The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

Well all of the billboards I've seen for it so far....July 1st. I'm quietly excited about this. Don't know when I'll get a chance to check this out, but I will be watching the progress very closely.

[takedown]

You ditched them to go on rides?...lol

 

Well it was father's day afterall That's our routine at MM, get there early, get a circuit in quick while they go play in Bugs World, and then meet up to finish off the day.

^Yea...Mother's Day at amusement parks always tends to be a ghost town....but American's have well sent the message that few people give a sh*t about their dads.

Isn't the point also proven that we "need' set days to celebrate something?

 

I don't think people should let "fake" holidays dictate how they act and if they really feel that way they don't need to celebrate a specif thing only once a year. They might as well make mothers and fathers day a day within every month, two weeks or one week. That's pretty much what it should be if you actually got lucky enough to have good parents, biological or not.

 

 

 

On Topic. Still no Green Lantern testing videos huh?

[Sir Clinksalot]

^ I'll be heading to the park in about an hour or so to shoot an update. Hopefully I'll see it testing and get a vid.

[Corcoran]

any word on a green lantern event?

[buckaroo234]

Hey Guys,

 

Got my e-mail from Six Flags inviting me to do the Green Lantern B-roll shoot next wednesday. As much as id love to do it, not quite healed enough, so i will not be able to go and get pics and video. IF someone really awesome is going, please get pics and video and be awesome about it!

Nice looking entrance

Love the B&M track on the sign!

[atem122]

The B&M track sign completely ruins the ride. What a waste.

[fatdaddy]

Anyone else get the Six Flags lockers survey?

[John Knotts]

I wonder how long SFMM expects the average wait time for this ride to be? And if they're planning anything that will help. Plain ole switchbacks(Deja Vu-style) in the hot sun will be unbearable with a ride like this. I hope at least part of the queue is covered. Also a DJ and big screen TVs will help.

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? lol

[JJ728]

Anyone else get the Six Flags fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo survey?

I just got one about tickets, season passes, competitor's tickets, etc. It was interesting to see what they were asking you about "off the top of your head, how much does such and such cost?" Is stuff worth it, how much would you be willing to pay for this, and all sorts of stuff like that.

Even worse, it's stand-up track and this is a 4D coaster!

[ANJLOVER14]

Remember, half of the GP lining up for the ride will probably think they're waiting for Riddler's, or that the tracks are interconnected, so in the end, it really doesn't make a difference.

That photo must be a couple of weeks old. It's missing the giant Green Lantern logo that's hanging on the front of the ride now.

[Gmaster562]

I honestly don't care about the sign. It's not like you'll be seeing it during the ride, and I honestly don't think the GP will notice, and if they did, they wouldn't give a popcorn fart about it!

[John Knotts]

hahaha... after all these years, sarcasm still doesn't play well on the internet.

Where is the queue going to be? Against the building facades behind the actual ride?

[atem122]

I was at SFMM a week and a couple days ago, and saw them building a queue cover over the switchbacks like the ones Terminator and Riddler's have.

[Ejectorbater]

Am i the only one that is not that excited for this coaster? It will be so short and it's nothing more than a Deja Vu. Sorry, no one else wanted to admit it.

[coasterfreak101]

Except it's nothing like Deja Vu and its clone has been very, very highly praised by everyone that's ridden it. Judging before riding is never really that smart.
