The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[robbalvey]

^ Yeah, I can tell you with great certainty (as much as I love it), Volcano is not the most popular ride at Kings Dominion. It just appears that way because it always has an insanely long line...due to low capacity.

[Xmeister]

I think the most exciting part of the ride looks like it might be that climb up the Mountain and then the hairpin into the tunnel. I hope in a few years the trees will grow in and add in an extra thrill.

What is everyone's take on Tim Burkhart? Is he anywhere near as beloved as Jay Thomas?

 

Considering the high turnover rate with the people in his department (they jump ship for other parks/better companies as quickly as possible), I'm guessing he is not very well liked...

It definitely COULD be completed relatively quick, but it is SFMM! Glad to see it finally go vertical, though.

Sadly no, I didn't make it.

[JJLehto]

LOL

So there's more than just an empty dirt space now!

 

You guys weren't kidding...all the other 2013 rides either complete, or making great progress and here track has finally started to be placed.... oh six flags

Did the Gatekeeper crew head to SFMM? Looking good!

And know we know about the "Yolo" advertisement, you get your hands chopped off while going into the tunnel YOLO!!!

[coasternut]

^ Great pictures and I love the Gatekeeper comment.

[bostonlva]

Nice update.... Working fast it seems

[robbalvey]

Thanks for the pics! We will tweet and FB post about them! Anyone else going to the park who can get more pics like these, we will gladly give you lots of coverage!

[Wes]

Nice to see some progress! That dive looks like it will be intense!

 

 

Argggg that little missing patch on the bottom of the S is going to give me OCD fits until they fix it.

[cmullin]

Nice pictures! Looks great, glad it finally went vertical. Seems like construction is finally picking up

I actually like the color scheme, and I didn't in the video. No stupid Magenta or lime mixed with red. Sometimes simple is better.

When did you see Magenta or anything in the video? I've seen a couple people say they were surprised it was white track/black supports and not other colors, and i'm pretty sure it looked white to me in the promo videos.

Honestly, they probably got some of the iRat crew. I remember someone saying before that Six Flags uses the same construction teams across the country for the big stuff, so their projects are stacked in how they're scheduled. Just a thought!

I think you're misunderstanding what he's saying...

Okay I definitely get it now, sorry. Just disregard, lol.

I also like the Color scheme, its simple and looks nice...

You know, ever since Full Throttle was announced, people have complained about it for several reasons, but now that vertical construction has started and track has been installed, I think it will be a pretty awesome coaster! Simple yet unique at the same time.

I'm not sure you can really call it "complaining", its more like this:
