Six Flags Fright Fest 2025 (Magic Mountain)

[Clive]

I had totally forgotten about this, but totally agree. Twisted Colossus in particular felt like a throwback to a time when Magic Mountain had not just competent, but enthusiastic ride operators. I'd love if that spoke to a new culture beginning to permeate through the park, but I've been hurt before.

It's apparently been four years since I've visited the park, so I probably missed some peaks and valleys, but my overall takeaway is that while the park has a long, long way to go to become the world-class destination they clearly want it to be, it's moving in the right direction, which is sadly more than I can say for Knott's.

(I realized I visited the park when it initially reopened during the peak pandemic, but that's kind of an outlier and doesn't resemble normal ops at all.)
