 Happy Thanksgiving Eve everybody, and welcome to our first Six Flags Magic Mountain update since, checks calendar, February. Wow. This is definitely the longest we've ever gone between updates from the park, but we've got a great one for you today. We've now experienced Holiday In The Park Drive-Thru experience twice, and we absolutely love it. Below are some pics from Saturday and last night, and a video drive-through from Saturday. We also did a live-stream last night which was a lot of fun, even if Mariah Carey stole all of our ad revenue. Let's get to the fun! Written by Gregg Condon Hi X2 ... hope we get to ride you soon!  The entrance to the park, we aren't going in this way.  Remember, you must have a reservation to drive through the park!  You start off going through the employee entrance.  Video from our experience on Saturday. I think it's time for a new GoPro, ours is 6 years old and it shows. But still, hope you enjoy! We enjoyed putting this together. Hello old friend. I would say the chances of this being set up in the "Bus Parking" section of the Underground are very high once the park reopens.   Let's head in for some holiday fun!   You start off in Rockin' Universe!     And them move through the Boardwalk. CraZanity was running, and I really did want to jump out for a ride!
Merry Lane looking as festive as ever! 
A few things in The Underground, and some cool cars!   All of the performers were great, distanced and wearing masks!  These LED lights need to stay on the Ninja supports! Who's with me!?!?
Always loved this area of the park during the holidays 
 Some new characters on the hill heading towards Viper  Chances that these penguins are from Astroworld and have been sitting in storage for 16 years? =)
 You really do drive through the entire park (except Samurai Summit)    Hi Sylvester!!! We miss you!!!  Our favorite Mrs. Claus. Hope her and her sister Lurane, Lorraine are doing well. =)  Likewise, hope these LED lights on Goliath remain.  Somebody had some fun as Lex Luthor is indeed Jewish (it's canon, we checked)  Steampunk Christmas!!   SANTA! I know him!!  We had an absolutely wonderful time at Holiday In The Park, and we'll be back for sure. It's a totally stress-free evening of fun. The entire experience takes about 40 minutes and the line to get in has been about 25-40 minutes, which isn't bad at all. Plus, you get to drive through a theme park. How awesome is that?!?! Have you experienced the Holiday In The Park Drive-Thru experience? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Related Videos

 Last weekend we were invited out to experience Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Magic Mountain. We also got a preview of "Taste of Holiday in the Park" which begins December 14th. And of course, we took some time to get a West Coast Racers update now that the ride is testing. Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to a damp Holiday in the Park!  The park was not busy due to the weather which meant we got to say hi to our friend Bugs!!  We first headed back to see if West Coast Racers was tesing  It was!! The rest of the area is starting to come together a bit, still hoping for some more shade.       Vroom!!    The new Coaster Candy store had just opened the day of our visit, and looks great.  Holiday in the ParkPrior to setting out to see the lights, we got a preview of Taste of Holiday in the Park     Everything was REALLY good, we can't wait to head back and try more.  Some of the HITP merchandise  Be sure to buy a bear, and they'll give one to a local charity. We love this.  SANTA!! I know him!!   The popular S'mores stations are back.  Boo, no spider. =)     Lots of awesome characters all around the park  Rockin' Universe!!   The big globes of Merry Lane are back!   The front of the park looked great with the ground wet from the rain  Love this picture     Holiday In The Park continues through January 5th, you can find more information about the event here.

