Intimidator305 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Plus, the world's ending in a few months so this won't even matter in 2013! If there was a chain that believed this, it would be Six Flags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousReed Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) RC Day 2012 Review: So I arrived at the park around 10:00. I squeezed myself up to the front of the gate so I could get with my friends. I got to meet freddiew, JacksFilms, and a couple other people. You can check out there channels right here: JacksFilms freddiew I thought the event was really fun! The park was empty for the most part (besides the 600 fans that came to meet freddiew). I got on almost all the rides without a wait and I felt it was a very fun event. I can't compare RC Day with WCB probably because I have yet been able to go and WCB just sounds alot better. Oh yes and I skipped Green Lantern because inversions are too mainstream for Magic Mountain at the moment. Here's some photos: While walking off of Tatsu...I noticed the light is missing, this is serious guys, we need to find it. CALL EVERYBODY YOU KNOW. Is it over here!? Nahhh...just a lady doing an awesome dinosaur impression. Somebody was caught filming without permission on Riddler. The ride started up again 5 minutes later. Then I took a ride on Scrambler...this ride needs some love. Then Sandblasters...this ride needs more than love. It looked as if apes were chucking poop at the cars. More poop. Details are starting to appear on Lex Luthor's Entrance. Track is completed. This is being painted white...maybe the light will be on this building! Electrical stuff to power the light. One last shot of Lex Luthor. Goliath was running great today. It was a walk on for the most part. Another shot of Goliath. Samurai Summit needs some place to eat. Right now it's just rotting. Revolution wasn't "as" painful. Still wish this ride got either new trains or they remove the useless OTSRs. At least Magic Mountain hasn't screwed this up...yet.. For now and hopefully forever it will still look great. The "door" wasn't shut all the way. Road Runner was down. Train was missing. No big deal though...this could be where the light will end up. Yep. I will end this report off with Freddie and I(striped shirt). Have a great day everyone! Edited May 15, 2012 by AnonymousReed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think they will remove the ride, after the 2013 or 2014 season, and say its due to a ride rotation....then, they can add a sequel to Pistachio Park and put Cashew Park in the place of Green Lantern....seriously, I give it 2, maybe 3 more years at most!

XYZ Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If they were to remove GL, it would be around 2014/2015. I think it might get one of those "renovations" that Six Flags likes to have, anyone want Bizarro: Cynical Spin? Really, SFMM is just letting all the non-coaster rides to just rot. Well, the non-coaster rides still existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one flame thrower, the audio, and fog won't work after one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just rocking back and forth through out the entire ride! It wasn't just one train too, it was all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^Exactly.... That's not even a pun though... I'm pretty bummed all around that GL wasn't/isn't what it could be. I've heard about the potential, but the balancing makes the ride dull and disappointing. Not to mention, it's also pretty uncomfortable at points, depending on your ride.

daveydo5172 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Question? Does my Six Flags Season Pass get me into Hurrican Harbor at MM as well, or just Magic Mountain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^ Just Magic Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhcbiinoc Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think the one thing I have seen in this thread which I find most disappointing of all are the shots of the Sky Tower empty, and the Magic Of The Mountain museum vanished without a trace. I remember when it opened at WCB 2008, standing up there and looking down at the park where they had everything open and seeing how pleased Jay Thomas seemed with everything and the progress the park was making. I visited SFMM just before I left So Cal and although I had a great time, there is such a marked difference between how things were when Jay was running the show and now, and from all I am seeing things are not improving. I am hopeful that the new additions to the park-Lex Luthor (which is a ride I am actually thinking twice about riding next time I am out there for a visit as it looks terrifying to me) and whatever replaces Log Jammer (Full Throttle or whatever that turns out to be)-will be successful for the park and things will get back on track.

chadster Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 IDK, it seems to me they could put a set of clamp brakes on to stop the thing on the vertical track coming down into the station thus preventing another car from being able to go up the lift(or at least allow it to stop on the lift while waiting for the block to clear) and ensuring a full slide through the MCBR each time if say a car didn't right itself in the station.

LaMapa Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Had a good day at the park today. Got there at about 3:15 and started out with Tatsu. Got on in 10 minutes and it was a good ride! Then headed to Apocalypse and waited 10 minutes (1 train operations). Riddlers: 10 min. (1 train, really bumpy). Green lantern (10 minutes, walk right in, got 2 flips at the end). Goliath (2 trains) walked on and got 2 back to back rides, X2 (1 train operation) 70 minutes .. That was LONG! And slow.. Got on at 7PM. Second to last train.. I lost my season pass at Green Lantern.. Hopefully they will find it. Saw Freddiew near the Center Ring Games with a flock of followers behind him! Haha Good day! But they need to run 2 trains on at least X2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^It looks like the park is starting to run one train on some rides, depending on the crowds. This is just shameful, as I visited once in December 2009, and the park was completely dead, with empty rows on all rides except X2, but they had 2 trains running on all coasters. The park can only head in the wrong direction from here. Also,according the Screamscape, the "no inversions" sign may not mean " do not let the ride flip at all", but it actually may mean "make sure the ride does not get stuck upside down at the end". Whatever problem they are having, this sign may be an attempt to find a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrad Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Riddlers: 10 min. (1 train, really bumpy). Green lantern (10 minutes, walk right in, got 2 flips at the end). Which row was bumpy on Riddler? I rode it last week and thought it was running really well - on more than one ride. As for GL, are you talking flips, or complete revolutions?

I rode it last week and thought it was running really well - on more than one ride. As for GL, are you talking flips, or complete revolutions? I rode in row 5 on train #3 (My ride on Saturday on train #2 was MUCH better). I mean complete revolutions. We did 2 360° flips in a row in the second half of the ride. And it seems rather stupid to just see the other train sitting there when they could use it.. There was nothing wrong with it, they just didn't take it out. Even if the sign meant that they needed to avoid the cars reentering the station weird, that pretty much means that it can't flip much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 70 min wait for X2 and only running one train? Classic Magic Mountain! Glad I didn't renew my pass this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 So these Zac Spins...is there some kind of mechanism that realigns the 'pods' as it heads into the station? Much like what we've seen on spinning coasters where the car becomes realigned prior to heading into the station? What keeps these from rocking in the station? Perhaps I need to look at some nerd shots of a Zac Spin as it may answer some of my questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Maybe Americans are just too fat, have odd body sizes, too skinny, or maybe if Jack Bauer had to come back to Valencia and shoot a terrorist from Green Lantern mid-ride. Maybe I'm just kidding because we know Jack wouldn't miss no matter what. Boo avoiding inversions. It just sounds rude or elitist or something.
