Cruis'n The Park Car Show at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Yesterday we drove out to Magic Mountain to check out the Cruis’n The Park Car Show put on by West Coast Customs.

I remember as a kid going to car shows at Kevin’s Burgers in the San Fernando Valley and this brought back a lot of those vibes. It’s great fun if you’re a car lover or just want to drive through the park again.

We chose to go during the day since we’d already driven through the park at night for holiday in the park.

Enjoy!

Check out video of the event, pics are down below.

Yes the green lantern station is still there. Hopefully we will learn what’s going on here soon.
Picture
Sweet ride.
Picture
Picture
Disco theme. At the “car wash”. Part of the reason we replaced all the music in our video.
Picture
Picture
Picture
I think the cars in the boardwalk area were my favorite

Nice car to drive around on your “day off”. (See what I did there?)
Picture
Picture
That’s a lot of work to put into that car. But you do you bro.
Picture
Low ride er
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
These are some pimped out rides for sure

It was so great seeing West Coast Racers testing.
Picture
Really like this shot
Picture
And this one
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Revolution was testing too. ❤️
Picture
I tried to refrain myself from making jokes about the large trucks.
Picture
Picture
I think we can all agree that Tweety has the best car
Picture
Picture
A couple more of my favorite shots
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Raggy?
Picture
That’s a bit extreme.
Picture
We like to party! Still waiting for this to show up in the “bus parking” area of The Underground.
The Cruis'n the park car show runs weekends through March 14th. You can see all of the details here.

Holiday In The Park Drive-Thru Experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain

11/25/2020

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!

Hi X2 ... hope we get to ride you soon! 
Picture
The entrance to the park, we aren't going in this way. 
Picture
Remember, you must have a reservation to drive through the park! 
Picture
You start off going through the employee entrance. 
Picture
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. 
Picture
Picture
Let's head in for some holiday fun! 
Picture
Picture
You start off in Rockin' Universe! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
And them move through the Boardwalk. CraZanity was running, and I really did want to jump out for a ride! 
Picture
Picture
Merry Lane looking as festive as ever! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
A few things in The Underground, and some cool cars! 
Picture
Picture
All of the performers were great, distanced and wearing masks! 
Picture
These LED lights need to stay on the Ninja supports! Who's with me!?!? 
Picture
Picture
Always loved this area of the park during the holidays 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some new characters on the hill heading towards Viper 
Picture
Chances that these penguins are from Astroworld and have been sitting in storage for 16 years? =) 
Picture
Picture
Picture
You really do drive through the entire park (except Samurai Summit) 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Hi Sylvester!!! We miss you!!! 
Picture
Our favorite Mrs. Claus. Hope her and her sister Lurane, Lorraine are doing well. =) 
Picture
Likewise, hope these LED lights on Goliath remain. 
Picture
Somebody had some fun as Lex Luthor is indeed Jewish (it's canon, we checked) 
Picture
Steampunk Christmas!! 
Picture
Picture
SANTA! I know him!! 
Picture
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.

Happy Friday everybody and welcome to another update from Six Flags Magic Mountain. 

It's been a couple of weeks since our last update, but there is now DEFINITELY something going on around Tidal Wave. So let's head in and take a look at what it can be. 

Written by Gregg Condon
Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain!

Got a new phone this week so took some pics around the park to break it in a bit. So far I'm very happy with my iPhone 11 Pro. Can't wait to check it out during Haunt Season. 
Picture
Old Glory flapping in the wind 
Picture
I rode 3 different Premiere coasters at 2 different parks. Just because I could. =) 
Picture
Screampunk District is still looking great! 
Picture
Picture
We've got our update in video mode as well!! 
Looks like some plumbing work going on in DC Universe 
Picture
Picture
According to this, Tidal Wave will reopen at some point this year. Will it be it's last? 
Picture
Some trimming has been going on in this area 
Picture
Picture
I had never noticed that dividing wall there, but I don't usually wear my glasses in the park, so it could have always been there. =) 
Picture
Definitely something going on over here
Picture
Picture
Some markers, this one is C-8
Picture
And just a few feet away, C-9
Picture
Picture
Picture
Does somebody not know what a Telephone is? 
Picture
Something was torn up near the Metropolis restrooms 
Picture
These are new, nice that they are there! 
Picture
Picture
Alrighty, that's gonna wrap it up. We'll have an update from Universal Studios Hollywood up sometime tomorrow. 

As always, thanks for reading and watching!

Six Flags Magic Mountain Update - February 3, 2020

Happy Monday Park Journey Readers, we hope you had a fantastic weekend. Of if you're a 49ers fan like me, hope you're doing ok this morning (I am, thanks for asking). 

