fatdaddy Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Okay from the better late than never report category...yeah, should have had this up sooner, but life's a bitch and then you get new bumper cars...or something. Anyway, in the shadow of Superman in the area where the old Metro station and Crazy Barrels were once situated, Six Flags Magic Mountain will be erecting the new pendulum ride Crazanity! The biggest erection of it's kind, Crazanity itself will be 172 feet tall, but when installed on it's base will reach near 180 feet tall. It will include a killer lighting package, and should be visible from the other side of the park. Okay, even better news, the entire area will be getting a face-lift! Starting with the midway games area, there will be new brighter pastel paint and boardwalk theming, Johnny Rockets gets updated with paint, new seating, and new signs. Bumper cars will get a complete overhaul, including new queue, paint, lights and yes...NEW CARS!!! If you're a total nerd and want to know about the troll sign, it has been removed, but it may indeed turn up somewhere in the future. The scrambler will also get an overhaul with paint and a much needed shade cover. The nearby restroom will be renovated, including new trough sinks and air dryers. Last, but not least, Tidal Wave will in the least get some new paint. We also got an introduction to new park president Neal Thurman! Neal was the Director of Park Operations at Six Flags Magic Mountain many years ago, before having a position of Park President at both Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Six Flags Great Adventure. With Neal back at Six Flags Magic Mountain I'm sure we can expect big improvements to the park! Okay, that's all I have, sorry for the delay, leave a comment, and pictures... Can you picture it? Cause, there's a picture of it! Dirt, everyone loves dirt! Open hole is my favorite! In this episode of Handy Manny... Footers make people happy! Put a helmet on it! We only need these stairs! Embrace the emptiness! EMBRACE IT!!! "I am the ghost of souvenir cups past!!!" Someone broke this stuff. Yay, make the scrambler pretty! Don't worry, I got this! Can't remember what this is, ENIAC maybe? Bathroom upgrade...for me to poop on! The man of the hour, many, many Six Flags days ahead for new park president Neal Thurman! I actually ate salad! Don't worry, you'll get some love too. Edited March 12, 2018 by fatdaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 True story: the bumper cars were so poorly taken care of at one point in 2002 that the wood supporting the floor rotted away and collapsed. Glad they get some love now. The troll sign should live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well that's a lot of dirt being moved! It'll be nice to see what the finished product looks like when these various projects are completed later this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpsphil Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Looks like magic mountain is aiming for another June/July opening unless we actually see some foundation work soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I guess its safe to say now that the Metro isn't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
