Lets not encourage the cheap carnival coasters please... they already have 3 of them, which is bad enough... but its even worse that they are part of Six Flags coaster count. Roadrunner Express is acceptable though
Anyway, here are a few pics from this past Friday, August 3rd (Sorry, been busy with work & lazy as f*#k). Better late than never.
^CraZanity now has a mini metal railing around the lack of landscaping. It'd look even better if they actually finished the landscaping because the dirt/netting looks terrible. Also, I've even noticed that some of the grand opening ceremony confetti is STILL in the "flower bed" around the sign
Another recent addition was speakers were added so they can play music around the ride area. Not pictured, but I love their shelving unit they added after opening weekend for loose articles/bags because it actually is a locked cage while guests are on the ride.
^OLD MONORAIL TRACK.... can be seen while on CraZanity, but it is located behind Johnny Rockets, totally in view from the seating area. Closed in 2001 & sat abandoned for years. CraZanity sits where one of the 3 monorail stations were located. The track can be seen while on Swashbuckler.
^"KWERK" is still a thing in the GearWorks Theatre. It has taken a little inspiration from "The Greatest Showman", including using two songs from the film ("This is Me" & "Walking a Tightrope"). The show is okay, but doesn't exactly have repeat value. It is still more or less much of the same. Completely underusing this theatre.
^"Daffy Duck's Dance-Off is a cute show, but it could be drastically improved. The characters have the perfect personalities to do a better show similar to what is found at Disney parks with their characters. However, for the love of god & all things filled with A/C.... the green mesh strips of fabric do absolutely NOTHING to block the sun. They need to put an actual awning over this stage/seating & (just like everywhere else in the park) install fans/misting-fans. :deadhorse: Unfortunately, due to the heat, the characters can't do photo-ops after the show. :'( I want a pic with Lola!!! :tease:

Now onto the Fright Fest side of things....
^At the front of the park they have this new photo-op display promoting Fright Fest. :exclap:
Red's Revenge facade can be seen from Roadrunner Express... Sure this debuted in 2014, but the maze itself has such great details.
SEWER OF SOULS (3D)
^I'm really kinda loving the facade for this maze. During the MSS panel, they did mention THIS would be the new "3D maze" since "Toyz of Terror" was replaced with "Condemned: Forever Damned". I'm very curious to see how this maze turns out because it sounds fun. The inner facade circle says
"BEWARE DWELLERS"
The Fright Fest 2018 website was also recently updated:
FRIGHT FEST 2018 : Voted America's Best Theme Park Halloween Event 2015-2017 | Six Flags Magic Mountain
Here is an interesting and shocking unexpected plot twist... While "Dead End" & "Toyz of Terror 3D" were replaced this year, we finally lost
"Chupacabra". Unfortunately, with no maze replacement. But if you look at the updated Fright Fest website, we also lost "
VAULT 666" this year as well. :surprised: However, we WILL apparently see the return of
"AFTERMATH" this year despite the construction back there & everything closed (Apocalypse is noticeably absent from the "rides" section). So not sure what the hell is going on but budget cuts are apparent (and were rumored despite being open year round now. Allegedly the new area coming to Apocalypse is the cause).
