@Wesker69 You've been awfully silent man. What are your thoughts on all this? What coaster do you think MM will be getting?
hah... sorry, been MIA due to working A LOT the past week or so. Six Flags in their own special way blatantly told everyone what the coaster would be with their 6 teaser posters on the construction walls- a launched, dueling, racing coaster. Honestly, people were getting way too invested on the "what", especially when they had no idea what it would actually be (not even alleged insiders). At the end of the day, no matter what the park announced, we were all going to end up at the park & ride it at some point in time.
As for my thoughts?... The new midway "looks" nice, but I'll believe the concept art when I see it in person. However, this particular "look" makes me feel it should've been next to Full Throttle. Unfortunately, the existing food/bathrooms are probably only going to get cosmetic surgery instead of the full "rebuilt from the ground up" treatment they need/deserve. Yay for new NON-cracked midways that haven't been touched since the park opened! ....."Steel Colossus" should be fun, but from an operations stand-point, it feels like it will have awful turnaround time. Yay 3hr waittime!
Anyway.... whether you want to love the new coaster or trash it, the park already has new shirts to buy....
Two "West Coast Racer" logo tshirts & two "West Coast Customs/Magic Mountain" tshirts.
In other news, I've got a bunch of Fright Fest prep pics, so I'll just create a separate thread for the event. If Knotts can have a separate Scary Farm thread, then so should Fright Fest. I'll post it later tonight or tomorrow night after work.