Today we have an update from Six Flags Magic Mountain where we check out the rumored 2021 attraction location. We also finally have our last look at The Underground as the Speed Store is now officially open and the area appears to be completed. Let's head in for some fun! 

Written by Gregg Condon
It was a beautiful day at the park.

My normal plan was to come for a couple of hours to take my mind off the game, but as an added bonus, my friend Chris was making his first ever visit to the park. So it was nice to join in with Chris and his friend Blake for a bit and ride some rides!! I will also add, it's always nice to see parks through fresh eyes. We get kind of jaded on our own parks, but it's cool to see them through somebody who's never been. 
Picture
After a quick ride on Full Throttle and Goliath, I noticed they have a queue now for the Fish & Chips. I'm sure they've been here for awhile, but honestly, with West Coast Racers I don't think I've actually been to this area of the park since November. 
Picture
Picture
The park was delightfully empty. 
Picture
Last week Screamscape reported a rumor about a possible 2021 attraction replacing Tidal Wave. A Mack Power Splash. But this one would have a loop. 
Picture
So, we figured we'd look to see if we could find anything. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The rumor of Tidal Wave's demise has been going around for at least a decade, but honestly, given the prime real estate and the fact that it's hardly ever open, it may actually be true this time. 
Picture
Picture
We'll definitely keep an eye out over the next few months. If they do build something here, and it's DC themed, hopefully they'll actually connect DC Universe and Metropolis. 
Picture
Heading over to The Underground, it looks like the area is finally complete. 
Picture
The "at Six Flags" is new since media day. 
Picture
As is the sign for the Pacific Speedway. Looks nice. 
Picture
Some cool posters that I forgot to take a closer look at as I was leaving. 
Picture
The Speed Shop wasn't open for us during Media Day, but it was yesterday. 
Picture
Here's a look at all of our videos of The Underground we've taken over the past few months, including a land overview, the Speed Shop from yesterday and even the Candy Shop from the first day it was open last year. 
Some cool looking merchandise. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Not even sure Universal has Fast & Furious merchandise. 
Picture
Cool looking shirt. 
Picture
California Love. 
Picture
Picture
This also wasn't here for Media Day. 
Picture
Have to admit, the crew was really crushing it. Dispatches were very fast. 
Picture
Picture
Alright, that's gonna wrap it up. This is generally the time of year where our Six Flags Magic Mountain Updates ramp up, but since there is no construction going on this year I honestly can't tell you when our next one will be. 

Probably in a month or so unless anything major pops up. 

Thanks for reading as always!!

It's finally here!! 

Well, on Thursday. West Coast Racers is finally opening to the public and we were invited out today to experience Media Day which including getting to the park super early in order to fill some seats for the "big guys". As well as getting a reverse POV, lots of awesome off-ride footage and many, many pictures. 

​Let's head right in for some fun!!

Good Morning from Six Flags Magic Mountain!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
My day started off with sitting on West Coast Racers for about an hour. Not a bad way to start the day. It was pretty chilly!! 
Picture
They've added a LOT more themeing since the previews. The garage looks like, well, a garage now!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
After sitting on the ride I decided to get off and get some sunrise footage of the ride, because let's be honest, sunrise coaster rides are awesome and all too rare. 
Picture
Including a time-lapse of the area and coaster. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some really cool details, even on the turnstile. 
Picture
They've done a really great job with the rest of The Underground. The store wasn't open for us today, we'll do a walk-through next time we're at the park. 
Picture
A walk-through of The Underground and some off-ride footage of the ride. 
54" is pretty appropriate for this ride! 
Picture
Look!! Established 2019!! So there!! =) 
Picture
They've really done a great job plussing The Underground in the past few weeks. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Even the Go Kart loading area looks great! 
Picture
I spliced together two pics for this one, because I think it looks cool. 
Picture
The ride is incredibly photogenic
Picture
We also got some awesome Reverse POV, POV video and Drone Footage!! We love the way this turned out. Shout out to Gabe from Theme Park Duo for riding with me. 
Picture
Picture
And of course, we now have an official POV of the ride!! 
Vroom Vroom 
Picture
Picture
They've also added some Fabrication and Paint department videos 
Picture
Picture
Picture
More photos of the ride in motion 
Picture
Picture
The Mr Six Bus belongs here!! 
Picture
A few more pics of the ride in action
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
So what did I think of the ride? Well, if anything I love it more than I did when we did this review during the previews!! 
Picture
West Coast Racers officially opens this Thursday (January 9th). We won't be there opening day, but if you will be, tag us in your pics and we'll retweet them!!
