The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

^ I have to agree with you on that final blue hill before the transfer to the green side. That looks like it would produce some serious airtime.

 

On the topic of the high-five element, it doesn't look like it would be that violent compared to the other false predictions of other rides in the past. Remember when many people were afraid of the transitions on Lightning Run to be painful? Well that prediction didn't turn out to be true of what I have heard of.

What final blue hill before the green lift hill? Yeah they are not building it

I think he/she is referring to the outward banked airtime hill before the removed element

I think right before that blue track ends is the outer bank, but instead of coming into the lift hill banked (in the other direction), it's now flat and a brake run

I am talking about this hill (look at where the purple train is at).

I already knew that the element before the lift hill was removed. I didn't think that it was an airtime hill, but it sucks that they didn't actually put it on the ride. Oh well, it might be to get right next to the other train, but they might actually add the element in after the first few months if the brakes were made for a catch-up to the other train.

Back in my days at the park, those shipping containers were storage for retail. So I'm guessing they added more storage.

 

Not sure if they were added or moved, but a lot of the sea trains have been moved due to the park vacating backstage land that they apparently don't own. Why the park doesn't own the yard behind Apocalypse or even beyond the access road behind Batman and Riddler's is beyond me...

Because Newhall land and Farming wants to eventually develop everything around SFMM. That land would be a buffer between the park and future developments.
