Happy Monday and welcome to our first update from Six Flags Magic Mountain in a bit. We've been rather busy so haven't really had time to get up to the park to check out what's going on and experience the new events going on at the park.
But I had some time last Friday and needed some coaster fun, so headed up to the park. There doesn't seem to be too much going on right now, guessing most of it is happening backstage for Fright Fest. I'm sure we'll get some news coming up at Midsummer Scream which will be held on July 26-28. If you don't have your tickets yet, be sure to grab them. Magic Mountain will be hosting a live panel on Saturday at 1:30. And we'll of course be there to bring you all the fun and announcements. Let's head into the park for a quick update! We've got photos and video for you today! 
No evident changes to anything out here since the merger with Cedar Fair.
But it's now acceptable to wear Cedar Point shirts at Magic Mountain, and vice versa. Who would have ever thought it would actually happen?
The geese are hanging out as always. Always a fun greeting from them.
I hadn't ridden anything too extreme since our Orlando trip in May so figured I'd start with a classic. Almost got a zen ride but a front row ride on the first train of the day was good enough.
Looks like the bus sustained some damage when it ran over Mr. Six for the Fright Fest announcement.
The general consensus is that Aftermath 2 will be converted to Army of the Dead for Fright Fest, and it does look like some work is going on.
The main building is still there, which makes sense. This area could easily house two mazes for Fright Fest.
New since our last visit, the VIP lounge is now an arcade. I think this is a much better use of the space TBH.
A look inside the arcade. Some arcade games, but mostly claw machine games.
Like most arcades these days, you will need to buy an arcade game card to play.
Unfortunately the boardwalk games do not use the same system but use credit cards, Apple/Google pay or the Cash to a Card. Would be great if they would all be on the same system. Would definitely make it easier for park guests.
The umbrellas that were (obviously) temporary on the new Jet Stream bridge have been removed. We'll see what the more permanent covering on the bridge looks like hopefully soon.
The new bridge looks fantastic BTW!
Somebody on Twitter had asked what the old Dragon station looks like, well here you go. The path of the dragon pretty much ran parallel to the final Ninja Lift Hill. And you can still see the turn-around on the top side in the Ninja Station floor.
Took a spin on Riddler's Revenge for the first time in awhile. Still a top 5 coaster at the park. And I still say it would be #2 at the park if it had sit-down trains. B&M doesn't make them like this any more.
Decided to check out some of the decor for the Heroes and Villains Fest. Have heard great things about this event.
Kitty!
No progress on whatever is taking the place of the Golden Bear Theater. We are getting close to the traditional announcement season. Maybe we'll know soon?
BTW, for anybody who thought we'd no longer be able to take construction updates while in the park, we got some clarification from the park regarding construction updates: "If you’re sharing park updates that are visible from the park midways, you’re free to post what you’d like as long as you’re in guest accessible areas". Hope that helps.
Lastly, a look at the updated parking lot and solar panels. Looks fantastic and a much needed improvement.
That said, I really do hope they are going to repave all of the entry/exit roads before they are done with the project. It needs it.
Alright everybody, that's going to wrap it up for this update. Hope you enjoyed! We will probably be back at the park soon once Fright Fest prep starts happening!

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
