infinitethrill Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I woke up at 12, not 9 am as I had expected (I was really tired). I left for SFMM at one, and got there at 2 and parked in the red robin parking lot. While walking in, I took these pictures. Current road work. Looking down the access road. Now that I see it again, Im pretty sure this is where the tunnel will go. MMM, half half... Other half half... One last picture of X waling into the park. By the way, this is what the pavilion looks like... Once in the park, I went straight to Deja (single rider, because I was a single rider...) Pumps still out in the distance. When I got to Deja, I went up the single riders line and there wasn't anyone assigning seats, so I went straight to the back (walk on!) After Deja, I went up the exit of Riddlers (there wasn't any signs saying single rider), but the op still said I could grab the empty seat in the third row... I walked past Colossus which had a 20 minute wait, and headed up to Scream!. It looks like they still haven't replaced the old extinguishers around the park. On the way back to the entrance, I stopped by Flashback. This is new... It looks like this is the hand out spot again. I walked up to see if Tatsu was empty enough to ride, the line was at the bottom of the stairs, so I skipped it. Revolution's station was up to the bridge, so I left the park (I'm going again tomorrow [hopefully]). Here is X again. On the way back, there was something really interesting! You can see the charred hillside from the road. Here is where I was standing (with 1x zoom) And directly behind me - I went up the hillside to where it was blackened. This looks like the closest spot the fire got to Magic Mountain Parkway... One last picture before I drove home... And thats it! Hope you enjoyed it!
haiderodes Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 ^ I can't help but noticing how neatly charred that area looks. Is it possible that those areas were merely "control burned" during the larger fire in order to eat up possible fuel? That and fact that the tree in the one photo looks untouched seems to support that.
almightyfire Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH! yes I said it. hahahahahhaha
infinitethrill Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 ^^, Not sure... It looks like half of this tree was burned...
infinitethrill Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Now that I think of it, why would this tree burn down? Either way, SFMM wasn't in any danger, so its all good...
JÄNNICK Jérémy Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 If we look at the last picture , what will be built in this area , a new extension for the park ?? ( I don't know , I come from France )
arrowfanman Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 I'm not trying to be the "fire expert" that I'm very much not, but the brush wasn't that thick over by Magic Mountain to begin with--just a grass fire, no real built up brush. And the bark on an oak tree is capable of protecting the tree in such weak fires, keeping it alive, hence why they're still standing. Anyway, nice PTR. Almost more of an update of the random goings of the park. -Jahan
Mr.Six Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Are those pictures even of the 'Magic Fire'? I remember that night, or the day after three fires were set at the same time during the middle of the night. One right behind that Cheveron station. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? -mike
infinitethrill Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 ^, The last picture in the PTR that has the car wash in it - that is the Chevron station... In the third to last photo (also in the main PTR), if you were to walk down to the top left of that picture, you would get to the gas station (I didn't go that way, I just walked back to the street). ^^, My PTR's are always updates, and if there is anything that I did with a group, it would be in there... Before I started posting these on TPR, I had regular updates on RCPro that kept everyone up to date with the park... This was my 18'th installment, so all of the secret thing in the park are already known (by people who saw my other PTR's). Ill be there Friday, so expect a more detailed PTR (I will be there longer - and with friends).
haiderodes Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Not related to the fire, but that last picture gives a really good view of just how much land is in front of the park. Never realized just how much the developers have to work with!
Axman Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Do they have a for sale signs in front of Flashback and Freefall yet?
Jew Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 The "new" flashback stuff looks like queue stuff from Fright Fest they haven't thrown back in the warehouse yet...
infinitethrill Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 ^^, Nope... ^, not sure, but its a possibility. The last few times I've been in there, there were chairs and coat hanger racks on the exit ramp. Everything was recently cleaned up, and now the chairs are back...
Mr.Six Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Joey's right. The flashback exit ramp/height check area is used as a breakroom for the scare actors from Jokesters. -mike
infinitethrill Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised if it stays there for a few months...
Axman Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 The removal of Flashback should be MM's Christmas present to the world.
Team Thriller Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I love SFMM updates!!! They always are the best! Great TR
wrs28330 Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised if it stays there for a few months... It will be gone by this tuesday.
infinitethrill Posted November 10, 2007 Author Posted November 10, 2007 It was still there yesterday... AND there was a lock on the gate! I guess this ends my visits to flashback for now... I will post my PTR later (from friday)
AllenA07 Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 ^^Wait will ths stuff for Jokesters be gone or will Flashback be gone?
