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.

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.

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!

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.

While I am certainly keeping my expectations low, I have some cautious optimism for this. I'm a huge fan of Robin (as in Batman and), and I'm hoping he'll get a little more representation here. They've had Robin out at some media events, so it's not out of the question.

I'd hope for Riddler to have an appearance (to be fair, he SHOULD have a presence regularly due to the coaster).

Not sure if Lex Luthor would be doable. Maybe with his battle armor?

I'm thinking an expansion of the Funnel Cake store?

It needs it. While the candy store has a few decent things here/there, expanding the Funnel Cake location is definitely needed.

Honestly, they could easily relocate the candy store options if they really made the effort.

Man that’s looooooooooooooooooooong overdue.

How 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

Yeah, that Candy Store that used to be behind the Funnel Cake place has been close for at least a month or so, so I figured something was up.

Still, IMO, that entire building (which also houses pitiful bathrooms that basically serve as the main park entrance/exit bathrooms) should be fully razed and built from the group up.

Generally speaking, they actually are pretty decent, especially when fresh.

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)

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.

Speaking of, there are rumors at Great Adventure of several rides being listed as "closed for the season" or have limited hours and days of operation posted. Supposedly it's part of across the board budget cuts by Six Flags. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same showing up at MM and I've heard the new ride is now on hold.

I'm guessing they have a bad quarterly report about to come out...

To be fair, they budget cut enough with their 1-train operations & terrible staffing at Magic Mountain.

If their current project got delayed, 2025 is going to suck for SoCal after Hollywood Drift derailed to 2026. Montezooma's Revenge 2.0 is our only hope now. Maybe SeaWorld will add a new flat ride, but I doubt it
