Six Flags Magic Mountain

[Freak]

Word around the park is we're getting a Giant Frisbee like SFDK's. Hoping for a Tidal Wave replacement.

YYEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!

YYEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!

NOT BAD!!!! I thought the word was that Magic Mountain was gonna get a dive coaster ?

Maybe eventually. I really hope they sweeten the real in 2018 with an enterprise.

 

[Rideguy70]

^They already had an enterprise, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I'm not sold on us getting a Dive Coaster, even then that rumor is hard to believe. SF hasn't made a large capital investment on a coaster over 20 Mil since Tatsu, and I doubt they'd wanna waste it on something as generic as a dive coaster to compete with CP... besides, I heard our rumored 50th Anniversary Coaster is what you should REALLY get excited about... hehehe...

That's been "the word" for over a decade. I doubt it's ever happening.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!

Please tell me it's what I think it is!!!!

As for the dive coaster rumor...I won't be mad if we get it, but I'll be very happy to not get it.

Why do I want to ask the obligatory "Sooo what is the Rumored 50th Anniversary Coaster" post, but I think I am going to wait.

It doesn't seem like a Dive, so I have to wonder what it may be.

My first instinct says something not done before to a sense, and my mind goes first to something from Mack's disposal. But I would be wondering if they may go Intamin instead. Either way, both have very unique offerings that would be great for Six Flags.

Something that rhymes with ziga

Something that rhymes with ziga

So something that equals tallest and fastest in SoCal? That would also be expensive, and my thought leads to the hope that they upgrade the park entrance similar to the amazing entrance up at Carowinds.

Also @Alexshow , there's a reason SF is using Raptor track right now before they purchase T-Rex track for their bigger parks... *wink wink* look at it as more of... testing the waters.

If the park does get an RMC Raptor track, they should use that for the Viper replacement. Let the Giga be its own thing.

 

[chris.g]

The giga won't be Raptor track... but it could be a T-Rex one. It would be cheaper, allow for less space clearance, etc. I don't know the manufacturer for sure, but what I've seen so far points to a T-Rex

That would be amazing. Knock out two wishes for the price of one.

Now what would replace Viper?

So aside from the rumored Giant Discovery, one of those small power splashes.

 

[Freak]

Screamscape is getting conflicting sources. One is claiming a king-sized super loop (Please no). The other is claiming it will be the world's tallest Sky Screamer.

So aside from the rumored Giant Discovery, one of those small power splashes.

I would love to see a Sky Screamer, but I would rather see a Discovery.

 

[chris.g]

Lance is always shaky with SFMM rumors. I'll tell you this, theyre both not happening, 1, unless I'm mistaken SFMM didn't wanna do a super loop because they thought of it as a cop out/ weak ride for the local cliente and 2, a Sky Screamer would be a living nightmare for the park with the new Cal OSHA rules they gave SoCal. Last I heard OSHA wanted there to be stairs on the outside of the tower (which is impossible).

Just know theres a reason Tidal Wave was not renamed for the 2017 season when it was moved/ it's entrance is where it is now... and all signs point to a Giant Discovery.

What would they logistically theme it as? Wonder Woman's already at SFMM, so unless if the Standup flat changes name; it has to be something else.

^ A rumor thrown around was that the Giant Frisbee would come alongside a flat ride package themed to DC villains. So perhaps Frisbee - Joker, (if it happens) Powersplash - Penguin, 3rd ride - ???
