SFMM Justice League Update #3

Picture
Well ... that was quick. 

It just seems a couple of weeks ago our last Justice League Update just had some concrete and no walls and no roof and Riddlers Revenge was still open. Wait, it was. Well this week we have walls, well, the supports for walls and a roof, well, the supports for a roof. But they are moving at lightning speed now. Let's take a look! 

Written by Gregg Condon
You can start to see the building from all the way back by Sandblasters (that's the Bumper Cars for those unfamiliar with the park) 
Picture
They've opened up more of the Metropolis area and something appears to be missing ... 
Picture
No more rock wall!! 
Picture
Here's a good look at the rides proximity to Riddlers Revenge 
Picture
And the backside of the building, you can see that the Gazebo has been moved (we think) to where the beer garden will be (we think). 
Picture
From the back you can see just how big the building is. Lots of room for what will probably be a part of the queue (we think). 
Picture
Picture
An aerial view of the entire area, looks like some flowers have been removed from the Riddlers entry area, but some trees (and the gas station) are still there. 
Picture
Just like with every other recent attraction at the park this also includes a complete re-do of the area around the ride. 

The last ride to not come with an area re-do was Terminator/Apocalypse, and that area of the park REALLY sticks out now. Let's hope that's next. 
Picture
Picture
♫ I got my hat ... on ♫
Picture
Of course this means that all of the food locations in the area are closed
Picture
Including JB's which will obviously be renamed 
Picture
These aren't the tables that were here, they look like the ones from the eatery closer to Gold Rusher. 
Picture
This one. ;) 
Picture
Some much needed improvements to this area
Picture
A look inside the Metropolis area
Picture
Some trees have been removed near the Scrambler (insert tree falling on Scrambler joke here) 
Picture
Also near Gold Rusher

Not sure if this has ANYTHING to do with Metropolis, but because CA has been in such a drought the past few years (even with all of our recent rain) a lot of trees have died. We had to cut down a few at our house as well sadly. 
Picture
No work done yet on the future entrance for Tidal Wave. Still say it would take less work to rename this to match the Metropolis theme than to move the entrance and keep the name. 
Picture

There are some things going on elsewhere in the park. 

A fence is now up around the Sky Tower. Don't expect this to be for anything related to the Sky Tower. 
Picture
Picture
It's most likely for work going on with Tatsu which is getting it's lift hill chain replaced. And it's no small job. Expect the ride to be down for at least a few weeks, if not a month. 
Picture
For some reason even though the ride is down for weeks they have a "Temporarily Closed" sign and an Employee out front. Which probably means people are coming by all day asking if it's going to open. Would be easier to just put a wall up and free that Employee to work on an open ride. 
Picture
Picture

The Revolution is running without VR (or in "Classic Style" whatever that is) for a limited time. How limited that time? Who knows. But the ride is still incredibly popular even without the VR. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
With VR this line would have easily been over an hour. Without VR, I was on in about 25 minutes. The employees working the ride seemed to actually enjoy working the ride. 

​Let's hope the VR moves to another ride and not back on Revolution. 
Picture

A few other random park notes ... 

All of the decorations are still up in Gleampunk District as well as the music. Guessing all of the recent rain has delayed the removal of props. But it's fine, it still looks awesome. 
Picture
Not sure if this is new, but I've certainly never noticed it before. Also could be that all of our visits for the previous 4 months were all Fright Fest/Holiday In The Park related. =) 
Picture
Batman is currently running 1 train as the other is being refurbed. 
Picture
My favorite spot to get Superman/Lex Luthor pics. 
Picture
And we'll leave you with a pic of me and Sad Batman ... he said he was always lonely. Poor guy. ;) 
Picture
One other random note, noticed Apocalypse was closed but forgot to investigate if it was just down or under refurb. 

We hope you enjoyed the update, it'll probably be a couple of weeks before our next SFMM update, lots of busy stuff coming up. 

At some point this week we will be having another Facebook Live Chat to discuss 2016 attractions and giving away some IAAPA stuff, so stay tuned to our social media for details about that. You won't want to miss it!!

SFMM Justice League Update #2 

Picture
Happy New Year everybody. We hope you had a fun and safe Holiday season. After a much needed week off we have recharged our LIM's and are ready to kick off another great year of Park Journey. 
​
We will have some great New Years Eve updates later in the week but we figured we'd start off with a look at Justice League at Magic Mountain, as there is actually some stuff to share. 

Written by Gregg Condon
On our week off decided to head up to the park to ride some rides with The Coaster Guy because, you know, he's not at the park enough as it is. ;) 

It was a beautiful if not slightly busy day. The walkways of the park were oddly not too crowded but the ride lines were pretty long. The rides we rode (Viper, Gold Rusher, Scream, Twisted Colossus) were all moving well though as operations seemed great all around the park. 
Picture
Most of the foundation is done here. While there is no building erected yet it appears they are doing things a bit different than the other Justice League rides. 
Picture
Picture
As you can see the foundation for the ride itself is pretty high off the ground. We aren't sure if this is the same for the other rides, but if it is they did this after the building was built. Looking back on our construction pics at SFGAm and SFOG the building was up pretty quick. 
Picture
A look at the back of the site to give a perspective on how big the area is. 
Picture
A closer shot, you can see just how high the foundation goes from the ground. Yes, these were taken from a public area. =) 
Picture
From the other side, you can see how much concrete they've been using here. 
Picture
Picture
Since we were at the park for Holiday in the Park, we got a rare nighttime construction photo as well. ;) 
Picture
In addition, some trees have started to be removed as they prepare to turn this area into Metropolis. 

We'd anticipate that the area will be closing pretty soon, probably when the park goes back to weekend only operation next week. 
Picture
Some more ground clearing work going on near the food area. Possibly for the beer garden. 
Picture
The Johnny Rocket's on the backside of the park now has mobile ordering using the Six Flags app. Cool idea, let's see if it takes off. We love using our mobile app at Starbucks. 
Picture
One other small note, some Fright Fest props are back near Twisted Colossus still. They will probably make their way further backstage soon. 
Picture
Also, quick note, starting tomorrow (January 2nd) The New Revolution will be in "traditional" mode (NO VR) the way God, err, Anton intended.

​It's going to be interesting to see how the ride functions with no VR. No timetable has been set for the return of the VR, but let's hope they move it to a lesser ride (Green Lantern maybe ... lol). 
Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this New Years update. We hope you enjoyed. 

Now that construction is picking up we'll be attempting to have more updates of Justice League than we've been having. Helps that there's no more holiday events to cover too. ;) 

Hopefully there will be another tour of Justice League soon.
