Six Flags Magic Mountain 09.07.07

[jd27]

Im just back in the UK after a trip in California and went to Six Flags Magic Mountain while there.

Had an excellent day, it was a Friday and school had started up so the park was pretty much empty - all rides either walk on, or at least stright into the station (apart from X which had an hour queue in the station!!)

Ive been a couple of times before, but when it was busy, so only managed a few rides.

This time I managed an excellent ride count.

X x1 - it seems really rough now towards the end of the ride. 1st half was excellent, but by the end I was glad it stopped!

Viper x3

Tatsu x 2 - I was really impressed, its really fast throughout, and you really get the 'flying' feeling as it's so high for most of the ride, and you cant really see the track from your position, so cant tell whats coming up. And the pretzel loop is insane!!

DejaVu x1

Riddlers Revenge x1

Batman x1

Superman x2 - Station was empty so just got straight back on. I wasnt as impressed with Superman this time as before, I think probably as I have been on Dragster, the height / speed thing didnt have the same effect anymore.

Goldrusher x1

Scream! x2

Goliath x1 - Still scares me for some reason, after riding it a few times, and the helix at the end is really intense.

Was an excellent day, I was impressed with the park and staff, they seem to have been getting slated recently, I didnt see anything to moan about at all.

 

Also went to Vegas, Speed at Sahara was really cool. Manhattan Express (or Roller Coaster as it seems to be called now) at NYNY was okay, but seriously painful, I wouldnt rush back onto it....especially at $14.00 a go. Made a detour to Buffalo Bill's Casino near Vegas to ride Desperado, to find it was shut on Tuesday's and Wednesdays. Very annoying!!
