ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Pfft...that's just a cash grab for the parks.... I agree. (Feel nickel and dimed to death). I'd be okay with paying like 10'bucks with the ability to drop in and out of all the sets near rides... We have that at Six Flags St. Louis. Does Magic Mountain not have the floating fluffy bunnies?

Nrthwnd Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 ^^ from the website... LOC-KERS - Guests will find loc-kers available for all-day rental in the Six Flags Plaza. Loc-kers are also available at select attractions for limited time storage of loose articles. lockers There. I said it. Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 What St. Louis has is a system where you can pay once and sign in and sign out to the fluffy bunnies near each ride as you want. So they're all day, but always near you. The question is really whether Magic Mountain has that system, or whether you have to pay individually for each fluffy bunny rental near the rides.

VTown661 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 West Coast Bash 2016 Tickets Now on Sale!http://www.themeparkreview.com/store/index.php?categoryID=22 Any idea what the "other company" is that we're sharing the park with on Saturday night, or what kind of attendance numbers they'll be contributing? I know that local radio station KROQ is giving away tickets for that date. I cant imagine they are giving away enough to make a dent in attendance, but they do seem to be promo blasting out a crap load of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barley101 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi there everyone.. I've been stalking these boards for a few weeks as I prepare a trip to SFMM for my family and my sisters family. The 8 of us heading there this coming Saturday from AZ. We are originally from the valley, and had season passes in years gone by.. but it's been 15-20 years since either my sister or I have been.. Looking forward to everything new. So, pretty much everything. As much as I'd love to be hitting up the Log Jammer and Freefall (two of my all-time favorites), and a quick trip around Swiss Twist and Spin-Out... I guess Goliath, TC, and X2 will have to do. I've taken my kids to Disney so many times, and I always can find reviews online for best tips and tricks to get around the park most efficiently, avoid congestion, etc.. but can't find anything on MM.. crazy! So, I have a couple questions for you locals: I have seen in previous posts that attendance is down in general this summer... Will the fires keep even more people away this weekend you think? How are the fires? And air quality, etc.. ? Thanks for any help and advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm grateful, cause we wouldn't have the whole park otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I have a couple questions for you locals: I have seen in previous posts that attendance is down in general this summer... Will the fires keep even more people away this weekend you think? How are the fires? And air quality, etc.. ? Thanks for any help and advice! While attendance is down, it's not by much. They just aren't hitting the lofty projections that they had based on last year. Last year was the first year in a while that the park actually crossed 3 million visitors and they are down from that number so far. However, day to day it really only translates to a few hundred or a thousand less visitors per day which isn't significant enough to really notice. Anyhow... ...The fire, while yes it started off the 14 right on the edge of Santa Clarita, I don't think has had much of an effect on attendance. For the most part, besides one day when the 14 closed, there have been no major road closures that would effect the park. Beyond that, the wind has been pretty consistently blowing south and east meaning Santa Clarita (especially on the other side of the valley where Magic Mountain is located) has been spared the majority of the smoke and ash. Granted, that isn't to say that the air quality is great because its super hazy and smoke doesn't have to be distinctly visible for it to be an issue. TL;DR, you're going on a Saturday so it will be the highest attended day of the week no matter and it will be busy. If you are particularly sensitive to bad air quality than take the necessary precautions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 HEY SIX FLAGS!!!. Why arent you using your massive property to help with the fire?...evacuation spot, seeing as how all the others are getting full or chased out by the fire...do something right for once...god forbid you have to close for a day or two, people shouldnt be out at amusement parks in this horrible air anyway....im sure the residents of santa clarita are at least a notable portion of MM's income, how about giving back?......no? ...didnt think so I guess you have yet to see the gravel portion of the parking lot as you must valet or hdcp park only. Six Flags always steps up huge for the community of SCV and technically they aren't in the SCV (tax reasons) but in LA County. A large portion of gravel has been turned into a mini city for So Cal Edison Emergency crews and in a sense you can now say SFMM now has restrooms in the parking lot.

Jew Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I will have a full midsummer scream trip report soon, but until then, Six Flags announced some new offerings for Fright Fest this year... The big news is that Gotham City will be home to the Suicide Squad this year! They also announced "Aftermath 2: Chaos Rising" will be coming to Psyclone Bay and be the largest maze they have ever done at 40,000sqft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that..maybe they're just talking about the regular flash pass. The gold or platinum flash passes would always be a help because they cut whatever the wait is by 50-90%, but if you know you're going that day, I strongly recommend buying the flash pass online ahead of time because they are likely to sell out.

vedved82491 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The rumors of that "biggest maze yet" in Cyclone Bay makes me think they're going to utilize Deja Vu's old queue area, especially considering they cleaned it out over the last several months.

Jew Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 ^It's not a rumor. They announced at their panel. It will be 40,000sqft somewhere in Psyclone Bay, so Deja Vu's space would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
