Holiday In The Park - Six Flags Magic Mountain

Picture
This past Saturday night the online community along with some of those "other" types of news outlets were invited out to Six Flags Magic Mountain for a tour of Holiday In The Park. 
And when we say "Tour" we don't just mean lights and stuff, but a full on culinary overload of so much good food and fun. 

It was a great night hanging out with our friends from other sites because nothing brings people together like lots and lots and lots of unlimited food and hot chocolate. =)

Not so good pictures and video by Gregg Condon

Before we get started on Holiday In The Park stuff, why don't we take a quick look at Revolution. These are definitely the "Before" pictures. But they are hard at work in the station and things seem to be progressing very quickly. 
Picture
Picture
One of these updates we'll do a before/after just to show the amount of trees and other brush that has been cleared. Because it's A LOT. 
Picture
One bit of Twisted Colossus news, the new shed looks to be done over the transfer track. Not sure if no front of back is going to help though with El Nino coming. ;) 
Picture

So one of the biggest things for Holiday In The Park ... the food. And there is PLENTY of it. From great meals to desserts to amazing Hot Chocolate. Below, our food rankings from the plethora of food we tried on Saturday night. 

And trust us, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Be sure to check out the food pics below, but again, not all of it by any means.

At this point you all should be hungry and making your plans to get out to Holiday In The Park. But that's not even the half of it. Let's take a look around at the amazing holiday lights!! 

Let's start off in Winter Wonderland which stretches from Viper to Roaring Rapids. 
Picture
Picture
While the themes this year are the same as last year, there are many more lights this year, I think they said about 30,000 more. 
Picture
It's just amazing how different the park looks from Fright Fest to Holiday In The Park. It's absolutely beautiful. 
Picture
Really don't think it would be a bad thing if they kept it this theme all year. It looks spectacular. 
Picture
Next, let's move over to Rockin' Universe!! 
Picture
Be sure to check out video of one of the fun shows, there are a few of them. 
Picture
More amazing pics from Matt

Look at all the Holiday fun!!

We tried to capture the snowmen from the Snowmen glasses, but you should get them when you go. They are really cool. 
Picture
Lastly, snowy nights, even more fun with Ricky Rocks and friends!!! 
Picture
We ended our night with a ride on Revolution (kind of) with our friend Sean from California Coaster Kings.

Today we have a quick update from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and a look at the all new Joker that's now under construction thanks to a couple of great friends of the site.

Stephen was at the park Thanksgiving Weekend and Andrew was there this past weekend, so we're playing a bit of catch-up but we know you'll enjoy the updates nonetheless. . 

​Thanks for the pics and we hope you all enjoy!!! - Gregg
