    The new coaster is confirmed to be the first Vekoma where they just took the classic Arrow-style track and trains, but hang them upside-down so you have to do a handstand while ride ops buckle you in.

    We were there yesterday, and it definitely was a bummer to have Tatsu and Goldrusher closed unexpectedly. They also were only running one train on X2, Full Throttle and Revolution. Definitely was very strange for a Saturday during the holiday season.
    Talked to a couple leads, and evidently the 2026 coaster is a Vekoma, for whatever that's worth 😂
    Also talked to the crew at Ninja during a brief delay and they were talking about how they don't know what to do with all their employees since so many rides are down in their area. (Tatsu closed, Superman closed, Apocalypse closed, and just the rapids and Ninja open)

    • @coastersandcosplays
      @coastersandcosplays Місяць тому +5

      @a_cowwithlegs yeah combining that with their wording of it being a first in North America is very interesting..... It rules out a family boomerang, a family suspended coaster, and a family launch coaster (Big Bear Mountain)
      The thing that makes the most sense (that our friend brought up in a group chat) is a Vekoma Switchback family coaster like what's about to open at Dreamworld in Australia. Since it's so close to the family/kiddie ride section of the park and there are already so many thrill coasters at the park, that would make a ton of sense. The other options that aren't as likely, but also aren't out of the question would be things like a Thrill Coaster (like Lech Coaster), or a Suspended Thrill Coaster.
      The least likely, but I would love to have it happen, would be a launched flying coaster like F.L.Y. at Phantasialand. But with Tatsu being so close, that definitely doesn't seem very likely

    considering the new superman movie coming out next year, maybe its just getting a fresh repaint before the summer. I dont think its been repainted since they first changed it.. Would be cool if they put the statue back on top too...
    They also have short staffing issues, so if they plan to paint it this winter, It makes sense why its already closed.

    On one of the other channels they were saying that The Laughing Dragon is too dilapidated for refurbishment so it's up for demo, which is too bad. But these things do happen. It would certainly open up a lot of space on the Summit for any number of possibilities. We'll see what comes to pass. It's nice to see the park getting some freshening up. Hopefully Viper is next to get some TLC. I'm also wondering what is going in Scrambler's spot. It would be nice to see an updated version of the ride since that type is iconic to theme parks and carnivals. Again, we'll just wait and see. And i still vote to replace Dive Devil with a BigWaveZ. Perfect spot for one and we need more water rides and flat rides, so this would check both boxes.

    Six Flags Magic Mountain is likely building the new Axis Coaster while simultaneously:
    Transitioning to solar energy for cost and sustainability reasons.
    Repurposing Superman’s power supply to support the new ride.
    Upgrading their infrastructure to handle cutting-edge coaster technology.
    These overlapping projects are complex, but when completed, they’ll position Magic Mountain as a pioneering green park with a world-class ride lineup. If they pull this off, it’ll be worth the wait-and could set a new standard for theme park innovation.

  • @grobble8954

    I Remember when they first got the solar panel structures they didn't have any markings/signs for your to know where you parked. Poor planning to not have the signs from the start. You would see people wandering the parking lot regularly b/c they forgot where they parked and there was no sign to reference.

    • @ThemeParkObsessionDD
      @ThemeParkObsessionDD  Місяць тому

      They would have to run 3 train ops to improve overall. I have seen them do three trains before on that coaster so I’m sure they can do it again. Same with Tatsu.

    The food quality definitely hasn’t improved. We only eat there because I still have the old 2019 dining pass and it’s 50% off once I’ve used my meals and snack for the day 🙁 the past few months the taste and quality have steadily dropped, we used to get burgers because they were pretty decent, now it’s more likely to have dry small sad patties. Chicken coupe used to be delicious then they switched the recipe for the sauce and the same thing the chicken has been dry. I feel so bad for people paying full price for food there, it’s not worth it. After my discount it’s cheaper than McDonald’s but I miss them having more options like sandwiches and salads

The flagships are Cedar Point and Knotts.

The investment is b/c CF management is going to try to the larger SF legacy parks more like CF Legacy parks.
