The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

^ Don't give them any ideas!

[DJeXeL]

To be fair......they do need another water attraction.

[ViperLover]

^Definitely. They are taking out many family attractions for new coasters. I have no problem with it, but families do. For the next few seasons, Six Flags should focus on repopulating the family ride count starting with a water ride. It will help even out the age groups hanging out at the park.

[simaticable]

Right...and Scream should actually have a theme besides a parking lot...

 

Not happening. It's not what the "YOLO" crowd wants.

[bostonlva]

 

via coaster guy...

 

That most likely solves that question...

[MrSum1_55]

No rides are planned to be closed during the construction of YOLOcoaster

 

[vacoaster09]

Maybe they can make the closure useful and make some final modifications to the ride. Basically, this would be a great opportunity to possibly modify the tunnel (make it a larger diameter so that they can take off the arm covers on the cars). Wishful thinking but highly doubted.

YOLOcoaster more like YOCSTWIARcoaster (You only close Superman two Winters in a row)

[JonnyRCT3]

Something tells me the ride will be closed months before we will see any work.

Wasn't it three?

 

Winter of 2010 to turn the cars backwards

Winter of 2011 to install Lex Luthor

Winter of 2012 to install Full Throttle

"YOLO" Banned...

 

List of "banned" words for 2013

 

Lake Superior State University 2013 List of Banished Words

 

YOLO (you only live once)

 

"Stands for 'You Only Live Once' and used by wannabe Twitter philosophers who think they've uncovered a deep secret of life. Also used as an excuse to do really stupid things, such as streaking at a baseball game with YOLO printed on one's chest. I only live once, so I'd prefer to be able to do it without ever seeing YOLO again." Brendan Cotter, Grosse Pte. Park, Mich.

 

"Used by teens everywhere to describe an action that is risky or unconventional, yet acceptable because 'you only live once.' Who lives more than once?" P.P., Los Angeles, Calif.

 

"Just gives people,especially teens, a reason to do stupid things. I find it annoying and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here." Daniel, Hickory, NC

 

"Only a real yoyo would use the term 'yolo.'" Sandra McGlew, White Lake, Mich.

And anyone who seriously uses YOLO should be removed from humanity.

[simaticable]

Apparently double down is also a banned word... Of course it's political and is not roller coaster related.

[daveydo5172]

How about next winter they close it and have a "NYE Ball Drop" from the tower with a large concert their at the park, some mega-band! Never mind, thats kinda lame.

[Brassinthegrass]

As my students say, "YOLO is just the modern wannabe of Carpe Diem."

The Year YOLO Ruined Everything

[Legoguy1395]

So could YOLO's construction actually pick up now? I read somewhere that something something finial budget they had to wait for the end of the year to start building. So they might be starting soon.

That link is amazing!

I did hear rumors about this, but it'd be miracle if the park does take advantage of this opportunity to redesign the tunnels.

[SFMMGeek27]

Three of SFMM's trams are parked in the yard behind Apocalypse. Wonder if the rumor about the new buses or trams is true? Strange.

 

Also, I was the last one on Apocalypse in 2012. The world did end!!!

Maybe they should close the Slingshot and use that instead. At least it wouldn't upset anybody.

Lake superior is not particularly near cedar point imo, so why do they do that?

This may actually be true (while also kinda pathetic) since Six Flags uses a calendar year end as their fiscal year end.

 

What is Six Flags’ fiscal year end?

The company’s fiscal year end is December 31 of each calendar year.

Or KFC-related. That's the only way I can think of it anymore.
