Sir Clinksalot Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Honestly, I was COMPLETELY blown away by the maze. It's going to be really awesome as long as the maze talent is consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Looks like a lot of gobo and projector effects. Good to see SFMM trying to step up their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Anyone hear why Viper, X2, and Revolution were all reportedly down at the same time tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 ^ Because SFMM operations suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Anyone hear why Viper, X2, and Revolution were all reportedly down at the same time tonight? Maybe that section of the park's power went down briefly? Just venturing a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that section of the park's power went down briefly? Just venturing a guess That was my first guess too. I know the Chupacabra is set up over there I wondered if something happened there that affected the whole area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Anyone hear why Viper, X2, and Revolution were all reportedly down at the same time tonight? Are you sure as they were running those rides in the dark along with DC rides and Goliath and Colossus. I was there most the day and never noticed any out of the ordinary ride delays. Sure was great day/night being first day of FF and sweet non 100 degree weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 This was about 9 or 10 pm that they were reported down. (Theyre user/customer generated reports, but all three were reported down and the report stayed posted for 2 hrs, so it probably wasn't fake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Tatsu and Viper are running in the dark, X2 is the Alien thing again. I'm guessing there was some kind of power issue on that side of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just checked out the FF music for X2, I actually like that a lot more than the default, I'd prefer they stick with that all the time personally. Fits the ride more IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydye Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Anyone hear why Viper, X2, and Revolution were all reportedly down at the same time tonight? From the skytower I seen x2 running empty at about 4:00. So they were doing maintenance checking. It was almost a walk on after 5:00. I'm sure when the fright fest people came in at night it got busier. But Basically Magic Mountain was empty on a Friday with everyone in school. Ninja seemed to have a line...So I'm guessing they only had one train. But the park was a roller coaster riders dream in the day to the evening. With Fright fest at night it was just a wonderful day. I even met some people fro TPR who rode Lex Luther for the first time. They loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pechoolo Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I went to all of the mazes yesterday and Blackout had the longest wait, so try to go to that one first. A young woman farther ahead of me on the rope inside Blackout was so terrified that she was actually sobbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 ^ Yeah, with only 8 people going at a time for Blackout I can see how that line would get long. And woot for people sobbing in the maze!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 If I came across that girl sobbing in the maze that would probably make it creepier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Went to Fright Fest last night and had a pretty fun time. If anybody is going this year I'd STRONGLY suggest getting the Express Pass, this was only the first weekend and it was PACKED. There are three stand-out mazes (Willoughby's, Aftermath and Blackout), three middle-of-the-road mazes (Chupacabra, Jokesters, Black Widow), one good-enough for what they have to work with (Cursed) and one absolute POS (Slaughterhouse). As for Blackout, we both loved it. Ended up doing it twice and Mr. X wanted to be in front the second time. The talent in there is great and is the right blend of creepy and in your face based on what the maze is. The only maze that the talent seemed like they didn't care was Slaughterhouse, which is the reason we didn't like it. Hopefully they will get better over the next few weeks. Cursed was ok, they don't have much to work with but the talent in there was actually trying which was nice. Black Widow was interesting. Some hold-over props from Bite II, the same layout, but we also noticed some props from the old Willoughby's. First time we went through the maze it was just "ok" but it was MUCH better the second time. This could turn into a really good one if the talent stays consistent. As for Willoughby's, it was good. The maze itself is great of course, the talent still seemed to be "finding their way" if I'm being honest. Hopefully as they get more familiar with the new layout, new effects, hiding places, etc they will get better. Aftermath was again great, first time we went through it was "ok", second time was really good. Scare Zones are ok, City Under Siege is as always the best one (sup' guys) and I really like the creepiness of Nightmares. Just wish they had more to work with. We'll be going back in a couple of weeks so will see if anything improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 How packed is packed? How long were the waits for the mazes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 From what we saw, pretty long. I'd say 45-60 minutes at least. Longest wait we had was about 2 minutes. Obviously if you go on a Friday or Sunday things may be different. But you have to figure, with gas prices the way they are, people won't be driving far and staying close to home and doing local events (like FF).

singemfrc Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah I'm going on Sunday the 21st. I've been watching RideHopper every day to watch the queues for the coasters, but it doesn't show the lines for the mazes..the mazes aren't a priority though, we'll probably just do a couple of the good ones as long as the waits aren't north of 60-90. We're going to splurge on a gold flash pass for the other stuff so a few waits for the mazes won't kill us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ^ I would do Blackout first then. They only allow 8 people in at a time, every 2 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestripedtaco Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ^ I would do Blackout first then. They only allow 8 people in at a time, every 2 minutes or so. Wow if that is true Blackout has an hourly capacity of 240 pph. That just seems way too low for a maze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydye Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ^ I would do Blackout first then. They only allow 8 people in at a time, every 2 minutes or so. I went on Friday when it opened. I've never been before. They didn't give out a map to find these mazes. I had to just get lucky and find a couple. Does anyone have a map to post of these location?
