Speeddeamon128 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't think it will be taller than 400 ft since Superman: The Escape is 415 ft tall. It might break the speed record like the one in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 In the Terminator thread, I shared a link to the construction site of Terminator, but I didn't mention that Mr. Six is now on the main page of that site, replacing that Asian guy, but keeping the "More Flags, More Fun" slogan. Â My guess is that Mr. Six is indeed back and the Asian guy is out? Â If so, thank you Six Flags. That guy was...annoying at best. Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Of course, what could be better than a dancing old guy riding roller coasters  And yeah, I was very glad when I saw he was back. It'll be good. I'm sure everyone (including General Public) will be glad to see him back. Bye Asian guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyBreath Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes I'm glad they brought Mr. Six back my little ones always would scream and dance when the Mr. Six commericals came on. They pay pretty much no attention to the new SF commericals with the asain dude, except when Tatsu comes on and they scream daddy daddy I want to get on that ride and my reply asusual is your to little for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 YES! I nearly pissed my pants with excitement when I went to the Six Flags site today and saw Mr. Six smiling at me! It's about damn time! He's the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath513 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Glad to see Mr Six back. Will the Vengaboys be coming back to the Six Flags scene too?

thrillgeek Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Anyone know if the Q-bots are up and running yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 As of last weekend the qbots were not up and still looked far away from completion. I'm hoping for soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 In the mean time, I'm assuming they are still using the flashpass tickets? And if so, can Xtreme passholders still get those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanlv Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^I was wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just an opinion, but I think it would be nice to continue offering Xtreme passholders the paper FlashPass tickets until the Q-Bot version is up and running. Â I almost went out there today, but the impending rain made that decision for me. Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travanx Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Went on Saturday as it wasn't raining at the moment in LA. It was raining pretty hard while on the offramp to exit to the park. I was amazed to see X2 going even with the flames! Asked the parking guy about closing. And they told me only in large wind storms and lightning. So we go in thinking its going to rain the rest of the day and people are leaving. Go in and the lines are short!! We rode X2 twice in a row. Didn't even have to wait the 2nd time. So obviously it was so slow that they were kind of waiting for more people on some of the rides. I got a picture of Riddlers Revenge with no one in the queue area. And tatsu was only filling half the train. We weren't the only ones talking about the rainy days around this time in SoCal are the best times to go to Magic Mountain.

SFMM100 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^ yup that's true in 08 i went one day when it was raining and i got to get on all the rides. Except Deja Vu and Superman. They were closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyb67 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I can only hope it is rainy/cloudy when I get there in June , as I refuse to wait more than about 30 minutes on any ride... yet I read of 2 hour waits on some of these.. crazy .... Â Even though the coasters are rubbish in Australia at least I only have 3 minute waits on most of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ^ Remember that June is the start of summer in our hemisphere, so most likely, June will be quite hot here. If you can go during the week it won't be too bad, but you might seriously consider getting the Q-Bot. Â Since that isn't up and running yet, I don't know how much it is. No doubt you'll find out if you keep an eye on this thread. Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travanx Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 sorry X2 is no way going to be under 1 hour during the normal season, no matter what. You really should make a list of the must rides at the park, because I don't think its possible to ride everything during normal peak hours.

travanx Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Very true. I am tempted to now get season passes for hurricane harbor. But I was about to move to Sydney last year and our weather doesn't turn awesome until May-June. Â Since that isn't up and running yet, I don't know how much it is.

billyb67 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I will definitely be going on a weekday, if I am there before opening could I get straight down to x2 and tatsu and get them over with in the first half hour ? Â what would be a good order to do the main coasters ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travanx Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was told by the worker at X2 to go opposite around the park. Meaning Goliath first and make your way around and end at X2. I haven't attempted that path yet. But it kind of makes sense. The part that bothers me if X2 breaking down at the end of the day.

billyb67 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 thanks for that list  I suppose it really depends on the crowds on each day but is it possible to get it all done in one day ? or should I plan for two days there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It possible to get that list done by 2pm, even on the most crowed days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ^ No disrespect to you, but getting that list done in 3-1/2 hours is possible on an uncrowded day, but between crowds and walking to each ride, that would be quite a stretch. 15 coasters would mean riding five an hour, more or less. Â (Note: I say 3-1/2 hours because the park has been opening at 10:30 more and more as of late.) Â I've gone on days where there was hardly anyone in the park and couldn't ride all of those in that short a timespan. And I walk pretty fast, too. Maybe five or six hours would be more reasonable. Â But to make a long story short, yeah, you can ride all of SFMM's coasters in one visit, provided they're all open. Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
