Jew Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 ^ You know they would have, failure to provide adequate security measures or some nonsense like that on the park's side of things. Six flags would have settled too after putting out the initial “we will fight this and can’t comment any further” statement. The reason ambulance chasing lawyers exist is because they know big companies are afraid of discovery. No park wants lawyers digging through all their records.

mts Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 There is nothing new or exciting to report. The Harbor won't see a visitor this year. The rides are all mostly fine. Something new is being built. The fact those kids were able to climb Sky Tower the other day demonstrates the current level of security. There are about 5 understandably sleepy guards in the deserted park. I don't think the Sheriff substation is even staffed presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 November 15th is now the latest sign-up-able ETA per the online internal schedule. Who knows? This is right after the election. They've already cancelled hundreds of shifts, so fasten your seatbelts and safety harnesses. The good news. The park will be so clean your head will spin. Wait until you see the restrooms! Superman will be closed due to the already stanky tunnel. Along with rides with inside queues. (currently under going discussion/re-design). Stand by.

ryder Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 In terms of covid, I actually think SFMM will be one of the safer parks. Outdoor/outside ventilation is one of the major factors to being safe, and nearly all their rides are outside already. Again, in terms of covid, I'm going to feel a lot safer at SFMM than, say, Disneyland. When that places opens up, it'll be a madhouse (and even if they limit entry with reservations, I personally am not going to count on other guests practicing social distancing), and nearly every attraction is indoors there. Similar for Universal, although I do think they'll mostly be able to handle mask wearing and social distancing more a little better, since their fan base isn't quite a ravenous. Knott's falls inbetween, but I think will mostly be pretty safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 The tradeoff with Six Flags parks vs Disney Parks is that at Disney Parks compliance with masks and social distancing is excellent compared to any other major park and cast members enforce it but there are more things that are indoors. At Six Flags, the lines on the ground are just there for decoration and by late afternoon 50% of park guests have the masks off completely or under their noses and the park is too understaffed and the employees don't get paid enough to care. Queue lines pack tight like they always do with no distancing whatsoever and you spend much more time in them because rides run at 50% so the park can pretend to care about social distancing BUT everything is outdoors so despite guests ignoring all covid rules... that may make up for it. Obviously the science is still working through all of that. I mean... maybe Magic Mountain will be different but if I would have picked any area of the country where I felt like guests would take covid seriously it would be the New York metro area and Great Adventure has done the most atrocious job of enforcing their policies of any park I've been to all summer and it's not close. That said, in both scenarios theme parks are not a major covid risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's in limbo who the hell's even running the mountain. I know you can't tell us but if I was invited to the park next week to tour the old Green Lantern station for some reason, should I invest in a hard hat or has that single-rail RMC been sold to some water park?

chickenbowl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 ^ So you're essentially confirming that not all future projects are completely stalled for the park at the moment?

TopThrill182 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Did anyone else get a SF Membership email offering to pause their membership until "the park re-opens in the spring"? Not sure if it's a blanket email for all the closed parks (which I know are mostly seasonal) or a true indication that SFMM will be closed for several months more.

Animal Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I got it too. I think it was generic for all six flags parks. I just can’t see Magic Mountain staying closed if all the other parks are able to reopen. Who knows though, Newsome seems to be in no hurry to reopen California parks....

DBru Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 My roommate got an email yesterday offering a free upgrade to Platinum through the end of 2022 if he doesn’t pause, plus a free extension of the membership for every month the park has been closed.

mts Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Virtually all shifts through 1.5.2021 except essentials have just been removed from the sign up schedule. This is NOT an official announcement by any means and do not cite me. Draw your own conclusions. So... Holiday in the park(ing) lot? Maybe. Sounds awesome. I'd make alternate plans if this was your holiday plan. Sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I really miss the park too. This year has totally made me realize how much I take parks for granted. Holiday in the Park is my favorite time of the year at SFMM. It's a bummer they probably won't open until next year. Thanks Newsom. Also, this park and Universal (the two in LA County) will probably be last to open in SoCal. I can see SeaWorld, Disney, and Knott's all opening first. But at this point, I'm not holding my breath for anything before springtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
