The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[cooksta77]

^ You are correct sir. Seriously no one came into the station for a good 10 mins! I'm really looking forward for next year now, too sweeeeeeet!

I thought I saw you in the station. Anyway this was an awesome event can't wait unil next year. SFMM should make this a yearly thing.

^When we were leaving the station people came in so maybe you did see me and my girlfriend on the ride... but too bad you didn't hear my uncontrolable laughter of joy when we dispatched!

[PortugePunk]

I had 13 rides on X2 last night awesome! I thought I saw Eric on Terminator but I wasn't sure. That was by far the best day at Magic Mountain I've ever had. Hopefully SFMM does this again because it was awesome.

My final ride tally

X2-13x (Going for 15)

Terminator-5x

Goliath-2x

Everything else-1x.

Andrew "Thanks SFMM for a GREAT EVENT!" Iorio

 

DAMN.

IT.

 

 

I TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE GONE!

[rawrtotheargh]

Next years will probably be more crowded though. Hopefully not though. Cause I definitely plan on going now.

[ebl]

Not to pop anyone's bubble, but do we know SFMM will have this event next year? It was great that they did this time, but I'd rather assume this was a one-time thing and not expect it next year, only to be disappointed.

 

But if they do it again, great. I hope they do.

•Johan Willoughby’s Brutal Planet – Six Flags Magic Mountain’s largest maze is currently going through “Fright-struction”. More information will be released soon.

 

Yeah, but Brutal planet was around last year, and the year before that and then some more years before that. We will just see if its a total revamp or if they are just putting the same maze back into that warehouse

A few pictures from last nights event…

Kudos on the decorations!

 

We rode Rev first. Rough ride, but bareable…

 

Tatsu was closed when we first got there, but was running after we came back…(around 9)

 

Not being able to ride Tatsu, we headed to Déjà Vu.

 

Misters were added to the station fly through for those who hadn’t noticed…

 

Eduardo’s Grill employees were happy to give us FREE water in designated cups…

 

Just to be a jerk, I stuck a “Thriller” pose…

 

All in all, The Mountain gets a HUGE thumbs up from me. For management to open the park for us for 6 hours, and to open virtually every ride, was outstanding to say the least. The park really has come a long way…and it really did make me feel appreciated as a pass holder, and has made a smart return investment as I plan to continue business with the park…

I'm happy to hear the event was a success. Regardless of whether or not they do this again next year, I'm still getting an SFMM season pass next year instead of a KBF pass. I've been a Knott's pass holder for two years now and we don't get a coupon book or special events or anything. SFMM really knows how to treat their loyal guests.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^You know what!? I've never thought of it that way! Other than park admission, you don't really get anything from your annual pass at Knott's. At least I get a news letter from Disney and a 10%discount on merch and food...

Doesnt look like much of a success to me Major money lossage

[ebl]

^ Not such a "lossage" if people are encouraged to renew their passes for next year. More repeat visits = more money for the park.

 

Sometimes you have to spend a little to make a little...

Very well put. The event was great and I'm still getting my Xtreme Play Pass next year even if they don't do an event. I really think this was a smart event to put on by SFMM and I hope they continue to do this as annual thing. The one thing I'd like to see them do is something Cedar Point does, If you buy the Xtreme Play pass you get in an hour early to the park. To me that would be a little bonus and they could raise play pass prices because I do think they are kind of cheap.

Well you know that SFMM reads this forum, and usually responds well to the kind of feedback that has been given thus far from the SP Day.

 

Glad to read everyone who went enjoyed themselves very much!

Scream of Scream! – Music and Screams make this the wildest, twisted steel experience in the West!

 

Did I read that correctly or am I just imagining that they are adding Halloween stuff to Scream?

The park places concert style speakers throughout the footprint of the ride, so at key moments you hear music blasting.

[X2coasterfreak]

^Rockin' Scream! The event was awesome!!! I got there around seven and got in 10 rides. The longest I waited was 5 mins for Terminator. X2 was completely empty which was awesome!! And the extremely sad part, for the first time in my life, I had Funnel Cake. And it was delicious

[WFChris]

^Rockin Scream was a highlight for me at WCB 2008!

Weird, SFDK has been doing these for years now (ours is Sept. 18th), I assumed the rest of the chain held these events too. Better late than never, I'd guess this will most likely become a new annual SP perk at SFMM.

[GivenOneChance]

Hearing that people went like 7, or 13 times, on X2 in a one day stint, makes me super jealous. Damn you guys! Haha. Only kidding of course, but that sounds like the best anyone could ever do at the mountain.

 

FML!!!!

 

[rawrtotheargh]

Earlier this year in February or March. I rode X2 17 times in a row because they were allowing us to re-enter in rows. 19 times total that day. But it sounded like a really good event. I am hoping that Out on The Mountain isn't too crowded.

[ebl]

^ I'm glad you can take that, because just a few times---and not all in a row---is all I can take of that. But it is an improvement over the original.

 

Eric

[rawrtotheargh]

It is less painful in the back. And I just learn to roll with the punches. But the next day my neck was rather sore. I wouldn't recommend it.

[Calicoasters]

^Funny I've always thought X2 to be the most violent in the back, especially on that last raven turn.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^I agree, you REALLY have to brace yourself if you ride in row 7. Lucky number my @$$...

[ebl]

The second raven turn is pretty rough no matter where you sit. For me, it's the hardest part of the ride to get through. As I always say, I feel that you should never have to "learn" how to ride anything, but on X2, it's necessary.
