Johnny Rockets could be on the way out of the parks as well!

They are keeping the apocalyptic theming only....anything and everything to do with "Terminator" is gone...including the name...

[Dietcokevan]

Salvation: the Ride. Nice and easy fix.

I'm going to miss the pre-show #2 right at the beginning. I'll miss the cleavage shot of Williams at the start of the show...

If they're going to take any cues from Flight of Fear, they probably will.

I hope not, although I guess it doesn't really matter that much. Interesting that within 2 years operation, Terminator lost it's on-board audio and now it's name and theme. All those "but it's a wooden coaster with a Terminator theme" folks should be pleased.

Apocalypse: The ride

 

Easy re-theme.

[**McFly**]

The sierra twist area looks pretty! I would'nt mind having a bench to sit on there

 

LOL! Bench the ride could end up being the big "Year End" addition to the park!

[Tmcdllr]

Went to the park today for about 5 hours and got on 16 rides! We also did some shopping and had some snacks in that time as well. Definitely glad we dressed in winter attire today.

 

Nothing like planting dead trees in the Sierra Twist area. That makes it look like it's been that way for awhile.

 

Or the healthy trees are dropping leaves because it's winter!

 

Planting dead trees?

[Calicoasters]

They should just name is Psyclone.

[John Knotts]

Whatever they do, please drop "The Ride" from the title. Otherwise, I really like Apocalypse.

[atem122]

Word on the street is that they're going for a Chipotle tie in and naming it Chipocalypse.

[daveydo5172]

They also talk about losing the Panda Express restaurants in the park....lets hope they are replaced with other name brands and not some generic Six Slags inspired restaurant....as far as Terminator goes...if they are going to drop the terminator theming, they should just drop all the theming, and come up with something entirely different...

[GLund]

Is the park losing ALL Thomas, Wiggles, Tony Hawk and branded names (Terminator, Panda Express, Johnny Rockets, Papa Johns) in the park except for the WB/DC brand? Is that all they have to hold on to?

 

What the heck is going on here?

 

While they're busy removing all the theming, it'd be nice if they went ahead and removed all the terribly ugly and faded advertisement cardboard cutouts and signs as well. Corn Nuts, hair gel, Snickers, Starburst---enough of that garbage. It looks so tacky!

[Gmaster562]

Left 4 dead! the ride

[cooksta77]

I personally would like the Psyclone rename.

I will be glad if they get rid of the name brand food places and bring in some cool park food like walking tacos, and elephant ears!

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^I really would like to see more diverse food in the park. Something other than just burgers & fries. Before that JR express in front of Deja Vu, That was the only place I was aware you could get a hot dog (not that it was ever open). But More sit-down restaurants would be a welcome enhancement. With a park the size of MM, it has ONE decent sit-down in Mooseburger Lodge. But in a premier sports market such as L.A., one of those game day grills would do well.

I remember when my girlfriend lived in Canyon Country we would search to find a decent place to watch Laker games. If Six Flags could tap into the Lakers and Dodgers (who have cult followings) and help enhance the park by adding more than just coasters, the tide could totally turn.

[GLund]

^Please no. That only means more Dodger or Laker fans than we need at SFMM. Thanks.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^And sports fans' money isn't good? It's not like it's an expirimental idea. The ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney has hour+ waits and minimum spending totals per hour when you do get a table. And this is a bad idea for Magic Mountain...why?

[Jew]

^Because I am sure people are going to be like "Dude! there's a sports bar at SFMM? Now I *HAVE* to get a pass!"

[UberBeavis]

I'm sure it'll take all of an hour to remove all the 'theming' from the Six Flags parks.

[Gigalyte]

I hope all the money they save buy not having to pay license fines is going to the flat ride cookie jar lol maybe if they fill the jar enough with the money they saved they'lll start issuing out deperately need flats for they're parks. Not just extreme flats but flats of all types god knows the parks could use them.

 

Knowing SFI though they saving all this money to build SFMM/or SFGADV a giga coaster lol

[SFMM fanboy]

First the audio & now THIS! WOW!

 

Halo: The Ride!
