My day started off with sitting on West Coast Racers for about an hour. Not a bad way to start the day. It was pretty chilly!! 
Picture
They've added a LOT more themeing since the previews. The garage looks like, well, a garage now!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
After sitting on the ride I decided to get off and get some sunrise footage of the ride, because let's be honest, sunrise coaster rides are awesome and all too rare. 
Picture
Including a time-lapse of the area and coaster. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some really cool details, even on the turnstile. 
Picture
They've done a really great job with the rest of The Underground. The store wasn't open for us today, we'll do a walk-through next time we're at the park.

West Coast Racers Update (Six Flags Magic Mountain) - November 10, 2019

Picture
Today we headed up to Six Flags Magic Mountain for our first "park" update in a few months. Between vacations, Fright Fest and everything else it's been kind of hard to get up for a daytime visit. Plus with Apocalypse closed it was kind of getting repetitive since we couldn't see more of the ride. 
But not today!! Not only was the back area open, but more of the area is starting to take shape. We have a LOT to get to today, so let's get to it!! 

Written by Gregg Condon
Early entry FTW!! 
Picture
Hey Tatsu, we see you hiding back there. 
Picture
DE-NIED!! Well, hope you enjoyed the update!!! 

Actually, the area was closed while Apocalypse was still testing. We had to come back later. 
Picture
Sling Shot is open as well 
Picture
Ready to head Underground? 
Picture
Video update and pics continuing below
Curvy
Picture
The station is really starting to take shape
Picture
Picture
Picture
It's gonna be awesome to see trains flying overhead in all directions
Picture
Nice Curves!! 
Picture
Picture
And lots of them! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Twisty stuff all over the place
Picture
Picture
More of the station
Picture
The rest of the area is, well, not done. Crossing our fingers they don't leave it like this. 
Picture
Picture
There were supposed to be a lot more planters than two. 
Picture
Launch and electrical stuff. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some were expecting testing to start tomorrow, don't see that happening, but it should happen very soon. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Twin Charged Tacos is open!!
Picture
Street Tacos and Sopes. 
Picture
Would have greatly preferred more Coke Freestyle. 
Picture
But it looks quite nice inside. 
Picture
The restrooms are also open, very nice but no pics inside. Because that's just creepy. 
Picture
An overhead view from Samurai Summit. 
Picture
Picture
This is as far as you can get for now. 
Picture
Picture
Picture

Holiday in the Park
The park is preparing for Holiday In The Park, which begins in (checks calendar), 13 days? Didn't Fright Fest JUST end? 
Picture
Merch already available in the stores. 
Picture
Including, Christmas Poop Hats? I mean, what did you eat!?!?! 
The globes are back in Metropolis. 
Picture
Picture
Lots of lights strung up for Rockin' Universe. 
Picture

Around The Park
A few random odd's and end's from around the rest of the park. 

Revolution is currently running 1 train. The other train is on the transfer track. Not sure if it's getting pulled off or if it's coming back soon. 
Picture
Some Fright Fest props are still waiting to get put away for the winter. 
Picture
Picture
Superman (and Lex Luthor) are currently closed. 
Picture
More Fright Fest stuff lingering. They should do a "dark Christmas" theme in this area. =) 
Picture
Picture
Alrighty, that's going to wrap it up. We'll obviously be keeping our eyes on West Coast Racers over the next couple of weeks for testing and an opening date. As soon as we know, you will too!!
