The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[darklingscribe]

Thanks for the link, though there was nothing new in the Logjammer station other than plywood boards.

 

Also it was interesting to see them clearing land out behind Apocalypse. My first reaction is that they are creating a no brush perimeter around the park to act as a safeguard incase of a wildfire. Has SFMM done this in the past?

[rustyinpeace]

don't know if they did that in the past but my first thought was just wish full dreaming that they might be clearing that hill for the new coaster to go through with some humps for air time but thats really unlikly

Was at the park today. Everything was a walk on, if not it only had a few train wait. Saw some people outside X early on filming a commercial. Rode Lex Luthor 3 times in a row with only a 1 train wait. Amazing view up there!

WOOHOO THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS AT 7am PACIFIC TIME!!!!!!!

[RCT3Bross]

^ Is Pacific time the same area California falls in? I'm not good in the time zone's there. If it is so I'm ready 4 pm (Europe time) for the announcement.

Yep yep yep! That's California time

[Crazy4Coasters!]

I feel its going to be Leaked before thursday.... Weren't the 2012 plans (for all the SF parks) leaked via the LA times last year?

 

I don't remember that being the case (I have a bad memory so that doesn't mean much) but if it was then we have hope to hear something about it today. ***wishful thinking***

[SoCalCoasters]

Yeah, several of SF's additions were accidentally leaked last year via the LA Times. I don't think it will happen again this year. SFMM has managed to keep a lot of the ride hidden from us, and I don't think they'd be happy to have such a large announcement leaked earlier than anticipated. You never know though....

WOOHOO THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS AT 7am PACIFIC TIME!!!!!!!

Wouldn't that be a bad thing? If it were 7 am Pacific Time, you would be finding out later..

[RCT3Bross]

^ It won't be a bad time for me. But this announcement where do i need to look at? (Facebook and Youtube or one of the two?)

[rustyinpeace]

Anyone of the two. I even think the website would have it also.

[Sir Clinksalot]

^^ I'm sure there will be many updates on Twitter, Facebook, etc..

[SharkTums]

^^^ We'll be posting all of the Six Flags announcements here to the site, on the Theme Park Review Facebook Page and tweeting them as they happen! So if you follow TPR you'll get all the info!

[RCT3Bross]

^ Ops forgot that. I'm not completely 100% the last few days looking back at my post only here. So tomorrow 7 am pacific time here, right?

[G-Force!]

The SFMM Facbook page is now reporting "Gosoaring2013" with a flock of birds in a "V" formation. No idea if this is to throw people off but they say to be ready tommorow morning.

[brock_boehm]

Where are you seeing that? I'm looking on their Facebook but I can't see it.

 

...stupid Timelines!

[RCT3Bross]

Didn't find it also but I did find it on the SFOT Facebook page. It's also in that thread. Perhaps you made a little mistake. Then again if I'm wrong it could also point out the slingshot ride, you kinda soar in that.

[G-Force!]

^No, your right. It was a mistake on my part as it is for SFOT

 

Anyway, still looking forward to what comes tommorow after the parks announce their stuff.

[brock_boehm]

Magic Mountain must be getting something pretty special...all the other Six Flags rumored to get something new next year are already posting teasers. Magic Mountain hasn't posted anything. Have they?

Not a peep. If their intention is to increase anticipation, it's working.

[SharkTums]

^They also have been one of the Six Flags parks that never really embraced Social Media and the fans as much as some of the other parks. That could also be the reason for no 'teasers'.

I agree with you here. I just can't help but ask the question, "Why not?" They have one of the largest populations so close to their front door. It seems to me to have a social media PR person that would be on top of something as this, be a no brainer. Look at how well Paula does for HW, and their local populous and demographic is tiny in comparison.

Hopes for a coaster that isn't based around a gimmick inversion.

[Gigalyte]

^at least let there be a terrain hugging airtime filled ride that leads into the gimmick inversion

[SLUSHIE]

I'm planning on getting a 2013 pass after they become available tomorrow. It will allow me to head down to SFDK and finally ride Superman before the season is over, and then I'll be able to use it next season to ride the new coaster at SFMM. I'm actually going to be in LA around the 15th, but since the park is only open on weekends then (and apparently that Monday due to all LA county schools having a furlough or something) I probably wont be able to go.

 

Comparing it to Cedair Fair passes it is a much better deal, assuming the prices stay fairly similar. If you want to be able to go to any Cedair Fair park other than the one you bought the pass at its more than double the price, with Six Flags other parks are included at the base price. For most likely just staying in CA SFMM and SFDK for $80 is a much better deal that CGA, Knotts, and Gilroy Gardens (although I've never been to Gilroy) for $180.