 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!!  Hey Tatsu, we see you hiding back there.  DE-NIED!! Well, hope you enjoyed the update!!! Actually, the area was closed while Apocalypse was still testing. We had to come back later.  Sling Shot is open as well  Ready to head Underground?  Video update and pics continuing below Curvy  The station is really starting to take shape    It's gonna be awesome to see trains flying overhead in all directions  Nice Curves!!   And lots of them!    Twisty stuff all over the place   More of the station  The rest of the area is, well, not done. Crossing our fingers they don't leave it like this.   There were supposed to be a lot more planters than two.  Launch and electrical stuff.    Some were expecting testing to start tomorrow, don't see that happening, but it should happen very soon.      Twin Charged Tacos is open!!  Street Tacos and Sopes.  Would have greatly preferred more Coke Freestyle.  But it looks quite nice inside.  The restrooms are also open, very nice but no pics inside. Because that's just creepy.  An overhead view from Samurai Summit.   This is as far as you can get for now.    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?  Merch already available in the stores.  Including, Christmas Poop Hats? I mean, what did you eat!?!?! The globes are back in Metropolis.   Lots of lights strung up for Rockin' Universe.  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.  Some Fright Fest props are still waiting to get put away for the winter.   Superman (and Lex Luthor) are currently closed.  More Fright Fest stuff lingering. They should do a "dark Christmas" theme in this area. =)   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!! Related Videos:

 Today we continue our look at Holiday Events for 2018 at Holiday In The Park at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Just a few short weeks after the fogs and screams of Fright Fest we are greeted with snow and lights as far as the eye can see. This years event has two new area's and lots of great food to try when their Taste of the Holidays food festival begins on December 15th. We will definitely be back for that!! Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Holiday In The Park!!  Our first stop was to the Metro Park Pub to check out some of the food coming for Taste of the Holidays!! First up was this turkey wrap thing, which I loved!  Who doesn't like some ribs?  Both the Slider and Cherry Pie Nachos were fantastic
After stuffing our faces for a bit, we headed out to the all new area in the park, Merry Lane. (Don't worry, more food pics are below)  We absolutely LOVED this new area, some great photo ops and snow!!   We've already pitched the idea that they should bring these back for Fright Fest next year, but have them be Jack O' Lanterns.   You can even go inside some of the bulbs!!   Don't miss our Holiday In The Park Video!! SNOW!!!  It's nice to see them using the lighting on Justice League to fit the area.  We also headed over to one of our favorites, Rockin' Universe. This was seriously the only pic we took, but we have lots of video of the area above.  Another one of our favorite area's. So different, and that's amazing.    Giant walking Candy Cane!!   Santa's Cottage has moved from up near Tatsu to down by Bugs Bunny World. A much better location. The next two pics show how a photo is made!! Lol.   Send a letter to Santa!!  Mrs. Claus will make sure all of your letters get delivered on time.  Full Throttle Nights are back!!   The front of the park always looks spectacular for the holidays     Here's our Construction Update!! =)  Always one of our favorite area's of the park     Oh, we promised you some more food pics didn't we!! Root Beer Cake!!!  Some kind of pudding thing with a cookie thing on the bottom  It was yummy  More of the great food coming to Taste of the Holidays including a Guinness Sloppy Joe and a Prosciutto Mac and Cheese!!
Rice Pudding and Elote!!  Last and most definitely not least, we wanted to share this little guy.  When you go to the park make sure to buy one of these for only $12.99. For each one purchased the park will donate one to CHiPS for Kids!!  When you purchase one, be sure to share to your social media and tag us!! Everybody who shares a pic with their Furry Friend will get something from IAAPA!! We hope you enjoyed our look at Holiday in the Park and are making plans to visit. We will most definitely be back!!

 Last weekend we were invited out to Six Flags Magic Mountain for another amazing hear of Holiday In the Park. Kind of weird to think that just a few years ago there were practically no decorations at this park and it has turned into such a holiday classic event. Written by Gregg Condon The lights are about to come on!!  Ready?   Let there be light!!  While waiting for it to get a bit darker outside, we suggest checking out Kwerkmas!!  
It's a really fun show!!  And when you get out, it's totally dark and the lights are amazing!!   This year they have a Fire + Ice Pub at Metro Park with a lot of really amazing food including Lobster Mac and Cheese which was AMAZING!!    DC Universe is as always a lot of fun   Amazing lights everywhere    Great photo op at the front of the park  As you can see it was a bit crowded. But holiday fun was being had by all.    Be sure to check out Holiday in the Park 2017. It's a hoot!!!  Related Updates:
