The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Nicholas Loya]

Actually JB's BBQ near the rock climbing wall and riddlers revenege is pretty good, and I haven't heard anything bad about it!

[rolercstrluvr]

^ I'm pretty sure there isn't a Chick-fil-A at SFMM. As for food, Mooseburger is good, as is JBs Smoke House, besides that everything else is pretty bad. I would recommend the Panda Express but it only serves pre-made meals that aren't too bad.

 

I meant to add in when i'm in the area.

I was there on Tuesday, and I found some interesting things in the Flags store:

Yes, it's real. A SFMM YOLO shirt!

Closeup...why? Because YOLO, that's why!

On another note- YOLOmerch is in!

YOLO keychains, iPhone skins, and magnetic frames!

It's in 3D...also known as YOLOvision!

More YOLOmerch!

One of the shirt designs.

Another YOLOshirt.

Yet another YOLOshirt!

Take some YOLOshots!

Or an even bigger YOLOshot! It has the YOLOcoaster logo at the top, and says "Live it. Be it. Ride it." The "Thrill Levels" are: Fearless, Brave, Daring, Gutsy, and Bold.

It's a YOLOpack!

Reusable YOLOcup!

Another YOLOcup!

YOLOjacket!

YOLOlogo.

"Elite"? Really?

re: Yolo merchandise, it looks left over from the Spinal Tap concert.

 

As for food, the place I've eaten at during my SFMM visits is the hot bar at the nearby Whole Foods. I trust SF's mechanics but not their food service.

[TyRush]

All those shirt designs looks YOLOcool but I dont get it, what is the "theme" so to speak? Now we have skulls and crap!?

[RandallDuell]

Time will not be kind to either that logo or that motto.

[netdvn]

^^ The ride doesn't really have a theme. The t-shirt designs look to be based off of those shirts bikers wear. I'd say some of those designs actually look nice. Much better than the overdesigned crap some parks put out.

[DBJ]

The design reminds me of Knott's really poorly done "ride warriors" merchandise. Maybe though it is the trend for Knott's and SFMM merch demo to wear this biker meets hot topic style of shirts?

[alilstronger]

All of that merchandise looks tacky to me. But that is my opinion.

[Randomman295]

Standard SF fare, it wasn't anything I wasn't expecting from a new "Hardcore" ride. Looks halfway decent in my opinion, and I'm probably going to get a shot glass to add to my collection. I'mma put it next to my Tatsu one.

 

I'm still trying to decide whether or not the coaster in those first two photos is a Intamin Hyper mixed with a Premier Spaghetti Bowl or not.

[Sir Clinksalot]

Anybody happen to notice that the coaster reflected in the glasses does not exist at SFMM. Not the first time this has happened.

 

[alpengeist04]

^At least they're still in the SF chain. ...Superman & Joker's Jinx.

[AllenA07]

I'm just not digging this whole theme. I think the ride looks like it's going to a be a whole lot of fun, but I think the theme just plain sucks.

[necoastergp]

I actually don't mind the logo, but the biker-esque merchandise with the skulls is just random, wtf? sigh

[singemfrc]

The theme is just anything "YOLO"...skulls, flames, anything cheesy. Reminds me of the old "No Fear" shirts in the 90s. Agree with AllenA07, I don't care for the theme, but the ride does look fun, and that's really all that matters to me.

[alilstronger]

I really do not think its the theme of the ride. More just the direction the merchandise is going on. With the success of red neck reality shows I can definitely see why they are using this look.

[TyRush]

I think they are cool logos, just dont get how it fits a ride based of of YOLO.

 

YOLOconfusion

[jray21]

The merchandise seems on par for SFMM!

[bostonlva]

wonder how much longer till they test

[GayCoasterGuy]

Brave, Daring and Gutsy? They need one of these for Revolution.

 

[Angry_Gumball]

You'll need to take a shot before and after your ride on Revolution One to get you to ride it, and one to take your mind off of what just happened to your poor cranium.

[GayCoasterGuy]

^And a tissue to wipe away the tears when you realize what a GREAT ride is underneath all that crap.

 

I was thinking about YOLO... 70mph doesn't seem awfully fast enough to complete a 160' vertical loop. Did I miss something? Is it going to crawl over the top?

[Swornenemy]

^ superman at sfdk only hits about 60mph and it is 150 ft tall. 70 should get it through the loop, might be a little hang time but it should make it no problem.

[coasterfreak101]

^70-75mph gets quite a handful of Intamin rockets up 200 feet in the air. I'm pretty sure this one can make it 160.

[necoastergp]

I am really intrigued to see this one start testing. I wanna how it looks moving along its course before passing too much judgement.
