The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[MagicMountainMan]

I finally got my last ride on Colossus Saturday after having not been on it for a few years. Just as I remembered, a shadow of what I'm sure it once was. I'll be very happy when RMC comes through and makes it into a ride that's worth riding again.

 

Any ideas on names though? I'm sure they won't end up calling it Colossus 2, that would be stupid and redundant (X2). Wait... That makes it the perfect name!!!

 

Iron Colossus

Son of Colossus

Colpocolypse

The New Colossus

 

Nothing really rings true.

Edit: Word filter got me

Nothing really ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings true.

I could actually seeing them keeping the name, Colossus is pretty iconic, much more so than Rattler or Texas Giant were.

[WFChris]

The only name it can and should be changed to is David.

[CPSFMMCW]

David as a ride name? I dunno i'm not a fan of that. I get that it's clever and all, but I just don't think its a good name for a ride.

[WFChris]

Ok, then we can make it GP friendly.

 

"The David."

 

lol

[JeromyL]

COLO!

[scottiemon]

Has anybody went to Honda ERT? I was curious on how it worked. Do they give you a "ticket" confirming that you are driving a Honda when you arrive at the parking booth? The website states you just show your Honda key and admission ticket for early entry to the park.

The reason I am asking this is because our family has two cars. The wife typically drives the Honda, and will be unavailable to me this Friday. Can I still get in with only my key, even though I did not arrive in my Honda?

[boldikus]

COLO!

 

THIS.

[JeromyL]

^^^^. We need the T-shirts

Is it just me, or does it seem like it's taking forever for them to close this puppy. Get on with it MM. Get on with the awesome!

[KBrylczyk]

^ They said the last day would be August 16th and it's August 12th, soooooo there's that...

[Guy T. Koepp]

I know. It just seems like it's taking forever. Like the day after Halloween and you want it to be Halloween again already. Then you kinda forget about it and the year moves by pretty quickly, then BAM! this time of year starts rolling around and everyone starts teasing Halloween and the last 2 months till October drag on endlessly. Ahhhhhhhh! Madness! Why is I-Colo not open yet!?

[KBrylczyk]

Why is I-Colo not open yet!?

 

I-Colo

 

I just had a horrible thought. Six Flags is going to spin this into an advertising deal for Ricola. "R-I-Colo!"

Six Flags isn't that clever.

[KBrylczyk]

^ But I've put it out there. Someone might see it.

 

[bostonlva]

How long after it closes do we think an RMC truck shows up?

[adillonm150]

I'd say a good 5 hours.

[Mega_Coaster_77]

^Hopefully they don't give it away like SFNE

I do not think the GP knows what RMC is. So a truck wont spoil it.

The only RMC some GP know is

 

[JeromyL]

Maybe RMC will sneak in the parts hidden in giant boxes so the public can't see. Ship it at night only. Then get busted by people with cameras like when Lockheed was building the SR-71.

First time attending Magic Mountain last week and had an awesome time. Went on Tuesday August 5th. Every coaster was operating with full capacity and ride ops were very efficient. Made for an even better day because of people always talking bad about Magic Mountain.I also did have a gold flash pass, so that helped out. Snooks and I kicked it!!

[Xcoaster]

Yeah, we were kickin' it in California. We cheered on the Colossus marathoners while we were there too. And got two solid flips on GL (ugh). The only things we didn't get on was the left side of S:EFK (it was only open for a few hours in the afternoon), LL:DOD (closed for high winds by the time we made it over there), and Jet Stream (didn't get around to it). Also, I was too fat for the new kiddie coaster (I'll try again sometime).

 

Even with Flashpass we stayed pretty busy getting Joe all his credits. Without it I doubt we could've gotten on everything (maybe just barely, if we hadn't left the park for lunch and if we'd abused single rider lines)

 

Question: can you use the Flashpass to ride the left side of S:EFK, or do they only use it on the right side? We'd planned on trying to use for the left but it'd closed again by then so we just did a second ride on the right.
