The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

Do you think Crazanity will have a single rider line? Or the line won't ever be that big to warrant having one?

I don't think crazanity will attract the crowds. Justice league didn't seem to get that big of a following. This definitely won't attract the crowds twisted Colossus got. They really need a new coaster. Unfortunately I can see it happening 20th in 2020.

Jesus, why do you care so much about my opinion of the park? No, I don't care to elaborate even further. It was five years ago and it's on the other side of the country. I changed my opinion. It's my new favorite park and always has been. It's the crown jewel of the f***ing world and I know nothing about amusement parks or my own personal enjoyment of them.

 

Serious? You post your opinion on a public message board and see it as a fact. Nobody should comment on it? That is hillarious.

Glad you changed your mind and agree that SFMM is one of the great parks in the US, at least you came around.

I just saw a Facebook post from discovery kingdom that said they were open from 4~10 today (Friday) ...ive been saying this for years, why doesn't the mountain have these hours in the off season or midweek...seems like more people would choose to go after work or school in the cooler hours of the day, if they had more than an hour at the park by the time they got there, I mean how much business do they get from 1030-6 midweek when school is in since they obviously base their operating schedule around the school year, with some exceptions

 

Side note: good thing you spent however much extra.money on that fancy light package for Crazanity (dumbest name, I swear, how does this person even have a job still) seeing as how the park closes at dusk every day..oh except Frightfest where the lights are off and holiday in the park

 

I swear, with the simplist adjustments this park could double their income, maybe I'm wrong but it sure seems to work elsewhere

Unless you live right up the street from the park, the evening traffic just isn't worth it in the LA area.

When is Key Club day this year? I haven't seen it posted and want to avoid it.

November 11th?

 

i also noticed that on Sept. 21st, they are open until 8pm. is that some school holiday?

It's technically an "unassigned" day, but it acts the same as a holiday. It's for Rosh Hashanah. So all the LAUSD schools have it off.

Definitely, a good day to avoid. All 2017 & 18 passes have a bring a friend weekday and that is the only day people are off school.

If anyone is interested, my Magic Mountain collection auction had to be relisted on eBay. Mostly 80s and 90s stuff: Magic Mountain auction

Lotsa goodies!

How crowded will the park be this week on a weekday? Will most rides be walk ons?

[MagicMountainMan]

Yes, it will be empty on the weekdays. Last week the park barely crested 1k on the weekdays. Be prepared for single train ops on a lot of rides, but with only a thousand people in the park it doesn't even matter.

[mike932]

Last week the park barely crested 1k on the weekdays. .

 

Is that like only the first parking lot section filled?

[MagicMountainMan]

Last week was about half to two thirds of the first lot filled.

Your longest line will be at the crosswalk area in parking lot, if the big old fat guy needs to stop you while the bus is going by.

Going Wednesday for some marathon riding.

[mike932]

.... if the big old fat guy needs to stop you while the bus is going by.

 

I would not stop myself, so it's all good. Even Tatsu and X2 will have no wait?
