Well this is going forward either way. SFMM also obtained the demolition permit this week also. Maybe porto-potties? Better than what is there that is for sure.This will be much appreciated, but part of me says they shouldn't start working on this until they get the reported new bathrooms back by Wonder Wonder (formerly behind The Flash Musak Express ride was). Without those, and if they close off the Steampunk area ones, there's no bathrooms between Goliath and the bumper cars. That's a pretty long stretch. I barely get by sometimes with just the Steampunk ones. So is there any timeline for the ones near WW?
In other news, according to the IG account ourmountain_thrillpark, they stated that the second GP parking lot not only finished their solar panel work, but did get repaved (I don't believe it's open yet). So there's hope for the entire lot eventually getting repaved. The employee lot opened not too long ago with solar panels and repaving. I spoke to a employee at Scream and asked her about it... she said it's really nice, but it took them over 2 weeks from repaving to finally opening the lot up to usage.
It looks good the lot. Unfortunately they did not do a complete tear out of the old asphalt and opted for the cheaper option of a slurry seal. Won't last as long, but a small improvement.Quick visit to the park today... Superman was open, and both Ninja and Tatsu were in 2-train ops at last. Roaring Rapids also open. Crazanity, Wonder Woman, and Drop of Down down. But biggest news: the far solar parking lot is now open to guests, and it has been repaved! It's a Six Flags miracle!

At Six Flags Magic Mountain, and the far lot of solar panel parking is now being used and has been repaved!bsky.app
Man that’s looooooooooooooooooooong overdue.
well I worked at the park back in 2018-2019, but it's definitely been a problem longer than that lolHow many times has there been a long line outside the funnel cake shop whenever the park closes?
I've never tried their funnel cake but I've heard it's on par or even better than Disney and Knott’s. Would love to see an expanded space with somewhere to sit indoors and enjoy them
Six Flags had big plans for several of their parks to get major redesigns of their entrances which are long overdue. As usual they cut the budgets at the last minute.Understatement on those park entrance buildings (funnel cake, both giftshops, both restrooms, lockers, ice cream etc) needing to be demolished & rebuilt with a better design.
It's honestly annoying they couldn't have used covid as an excuse to revamp the entire entrance in 2020/2021 (while adding another flat ride to the park)
