VTown661 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thank you! Â Today Saturday was a tough day starting out with a full freeway closure of I-5 around 9:45. It took some time (paper says 1 hr) to get it all cleaned up and get to SFMM. This accident was at Calgrove North and sort of like no mans land with no off ramps behind it except back about 5 miles to Roxford or re-direct to the 14. Oh well enough about that. Â It was Hot.... It was crowded .... Its was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singemfrc Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Anyone at the park right now?? How are crowds? I know someone who's there. It's moderately busy but not really crazy, just really hot out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternate Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 So excited for Twisted Colossus! The way it deviates from the animation is just making it even harding to wait! So INSANE! Can't wait for all of the airtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for all of the airtime  the only real deviation i see is the block brake. the double down has a minor twist, but nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoKat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Does anyone plan to go to SFMM in May (or June) this year? I'll be flying to California for my grandpa's 90th birthday, but then also looking to hit one of my favorite parks up, yes, SFMM, so it'll be like a trip and vacation all in one for me. Â It'd be great to spend a day or two with other ride enthusiasts, and a bonus if anyone was able to provide me with any rides in exchange for me to provide gas money, buy ya lunch, etc., (otherwise I'll be looking at the LA bus system to get me around). Â The Twisted Collosus has me excited to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing for sure....you can forget about the bus. I know there is a way to do it, but depending how far you are, it is most likely not practical. Consider renting a car? Maybe Uber...

There are plenty of people on here who visit the park semi-regularly, but unless someone is traveling from out of state it would be unlikely they would make plans months in advance. You might be able to find someone willing to give you a lift and hang out for the day (heck, I'd be up for it if I was available and you happened to be staying somewhere convenient), but you'll have difficulty planning for a May or June trip at this point. If you can't get a ride, your best option would be to rent a car, or if absolutely necessary use Uber or similar. Taking the bus to SFMM is not worth it, IMO.  Also, if you're hoping to ride Twisted Colossus I wouldn't plan your trip before mid-June. While it's looking like a Memorial Day weekend opening is likely, delays have been known to happen with recent Six Flags projects. I absolutely would not expect it to be open anytime before late May based on the current state of construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of workers from San Pedro, Arcadia, No Hollywood, and of course the Antelope Valley. So it must be doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â anyway, depending on heat and schedule, i'm always up for a magic mountain day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have vacation from work May 16-20. If Twisted Colossus is open (or soft open) by that time period then I'll definitely be going to SFMM that week and then SFFT in September. If not, then I'll go to Six Flags Fiesta Texas for the soft open of Batman on May 17th and then come back to SFMM when I have more vacation in September. I usually only do one day, but when TC opens it's going to have an insane queue and no FlashPass, so I'll probably be spending a lot of time in that line, so I'll probably end up doing two days. Yikes..hate to see you have to take the bus. If you're nearby the park I wouldnt mind giving you a ride to the park..as long as I dont have to fight the traffic of Los Angeles proper. I usually fly into Burbank (when I dont just drive down) and stay at the Hilton Garden Inn right across the street from the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimiGeek Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 According to the site: https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain/store/season-dining-pass-sale, It appears they are now going to start charging for the snack option in addition to the t traditional dinning pass.

DoubleDown Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015  Many employees at SFMM travel and use all the bus systems to get to SFMM. I know of workers from San Pedro, Arcadia, No Hollywood, and of course the Antelope Valley. So it must be doable.  that must be a rotten commute from San Pedro all the way there.  Probably. And yeah, they probably get up super early. But combine the cheap commute with having a JOB I wouldn’t doubt it happens.  IdahoKat: If you have an extra $100 to spend to get around, and pretty much figure you're going solo, I would suggest spoiling yourself *a little bit* and renting a car. If you have a Costco Card, even better: One time my car was in the shop, and I rented a brand new Sentra from Enterprise for $109 for a WEEK, and they even picked me up and dropped me off.  Otherwise drop a PM with the details. I'm itching for a trip to the Mountain, and will probably take several once Twisted Colossus opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRCT3 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 While it's not quite yet a large Intamin-y ejector hill, that's the best-looking RMC airtime hill to come! Way sharper than in the animation. Sometimes, it's the simple things that work best. Â By the way, preview of the element: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj1990 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Maybe it's just me but it looks like the picture is taken at an angle that just makes the hill a bit sharper than what it truly is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
