The all new Bonzai Pipelines at Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles opened this past weekend. The park was LONG overdue for a new attraction as the last new slide was Tornado in 2004. 
Below is some B-Roll from the park, a press release, some of the pictures we took as well as some pictures provided by the park. 
We are planning on heading out to the park this weekend to do a full park report along with our normal Magic Mountain report.

Below is the video including B-Roll of the slides and the set-up for the Dive-In Movies. 
When we arrived at the park, it was so busy that we had to park in the dirt lot. It's been at least a decade since we've had to park out here. Although, to be fair, we are typically "park opening" people and we arrived about 1:00pm.

Inside the park, you can see that it was a very busy day. We were at the park last year on July 4th and it wasn't even this busy. There were also some of the slides closed in addition to the Bonzai Pipelines. Hopefully the park will go back to opening earlier in May next year to get the opening weekend out of the way prior to the busy Memorial Weekend.

If you'd like to suggest a movie to be shown on the screen you can do so on the parks twitter @sfmagicmountain. Or post below and we'll be sure to let the park know your suggestions since they follow us.

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashes Into Summer With NEW Bonzai Pipelines

VALENCIA, Calif. — May 27, 2014 / PRNewswire / — Bigger, Better and Wetter than ever, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is ready to keep Southern Californian’s cool all summer long. The park opened for the 20th season on Memorial Day weekend and introduced several exciting new additions to the popular water park. 

Bonzai Pipelines, two impressive thrill slides that sit side-by-side, features a unique launching capsule system on Taboo Tower. After reaching the top of the five-story tower, guests step into the enclosed vertical capsule where the floor drops out beneath them, sending riders free-falling 40 miles-per-hour down the slide.
