coasterlvr Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Also just as an FYI, Revolution, Ninja, and Batman are all running only one train right now due to maintenance. They’re a little behind due to the 365 day operation of the park this year, but they’re trying. I hate reading things like this. The park made the choice to go to year round operations. They clearly did not also make the choice to adjust the rest of their operations accordingly. seems to me that even years before there would be many times coasters were down to one train. to this day, i'm shocked when i see three train operation on anything but TC.
coasterbill Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I was wondering why Revolution had a 100 minute wait on a Tuesday.
Twistedtatsu805 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I was wondering why Revolution had a 100 minute wait on a Tuesday. It seems to be taking some of the wait off other rides though. And Batman dispatches are always so slow 1 train ops doesn't really make much of a difference.
SFMMGeek27 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 TC is the only ride that runs 3 trains and that’s because the park thinks they’re doing well capacity wise when they’re not only running one. But I’m afraid one train has to happen for some period of time wehen some coasters only have 2 trains total.
coasterbill Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I’m afraid one train has to happen for some period of time wehen some coasters only have 2 trains total. Yes. And that period should never be July.
SFMMGeek27 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I’m afraid one train has to happen for some period of time wehen some coasters only have 2 trains total. Yes. And that period should never be July. To be fair, it hasn’t been all that busy this summer. I almost walked on Tatsu on Monday. All the major coasters have two trains now and they left their minor coasters to have one train so at least that’s better than having something like X2 or Tatsu with only one in July. Is YOLOcoaster still running one train as well? No. It’s been back to two for 3-4 weeks now, and the line gets fairly short in the afternoon now.
singemfrc Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I’m afraid one train has to happen for some period of time wehen some coasters only have 2 trains total. Yes. And that period should never be July. Right, that's what I was thinking when I saw the update that several coasters were down to 1-train ops. I mean it could be worse, at least it's not X2, Tatsu, FT, and Goliath that are out right now, but ideally the busy summer months should not have any major coasters down. Wait until after Fright Fest. I would guess the reason that they're still doing it in July is probably that they do not have enough maintenance staff or equipment to complete all the train rehabs during the off months, so some get rolled over to busy months.
Manic Monte Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Just thought; one of those Mack skyrocket 2 style spinner....even tho it would probably be fun I think it would be dumb, especially for a milestone coaster (#20) BUT it's totally Six Flags and fit right where those buildings were demoed AND fit all the rumors.....Mack, 1st, Lauch, Spinner, Cheap Can I post that? Tell him what's he's won, Pat! I could see this ride as part of a two ride addition, but as cool as that looks, on it's own this isn't going to be enough to draw guests back who haven't been to the park in years, which I'm guessing with the 365 days a year schedule extension, that's what they're going for with this addition(s). it's just not BIG enough (in terms of scale).
Twistedtatsu805 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Just got to the park, security line is past the ticket booths!
SFMMGeek27 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Kinda funny considering it’s not even that busy right now
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I am so glad they put shade over that "queue." The line is bad, but being shaded makes it a lot more manageable for sure.
Coastin' thru life Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 S&S Hyper looks interesting....if the new coaster has to be a ANOTHER looper, that could work.
Ron101 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 The line for CraZanity today was huge! All the switchbacks were filled and it was coming down the ramp.
DBJ Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Good to see that the flat ride is popular! Hope it inspires more rides like this in the future!
Ron101 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Not sure if this was mentioned already but CraZanity does have Flash Pass, you head up through the exit
Twistedtatsu805 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Considering heading to the park today. Any idea how packed it will be?
SFMMGeek27 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Considering heading to the park today. Any idea how packed it will be? Probably not too bad since it will be pretty hot out. Tomorrow-Wednesday should be pretty empty as well with temps hitting 107. I’ll be there working today and tomorrow!

A lot of people went to the water park. Pretty average so far today.
Twistedtatsu805 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I'm at the park and Crazanity currently has a 90+ minute line. It seems like they're running a shorter cycle too. I watched it once and it wasn't reaching full height.
DBru Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Good to see that the flat ride is popular! Hope it inspires more rides like this in the future! While the ride does seem to be popular, it was making one cycle every 11 minutes today. Most major rides putting through 200pph are going to have a very long line. Lol (I say lol but it’s actually quite frustrating )
Ron101 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I was browsing the public Snap Chat story for Six Flags Magic Mountain and saw that people were sitting/standing in the planters in front of CraZanity and on the concrete foundation of that blue support

It seems like a popular place to hang out for a few minutes now and when I walked through the area yesterday there was literally nowhere to sit!
