Raven Simonés?

 

Aren't those the cheap Mexican candies with the Lucas surrounding them?

What is a Raven Simones

[CoasterGuy06]

Star of the Disney Channel show "Thats So Raven" (also was Olivia on The Cosby Show).

 

She performed at Alabama Adventure in 2006. So many people showed up, they had to close the gates and turn people away.

I was on Screamscape this morning and they are reporting more Johnny Rockets opening in Six Flags parks across the country, including another at our beloved Magic Mountain.

 

My question...where is this second location going? I would think they'd put it somewhere on the other side of the mountain but I can't think of any vacant restaurants in Six Flags Plaza, Baja Ridge or High Sierra Territory. Unless that's what they have in store for Laughing Dragon Pizza Co OR they plan to replace Wascals.

^ I was thinking either Wascals or where the "Justice League Feast" currently is.

Hey guys,

 

Skytower will be down this weekend as the installation of the museum "Magic of the Mountain" picks up speed.

 

Also, the Midway refurbishments look great! A potential update this weekend will show that.

^^Perhaps that's why both of my visits this year have seen Wascals closed. From my experience, that seems to be one place that's ALWAYS open. Then again using the Justice League area would allow for a lot more seating than currently available at the other Johnny Rockets location.

The second Johnny Rockets will be going in at the old Justice League Feast location.

[PURE]

I love it, word gets out and 3 hours later we have a confirmation about its location.

 

Not a fan of Johnny Rockets mainly because every one I've been to (like, TEN) has horrible service and is overpriced, has dry burgers on plates the size of the bun so everything spills everywhere, fries that are unaccommodating, and an unsatisfied stomach at the end of the meal looking at the menu to spend more money to be full.

 

But as far as I know the JR in County Fair has been a popular hit with the crowd since it opened, I mean, at least its fresh, so no wonder guests are going to love it. But replacing that area for another one will keep the lines low at the other one, Justice League Feast was nothing of success anyway.

 

Its amazing how almost every week, someway or another I hear something new going on at MM...

The Justice League Feast sure didn't last long...hope they got a return on the money they invested into sprucing the place up.

As of about 1:25 this afternoon, X2 was testing, as visible from Magic Mountain Parkway.

[Top Thrill Dragster]

^ Very good to hear!

[coasterguy4]

^^ West Coast Bash?

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

Wow. It seems really early to be testing if it isn't opening until Memorial Day weekend. Then again, we don't know how involved the re-theming aspect will be.

[haiderodes]

^ That's what I was thinking especially since they haven't built the tunnel yet. Then again, perhaps they want to check the performance of the new train before they start with the tunnel?

That impressive how fast they have been getting through this, because I felt like yesterday that they still had all the original colors for the ride. Hopefully they can get the tunnel built soon so they can open it up for a soft opening.

[PURE]

Sweet. I bet it's weird seeing it run, it looks like a whole new ride now!

 

Maybe they'll let us watch it cycle at WCB lol.

 

I'm really interested to see what these tunnels are going to look like on the ride (not just the model), maybe they'll be black?

[wrs28330]

This cycling was with the old X trains.

I'd gladly take it without a tunnel.

[coasterguy4]

^^ Just to check to see if it runs with the new paint? That doesn't make sense to me...

[RIP Psyclone]

^Hey, if we got to ride it at WCB with the old trains, even, I'd be jumping for joy.

[coasterguy4]

I'd just be like riding it with the old paint though... I guess it would be cool since I haven't ridden it since September.

Agreed.

 

^^^Agreed.

 

I don't think the tunnels will be that bad. I actually look forward to zooming through them.

[rct3-lover12]

Cool i wish i could see X2 testing it would really look like a new ride. hopefully it will be as smooth as they say. hey ccontrol27!!! were they testing it with water dummies or just alone?????
