SFMMGeek27 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Why is Presidents Day weekend so much busier than MLK Day weekend? I am really curious why, since ey are essentially the same type of weekend.
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 ^ Maybe a month more of Passholders? Generally better weather?
Wes Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 The weather was basically perfect this weekend, wasn't MLK weekend pretty cold?

Â Christmas break hangover. Students are still getting back into the swing of things and people are still worrying about holiday expenses.

_IntaMAN_ Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) That's good, hopefully we should oh see supports and track going up by the end of next week, unless it rains again.  EDIT: Link removed. That site is banned from TPR for a reason. Please respect that-Joey  DOUBLE EDIT: There is a crane at Magic Mountain. That is all anyone needs to know about the subject of this post Edited February 20, 2013 by _IntaMAN_
empires Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Am I the only one who can't see the link for the construction pics??
XYZ Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Am I the only one who can't see the link for the construction pics?? Â The site is blocked by TPR (for some reason). Though, I found the link and it really isn't anything special other than some pictures of cranes.
SharkTums Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ^It's blocked because the guy that runs it likes to trash TPR and thinks he's really awesome because he posts dirt pictures. Â Like what was said earlier, there's not much going on.
VTown661 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Heck of a storm just off coast of Ojai should be hitting Throttle area at SFMM within 2 hours and just might be snowing soon. Â Crane is very noticeable from I-5 that is if you are looking in that direction and not texting.
Xmeister Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see snow at SFMM tonight. In Escondido you could literally see ice forming on the ground. Cue Southern Californian news stations acting like the apocolyspe has come.
Someotherguyuser Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Just took a survey for new attractions for next year and here's what I put on what I would like to see: Â *Note that I made myself try to sound like a GP as much as possible so that I did not sound like I'm not apart of their core audience. Â I would like to see more rides in a building like Disneyland to cool off from the whether. Roller coasters are fun, but I want a ride to take a break on. Also I want to see more roller coasters that have the flying out of your seat feeling like Texas Giant. Â Hopefully they won't catch on that I'm someone from TPR and void it. Â *Link removed* After taking the survey, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to post the link on here. One of the sections they asked about is confidential. I just found it interesting that they asked a lot about the Universal and Disney themed rides though (Which wasn't in the "Secret section". Â And to be honest, I would like to see SFMM try to have a dark ride in their park. I would love to see that Justice League ride they opened up in Movie World in the park.
JRHcoasterki Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ^ haha You did a good job sounding like a GP! *claps*
Andrewoplis Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 But this being Magic Mountain, there's a good chance that a dark will never happen, but it would be really cool!
robbalvey Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Did anyone make it out to the park this weekend to take pictures?
c0sterfreek Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I'm going to the park this Saturday. It's been 4 years since I've been there. Anyone care to take a guess on how crowds will be? I see that the weather is looking pretty nice so I have no idea. Also does anyone have tips on what order to go in ride wise? I'm going with a group of people who have never been before so they are trusting me! One more thing, we are traveling with a two year old and I was wondering if they have the partent swap thing like other parks have where one rides and the other partent waits and rides after.
Chrisrad Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ^ Unless you're with TPR, or you have Q-Bots, avoid SFMM on Saturdays.
SFMMGeek27 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 It shouldn't be bad. If you time it right you could be on everything and out by 4PM. If you're in the right place at the right time (basically just don't follow the GP path or be the first one on it) then the logest wait you'll have is 45 min, even on a Saturday.
VTown661 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 And don't forget this Sunday the 24th is "Ticket #1" in the "Fun Book" for BRING A FREE FRIEND DAY for season pass holders of the fun book. This weekend should be back to more normal as it was slammed last weekend during presidents weekend holiday. Looks like great weather (for feb anyway) again this weekend. Â I offered pictures a few weeks ago but nobody wanted any. Tell me 4 pictures you want and I will take them Sat or Sunday and that's 4 only and not of piles of dirt as I don't really care about build out of a ride or logos of a big "S" that needs repainting. Â Perhaps you want a picture of a new drinking fountain or perhaps like to see the new colors on the Rock Wall Challenge or new prizes available in the gaming area. Maybe I could go Rambo like The Woo and do some undercover assignment in Suzette's bakery and film them while they make me a funnel cake? .. 4 pictures and 4 pictures only taken from my IPhone3 .. ya sorry that's all I have.
SharkTums Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ^But what if I only want 3 pictures??? Â Seriously, your post makes little to no sense, are you trying to be funny? I really can't tell.
BeemerBoy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Just took a survey for new attractions for next year and here's what I put on what I would like to see:Â *Note that I made myself try to sound like a GP as much as possible so that I did not sound like I'm not apart of their core audience.

Well, then posting it here was a brilliant move.
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Was supposed to go to the park Monday but ended up working instead. Â Don't think I'll be up this weekend but if I am I'll take pictures.

Myself Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Premier Rides has just posted a photo of the crane ready for action:
