The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Bryoux]

Also, I think Magic Mountain raised online ticket prices. They have a 3-day "advance" ticket that is now 45 bucks and then a day of purchase that is now 50 bucks. As well as the already mentioned $17 parking now.

What irks me is that all the supports are the same length. Surely the coaster won't travel at one height (or a multiplier of one height, supports can be stacked) for a long enough period to warrant that many supports of the exact same height.

 

I initially thought of a launch track, but since this coaster is supposedly built to the terrain, even launch track supports would have different lengths to account for changes in topography...

 

I'm stumped

 

Of course not.... really? There's only like what, 10 of them there and obviously if this is a coaster there would have to be many many more.

 

 

 

What kind of supports only have spots for bolts on one side?

 

A Bra. Next question.

One of these days Guy I would like to take a drive inside what you call your mind so I can see and experience all of the fascinating things that go on in there.

^^Buying tickets at the park also went up from $61.99 to $64.99. It was $59.99 earlier this year too. But season passes are still only $74.99 which really is a steal, and the combo pass ($99.99) and the Xtreme pass ($125) are really good values in my opinion.

 

If I were them I'd stop raising general admission tickets here and bump up the passes. I'd easily shovel out $200 for an Xtreme pass (especially now that parking is at $17 a visit, plus the significant amount of money I save with the 25% off in park purchases).

[dylanreich]

^This is all very true. While still a great value and I have one, it's a slight bummer that the Xtreme pass does not include admission to Hurricane Harbor. Is there even a discounted price to add it to an Xtreme pass? It that even possible at all?

[Sir Clinksalot]

Not sure if we ever got confirmation on the $17 parking ... but here you go.

Seriously, you don't wanna have any of this. I've had to live with it my entire life, and I can barely handle it. It gets seriously fu@k#d up in there.

This isn't so bad. Great Adventure in New Jersey is (and has been for sometime) $22. That's in Jersey dollars!!!

That's ok, I like a challenge...LOL

[chickenbowl]

Well, I hate waiting like this. I just want all these 2013 rides all over the country to be announced already.

 

Somebody on another site posted that they talked to Neil Thurman yesterday. He said they'd begin construction on the Log Jammer site very soon, and there's a lot to be done. He also said we [us enthusiasts] will be very happy with this, and that people won't be running to X2 first anymore. Take that as you will, but hopefully it will finally be announced and we will see what's actually going on here!

[Nicholas Loya]

What site did you read that on?

[SharkTums]

and that people won't be running to X2 first anymore

 

I haven't run to X2 since I got the credit...and actually, I don't think I ran.

[dylanreich]

I run to the Dippin' Dots guy first thing every time I go. He tells me the latest insider information in exchange for me actually buying something.

what site?

[chickenbowl]

It was planetsix. Which is pretty much a dead site anyway, but it has occasional posts. I do just hope that the poster was truthful in his statement.

[theonetheonlyJT]

I think it could finally be stride the ride! You know those ugly wraps they put on some of their coasters finally gets their own ride jk.

[Manic Monte]

Are there any other coasters out there that have different color track for different parts of the ride? I can only think of Top Thrill Dragster.

[Myself]

Stealth and Carolina Cyclone come to mind, but they aren't quite as colorful as whatever this is.

[nitro4ever]

Dominator (yellow track on loop), Green Lantern at SFGAdv (yellow track on loop), Kingda Ka (alternating paint colors on launch track), Verbolten (has black track inside building), are a few others that I can think of.

[coasteroverdose2012]

Wait guys ... yellow, orange, blue, green, and black? I totally know what they are getting!

 

 

 

 

See:

 

 

 

i dont get it

[skaunit]

yeah, honestly if this is a launch coaster, this could easily be alternating colors for the launch right? I really feel that the color is not automatic disqualification as a coaster, although I still don't know of any coaster that uses square supports...

[Tmcdllr]

Aquaman has a beard?

[Mechanic]

After reading all the whining on the internet, Six Flags has decided to make things right. Those are supports they're going to add to the top of the Superman tower so that Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom can actually drop the originally planned 400 feet.

[LaMapa]

^But that means they will have to close Lex and Superman again. Not good. But good idea! Haha. I just hope they spill the beans soon. Very unusual for a park (especially SFMM) to already have parts on site for something that isn't even announced yet!

[DefinitiveDetour]

 

What's weird is the star shapped support section. Usually you see things like that on a wild mouse, water slide, or....

 

[Coupon]

Perhaps it could be a Sling-shot ride like this one?

 

 

The supports look similar..
