Six Flags Magic Mountain Wonder Woman Flight of Courage Update #12 - May 31, 2022

Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday! Hope you all had a great long holiday weekend, and if you visited any parks you brought your patience with you. We made a quick stop at Magic Mountain on Friday before the weekend crowds showed up, only to see that it was Middle School day in the park. Needless to say, this was the shortest visit I've made to the park since they reopened last year. I think I was at the park for about 45 minutes tops. 

But that was enough time to get some pics and video of what's going on around the park, and use my skip the line pass on Full Throttle. 

I also apologize for the brightness of the pics/video. It was overcast and very bright and not the best day to get pics. Everything looks washed out. Oh well. It happens. =) 

Let's get into the update!

Flags are at half staff for yet another mass shooting. If we're not going to do anything about this we might as well keep them like this. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
Picture
Orient Express/Honda Express has another new name!
Picture
But it was closed during our visit, so not moving.
Picture
The full throttle stage is back up, and decked out for Grad Nite.

What you all came here for!

A look at the almost completed lift hill.
Picture
I have to be honest, I expected them to be a bit further along since it had been 2 weeks since our last update.
Picture
A look at the store/restaurant/we don't know yet. This looks to be in pretty much the same spot as Teen Titans Pizza was, so we're going with food.
Picture
The final turn into the brake run is complete
Picture
The track and Riddler's supports are pretty identical in color

Mid Course Brake Run

Picture
They've started installing the perimeter fence around the coaster.

Looks pretty similar to what is there for Riddler's

I know we'd been discussing a July 4th opening, and they could technically still make it, but it will be close. We had heard track was to be completed by the end of May, that's obviously not happening. Even if it's done by the end of this week, that leaves barely a month to finish if they're hoping for July 4th. I just don't see it happening. Right now I'd say a mid-July opening. But obviously we'll update you all if we hear any different.

Six Flags Magic Mountain Wonder Woman Flight Of Courage Update #11 - April 30, 2022

Happy Saturday and welcome to another update from Six Flags Magic Mountain!

Normally we wait until Monday's to post these updates, but things are happening so fast with construction right now, they'd be outdated by then. Lots of twisty awesomeness to show you today so let's get right into it.

Over here on the DC side we got some news about what's coming the other day. Click the link below to check it out.

Some awesome close to the ground elements too.
Picture
The former Flash/Himalaya is still sitting out behind Scream. I really hope it's going to end up somewhere else.
Picture
SFMM can't afford to lose another flat ride.
Picture
Your gentle reminder, weekdays from now until early June are the absolute best days of the year to visit. Great weather, low crowds and a general relaxed feeling all around the park.
We also did a second video, "Five Things I Would Do at Six Flags Magic Mountain If I Was in Charge". 

But I kept this realistic, and honestly, rather low cost. So you're not going to see "Add a Giga" or "Open the Sky Tower" in this video.
