    The parking lot is cracked and has potholes. The paths are cracked. I really hope the merger with Cedar Fair lends to this park getting some beautification. Thank Jeebus Golden Bear is gone. What an eyesore!

      I was going to say that they need more vendor booths all over the park with drinks, pretzels, hot dogs, churros, etc! They need to fill up the dead zones with things to eat and do!

    They should have kept the Log Jammer ride. Classic and fun.

    Something to keep in mind that is that Railblazer has trains that are motorbike themed. Family coaster doesn't equate to "epic" so I don't think it's going to be a family coaster. I still hold to the idea that the bird is the color scheme of the trains and that the orange looks like vest restraints. It also looks roadrunner-esque, which would bolster my thoughts about the bird symbolism. I will keep my fingers crossed that the RMC TRex tease was for SFMM.

      I don't think the RMC t rex will ever be a thing, and I do see a pretty cool ride being put there, but I doubt it will be a giga if it is. That will be awesome, but if not, then hopefully they add something good there even if it is not a record breaking ride

    If they go for a giga it will probably be a B&M I think they will get a bulk deal because they have 4 in the park already. Still hopeful for an intiman giga though

    Imagine if they decided to get with Mack rides and had them design a giga coaster with a similar layout as Hyperia at Thorpe Park! That’d be pretty cool and they’d beat out Knot’s with a giga coaster!

    It’s gotta be a dive coaster!
    Think about it the land they are marking is too small for a giga, and to big for a flat ride. MM already had almost all types of coaster. They don’t have a dive coaster. Dive coasters are fairly compact because of steep drops and lifts. The motorbike idea doesn’t make sense to me because west coast racers is literally that type of coaster. DIVE COASTER is my guess

    MM doesn't have attendance figures that allow for the kind of improvements it really needs---come on, SF/CF, the parking lot should have been repaved. However, SF Fiesta park in Texas has an even lower annual attendance figure, yet, unlike SFMM, it doesn't give off the vibes of a failing business. But when Fiesta was first built, its original owner was more demanding, so SF has been able to rely on that.
    Dylan said that because of spring break, MM is busier than usual. But the walkways aren't too packed. So SFMM is facing a Catch-22. To fix it up, millions of $$ need to be spent. But to do that more easily requires more paying customers per year. However, too many visitors aren't impressed with MM, so they don't bother to drop by. So the vicious cycle goes on.

    • @Johnnyiswhere

    I've been watching the change at Six Flags Magic Mountain also. There are about 6 or 8 surveyor markers that can be seen while standing in line at Full Throttle. This would possibly indicate that the project will extend over that way from the Golden Bear Theater. The cement seats may be there a while because of erosion - it would be a exposed hill, with nothing to hold it back during the "project" . Also, the extensive solar project is to be able to run the Park 100%. Which has to take in account any new attractions being thought about.

    I think it’s going to be a massive rollercoaster. You missed scrambler by crazanity too. They are tearing it down. Next time you go, go to scrambler and look. You’ll see bulldozers inside and a sign out front that says we are working on a new rider experience so something is about tone built right there too

    Thanks for these updates it is so fun to have the anticipation of "what will the new ride be???" ... and just to think there are people that work for Magic Mtn and whatever company is going to build it that already know exactly what it is. There's already blueprint plans that we as the general public would give anything to see right now haha. Soon enough like you said it will really start ramping up :)

    I think it would be cool if Six Flags rethemed Scream one of these days into the movie franchise I think that would be pretty cool and maybe they could match it with an entirely new land and entrance at that side of the park because lets face it i think mm needs a new entrance Cedar points newer one is 10 years old I mean I think its time.

    Six Flags still cutting corners instead of doing it the right way. Adding solar panels on top of pavement that needs a major overhaul, is just lazy and cheap.

    @JerWHolley 6 місяців тому +1

    Those solar panels may not offer the best shade, lived in Vegas for years with solar covered parking and it actually brought in more heat, birds would fry on it. Also at a certain point in the day that reflection is gonna be crazy.
