I love that you found that video!! Lowkey, I always dreamed of being on that show!! I especially remember when they went to Raging Waters... Gotta love the 90's!

[DJeXeL]

Check out this gem!

Here is another fun old video, I remember seeing Mystic Lake when I was younger but now seeing this video, I never realized the lake was so large...

 

[Gigalyte]

Wow I didn't remember the lake being that huge either and I remember '84 being my first year I can remember going to the park and being upset I wasn't tall enough to ride Revolution or Colossus I remember seeing that ski show I was 6, two year later in 86 I went for the Shockwave opening and was able to ride Rev and Colossus for the first time. I can't remember clearly but I believe it was by that time or by '88 we went for Ninja the lake was gone and the charm of the park has since been totally erased

 

Oh well we have 18 effing coasters j/k

[Tmcdllr]

Chuck Henry...LOL

It was! You figure they built an entire park on that lake!

[susie zueck]

I never knew there was a lake at SFMM. Where was it located?

[LaMapa]

^Where Hurricane Harbor is today.

[coasterbill]

You learn something new everyday.

 

Thanks for sharing!

[XYZ]

Never knew Mystic Lake existed. Even if it was still here today, SFMM would've probably cancelled the water show.

[Sir Clinksalot]

^ The water show was closed long before the lake was gone. There was a Batman show there for the last couple of years before they started building SFHH.

[Sidra]

I only vaguely remember the lake, must have only seen it on my first trip to Magic Mountain. My most memorable time at Magic Mountain was in 1990, being at the park with a YMCA group with one of my brothers, it was just before Viper opened to the public and we got to preview it. I was 12 and terrified! But they also gave us hats that day with the Viper logo on it. (wish I still had it!)

Speaking of SFMM's water show:

I didn't know that posting one video from the 90's would cause the videos that have popped up lately.

[Magic Alumni]

LL:DOD update....Track looks complete. They have an American Flag on the top of the tower to mark the completion. Station is wrapped in black paper ready for surfacing.

I wrote a college English paper about that commercial. No joke!

[Tmcdllr]

Ah yes, the flashing lights that used to work on Revolution's loop.

[Sir Clinksalot]

Went to the park for a bit today. Lex Luthor track looks to be on the tower, it looked like they were installing the brakes today (good thing).

 

Park was of course dead. I gave Revolution a courtesy ride and it wasn't that bad of a ride actually. Not great, but not the worst I had.

 

The two most interesting things that happened were:

 

Wonder if this was just coincidence?

 

And apparently IOA is a sponsor now.
