Magic Mountain Plan

[DJHYPERS]

Hi Guys,

 

I need some help. I need a strategy for Six Flags Magic Mountain on Sunday 27th March.

 

First a few questions if that is ok?

 

How busy realistically will it be? Queue times etc

Does anybody know what rides if any have single rider at the moment?

How about lockers? How much do they cost? We have one back pack we normally bring with us.

 

I know the usual tricks of getting their opening and running around doing rides as quickly as possible, the obvious is to go ahead and do X2 first. But where do we go from there? we are not going to buying flash passes we just haven’t got the budget unfortunately. If it helps matters I am not entirely fussed about Tatsu, I have done Manta at Seaworld and it kinda hurt a little... don’t think I would wait more than 20mins for that one.

 

Many thanks

A couple of tips I can throw out:

 

-Realistically, you will probably experience around 30 minutes to a 1 hour wait for X2 and Superman (Superman might even be higher, ride will only have been open for a week). Rides like Goliath, Batman, Riddler's, Apocalypse, Deja Vu, and Tatsu will probably fluctuate between 15 minutes and 35 minutes. Viper, Scream,Colossus, Revolution, Gold Rusher, and Ninja can be near walk ons to between 5 and 10 minutes if hit at the right time.

-Single rider lines are available on Riddler's Revenge, Viper, and Goliath.

-The fluffy bunnies cost $1. If you are too lazy to get out your wallet like me, hit a couple rides using one locker. You can keep stuff in your locker for up to two hours. Remember to strategically place your backpack in rides near the middle of areas. Viper, Tatsu, Apocalypse, and Batman are good rides to leave stuff at.

-The best way to ride as much as possible is get there before it opens. Instead of going to X2, head over to Goliath, Colossus, Scream, Batman (in that order). You'll get those done fast when people are clogging up the other side of the park (X2, Viper, Revolution, and Tatsu). You'll probably start hitting crowds at Riddler's (use single riders line).

 

Hope that's helpful!
