Mr.Six Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Link to the Photos! http://www.freewebs.com/socalcoaster/sfmmjune212005.htm use the menu at the top right to go to the other picture pages! I decided not to go solo today, so I brought my mom. She has not been to Six Flags Magic Mountain since 2003. After a nightmare on the 405 we arrive at Six Flags Magic Mountain at 9:30! We parked for free and she got in for free! (Thanks to the little blue bible) Gates open at 10:00 AM We; like everyone else. Ran to X first thing! Usually X is still testing and they wont let anyone across the bridge. But today was an exception. We waited for about 30 min for the last row! X- 9/10. By far the best coaster at the park and my favorite coaster anywhere! After that we hiked up to Samurai Summit to take some pictures of the construction markers. I also wanted to get her on Superman:The Escape. I noticed something that made me scream for joy! (well not really) But on one of the markers it says "Q-BLDG"...now does that by any chance mean...Queue Building! And usually flat rides don't have any buildings for the queue! So if it does mean Queue Building then that probably means its going to be a coaster! Walking over to Superman I noticed that the laughing dragon pizza co. was closed. Looks like it didn't last too long after being open on the day of Robb's BBQ. Superman:The Escape -ERT? As usual we approuch Superman with a Ride op telling us its not open yet. But you may wait in the queue if you wish. Well we walked into the Fortress of Solitude to find not a single person there! It wasn't more than 30 seconds when the doors opened and we climbed in! Superman was launching really well today, a few times it even hit the brakes! My mom was excited to finnaly go on Superman! When we arrivedback at the station after being launch she yelled out "AGAIN!"...so the ride op took her serious! And without any lapbar re-checking or anything, she launched us again! (Points for Magic Mountain!) Superman: The Escape 12/10 It became very hot so we went down to the Movie District to get some drinks. As she paid for them I got some shots of the new Batman Begins Stunt show! It was cool to see the helicopter testing! We decided that we better get going to Goliath. (Her favorite) Goliath's queue was nice. It had all of its sprinkler working...too bad there was no line so we couldn't enjoy them longer ...actually there not being a line is better. Goliath was running two trains and it was dispatching times were great! Goliath 8/10 At this point we were getting hungry and it was almost noon. So we headed over to Mooseburger. Mooseburger -Crappy Waitress -Very Crappy Waitress +Saved 20% using the Little blue bible +Great Buffett -Annoying "Over the Rainbow" looping song. Mooseburger Lodge: 6/10 We took some shots of Flashback...as always all 3 trains remain in the station,brake zone, and under the station. Flashback: 0/10 < Hey better than if it was open! We went back towards Deja vu and Psyclone. I was amazed that Deja vu was actually working...so I had to get a picture of me in shock. Right after the picture was taken we heard this really nasty sound coming from Deja vu. As I looked back I could see that the train rolled back from the 2nd spike and went about 1/3 of the way up the loop backwards. Then, I heard those E-stop brakes! Psyclone had no line but we didn't ride it. Deja vu's line was marked at 1:45. It was out the door. We walked over to the Scream and Colossus area. Colossus had been closed earlier that day. I was a little suprised to see it open seeing as all the trains were off the track earlier. (The left side was operating) Scream 8/10 +Great Ride! -Whats with that vibrations! I went on Scream as my mom sat on the grassy area near it. Scream was a walk on! I walk off and my mom looked shocked that I got off so fast. She said that she just got comfortable. So I said something like "Oh, I'm sorry...were you about to medetate"? So, then at around 1:40 we left the park. It was getting hot and we hit all the big rides that didn't have long lines. We live in Long Beach and it usually takes a little under 1 hour to get to Magic Mountain...sometimes a little more..sometimes a little less. This time it took 2 hours! Well, thats the day! Six Flags Magic Mountain: +Gates opened on-time! +All rides running max trains. (Except Scream -2 trains) +Two rides on Superman in a row! +Superman launching very high! -Crappy Mooseburger waitress. +Funny old man ride operator on Scream! +Friendly employees all around today! _____ Final Grade 8.5/10 B+ Michael" Listening to K-F-I AM 6:40 didn't help either!"Thomas
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Nice TR Michael. Yeah, that certainly means Queue building where I come from. Sad they had to take out the last nice place in the park to put it in though. Hope it's something good ... but it will probably be crap.
Crazy4Coasters! Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Yeah I went last Tuesday and they had Superman The Escape going twice for each train! IT WAS A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE!!! I wonder how long that treat will last??? 8)
arrowfanman Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 You just burst his bubble! And I shall do the same...The girl that sat next to me in my Physics class opped Superman, and she let me ride it 5 times in a row!
Coasterlicious Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 .. Thats awesome.... When I was at CP I got to ride Wicked Twister 3 times in a row, because ...surprise surpise, no line..... I actually love that ride, I dont get why its just not popular... then again its because everybody is at Dragster.. in the 4 1/2 hour wait.. yes.. it was terrible... I didnt get in line, and then the thing broke as usual... What are the reasons for only running one train?. MF only had one going, and when i was at sfdl ROS only had one going.. and that made the lines long..
