SFMM PTR 11/1/09 - COASTER-net.com Forums

Went to Magic Mountain yesterday, expected it to be completely empty, and it was. Creepy empty. I didn't really have any lines to deal with, and the park was even open until 10, so I got there at opening, stayed till closing, and got...26 rides. Could have gotten more, A LOT more, but throwing up in trash cans just isn't that much fun anymore...

If you're wondering how empty the park was, X2 ( http://www.youtube.c...h?v=7EOsd4ZwRVI ) and Tatsu had empty station's around 8 (along with everything else), and Superman had a completely empty queue and station at night (that's where the creepy part came in). Got to stay on Terminator at night twice in a row, and I could have ridden it about 38 more times...but yeah, I was pretty ride-ed out by then. It was pretty great being able to ride whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted, so this is definitely the day to go (except next year they'll probably be closed on this day since it'll be Monday).

I also begged to ride Percy, again. Still won't let me...but I will not give up.

Ride Count:

X2 x4
Terminator Salvation The Ride x6
Riddler’s Revenge x1
Batman The Ride x1
Jet Stream x1
Ninja x2
Superman The Escape x3
Orient Express x1
Viper x1
Log Jammer x1
Yosemite Sam Sierra Falls x1
Goliath x2
Gold Rusher x1
Tatsu x1

Sounds like the perfect day, and it pretty much was, but I was really disappointed with Terminator's crew. There was completely NO LINE all day, yet they were making everyone watch all three pre-shows ALL DAY. Near-empty trains kept going out, and when you'd get to the station you'd find it pretty much empty, but every single time you had to go through all the pre shows. That got very annoying.

Here is Terminator's train coming into the station for my first ride on it yesterday.

This is new. There are now two doors in Terminator's pre-show queue blocking people from going to the next one. I guess they had a problem with this...possibly because the pre-show is boring?

Stuck? Actually it wasn't this time.

Riddler's was running good. Felt rougher than usual, but the hang-time was insane.

Rode Batman in the rear...

I thought my legs were getting ripped off.

Didn't ride Scream...really not a fan of this ride.

It is a decent looking coaster...from inside the park.

I tried to get Superman and Tatsu in the same picture, but right as the train was coming a big crowd of GP came by and messed the shot up. GP...
