Six Flags Magic Mountain

[Wild Atlantis]

Magic Mountain is throwing its 20-coaster record out the window, but with how operations and reliability have been in recent years, it's probably for the best. This will be a nice refresher of the land. I wish they would bring back the redwood as part of these plans or some kind of kids' splash pad. But they neeeeeeeed to address the samurai summit that area is all but abandoned, except for the ninja, which is on its last legs.

Notice there were no mazes up there for Fright Fest this year. Almost as if they planned for this.

Um, Willoughy's Mansion has something to say about that. It was open, along with the scare zone up the hill.

But to your point, there was no Sewer of Souls, so it was down a maze.

Honestly, it about the last year or so, operations and reliability have drastically improved. But I do agree they probably have more coasters than they need, and I don't mind losing some for improved reliability and ease of maintenance.

I also agree that I think we all thought that Samurai Summit would be the next area to get refurbed, being the last major area of the park that hasn't been yet. But I think we all forgot about the kiddie area, haha. Still, does make me wonder what will happen up there, if anything.

Oh right I legit forgot about Willoughby’s. Still, that maze has been there since 2011. Heard rumbling about this past year being its last so point still remains.

Well, with Superman, laughing Dragon, the old skyway station, the magic pagoda, and the tower all being abandoned, and ninja not exactly being in the prime of its life, this land needs a breath of life much more than the fine kids' lands did

Confirmed, coaster delayed until 2027.


The Samurai Summit project is still very much in the works, but of course is delayed due to the other delay lol.

And as anyone could have guessed as soon as the merger happened, the plan is to re crown Cedar Point as the coaster leader.

 

[Wild Atlantis]

Wouldn't the most coasters record go to Energylandia, not Cedar Point?

 

[Rideguy70]

This is America... we no longer care about other countries

For now, but the plan is to add several more coasters to CP

On Looney tunes land, I think its for the best

The land needs a refresh and while it sucks to lose some rides....at least when I go there is no one on those rides so makes sense like with fright fest to offer less but better experiences

Hopefully this draws more families and we get more shows in the Looney Tunes theater....I think its the one thing missing from the holidays and halloween....no Looney tunes shows. So hopefully this will help get enough people for more shows through out the year and I think thememing being updated will make the land feel just much better


The no new coaster next year makes sense from what I've read here, sorry to those waiting for that ride


The Ninja area does need a redo as well...just sucks we will lose the best family coaster in the park for a while

What would those possibly consist of? I know in the article regarding CP attendance, they said it would be 4 years until a new one...

The next coaster is a family one, from Vekoma. The combo of TT2 and Siren's Curse gave the park their highest attendance in years.

CP has had 3 coaster projects in 3 years while they are subtracting from legacy SF. Pretty obvious what's about to happen.

It's all good though, id much prefer SFMM begin to redefine themselves as a more well rounded offering say like...the Kings Island of the west coast.

What future big coaster rumblings have you heard for CP? (Last cp question lol)

 

[Rideguy70]

Back to Ninja for a moment, when I mused on Bluesky about the state of Samurai Summit, Screamscape replied that he thought the removal of Ninja was contingent on the new coaster opening. With it now officially delayed, Ninja may have gotten a bit of a reprieve.

 

[Jerroddragon]

So are both the next coasters that are coming rumored to be on the top of the hill?

I guess I dont know where the coaster for the old Golden Bear theater would load but would it be loading from the top of the hill or down where the theater used to be?
