Jew Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 An inside source has given us some steamy details on Mariah and Nick's tacky Magic Mountain wedding party - namely what went down in the loo. First off, Mimi had her own private pot to piss in, with guards right outside the bathroom -- you know, to keep her friends out. Fear not, M and N went all-out making sure their guests were comfy in their non-private sh***ers. We're told the boys' bathrooms had tissues, a cup full of gum, and a candle. The ladies were treated to pink mats, gum, Listerine, and a basket full of hairspray. Our source also revealed that the newlyweds were driven around the park in a golf cart. And that at all times, Mariah was followed by a hairstylist and makeup artist. It's like that, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 24 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 There are new pictures up on the official website. If you look at the first picture, there is something on the train we have not seen before which the arrows are pointing out. Then if look at the second picture from WCB there is nothing there. Can this possibly be speakers for the on-board audio we heard about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 OOOoooOOO! Speakers! That would be awesome if those turned out to be what we think they are. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm impressed. I didn't think they'd go thought the trouble of putting on-board speakers on the ride... I wonder what the music will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I am impressed that Six Flags is going this route and not taking short cuts (rock n Scream). I am wondering if the music is going to be any thing like whats in the commercial that is now playing on TV. It dose fit the ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZCXLw3mQOI&feature=related I guess we'll find out next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Psyclone Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Funny if those really are onboard speakers. I wonder if that was always the plan, or since when. Tim Burkhart pretty much dismissed the notion at WCB, saying onboard audio systems are very heavy and expensive. I'm glad they worked it out, because I think the "Scream!" setup just wasn't cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrs28330 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 As long as we are talking about X2... Here are some picture of new light on X2's lift: Notice the round white lights, as well as the red LED flat lights up the length of the entire lift.

SFMM100 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 i cant rely see X2 in the dark...... what would look really cool if on the bottom of the coaster there was blinking red flashes of light that would make it look more thrilling.... the down side is that it might cause segures....

Tim Burkhart pretty much dismissed the notion at WCB, saying onboard audio systems are very heavy and expensive. Our group got this same answer when I asked Tim this question during WCB. I'd be shocked if they got this together in less than 3 months. Not that I'd complain if he was withholding information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexinla Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I think it is really interesting that we are only a week away from the X2 opening and only know so little about the effects or changes. These speakerboxes really came out of nowere. Just wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexinla Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 It is Saturday and with no work or obligations, i was googleling online to look on Magic Mountains past(love the park, what can i say,lol) Did you know there were Buffalos at the park, oh yeah, BUFFALOS! As crazy as it seams, here is the link to it. http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lw7901a.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 ^ There was a full grown male lion at the Animal Farm years ago (early/mid-'70s) named Major. I remember seeing him once. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 On-board audio or not, I still look forward to see how the new trains will enhance the ride. Downtime or not, rough or smooth, X was a hard ride to top. I told guests all the time when they would ask me which rides were the best, I told them to save X for the finale.

Jew Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I heard the park had a rough weekend because of staffing...Guess that is what happens when your "120% staffing level" as they said at WCB is made up of mostly minors! I also heard they are not giving the X2 passes to people who bought/processed passes too early in the season. Not a strong start to summer?

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I said it when I worked there, and I'll say it now...Minors aren't the way to go, but the way it was explained to me, it is a hump they can't quite get over. When they have to cut overtime, it's hard to convince adults to drive from from the San Fernando Valley to work for six hours a day at 8.50 an hour. When they have it in the budget to staff people for 13-14 hours agian you'd see the adult employee rate increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trcg721 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hows the scavenger hunt going? I noticed a few orange markings around park, all about the same size. I believe that this will probably end up being for Six flags network media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine during the one day sale in December and got it processed the third weekend in January and I didn't get a pass. In fact I didn't even get a coupon book until my second visit in February.

ebl Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I could have gotten my X2 pass at WCB, but I was preoccupied and didn't get over to the Season Pass place. I did go back on a later visit and was told that they were no longer available. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yeah I don't get that being that we signed up during the time that we were told we would get one!!! I was even accused of lying this past weekend when they told me I didn't process my pass until May 11!?!?!? I felt like ripping into the guy but it wasn't worth it.

ebl Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 ^ Yeah, don't rip into anyone and make a mess. Remember, we want to keep the place clean because MY family goes there, too. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursemelis374 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 What are the X2 passes? Do you mean the coupon books they give out? My friends and I got our passes in December and picked up the coupon books without problem at WCB. One thing that frustrated me was we had our passes processed in December they told us we could only have one coupon book per order instead of one per pass. This seemed stupid to me. For one, no where on the website did it say that when we were ordering. Also, we were saving everyone work by ordering them together. I decided to not argue at that moment in time and would deal with it when we actually picked up the books. I emailed using the form on the website but received no response. Sure enough when we went to get the coupon books at WCB they gave each of us one with no questions asked. I just wonder if anyone lost out because of what they were told.

NYTrojan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 It's sounding more and more like no X2 fastpass... which makes me wonder if they will honor the fast passes that did get passed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme-me Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 After reading several posts, Im hearing about a new loading system that they have for the ride. Does anyone know what exactly that is or looks like? is it like the loading system for the other S&S 4D coaster with the dropping floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
