Tmcdllr Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 A comment was left on my blog by someone who says his dad is on the construction management team and that July 27th is the target opening day for Green Lantern, however SFMM would like to open sooner if at all possible. He also mentioned that they just found out that a piece of the ride is missing, possibly creating a delay. Well that can be frustrating. I wonder what piece is missing?

metrock Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have to say that I love how the 'dippin' dots guy' joke is still going strong 11+ years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMM fanboy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 At the park right now. Some interesting things happening. 1) Some weird looking black poles are going up at the GL site. NOT SUPPORTS! 2) RRE track is starting to be placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Cool, hopefully there will be lots of changes by the time we go next Monday. We were going to go this week, but wanted to avoid LAUSD spring break. For some reason Josh has Monday off, so we are going to go then. Hopefully it will be pretty dead.

mike932 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks Fanboy! I am at Valencia Best Western right now watching the rides across the highway. Can't wait to use a gold flashpass for the first time ever tomorrow! Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hope everyone got there early and got a Flashpass! I passed the park at 11am this morning and the freeway was backed up to the previous exit! At 11:30 it was better but still backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 ^ Sounds like a platinum day no less. Honestly, how could one have a good time at a park that crowded without a flashpass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike932 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Just got home after my first day with a gold pass. It was amazing. I am spoiled now. I will never accept waiting 2 hours for a ride anymore. Next goal is a VIP pass at Cedar Point. Anyone here ever get a VIP pass at Magic Mountain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Just out of curiosity, are we getting ahead of ourselves on the park index? From the 'Park Guide' section: In 2011 SFMM regained the title including the addition of America's first Intamin Zac Spin, The Green Lantern. A recent refurb also has turned Superman The Escape into Superman: Krypton Coaster providing the option of being launched forwards or backwards.

Not only that, but I'm sure Fiesta Texas would be surprised to learn that SFMM stole their floorless and can run it forwards or backwards depending on riders' preference.

mike932 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 How much is a gold pass? I am going May 5th. It's my first time and I am driving from Vegas Price depends on how many people you bring with you. But it's around $60 per person. May 5th is a school day, so it is possible you will not need a flash pass, but there are no guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce532 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 For May 5th, don't waste your money on a Flashpass. Weekdays in May are usually dead empty unless schools have field trips to the park, which usually happen more toward the end of the month. The main reason the park is only open till 6 PM is because park management doesn't think there will be alot of people in the park. Though crowd levels are very hard to predict, I would expect the majority (if not all) of the rides to be walkons for May 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
