April 16th, 2016 SFMM update and 2017 Project Speculation

We headed up to Six Flags Magic Mountain the other day to take a look at the all new white train on The New Revolution and to take a look around the park at what's maybe coming for 2017. 

We'll be back at the park on Thursday so we'll have more from The New Revolution then but for now let's take a look at the new train and some nice night shots from friend of the site Cody. 

But the bulk of today's update is going to be looking at the potential for 2017 and a nice video we put together discussing some things about that project. Not really "what" the project us (as we don't know) but the potential and what that might mean for the rest of the backside of the park.

Before we get started, don't forget to get your tickets for Mountain Madness 2.0. We've got a great day planned for you and you definitely don't want to miss it. Click the picture below for all of the details. 

The nice and shiny white train

If possible it was actually a bit smoother than the red train. So good to have this back. Took a nice front seat ride today without the VR. 

And despite rumors, we did confirm with the park there will not be a 3rd train. Just the Red and White. Too bad as a a Blue train would have filled out the connection quite nicely. 

How about a few night shots from our good friend Cody who was at the park last night. 

And lastly, a couple of gif files we created from video Cody sent us. Love the classic amusement park feel this gives off.

Alright, enough of The New Revolution for now. We'll have more of that later in the week. 

​Our main update this week is looking at the 2017 project area and some speculation on not really the "what" is coming but what that means to the surrounding area. 

We'll start back at the Action Theater which has been completely removed. 

Lots of room here for "something" whether it's a Justice League dark ride or some other type of ride. 

Fences all around the area. Once they start building something it's going to be pretty obvious what's coming. 

Tidal Wave is closed, whatever is coming we have a feeling it's going to be DC themed. Let's hope this ride stays with a nice Aquaman re-theme.

Elsewhere in the park, Grad Nights are coming. 

"It's peanut butter jelly time!" 

Season Pass previews for The New Revolution end on April 17. The ride will be closed April 18-20 and reopen on April 21 with the ribbon cutting at 11am. 

Total accidental almost awesome coaster shot. Didn't even notice the train coming down the first drop until I got home. =) 

Lastly, new slide pieces continue to show up on site. These are replacing the kid friendly slides at the front of the park on "Reptile Ridge". Not sure if it's also replacing the speed slides that are there as well, let's hope the middle slide is staying. That's the best body slide in the park. 

Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. 

Be sure to check out the video above and let us know what you think about our 2017 project speculation and if you think we're crazy or are making maybe a little bit of sense. 

​We'll be back up at the park on Thursday for the grand opening of The New Revolution and then on Friday we'll be at Discovery Kingdom for a tour of The Joker.
