Six Flags Magic Mountain Photos

By -
Our first park on the California Trip was Six Flags Magic Mountain, home to 19 roller coasters! In this post, I will be sharing photos and my thoughts on the attractions of the Thrill Capital of The World!

Viper
Viper is the parks Arrow Dynamics looping coaster. This coaster features seven inversions, including Vertical Loops, Corkscrews, and a Batwing. This coaster does have a reputation for being rough, yet my experience was the absolute opposite, and was completely smooth! I really enjoyed Viper!



------
X2
X2 is one of the parks Fourth Dimension coasters, alongside the Standing But Not Operating Green Lantern. I was extremely excited to ride X2, as it was not open during my last visit to the park. This ride led up to my expectations, and is the most insane coaster I have ever ridden! By far my favorite coaster in the park!


-----
Tatsu
Tatsu is the parks B&M Flying coaster, and it's located right above the main entrance fountain. This is my favorite flying coaster, as there is never a dull moment. The pretzel loop is one of the most intense elements ever, and is the best part of this coaster.

-----
Ninja
Ninja is an Arrow Dynamics Suspended Coaster. While the layout seems pretty simple on paper, the use of the terrain, along with its interactions with the log flume, bring this coaster to the next level!


-----
Apocalypse
Apocalypse is the parks sole wooden coaster, manufactured by Great Coasters International. I was a huge fan of this ride! It was pretty smooth, and had a really fun layout. Also, I appreciated the theming in the queue line!
-----
The Riddler's Revenge
Riddler's Revenge is my favorite Stand Up coaster. The layout is absolutely amazing, with all seven inversions, including a rare loop around the lift. The ride is also extremely smooth, which is unique for a stand up coaster. Definitely in my Magic Mountain top 5!









-----
Twisted Colossus
Twisted Colossus is an RMC Hybrid Coaster. I really enjoyed my ride on here,  but found it to be one of the weaker RMCs, as the airtime was not as intense as rides like The Joker or Wicked Cyclone. Fortunately, the crew was absolutely killing it, and my train raced the other side on both laps! Really fun coaster, and the racing aspect really elevated it!



-----
SCREAM! Ride Out Loud
Scream is a B&M Floorless coaster. This was a very solid ride, and pretty much met my expectations, My only complaint is that it was a little bit rough, nothing that would stop me from riding it again, but not as smooth as I was expecting from B&M.


-----
Full Throttle
Full Throttle is a Premier Triple Launch Coaster, and one of my personal favorite launched roller coasters. While the layout was very short, it packs in a ton of thrills! Only downside is the assigned seating.

-----
Superman: Escape From Krypton
Superman is the parks Strata Coaster, meaning it stands over 400 feet tall. It was a fun ride, but was such a shame to see the park trimming the launch speed. I'd rather the park spend a little more money to have the ride running as it should.
-----
Justice League: Battle For Metropolis
The Magic Mountain installation of Justice League is by far the best. I absolutely loved the Pre Show rooms, and the addition of Harley Quinn seemed natural, instead of just randomly adding her. This was a great way to escape the SoCal sun for a little while.

Photos Around The Park













Six Flags Magic Mountain is a great park with an amazing ride lineup. The park was very clean, and there were never any funky smells ore overfilled trash cans. Likewise, the food at the park was also good, no complaints there. Guest Relations was great, and Claudette seemed very eager to help me with an incident! The only complaint I have about this park, was that there seemed to be no push to improve efficiency.  I feel like this park is already so great, efficient operations on ALL  attractions could make the park that much better.

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
