Six Flags Magic Mountain PTR 2/27/09-3/1/09

[bobbinbop20]

Heres a PTR from a trip I took to SFMM back in Feb/March of 2009, enjoy!

So anyway saying the least, Magic Mountain is my favorite theme park and X2 is my favorite rollercoaster, seriously that thing is INSANE!! my second favorite was Scream, and third was none other then Tatsu. The park was very clean, everyone was friendly and the ops were fast, thats all i ask for.

Canyon Blaster-25+ (yeah it was awesome)

The only problem I had with this place was unstead of scanning everyones tickets before they opened they made us all stand there until they opened and then the began scanning tickets.

we were 3rd train of the day, and of course we had to ride in the front of the train which made it that much better.

The end

[Austin]

Nice one. Now i got alot of parks to add this week lol

[bobbinbop20]

haha, sorry!

[Austin]

Its ok we need these parks lol. We are already doing a better index then TPR but we just need parks lol.

[bobbinbop20]

haha, i have some more I'll upload later.

I have Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and Six Flags Mexico and I think Mall of America, or did I already do that one?

[nitrofan]

I also love Scream, and also ranked the top 3 coasters in the same order you did.

I rode Scream 17 times without getting out of my seat! We had an awesome op who let us ride until 10:20 when the supervisor finally got there (the park closed at 10).

Scream needs a paint job so badly! It should have been ahead of Batman and Goliath.

A fellow Scream lover, you sir are awesome!
Yep, Scream is great for re rides, I rode it 25 times in a row on the second day we were there. That's pretty sweet how the Op let you ride past closing!

I also agree that it REALLY needs a paint job! With the rate that SF has been painting everything, I'm sure it wont be long! :)

[Austin]

Well then dont worry at this pace pretty much every coaster that hasnt recieved a fresh coat will be getting one, i mean look at shockwave at SFOT lol.

[bobbinbop20]

Shockwave is in dire need of a fresh coat

[Austin]

It and titan are getting a new coat so the park can reopen in less then a month lol.

[bobbinbop20]

I'm pretty sure Titan already got its new coat of paint, when I was there it definitely had a new coat, compared to one year earlier. Screamscape is behind. Compare these two pictures both taken by me at SFOT a year apart

[nitrofan]

It's weird how faded Tatsu is after inly 3 years...

[Changsucks]

It's almost been four, but I kind of agree. The ride is in an odd situation. SF is working on re-painting needed rides before 2011, and Tatsu isn't really bad enough that it needs to be re-painted before next year, but it will be in a couple years. Hopefully it doesn't end up like...I don't know...Kumba.

[bobbinbop20]

If anything needs to be painted it's Scream!

[nitrofan]

If anything needs to be painted it's Scream!

I think the paint on the parking lines under Scream are in better condition that the paint on the actual ride.

[bobbinbop20]

I would have to agree with you on that one haha

[Changsucks]

Yeah. Scream is just sad (not sad as in sad but sad as in sad. You know what I mean.)

[Austin]

Apparently its either B&M's have trouble keeping paint or Six Flags is just cheap and gets cheap paint. When Chang got its blue/yellow treatment it looked so great but 2 years later and it was already fading. Another paint issue Chang had was its first all yellow painting. It started chipping the year it was built leading to the purple/yellow paint job.

[CSM0fficial]

Scream is awesome! keep it not busy....so I can always ride it (;
