First Six Flags Magic Mountain Update of 2023

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! 

Picture
Still one of the most amazing park entrances.
Picture
I'm going to reach out to the park to see what all is a part of Tailgate Weekends. Stay tuned!
Picture
Still some Holiday in the Park lights and decor sprinkled throughout the park.
Picture
Goliath is closed for a refurbishment and rumored repaint. Nothing evident yet.
Picture
DC Universe continues to add little touches which is nice.
Picture
Some new hoodies in the store!
Picture
Picture
Picture
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.
Picture
The new facades have been completed and look great!
Picture
Picture
Picture
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.
Picture
Teen Titans Turbo Spin is looking great! Maybe the 6th name for this attraction will stick. =)
Picture
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.
Picture
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.
Picture
Could possibly be a sound wall of some kind.
Picture
After suggesting this for years, they've finally moved the Six Flags bus to the "Bus Stop" in The Underground. It is perfect here!
Picture
Another look at Jet Stream, no visible work going on here.
Picture
Those who have followed our site know that I had a lot of issues with this advertisement in particular.
Picture
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". =)
Picture
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.
Picture
Chop Six (which I actually liked) has been converted to Primo's Pizzeria.
Picture
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.
Picture
A couple of additional Goliath shirts to wrap up this update.

Wonder Woman Flight Of Courage UPdate #9 - April 18, 2022

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
Picture
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)
Picture
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.
Picture
The station is getting reshaped a bit, so it won't be exactly the same as the Green Lantern station.
Picture
They are also pouring a foundation for a shop/restaurant near the entrance of Batman. We'll hopefully learn what it is soon.
Picture
Not much change on the former Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth.
Picture
Most of the action right now is on the Metropolis side.
Picture
Lots of track and probably more since Friday.
Picture
Some track waiting to be installed.
Picture
Love when we can get pics/video of rides from all angles!!
Picture
Picture
Ready for some more track here!
Picture
Picture
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.
Picture
Lots of supports, just like West Coast Racers!
Picture
Picture
From near Superman, you can see a lot of the work for Wonder Woman.
Picture
Hey Full Throttle!
Picture
Somebody is going to get pics/video of Full Throttle, Riddler's, Batman and Wonder Woman all running at the same time!
Picture
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.
Picture
This is new near Roaring Rapids, and it looks awesome!
Picture
A lot of awesome details for us old-timers!
Picture
Picture
This is also a new picture, note the Tatsu paint job.
Picture
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.
Picture
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!!

Six Flags Magic Mountain Wonder Woman Flight of Courage Update #4

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
Picture
Welcome to SFMM!
Picture
No new progress on the new restroom
Picture
Holiday in the Park merchandise was still everywhere, as well as the food items. Expect to see this stuff being removed this week.
Picture
GIGA COASTER CONFIRMED!!
Picture
But likely just some concrete/plumbing work.
Picture
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.
Picture
A truck was there, doing something.
Picture
No new progress here, expect that to change very soon.
Picture
Sorry for the extreme zoom, down near the DC Universe Store they were doing some work. Check out our vlog for more.
Picture
Hope the bus stays after Holiday in the Park
Picture
The path between The Underground and Tatsu is now closed due to Tatsu repainting.
Picture
Train is just sitting there, you'd think they'd want it inside.
Picture
At least one train is in the warehouse, maybe two as there were none in the station.
Picture
They were prepping the first drop for paining on Friday. Likely more has been done over the past few days.
