Here is the ride list.
If anyone else has been, please chime in.
Are you there CoasterMatt?
Over.

OMG!!!!!

You gotta ride Superman: Ride of Steel - BEST DAMNED STEEL COASTER IN THE COUNTRY!!

Then you gotta ride Superman: Ride of Steel, AGAIN...

Seriously, backrow of S:RoS is the greatest steel coaster experience, it's like airtime nirvana.

Pandemonium is a fun spinning coaster, and Mind Eraser is appropriately named - it's a Vekoma SLC (Suspended Looping Coaster), with a reputation for being rough on the head and/or testicles.

Don't miss out on some of the smaller stuff, like Houdini's Great Escape (It's a fun "illusion" that's a modern version of an old "Mystery House" attraction)

Not a great park, but not a dump like Six Flags Magic Mountain has become.

Excellent.

One day, we'll do the coaster/ballparks road trip.

Have a great time, GC!

Thanks. We're going there for their version of Gay Days. Should be interesting. Gotta get me a red shirt...

Yes! Have a great time, and a safe trip!

We had fun at Six Flag New England.

Superman: Man of Steel was awesome. Best rollercoaster. It was huge! The drop was amazing. Loved it.

The rest of the park was... meh. Like CM said, it's not a dump but it's also not much of anything else. We did ride a carousel built in 1909 and some of the horses had real horse hair tails...

Batman was 101 as was Houdini.

We did see a cheesy magic show, though...

Psyclone was an awesome wood rollercoaster. And the classic Thunderbolt was a sad, sad ride that needs some TLC badly.

They had the lamest parade ever. One float, one trolley car and one hearse promoting their version of Halloween Haunt. That's it. Bugs Bunny sat in a chair with foam carrots glued to the legs. The paint was coming off his carrots... The cast members carrying the banner happily announcing the parade were sneering because the sun was in their faces. It was really funny.

The Gay Day element was nice. Lots of red shirts. Some you wanted to tear off, some you didn't.

Once again, Ralphie said he appreciated Disneyland. Me too. Nothing will make you miss DL than going to a bleh park days afterwards.

Again, Superman rocked. If you ever go to this park, ride it. We would have rode it twice but the wait went from 5 minutes to almost 2 hours in no time...

One thing I forgot to mention... avoid Nightwing at all costs.
I rode it, got very dizzy and very ill.
Spinny rides suck.
Bleh.

That's how I felt the first time I went to Magic Mountain about 10 years ago.
