arrowfanman Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 And now onto the final SFMM trip report I had planned for you guys… Hello ladies and gentlemen! Yup, this is the third SFMM TR in like a week! Still, I hope you like it. Well, what are we waiting for, lets start the TR! Eeek! We’re late! My 4-year-old niece had a bit of a throwing-up spell last night, so we were all super tired. To ensure we got a bit more rest, we decided to go to the park a bit later, after opening. My company for today. In the back is Alexa, my niece and in the middle is my sister, Javaneh. Alexa was shipped in from Oregon, so we thought we’d take her to SFMM. Ok, we arrived at the park. Holy shit it’s hard to get passed those stupid people that try to take your picture as you enter. They are getting more and more ferocious, each time I see them! They must be paid by the photo. We entered the park and headed for Log Jammer, a log flume. Weeeeeee! The ride was fun, with the exception that we had to worry about stepping in the 1 inch of water in our boat! 1 inch o’ water You know something is wrong when you get splashed by the water in your boat! Ok…onward. Next up was Goliath… Alexa used to live down here, in Santa Clarita, and has been to SFMM. However, she never ever has been on Goliath. Today was the first time we were able to convince her to get on it! I was excited! As a coaster enthusiast, you always love to see the next generation learn to like roller coasters! She said she wasn’t nervous but you can tell…I mean, look at how she’s holding the restraint! By the metal bar! Well, there’s no better way to top off a nice ride on Goliath, than with a ride on Buccaneer, the swinging ship. I don’t know why they’re so excited…I mean, swinging ships provide a special kind of airtime…you know…the kind that only affects guys, if you know what I mean. If your gonna do Goliath, you have to do Colossus. Colossus was one of the longer waits of our day. One of the downsides of going during the off-season…sure, its empty, but the coasters only operate a one-train operation! Grrrr! This shot’s kinda cool. You get all of Colossus’s layout AND Goliath’s. …and if your gonna do Colossus, you have to do Scream! Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Parking: -Cars: $10 -Motorcycles: $8 -RV’s and Busses: $17 -B&M’s: $16,000,000 .…gotta love that! After Scream, Alexa said she was starting to feel hungry, but Colossus Cookery was closed. I reluctantly decided to go for the Waterfront eating area. On the way, we decided to ride Goldrusher first. After all…it isn’t an Arrowfanman update without an Arrow! Gum isn’t as bad as it could be. …but then again, it’s the offseason. Yaaaaaaay! Alexa doesn’t seem entirely impressed. What a shame…I love Goldrusher! With the exception of some stupid teenagers who thought they were funny to scream like they were really afraid, Goldrusher was a really fun ride. You know, when you are riding a family ride, and there is nobody else on the train but children, who are you trying to impress when you scream like that? Whatever…builds self esteem/shoves them farther up their own asses. Anyway, we finally got our food at the waterfront. It was soooo horrible! SFMM has really been improving their food, but this was just, just….horrible! I cant believe we spent 25 bucks for the 3 of us! I didn’t even finish it! The food was sooo tasteless, and when you finally tasted something, it wasn’t good! Either the food is sour, or she is sick of me taking pictures of her! For my sake, I’ll go with the first option! Anyway, after eating that junk, it was time to work it off, so we marched off, up the hill. The girls thought we were going to ride Ninja. Little did they know, I only went up to take Tatsu construction pictures! Buuuut, I finally said ok, and we went to ride Ninja…Waited 4 trainloads with a one-train-operation, just so we could get Alexa the front seat on her favorite ride. Yup…that’s one mighty-fine lift hill. Weeeeeee! Oh, do you see Jetstream in that pic? They finally removed the sign that said “Do not load boats passed this point”. Perhaps they got sick of guests asking why they are not following their own instructions. Speaking of Jetstream, that’s what we rode next… Our boat was much better (drier) than the Log Jammer boat…ironically, I got more wet on this ride! After Jetstream, we decided to start heading out…we did everything that Alexa would enjoy, or that was worth it. However, we did convince Alexa to ride Batman… That button is AWFULLY close to where I am standing. There’s something about a juicy red button that just makes you want to push it! Lift shot! Drop shot! This is almost a cool picture! After Batman, we decided to ride the Atom Smasher…our reason?: It was working. Good fun riding Mr. A. Tom Smasher. There was no line, so she let everybody ride again, so as they wanted too. I knew how to unlock myself, but my sister didn’t, and before you know it, they were stuck riding it again! Oh yea…we ran into TJ’s sister…yup… I am gonna get killed for putting this up. She’s the one in the hat. Ok…NOW we were ready to leave…. ….but only after another ride on Goliath, as Alexa finally decided that she liked it! This is the line, for the second most popular ride in the park, during winter break, at 3:30 PM! I think Goliath is now Alexa’s favorite roller coaster. Now we were ready to leave!. . . . ….but only after a ride on Sierra Twist! Why? … …for the same reason we rode Atom Smasher…lol. I gotta fart! Uh oh…that was more than a fart! Nothing like good bathroom humor! Ok…NOW we are done, for good! I hope you enjoyed my photo TR! I had some really good responses to the last two, so I think this is a nice conclusion to the SFMM TRs. But, I am bound to go to other parks in the next 3 months, so I will be sure to post other TRs as I make them. Thanks for readin, -Jahan (aka, Hypotenuse)

Rollerholden Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 You're so lucky go to to SFMM so often, and with such a short line for Goliath! I personally love that ride.
