Over the weekend we headed up to Six Flags Magic Mountain for our first update from the park in quite awhile. Since Fright Fest actually. Our visit was actually quite pleasant, it was a beautiful day, crowds were very low and everything we wanted to ride was open. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of offseason refurbishments going on, because there are. In addition, it does seem they're still having a few issues with Wonder Woman. It's been opening later in the day and has had a lot of downtime. We have every confidence they'll figure out these issues and the ride will be ready to go full time for Spring Break. Let's head into the park and see what's new!  Still one of the most amazing park entrances.  I'm going to reach out to the park to see what all is a part of Tailgate Weekends. Stay tuned!  Still some Holiday in the Park lights and decor sprinkled throughout the park.  Goliath is closed for a refurbishment and rumored repaint. Nothing evident yet.  DC Universe continues to add little touches which is nice.  Some new hoodies in the store!
 Lots of tables and shade have been added. The land really does need a food location, restroom and another flat ride. Hopefully that is coming.  The new facades have been completed and look great!    Definitely more "Metropolis" than Gotham or even basic DC Universe. Will be interesting to see if there is further integration with the other Metropolis area.  Teen Titans Turbo Spin is looking great! Maybe the 6th name for this attraction will stick. =)  Jet stream is also closed for refurbishment. No visible work going on but we'd LOVE to see some work on the flume and either new boats or a complete refurb of the fleet.  Something is going on behind the go-karts. I don't know if this is for the park or for the houses/shops behind the park.  Could possibly be a sound wall of some kind.  After suggesting this for years, they've finally moved the Six Flags bus to the "Bus Stop" in The Underground. It is perfect here!  Another look at Jet Stream, no visible work going on here.  Those who have followed our site know that I had a lot of issues with this advertisement in particular.  I'm proud to say it's finally gone!! I don't mind ads for the most part, but that one just rubbed me the wrong way. Glad to see this back to normal. And yes, the cracks and stuff are part of what we call "themeing". =)  X2 is also closed for a refurb. When I rode Viper I did see a train outside of the station, not sure if the other one was in the station, but there was some activity going on.  Chop Six (which I actually liked) has been converted to Primo's Pizzeria.  Some new Goliath and West Coast Racers shirts. I love both of these designs and the WCR in particular is much better than the "West Coast Customs" font shirts.  A couple of additional Goliath shirts to wrap up this update. Related Videos

Happy Monday loyal Park Journey readers! Welcome to another update from Six Flags Magic Mountain and for Wonder Woman Flight of Courage. Lots to see since our last update, including a lot of track!! Don't forget to check out our video update below, and subscribe to our YouTube channel. Those updates generally get posted a day or two before the blog updates. Written by Gregg Condon  Early mornings at SFMM are great, you have the park almost to yourself and can get great shots like this. Even if there is a photobomber (above the O)  From the DC Universe side, you can't see much different from this side of the wall. But I did ride Riddler's Revenge and there is a lot of work going on back there.  The station is getting reshaped a bit, so it won't be exactly the same as the Green Lantern station.  They are also pouring a foundation for a shop/restaurant near the entrance of Batman. We'll hopefully learn what it is soon.  Not much change on the former Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth.  Most of the action right now is on the Metropolis side.  Lots of track and probably more since Friday.  Some track waiting to be installed.  Love when we can get pics/video of rides from all angles!!   Ready for some more track here!   I do have to say, some of the supports seem to be scuffed up pretty good (more evident in the video). I do hope they address that before the ride opens.  Lots of supports, just like West Coast Racers!   From near Superman, you can see a lot of the work for Wonder Woman.  Hey Full Throttle!  Somebody is going to get pics/video of Full Throttle, Riddler's, Batman and Wonder Woman all running at the same time!  A couple of random things from around the park. They are continuing to do some ground clearing near the Golden Bear theater. Don't get excited, likely just landscaping. Also, a reminder, don't mess with the Geese. Not only will they attack you, they're also federally protected.  This is new near Roaring Rapids, and it looks awesome!  A lot of awesome details for us old-timers!   This is also a new picture, note the Tatsu paint job.  The area around Full Throttle needs some touching up still. I still have yet to ride Full Throttle this year. It never seems to be open with the park.  The Full Throttle Nights stage has been torn down, this seems to be a yearly process though so don't expect it to really go anywhere. Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoyed! We have lots of stuff coming up this week including Knott's Boysenberry Festival on Friday, Disneyland this weekend and maybe, just maybe, a special treat from Florida tomorrow. Stay Tuned!! Related Videos

Happy Monday! It's time for another update from Six Flags Magic Mountain, checking out the progress on Wonder Woman Flight of Courage and the Tatsu paint job. Not too much has changed since our update last week, but our vlog update does contain some work going on with both Wonder Woman and Tatsu from a distance! Enjoy!! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome to SFMM!  No new progress on the new restroom  Holiday in the Park merchandise was still everywhere, as well as the food items. Expect to see this stuff being removed this week.  GIGA COASTER CONFIRMED!!  But likely just some concrete/plumbing work.  Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth is still there, but they were doing a lot of work on this side of the site. Which meant we couldn't see a whole bunch.  A truck was there, doing something.  No new progress here, expect that to change very soon.  Sorry for the extreme zoom, down near the DC Universe Store they were doing some work. Check out our vlog for more.  Hope the bus stays after Holiday in the Park  The path between The Underground and Tatsu is now closed due to Tatsu repainting.  Train is just sitting there, you'd think they'd want it inside.  At least one train is in the warehouse, maybe two as there were none in the station.  They were prepping the first drop for paining on Friday. Likely more has been done over the past few days.
