Mrlittle Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I actually like that we only get a few photos of the construction here and there on this coaster. It just adds to the excitement for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Every new photo of this ride just solidifies the need to take a trip down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 ^Agreed. Flights aren't terribly priced, not to mention there's enough to do in Mexico City to warrant a 3-4 day trip. Tempting...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKvillalba Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hello folks! New picture of MSC posted by Six Flags Mexico: I fall in love wih this coaster more and more with every photo! Also, our friends at montanarusa.com posted several park updates yesterday, all photo credit goes to them. Here is Medusa's third drop as seen from the main plaza of Pueblo Mexicano, just after you enter the park. In the back you can see the supports ready for the 3rd and last barrel roll. In this pic you can see that the Pueblo Vaquero, the area of the park where MSC is located, is going through a complete refurbishment (And a random Hawkgirl walking). Aaand, last but not least, SlingShot pieces are still at the parking lot waiting. The park announced it will open in a few weeks. Greetings from Mexico City!

[attachment=0]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393383058.724596.jpg[/attachment] Actually, those look a little pricey. I have been going down to Mexico City every few months ever since the TPR trip, and I usually find myself paying no more than $320 out of LAX. I'm actually going down in a month on AeroMexico for $292. Another trick, if you have the time and resources, is to keep an eye on Volaris and Interjet flights out of Tijuana...sometimes they post fares for as little as $60. I took that route once, and while it is a huge pain in the ass, you save quite a bit of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omiyage Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 My husband is going on a business trip to Mexico City on Friday, and with some free time on my hands I decided to join in the last minute. The fact that I haven't been there before and could add a few credits to my list might have something to do with it... Anyway, could anyone offer any tips on the easiest way of getting to Six Flags Mexico? My Spanish is not good enough to make any sense of the website and I have yet to find an English version (but thank you, Google Translate). It looks like the metro and a Six Flags bus is the fastest option, unless I take a taxi? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivtim Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 ^The easiest way is just to take a taxi. You can arrange an official (safe) taxi from your hotel. A cheaper option is to take the Metro line 3 to the southernmost station, Universidad. You don't need to speak Spanish to take the Metro, everything has pictures and is color coded. There's a large taxi stand right outside the station (next to the buses), and it's about 40 pesos ($3.50) to take a cab to SFM from there. It's only about 7km away and takes maybe 10 minutes depending on traffic. On the way back, you can catch a taxi on the street right outside SFM, and take it to Universidad station to do the trip in reverse. Have fun!

WFChris Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Quick update on the park: - Slingshot is OPEN! MX$250 per rider and MX$200 per season pass holder (US $19.13 / $15.31) - Superman El Ultimo Escape is currently installing on-board loose item bags (like at Disney parks). Superman is a Morgan Hyper Coaster. Have we seen this on any other Six Flags coaster before? Perhaps it's the beginning of a trend? Superman is the large hyper coaster in the background. While the ride already utilizes a cubby system, they now have these on-board bags! Edited April 13, 2014 by WFChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Very cool idea - but I think the zippers are going to last only so long, before they'll need continual replacement. Maybe they should go (future suggestion) with the more elasticated holders, usually fabric, that hold to the back of the seat in front, etc. Journey in Disney Sea uses them, so does Indy in Disneyland. And the new Grizzly Gulch Mine Cars in HKDL, too. And this doesn't go upside down.... right Chris? (memory loss HERE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Have we seen this on any other Six Flags coaster before? Perhaps it's the beginning of a trend? New Texas Giant has the zippers. I want to say maybe Titan as well. I can't remember. I wonder if they will put them on the Medusa trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 And this doesn't go upside down.... right Chris? (memory loss HERE) It doesn't go upside down. I know most of the coasters at Disneyland use velcro, but even then much of it has become quite loose over the years. I do imagine that velcro is easier to replace when it finally does fail, though. Superman needs them to remain secure though, there is a TON of airtime on that ride! Also, I've just been told that the bags are almost completely installed on one train, and only on a couple of seats in the other. We think that they are in the process of doing this at night, as I was there personally 2 weeks ago and saw zero of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I remember USH's Mummy has those on the lap bar. On my first ride, I left my sunglasses; on my second ride, I left my water proof phone bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
