The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Guy T. Koepp]

Most of LA county had spring break off last week so it shouldn't be too bad. But having just said that and karma being a B(female dog)h. Expect it to be overwhelmingly crowded and hotter than hell.

^^The Ring Master is in the Center Ring Games area of the park which is in Colossus County Fair.

^Dude, how could you not tell us about the Spontaneous Fun Mobile!!! I was laughing my ass off yesterday at it. (In a good way!) Until that is, it followed me from Viper up to Rapids Camp, that was kind of creepy!

 

Yay for Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Tube Men!

^Were you getting your excercise walking up and down the hills with KT on Sunday? I used to do that all the time with J&J. I miss those days when they were stroller prone. It was a great workout.

 

Me and the fam will have to get out there on Saturday. We now take up a whole car on Ninja!

 

It's so cool!

[J man]

I think in order to fix the trash problem at SFMM, Six Flags should borrow some trash cans from Cedar Fair!

It is um....well interesting to say the least. SFMM comes up with some pretty random things, but I think this one really takes the cake. The actual name of that...contraption is "C.O.W.A. - BUNGA" Can Of Whoop A$$. As mentioned before the whole focus of the year is to bring entertainment out of the theaters and onto the midways. It makes a few stops in the park, playing "Dancing in the Street", bringing people over to the can to dance, and play with a few noise makers for the kids. At a few stops it blows confetti, along with the big random wind socks.

C.O.W.A.

Elissa, were you there on Sunday?

 

Did you run into any of the stilt walkers?

(Not literally...)

[XanderLee]

Finally, I’ll leave you with some new fixtures that have sprung up throughout the park. One near Log Jammer, another in Gotham City, and another near Dive Devil. Does anybody know what they’re for? More ODV carts, maybe?

 

 

Very, very curious. *strokes chin*

 

 

 

 

Well folks, that should do it for today’s update! Sorry I got rushed at the end…Mike made me hurry up!

 

Thank you so much for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!

They are for the Cool Media fixtures coming to the park...

They've installed ours at SFOT and the Guests seem to enjoy the one that they have turned on...even though it's been cold.

[lapseofreason]

Cool update... I never manage to get as much detail in my TR's as Jahan does.

 

I'm going to try and go on Wednesday... I'll see if I can put an update together, or at least, a Photo TR.

[haiderodes]

Great update Jahan! I'm thrilled the park is turning around. I was there twice last year and I was second guessing my decision to even be at the park...its not like it used to be. BUT, things seem to be getting better...even with the *choke* $15 parking.

[SharkTums]

Yes I was there on Sunday, I saw two stilt walkers, both from a far.

[jimbobcoaster]

I was there on Saturday and that jester dude on stilts walked up to me and made faces and wouldn't leave... it was kind of scary

[lapseofreason]

How many people are actually still on Spring Break? I actually took a day off work to go today, which ended in futility. Here is one picture I took while we were turning around to leave that describes the situation; I have NEVER seen SFMM that jammed. No thanks.

Holy crud, look at those ticket lines!

[Guy T. Koepp]

Good for MM. They can use the business.

[Bubba83]

We went Tuesday April 10th and it wasn't very crowded. We did Tatsu front seat in 10 mins (when park opened) then hit riddler's batman scream and goliath for total front row walk-ons. We waited to go on X til about 3 o clock which was about a 40 minute wait. Longest wait was Tatsu at 8pm for about an hour despite a short line. It was taking an average time of 4 minutes to dispatch trains.

 

The only ride ops we saw using their cell phones were not currently operating the rides, though some were close as they would be relieved and immediately take it out and use it as they were walking down the exit. Still a little unprofessional looking, but safe.

 

Also, going to SFMM the day after Knott's really showed us the difference in the ride operators. The Knott's ones LOVED their jobs, they were full of energy all day, made talk with me about my shirt (I wore a Patriot shirt from Worlds of Fun) and seemed to be having a great time working. In addition to that, they needed less ride operators per station to dispatch trains much quicker than the trains were being dispatched at SFMM. Most of the SFMM ones seemed like tired mindless ogres that weren't having any fun.

[Freefallbestrideever]

Spring break hasn't even started for me WOOT! Empty park FTW! *dances with maracas*

[socalMAN123]

Great update Jahan! I love to see this park recieve the transformation it very well deserves. Man, those stilt walkers are creeping me out. And they have shirts on (Don't you love USF?).

Does anyone have any idea where i can get discounted tickets for MM? Im going tomorrow and have a season pass but i have two friends who dont. I heard the commercial going around and knew that there was 35 dollar tickets but where do I buy them?

[Guttermouth]

Burger King has some little standup display inside where you order your food. At least the one next to my office does. Also, the last time i checked you could still buy tickets online at the six flags website for that same price. u might wanna check out both options if there is a burger king close to you.

Same with Subway...

[wrs28330]

SFMM has officially done away with the old atmosphere "area" music in the park, and has switched to more "contemporary", recognizable songs. (Gotham City Backlot has remained untouched.)

[lapseofreason]

No, those are for Knott's.

[Sir Clinksalot]

No offense, but before they spend money on this:

 

 

They need to fix this:

^I've seen worse at Disneyland. Many times. And KBF. And USH. And lots of other parks. Sh*t happens. It's impossible to keep a park clean all the time.

[Sir Clinksalot]

^ Wait, were you just defending SFMM???
