thrillseeker4552 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Great news. Even if the timing/planned opening is all up in the air, it is nice to have something new to look forward to, other than the park re-opening eventually. This will be a nice addition for them and miles better than Green Lantern (even though I didn't hate GL as much as others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'm a Six Flags pass holder I want to do the Holiday in the Park drive through. Online it lets me reserve a time by myself and although they request at least two people per car it didn't specify it was required. Does anyone know who either works for the park or has experienced the drive through, will I be turned away if I show up with a reservation by myself or will they let me drive through by myself? I want to make sure I don't get turned away before I drive all the way down there. I'm excited about driving my own car through Magic Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercoaster5 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have a strong feeling the 2022 raptor it will be themed to the Joker, and I really hope they do something cool with the station/theming. Joker, or whatever it will be called, is going to be located right between Batman the Ride and Riddler's Revenge, 2 of the park's best themed coasters and queue lines. Green Lantern had okay-ish theming with a pretty empty bare station, but im hoping they do something cool like SFDK with their Joker entrance. I would love to see a fun house themed queue even if the station is pretty bare which I expect. I wonder what they will replace the giant green lantern with? Maybe a Joker face?

I’m sure they suggest more people so they can guilt you into taking a friend without a pass to fork over $25 or $30 bucks. You’re really just paying for the unique opportunity to drive through the park with some employees in costume waving at you, since it’s just primarily the normal holiday in the park lights package.  Magic deserves credit for doing something and putting people back to work, but do not going in expecting something amazing if you have already seen the holiday in the park lighting.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Pass so I wouldn't have to pay to get in. I'm actually more exciting about driving my car through the park then the actual lights but I've liked what Magic Mountain has done with Holiday in the Park in the past so I'm curious to check this out.

805Andrew Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Last night I went to Magic Mountain for their Holiday in the Park drive through experience. Never in my life did I think I would be driving my own car through Magic Mountain but here we are. It was pretty cool getting to drive my car through the park and it took me about 25 minutes to get through. I entered through the backstage area by DC Universe near Batman the Ride and went around the park counterclockwise going through the backside of the park first, then going up the hill by Tatsu and Roaring Rapids to Baja Ridge, then through the front side of the park to Goliath and underneath Superman to the Screampunk District, and exited the park through the Screampunk District in between Scream and Twisted Colossus. Anyways on to the pictures. The first thing you see is the Six Flags bus from all the old Mr Six ads as you enter the park through the backstage area. Entering through the backstage entrance by DC Universe Going through DC Universe Crazanity was the only ride operating at the event...empty cycles that is. Driving around ornaments by Justice League and Riddler’s Revenge. Driving through the new Underground area of the park. Going by West Coast Racers which I haven’t been on yet. This whole area of the park is unrecognizable to me. Hopefully I’ll get to ride West Coast Racers sometime in 2021. I seriously don’t recognize this area anymore. I hadn’t been to Magic Mountain since 2018 when I last had a Six Flags Pass. I got one for 2021 though when I went to SFOG last month so I’ll be back when this park eventually reopens. Driving up the hill underneath Tatsu was my favorite part of the event. The area by Tatsu and Roaring Rapids was my favorite decorated area of the park. Driving by the Magic Mountain Coaster Hall of Fame Driving by the front of the park but not entering or exiting through there. The iconic front entrance area of Magic Mountain Bugs Bunny saying what’s up Doc to everyone. YOLO through 2021 The Golden Bear Theatre was well decorated. Doing a drive by Goliath Driving underneath Superman Happy Hanukkah a month ago. Going by DC Universe again but turning right into the Screampunk District. Entering the Screampunk District The closest I’m getting to riding Twisted Colossus for now. Exiting the park in between Scream and Twisted Colossus.

Nrthwnd Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great report, thanks! Was it imperative for you to have your car lights on? Or was that made an option? A lot of the pathways there I can see, are very well lit. Just thought I would ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried turning off my headlights and I didn't like it so I kept my normal low beam headlights on for the drive through the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 It appears they are using the underground as a showcase area.  The night I went their EMT department was featured.  Had their ambulance and some other vehicles parked out there with EMT staff waving.  Since it was SFMM, I wasn’t sure if it was a real emergency or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I still can't believe SFMM is doing this! I mean, it's awesome, but just so odd! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they extended it through the end of the month on weekends. I went on what was supposed to be the last original day of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Looks like (to me) Drive-thru Holiday Events might actually become a regular annual park "event" since most of them all over the country have been successful in their own ways. And there's (mostly?) no guest trash to pick up after, compared to a walk-thru experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Mountain would make way more money with a normal Holiday in the Park with guests roaming around in a normal year, but I think drive thru holiday events would work well for parks that are normally closed in the winter because its too cold like Cedar Point. All these parks would have to do is plow their pathways and decorate their parks and let people pay money to drive their cars through the parks. Even parks that are open in the winter like Magic Mountain could have the drive thru option for slower weeknights when their parks would normally be closed or dead but could be worth staffing minimally for having people drive their cars through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Looks like Magic Mountain is going to be used as a mass COVID-19Â vaccination site. https://www.hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/community-news/six-flags-magic-mountain-announced-as-covid-19-vaccination-site-362857 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rba13 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I was thinking it would be great if SFMM built a man made lake and put on water skiing shows. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 ^I think this is a joke, referencing the actual, man made lake that used to reside in the front of the park.  https://denniscooperblog.com/back-from-the-dead-theme-park-map-day/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryder Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yup, right where Hurricane Harbor is now. There also used to be the Mountain Express right at the front of the park as well, a Schwatzkopf Wildcat. Loved it as a kid in the late 70's.

Jew Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The park also had a dolphin show where what is now the justice league ride.  The bleachers were re-purposed for the stunt shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryder Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I didn't think it was. I know some recent drone footage showed some of the roof being removed, but I thought it was more for repairs. I mean, their app is really unreliable, and probably even more so now since it's basically useless until the park reopens. Even in the off chance it is being removed, I think the ride not appearing on the app is incidental.

coastercoaster5 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think its clear that it's getting removed, whether or not the app update means anything. After the raptor Magic Mountain has the perfect opportunity to install the world's tallest/fastest/first inverting water coaster etc... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
