To follow my previous post, can someone tell me flash pass prices? I couldn't seem to find them online.

Just out of curiosity, are we getting ahead of ourselves on the park index? From the 'Park Guide' section:

In 2011 SFMM regained the title including the addition of America's first Intamin Zac Spin, The Green Lantern. A recent refurb also has turned Superman The Escape into Superman: Krypton Coaster providing the option of being launched forwards or backwards.

 

Not only that, but I'm sure Fiesta Texas would be surprised to learn that SFMM stole their floorless and can run it forwards or backwards depending on riders' preference.

How much is a gold pass? I am going May 5th. It's my first time and I am driving from Vegas

 

Price depends on how many people you bring with you. But it's around $60 per person.

 

May 5th is a school day, so it is possible you will not need a flash pass, but there are no guarantees.

[gforce532]

For May 5th, don't waste your money on a Flashpass. Weekdays in May are usually dead empty unless schools have field trips to the park, which usually happen more toward the end of the month. The main reason the park is only open till 6 PM is because park management doesn't think there will be alot of people in the park. Though crowd levels are very hard to predict, I would expect the majority (if not all) of the rides to be walkons for May 5th.

Anyone know quickly the flash passes sell out at the park? (not online)

I'm wondering if were going to see a delay till summer of 2012 for Green Lantern to actually open....like with RRE(0bviously, hopefully not relocating it) but for whatever reason RRE had to wait, perhaps Green Lantern is meeting a same dilemma.

[SharkTums]

Movie doesn't open till June 17, so they probably figure they have a 'backup date' in case it doesn't get done for Memorial Day.

 

Speaking of Green Lantern I saw a trailer for the movie today (hadn't seen one before or paid attention) and it actually almost looked good. I demand Ryan Reynolds at the opening of the ride!

^ Wouldn't you rather ride with this guy?

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^I'm sure tons of ladies would rather ride that guy...

Just got home after my first day with a gold pass. It was amazing. I am spoiled now. I will never accept waiting 2 hours for a ride anymore. Next goal is a VIP pass at Cedar Point.

 

Anyone here ever get a VIP pass at Magic Mountain?

 

I still have 4 VIP passes (State Farm VIP for a day sweepstakes.) to use at SFMM, or SFDK ( <---Yeah right LOL). I dont plan on using them until after all the coasters are open this year. So july or august. So farm im taking me, my dad (ride to socal) my friend and possibly/hopefully my older brother. All i know is that front of the line passes all day seem like a good deal. Then again for 249.99 a pop it's pretty expensive. Each ticket amounts to a season pass for 5 years.

 

So far if I was coming to vist SFMM from Europe I would totally buy a VIP pass hands down. Of course if I was going to do that I would do a visit around West Coast Bash. Robb and Six Flags seemingly know how to have a really good time.

^^^Still better looking (and smelling) than most ACErs!

Has anyone noticed that X2's audio hasn't been working.

[ZeroG001]

I'm planning on visiting the park sometime during the week of June 13th-June 17th (regardless of whether Green Lantern opens or not), but I'm not really sure which of those days would be best. I can choose any day from Monday through Friday and the park looks to have the same operating hours each day, so what do you guys think? How will the crowds be that week and would the middle of the week be less crowded than the beginning or end? I haven't been to the park since last May so I am really looking forward to getting back!

Other than Metallica on the lift hill, it sucked anyway.

Just rode it the other day and it worked fine for me...

[Sir Clinksalot]

X2's audio worked for us 2 weeks ago ... can you actually hear it other than the lift hill and the end anyway?

Those 5 days shouldn't be too bad. The only concern will be if there will be school field trips those days, which are imposible to predict. And crowd levels will be more of a matter of hitting the right rides at the right time, than the entire park being just crowded or empty. But the friday will most likely be the most crowded of the five days.

Huh. I rode it a couple of days ago and it wasn't working.

[atem122]

^Sometimes X2, usually only one train, has audio off days. You must've caught it on one.

[SFMM fanboy]

^Oh. Well that sucks.

[DJeXeL]

I also heard the Apocalypse audio hasn't been working lately either......

Magic Mountain VIP passes are now $300, so which is even better for you. Cedar Point VIP passes are $350 and do not include food or drinks.

On Magic Mountains FACEBOOK page, they posted current pics of Green Lantern...they definitely are working on it, looks to me like they have a very good start on the station already up and going. So progress is being made.
