I'm down for this plan.

[JJLehto]

Last 2 I've committed early just to have school and/or finances get in the way. This year I'm far more confident I can make it, but I'll temper my excitement and just say for now Im glad WCB info is up and I look forward to more

Ok ... you know that when something prompts me to take the time to actually log onto this forum and post, that it's a big friggin deal!!!

 

HOORAY!!!!!! West Coast Bash 2015 freaking rocked. I cannot wait for this year's event <3 <3

Can't wait for West Coast Bash and to finally get to ride Ghost Rider, cause what girl doesn't like riding a nice woodie.

Just a heads up. The re-track might not be rough enough for you

I'm planning to be at the park this upcoming Sunday, Feb 14th (Valentine's Day). Saturday and Sunday are my only options as I'll only be in the LA area for the weekend before I fly to Australia for Study Abroad.

 

Has anyone ever been on Valentine's weekend before? Hopefully everyone is out doing lame things like going to dinner and eating chocolates so that the lines are short

 

Also, if anyone would like to tag along just shoot me a message, as I'll be going to the park alone and riding buddies are always welcome!

[coasterfreak11]

^ Same question as him! Thinking of doing a weekend trip and hitting up the park on Saturday. Weather looks amazing and I know it's a longer weekend for most (President's Day). Any ideas on how crowded park can be expected to be? I imagine much lighter crowds then in late spring/summer?

[thrillseeker4552]

^I visited yesterday on Super Bowl Sunday and crowds were heavier than expected. Most lines were around 20 minutes, with Tatsu, Twisted Colossus, and Goliath around 30 minutes. My prediction is that the crowds will be there (don't expect it to be deserted), but it will definitely be more tolerable than summer, of course.

 

All rides should be running two trains (TC on 3) except Full Throttle (they might bring the second one out by this weekend, but yesterday it was on one). Make sure you get a ride on the green train of TC...it's amazing how much smoother and faster it feels.

[EastCoastKid]

Thanks for that info. 20/30 minute lines are definitely tolerable! Hopefully by Sunday they have that second train on Yolo.

So on the MM website, i was looking at getting some flash passes for our upcoming visit in March (1st week of spring break - oh goody).

 

If all the dates for the flash passes in March are greyed out would it mean they are all sold out already, or just not yet available for sale?

[Jew]

Not yet available.

So, with the Wizarding World now open softly, I'm guessing Magic Mountain is probably going to lose a big chunk of the President's Day crowd to Universal. Might be a good day to go.

Doubtful. Universal will have tons of pass holders blacked out.

I wouldn't bet on that.

 

Fortunately for the park, unfortunately for SFMM park goers, in my experience big openings at other parks have rarely affected the crowds that decide they want to visit Magic Mountain. While big ticket items bring crowds for other parks, locals decide to go to Magic Mountain with their friends to get on the mega-coasters, and that's it. I personally would avoid the park on President's day.

I thought Universal lifted all the black out days in February?
