Well, a couple of my other favorite theme park websites (RideWorld and Theme Park Review) along with Six Flags Magic Mountain threw one hell of an awesome event yesterday.

The park looks better than it has in at least a decade, and the staff was quite friendly- at times I felt like I was in an old training video :)

We ran into the park's new management team several times through out the day, and in one instance, the park's president hopped behind the counter at Johnny Rockets to get the orders out quickly.

These guys really seem to "get it". They've made a ton of changes in only 7 months time, and there are still things to do, but they're on the right path.

I had an absolute blast, and other than one bit of getting sick, I think GC had a great time, too.

I heard about the yammy!!! Sounds like a good time! I can't wait to go back when X2 opens.

I had a great time at Magic Mountain.
I shall post about that tomorrow, too.
Very tired at the moment...
:)

nice... usually management wont be in the park... oh wait their were camera around...

Actually i hear the management for SF and SFMM is brilliant and nice to everyone.. even when not near a recording device.


sounds like a fun event.

I love the "Brad didn't ride the Goliath," caption. It's cracking me up. Lovely pics, thanks!

Oh ho. Brad did indeed ride the Goliath. At the end of the evening.
:)

So here are the coasters we rode:

Tatsu
Superman: The Escape
Riddler's Revenge
Scream
Colossus
Goliath (just Matt)
Gold Rusher
Ninja
Goliath (both of us)

I think that's all of the ones we went on.

Tatsu is amazing. My favorite overall. I also enjoyed Goliath. That one was the most intimidating to me. Huge first drop. But I loved it.

We also got a tour of the X2 facility and got a cool view of Viper.

And to dispel the rumors that are out there... Yes, I did spew burrito chunks. I did so after we did Riddler, Scream and Colossus all in a row. But after I did the rainbow yawn, I was fine. But I didn't want to ride any more loop coasters for the day...
:D

I had a great time thanks to CoasterMatt. It was a fun, fun day.

I want Chicken Katsu for dinner.

lol! :D

I kept thinking that all day... Mmmm Chicken Tatsu...

Also, what is this?

That's the shooting gallery.
