Midgetman82 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Hello, I'm Midgetman82. Recently (or two weeks ago), I visited Six Flags Magic Mountain. Enough to be said because I'm pretty sure you would want to go straight to the pictures, either read this or just scroll down now. Anyways, SFMM that day was extremely crowded because it was a nice Saturday. All of the effects on coasters were working, Most roller coasters were open, but Ninja was closed . When I say crowded, I mean every single line had at least a one hour wait; and because of all the waiting AND the fact that I had to get out of LA early to be able to leave at all, my coaster count came up short: X2-1, Tatsu-1, Superman: The Escape-1, Terminator: Salvation-1, and Revolution-1. My dad literally timed with his watch to see how long it would take for us to get to the rides: (hours) X2-1½, Tatsu-2, Superman-1, Terminator-2, Revolution-½. I don't like that fact, but the coasters were awesome. This was my first time riding X2, Tatsu, and Terminator and they all ruled the park, Though X2 is the most epic. The day may have been crowded, but I had fun ! Here is a video for your enjoyment: [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Six_Flags_Magic_Mountain_k4kw[/coastertube] And now , here are those pictures : Waking up at the nearby Embassy Suites for... (Insert Trumpet Fanfare here) SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN!!! Epic Monstrosity! Flying Orange Dragon?! Took a few pictures of the waterpark. Great overview! Super crowded crowds! Hello! I'm the one who's taking the photo before this one^! Still a lot of people! I could give a caption, but I'll leave that to you. The cool, shaded line for X2. Did you know... Nearby Viper Action! Uh Oh... AAAAHHHHHH!!! Hi! Hello! In the line for X2, they were showing videos of kids from Break.com hurting themselves. Epic Sign! Epic track directions! Epic Inversion! Epic Food! (Enough said of "EPIC" proportions!) My food! Aww, come on! A two hour wait for Tatsu! Did you know... Cool Lift hill! Almost epic photo! The Station "Assume the position..." "Did you go to the bathroom?" FEET! "Look mom, I'm flyin'!" Next up, 100 miles per hour! I'm not crying, I was laughing... you believe me don't you?! "I am powerful, bow down to me... hello?" Got bored and started to listen to music, also that is my camcorder I record from. *gasp*, exposed! "Gues who?!" "Not Superman, thats who." Coming off the ride! Definitely not worth the 1 hour wait, nor any wait longer than 40 minutes (sorry Six Flags). Ooh, I rode my first SkyCoaster in SFKK. I've never been on Deja-vu but my brother tells me its awesome! OMG, A NO0B! (*growls like a chihuahua*) The best and newest wooden coaster I have ever been on, my family thought it was going to be rough... we were all wrong and loved it! OOOH, I almost forgot. I saw a picture of this here on Theme Park Review website and thought I would have seen this, I was right and here it is in Superman: The Escape. Whoever took that other picture, well the glass is still broken. My dad noticed this on Terminator Salvation and thought it should be pushed back in, I though if they did that it might crack, or worse. You debate. The queuing had pretty good theming, it would have made a little more sense if it was indoors, but that is just wrong; besides, this is my favorite wooden roller coaster so far! Uh-Oh, whats in there? Note: my dad innocently took pictures inside, but I won't post them. If you have never been on this roller coaster, GO ON IT!!! "We apologize for the delay, but we are experiencing technical difficulties." SON OF A ***********! weeee! It was fun! "Ey-Yo, we just got off Revolution boy." p.s. thats what they say now... "ey-yo"! Cool picture! Well, this is goodbye peeps! Gertrude and Beth are still here I see! Sunset picture! Thank you for viewing this Trip Report, but before I go I present to you: A Random Panorama!

smells_like_team_disney Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Awesome pictures! Shots of Viper from X2's queue never get old for me (even though this view has been around for almost 10 years now! ). It definitely remains one of the more graceful looking Arrow multi-loopers, imho.
ILoveRides Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Awesome trip report! It was hilarious seeing Gertrude and Beth!
alexinla Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Great pictures, to bad it was such a busy day. Guess that means you have to come back to Magic Mountain asap
Midgetman82 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Awesome trip report! It was hilarious seeing Gertrude and Beth! Believe me, they were literally all over the park, they were so close to other people that a kid almost caught one of them. Great pictures, to bad it was such a busy day. Guess that means you have to come back to Magic Mountain asap My family likes to travel, but I'm the only coaster enthusiast . -Marcus Edited April 26, 2010 by Midgetman82
XII Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Nice Photo TR. Like others have said, it's a shame it was so crowded and that you missed out on a lot. But I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to SFMM.
