am1500 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just wondering. Does anyone think the park will be really packed tomorrow? (you know because schools aren't in on Monday and all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think it will be busier than typical for this holiday due to the incredible weather that is currently hitting the region. Still don't think it'll be outta control though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 For all those who complain about Revolution's roughness. Â Go ride Desert Storm at Castles n Coasters, then tell me how unridable Revolution is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The park was pretty dead while I was there today. Longest line was for the Season Pass processing. Even when I walked by Tatsu the line only seemed to be about 45 minutes and was just in the queue, not stretching out into to walkway. And this was before X2 opened. It was testing all morning but it seemed they were having some kind of issue. I think it opened later in the day. Green Lantern's queue was at least inside the building. Lex had about a 5 minute wait. I rode Ninja and Colossus and walked on both. Â By the time I left at about 1:30 the 2nd lot was only about 1/2 full. Â Also rode slingshot. I thought it was fun but I didn't realize you flipped so much on those. I just can't do stuff like that anymore. While I was sitting there for a bit (about 20 minutes) I didn't see anybody pay to ride. Â EDIT: I also saw today that with the new lockers you have the ability to rent a "locker pass" and move your stuff from ride to ride. Unfortunately it's $6 for only 2 hours so I'm not sure how much it will actually be used. I personally think that if it used to be $1 for an hour then it should be no more than $2 or $3 for 2 hours. I'd even go as far as to say $8-$10 for a full day would be the way to go. Will have to see if they modify this but it's a great idea!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I would pay upwards of $15 even $20 for an all day locker pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlva Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I would pay upwards of $15 even $20 for an all day fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo pass. I hope SFHH is getting these same lockers... Would be worth the money, and then you dont have to carry around that key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Starting last year they began using waterproof wristbands as keys to the lockers. It was nice and easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I just love this amazing park. But to tell the truth, Superman should be replaced by some more exciting coasters. How about a launch woodie hybrid by RMC? That's gonna be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disney4me2001 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 For all those who complain about Revolution's roughness. Go ride Desert Storm at Castles n Coasters, then tell me how unridable Revolution is.  Haha! I live in AZ, and I'm maybe about half an hour from Castles n Coasters. Haven't been on Desert Storm in years, but I do remember it being kind of rough the last time I was there! But then again, one nice thing about it is the fact that it's lap bars only (at least it was when I was there last). Just imagine how much more rough it would be if it had Revolution's restraint system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) January 19th - Six Flags Magic Mountain UPDATE! If you want to be part of the card carrying "cool kids club", you have to endure this painful initiation! * Pay Once Eat All Year not available to card carrying ACE members. What? There's construction going on here? OMG! Brand new Fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo! Lockers appear slightly bigger so you can fit larger bunnies filled with more goo! aka "People with no friends." Oh, please, please, PLEASE let "Storage Wars" do an episode from here!!! YUUUUUUUP! OMG! STOP THAT MACHINE!!! IT'S PUNCHING HOLES IN THE GROUND!!! Today we bring you an update on YOLOcoaster aka mounts of sexy dirt. "The guy said the treasure was buried under a large S... where could it be?" This is some stuff. This is actually a picture of SCREAM! It is NOT a picture of piece of steel pipes and bones out in the parking lot. Now this is a picture of Goliath. Please focus your attention on GOLIATH! Things are happening. More things going on here. Crazy hole punching machines has set up ferret cages!!!! This is where parking lot trans go to die. Or something like that. This is a picture of Goliath's BEAUTIFUL SUPPORT STRUCTURE! There is NOTHING ELSE in this photo of interest! ONLY Goliath's SUPPORT STRUCTURE!!! I'm pretty sure they are just using mashed potatoes to smooth out the earth's surface. "This MEANS something!" Looks like those raptors escaped their containment area again! That's not for a YOLOcoaster footer. This is the actual spot where E.T. used a Speak N Spell to phone home. Guy on bench is waiting it out until 2015 when Superman re-opens. (Jokes, jokes...it was actually open!) OMFG!!! It's, it's..... DIRT!!! "Wow we really f**ked up this area good, didn't we?" It's something. Whoops! Sorry about the mess! The moose out front should have told you... This is where the go-go dancers will be right before the train enters the tunnel. OH!!! IGNORE THE BLUE WALL! THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!!

Pink ribbon and ferret cages!!! WOW WOW WUBBZY!!!! If you're part of the REALLY REALLY cool kids club, you only have to wait in this eleventy hour line to get your card. $2? Load me up with that crisp crisp crispy chicken, bitches!!! The high-tech fluffy fluffy bunnies have told me these words. For $6 I can penetrate them with my stuff. SOLD! Random Employee guy doesn't look worried at all... They are about to blast off on this all-new Slingshot! Congrats! Six Flags Magic Mountain is finally up to the level of quality attractions as places like Old Town in Kissimmee! Â Thanks for reading! Thanks Greg for the pics. Now... POST. YOUR. COMMENTS!!!! Â If any of you are going to the park in the next couple of weeks and would like to contribute some photos, please email me!

_IntaMAN_ Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Now that I look at those pics, Tatsu and Scream are in desperate needs of paint jobs.... Â Nice update, will most likely go to the park next Sunday and will update whatever I can. Really happy to see S:EFK operating during construction, that's a +1 for SFMM!

SharkTums Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Oh man Tatsu really is looking faded. Also, now hoping for a big rain storm to wash out that area where they're storing track! I really thought they stopped storing stuff over there after a bunch of that land fell into the wash a bunch of years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Six Flags did nothing to promote the Slingshot? No wonder they almost wen't bankrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Wow, they have at least two footers prepped and track onsite before May, looks like SFMM is actually stepping up their game to try and open a new attraction before July.

Thunderhead Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm glad someone else noticed the faded paint. That looks so trashy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think MM finally realized that the sun is NOT their friend, hence the white color of FT. Scream is just, ughh. It already in the worst possible location, and the color scheme makes it look even more out of place. And now with this faded paint........yep, it just screams MM. High Quality!

Koasterking48 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow Tatsu looks so pathetic right now! I also really think Scream's color scheme was awful in the first place. Really bad color combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
