those shots, I look forward to DC Universe in July! Sad to see what has become of Superman just dumped out there. I hope for some Intamin giga coaster to take up the old Monorail station and circle the park, ha wishful thinking!

BlueFireCoaster Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Wow, I was bummed when the Superman statue never returned to the top of the tower, and now it looks like they removed him from the top of the Super Store too? That one photo where you took a look into the back of the park, that appears to be the Super Store statue, next to the one that used to be in Gotham City that's now gone too. Bummer. Why does the park always have to take out stuff that we like, which makes the park unique? And yes, great shots rideslover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 ^The Superman statue is gone, because, well, you cannot see it on the ride anymore, unless they choose to switich around one side. It was also difficult to see from the ground, anyway. Why not remove it to save 10 bucks of paint every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFireCoaster Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Uh, they never painted it all the years it was up there. And who cares if you can't see it while you're riding, you could still see it from the ground, and it was cool to have such a big statue of him up there. I just wonder where it's at? I thought the park management said it'd be returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Went to the park for a few hours today. Not really anything new. Got the RRE credit, rode Goliath, Tatsu and X2 as well. Superman only running 1 side and line was to the end of the tunnel (which is why we didn't ride). X2 and Goliath crews were hauling ass today.

coasterking2981 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 http://www.latimes.com/travel/deals/themeparks/la-trb-six-flags-magic-mountain-green-lantern-06201102,0,5484884.story?track=rss&dlvrit=70653 It looks like we'll have to wait a little longer for what I've dubbed the "most anticipated new roller coaster of the summer." Photos: Green Lantern coaster takes shape atSix Flags Magic Mountain For the second time in as many months, Six Flags Magic Mountain has pushed back the opening of the rocking and spinning Green Lantern roller coaster. It is now scheduled to make its debut July 1 after the Valencia amusement park postponed planned premieres in May and June. We can probably cut Magic Mountain some slack, though. The park updated Superman: Escape from Krypton in March and added the Road Runner Express kiddie coaster over Memorial Day weekend. Green Lantern: First Flight, the park's 18th coaster, will make Magic Mountain the undisputed "Roller Coaster Capital of the World," breaking a tie for the most coasters with Cedar Point in Ohio. Park officials said the delay in Green Lantern's debut was not caused by mechanical issues but rather last-minute design changes to the coaster's loading station. Wonder what those last minute changes could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I remember while still working at the park way back when X opened that the building inspector made them change the railing in the station a few days before the ride was supposed to open for season pass previews.

TheCoasterGuy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wonder what those last minute changes could be. A park employee I was speaking to this weekend said they had decided at the last minute to relocate a panel (control, electrical?) due to where it sat and the fact that it was a dual-sided loading platform.
