Frade Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hello everybody Yesterday, June 16th I went with my dad to Six Flags Magic Mountain. We had a really good time, but it was really hot out there. We woke up and went to have breakfast to IHOP, then headed to the park. We arrived 20 minutes before it opens. It is so crazy how they make you pay 15 buck to park and they give you the big SFMM poster, come on, Disney is 9 and I think Universal is 11, I am talking about Orlando because those are the ones I got every weekend when I am at college. We got in, and went to buy Flash Pass, because there were a lot of people and TATSU´s line was already 1:30. We rode it, and I liked it, but my dad didn’t lol. Then we went to Superman, it was so empty that we were the only riders, it was really cool, cause we went almost all the way up, them we rode Ninja in the front, then Gold Rusher, then Riddlers Revenge, then we tried Batman, but the line was 1:45 and Flash Pass was not working that day, then we rode Colossus, Scream, Goliath, the Log Flume, Revolution, TATSU again ( just me this time ), this time I loved it, but that pretzel it is just too intense lol,, and Viper. My dad loved all the other coasters, he liked the most Goliath, we had a really go day and it was a Father-Son trip, we had fun over all. Here are some pictures of the park, enjoy. Later Bye, bye, SFMM, we had a good time Goliath ´s first drop from parking lot Xtreme torture, lol Viper loops Viper, our last coaster of the day Riders get ready for pain, lol x, lol good luck riders TATSU from main gate SFMM entrance, we are leaving the park TATSU & Me If you can see, thump up for TATSU!

vjgx Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Looks like you had a great time... Unfortunately, rumor has it that Tatsu's gotten softer wheels to lessen the g-force, etc. during the ride, especially on the pretzel loop... I heard that a few weeks after it opened. Luckily, I got to ride it on opening day, so I know what to compare to next time I'm there... I'm gonna see if the rumor's true. But yeah, the g-force on the pretzel loop is pure insanity... and to make it more insane, it was only my 4th big coaster ever. But still, I loved it... Edit: Oh, and is X REALLY that rough?! I keep hearing mixed reviews about it... my friends say it's really smooth, but everyone here says that it hurts... I plan on riding it in a couple of months.

Freefallbestrideever Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 So basically what you're saying is you didn't ride X?............ cool tr lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 No ride on X? Smart man! It looks like SFMM wasn't that crowded, and that always makes for a nice visit. But I bet it was hotter than...you know where! I really enjoyed your report, Carlos. One of these days, I hope to finally meet you. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frade Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hey Matthew, thanks for your message, well I hope they changed the wheels, I felt more force than Mission Space, lol Well about X, yeah, just ask Robb, how he hurt himself with his hand because vibration. I have been on the coaster 8 times, I had many good experienes but it is an Arrow, so for me it is done, lol Eric, yeah the park was alomost empty, the only lines were on Tatsu and Batman the other rides were a walk throug, but yeah it was realy hot, but the log ride made it for me, lol.

tinflowers Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thats a nice viewing platform to check out the pretzel loop on Tatsu. Looks like it gives some cool views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinMan06 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 well it doesn't sound like you planned your trip very well;). But why would anybody want less G-forces on the Pretzal loop? That would make it way less intense. Sounds like you had a good day. And for anybody ever going to SFMM, be there AT 9! then, you can slightly jog tawords tatsu, and walk on. That;s what I always do. -TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frade Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 TD, actually we had planned it, but we had just 5 hours in the park before we had to go to the airport we arrived at the park 20 min before opening. But I had to buy my dad´s ticket, and also we bought the Flash Pass, so that is why I did not made any line on the coasters. Right now, I am in Monterrey and hope to visit more theme parks, I know there is Plaza Sesamo and Bosque Mágico. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
