The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I just saw a SFMM commercial and the track on the lift hill on Colossus appears to be painted blue. Anybody know whats up?

 

It is not Colossus. If you notice most of the rides and water slides in the commercial are not from MM/HH. I think it sucks if they're going to advertise that a ride is closing and come out and ride it one last time, they should at least show footage of the actual ride.

 

Hmm, it must be that other white dual tracked wooden coaster with a slightly curved first drop.

One more thing from my trip Friday. If you buy a 6x8 ride photo for $15 they give you a coupon for a 6x8 ride photo for $7. I used the coupon to buy another ride photo and the cashier handed me the coupon back so I guess you can just keep re-using it. Not a great deal since ride photos are way overpriced as it is, but not bad either if you only go there once every few years like myself.

 

one of the best things they have are the season pass usb sticks. i think it was 34.95, but all digital pics are one dollar. front gate, ride, character, etc. all the same. wish cedar fair had something similar. also wish they had all the on ride photos they used to.

 

i understand it's good for all six flags parks, too.

Are they still doing this? Would have been a great deal had I known. Is it advertised anywhere? Did a quick google search and I don't see it on their web page.

i don't think the season pass one is advertised. might be a small sign at the pickup area. I was told on my last visit that they "ran out" of USB drives and were now offering some online version, but the images cost $2 each now. so I hope they continue next year with the sticks. I had it last year too.

Cool, thanks. I'll be sure to look out for anything similar next time I'm at an amusement park in general. I'll be at WOF in KC in a month. Probably won't get back to SFMM for another 2 years or so if we go back to Cali again.

The coaster petitions were cute at first, but now they're just a waste. The park doesn't have too much room to expand, and fans complain if they have to wait even one season for MM to roll out a new coaster. I'm just as sad as everyone else about Colossus, but it will be pretty awesome to see what's coming next.

Actually, what if the "one of each" supporters made a petition to keep one side? Compromise, everybody's happy.

 

To be honest, the whole idea about a "classic" side and a more intense Iron Horse side of Colossus doesn't make much sense. Not only would it look strange, the Iron Horse side would be much more popular since the target audience of SFMM cares more about intensity than nostalgia.

I agree 100% that a 'classic' side and a 'new' side sounds dumb, but I wouldn't say that the SFMM crowd likes intensity. I mean, even here on TPR people are total babies when it comes to GL.

Well, Iron Horse Colossus is not going to be a torture device like Green Lantern and I think it's pretty obvious that the Magic Mountain clientele wants fast, intense, loopty-loop coasters.

If they really want intensity, then GL shouldn't have been neutered. Babies? The ride would be smoother if it rotated into the points of sudden force rather than continuously stayed upright due to balancing...
