DoubleDown Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hello everyone,I'm planning on visiting SFMM coming up on Jan. 3. Does anyone have any advice or tips? Should I buy a flash pass? Pro Tip: Expect to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agerikson Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The wife and I are making it to the park on Monday, the 26th. Are there any coasters we should expect to be closed? Also, forecast is calling for showers. I know not to plan for rain this far in advance but just in case, what is the rain policy for the park/individual coasters? Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk If there is a drop of rain, Superman will be closed for the rest of the day. YOLOcoaster closes during rain but will reopen once the rain stops. Lex Luther Drop of Doom is also currently closed for scheduled maintenance. Other than that, all attractions (outside of Roaring Rapids and Tidal Wave) should be operating. If it's windy, X2 will be closed. Thanks a ton guys. My "bucket list" coasters are Tatsu, X2, and Twisted Colossus so knowing that they have a decent chance of all being open makes me happy. I've done Zumanjaro enough to be A-ok with missing out on Luthor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It's way too early to look at the weather, now it's calling for sun. Stop looking at it, all it will do is stress you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm heading back to the mountain after Christmas. Anyone know when Lex will be back in business??? I really enjoy the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but as of Sunday, the cars weren't even on the track. Only the catch car was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMGeek27 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Great news! They are removing VR from TNR temporarily starting January 2nd! So I'd recommend heading up soon for some faster dispatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mater Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 How are crowds today? I'm planning on swinging by tomorrow and was hoping post-Christmas crowds wouldn't be too awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMountainMan Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 The entire parking lot is full today, they might even be going into overflow. Definitely the most crowded Holiday In The Park day so far. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's a little better than what you just described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd recommend heading up soon for some faster dispatches. That is fantastic news! While I'd like to think they've come to their senses, I suspect it's maintenance related. They probably need time to scoop out all the bacteria and chisel the encrusted mucus out of the masks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 How are crowds today? I'm planning on swinging by tomorrow and was hoping post-Christmas crowds wouldn't be too awful. Busier then a witches booty today (12/26)!!! 15 rows into the gravel overflow lot!!! Guess being a federal holiday and banks also closed and just lots of out of towners. It was cold as flying fig also!!! Busiest H.I.P. day by far!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. Robert Pugh Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I went on Christmas Eve and it was absolutely dead. Glad I didn't go today! Also there's still not much to see in terms of Justice League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur_Seaton Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Isn't this week supposed to be one of the busiest times of the year for SoCal theme parks in general? A friend wanted to go to Knotts today, but a quick peek at previous years' "Is It Packed?" data suggests it would be an absolute zoo. The fam and I went to Disneyland a couple of years back in the week following xmas, and the park completely sold out around 12pm. You couldn't move at all in Main St. Grim.

coasternut Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Very very busy day today at the park. They were only expecting 15,000 so I was told. Yes, the parking was well into the gravel / overflow lot. Not a good visit for me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeoplemoverMatt Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 ^^^ Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm a little sad that Waterfront's not being torn down and rebuilt in the process. I still pity anyone who has to work in those dreadfully old kitchens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Lex Luthor is still closed. It didn't appear like anyone was working on it today either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMGeek27 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Lex Luthor is still closed. It didn't appear like anyone was working on it today either. The cars and catch cars are all off the track. So most of the work is probably happening in the cycle shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasternut Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Another busy day at the Mountain. Parking into the overflow lot again. Yes, the trains and catch cars are missing from Lex. I think I see the trains in the back lot near where they've stored the old Psyclone trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were somewhat vague about "new food and beverage options" so perhaps those will be demoed later on once the park enters the off season.

dannyboy13 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Random question with all the talk of how busy it is... Does Magic Mountain have an official capacity? Is there a point where they stop letting people in? And if you know, how does that cutoff point compare to other California parks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
