The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[WFChris]

^Guys, you are discussing a FOX NEWS article in a way that you actually expect FOX NEWS to present a valid and relevant story! Come on, now!

[SFMMGeek27]

I'll be there on Sunday!

 

Meanwhile... Are we getting a hint at the NEW name for Colossus?

[scottiemon]

Has anybody went to Honda ERT? I was curious on how it worked. Do they give you a "ticket" confirming that you are driving a Honda when you arrive at the parking booth? The website states you just show your Honda key and admission ticket for early entry to the park.

The reason I am asking this is because our family has two cars. The wife typically drives the Honda, and will be unavailable to me this Friday. Can I still get in with only my key, even though I did not arrive in my Honda?

 

^^^Anybody^^^

 

I'm guessing you needed this info for today... But I'll post about it anyway. When I went, they were letting anybody into the parking lot but they had Honda employees outside the parking booths handing out vouchers for free parking to people in Hondas.

 

As for early admission, you just show a key right outside the park gates so you don't need to have the vehicle there, just the key. However, when I went it was ERT for Scream and Colossus and they didn't have the rides ready in time so the gates didn't open until 9:50, if I remember correctly. Still enough time for 2 rides on each before heading to the back of the park before everyone else got in and walking on Batman and Riddler's Revenge.

 

Yes, I did go today, and it was just as you stated, thank God. Today was Goliath and Drop of Doom. Strange day today. Got on Throttle in a half hour at 2:15, and X2 in 10 minutes at 4:30. Saw people with flash passes and felt a bit sorry for them. Unless you wanted to ride Colossus, there were no crazy lines. 8 hours, 15 rides, magic show, and lunch at the FT sports bar. A great day indeed.

I went to Huricane Harbor yesterday and it was dead. Even the fast pass add-on was closed.

I'll be there on Sunday!

 

Meanwhile... Are we getting a hint at the NEW name for Colossus?

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

Esspecially since Colossus is prominently featured in the PIC as well as the last name.

[loop-de-loop]

They just confirmed on Twitter that the name is in that Facebook post.

I'm going with Xtreme Collosus.

My guess is California Colossus.

[SFMMGeek27]

I'm gonna go out and make a guess...

 

XTREME WOODIE!

 

Or BIG QUEUE!

 

Seriously... It could be Giga or Mega Colossus.

[thrillseeker4552]

^^^Interesting. One of the possible endings on that chart is "Colossus", so my guess is "Twisted Colossus", "Screamin' Colossus", or...in true SFMM fashion..."Epic Colossus".

[SingleRiderCam]

I'm not thinking about any of those names. Can't you all see that the Colossus name will be out and the coaster might be named Big Dipper? I know that Prince Desmond will be happy for the name.

It could be a two-word combo name, "Titan Xtreme"??? I guess we'll all see soon enough....

I see 'X3' in the rollercoaster last names..

 

My guess is California Colossus

[Manic Monte]

Hmmmm... What a relief there is no Iron or Steel in there.

 

Mega Colossus.

[SFOGdude25]

I'll be a little sad to see the original Colossus go away. It's one of my personal favorite classic designs. Its massive white wash structure is just beautiful (although not so beautiful now that so much of the paint has flaked away). If RMC is coming in to do their magic, I really hope they build it so that it still has a "classic coaster" look to it.

 

For a name, I'm gonna go with Mega Colossus, as I can see Six Flags raising the height of the lift hill to around 200 ft to make it the first hyper hybrid coaster.

[coasterlvr]

skip Mega and go with Giga Colossus! lol

 

that lift hill is really long. give it some angle and it can make it to 300ft.

Please let the name of the ride be Water Sisters. Please let the name of the ride be Water Sisters. Please let the name of the ride be Water Sisters. Please let the name of the ride be ...

[coasterfreak101]

I'm gonna assume we're looking at Mega Colossus. Though I'd really like to take this opportunity to put a vote towards Mecha Colossus.

[Xmeister]

The worst name I could come up with is Xtreme X3, but why do they have "Queue" as an option?!?!? It's not like it's going to be "Xtreme Queue"

 

What was the ride's name in National Lampoon Vacation? Maybe the fact that they had all of those displays about the movie could somehow be a clue. Because you can't really do the ride's actual name on the chart since it's only one word.

 

Edit: The ride's name was Screemy Meemy which on the chart came out to "Screaming Medusa." I seriously doubt that would be the name...

So much for that theory.

[A113]

Come on, guys... elementary PR stunt. The name is obviously going to stay as Colossus.

Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking, too!

[Xmeister]

I'd bet money on them keeping the word Colossus in the name, but I think it'll still have a word in front of it. What about King Colossus? This whole time since they announced the closure they've been calling the ride "The King of Roller Coasters".

[Her0ofLime]

I'll be there on Sunday!

Nuclear Colossus, calling it now.

Although my roller coaster name, Dueling Knight, doesn't sound too bad.

[SimiGeek]

I think the name will be something Colossus like mega colossus or what not.

King isn't one of the words on the list.

[Xmeister]

^That's odd I could have sworn I saw it on there. Guess these eyes ain't what they used to be...
