Leap-Day Throwback Thursday: Last Day for Log Jammer and Full Throttle Hard Hat Tour

Since we don't really have much going on at Six Flags Magic Mountain right now, we figured we'd have a special Leap Day Throwback Thursday and take a look back at the front area of the park, which used to be home to the classic flume Log Jammer and is now home to Full Throttle. 

In this update we've got some pics of the last day for Log Jammer, and a hard hat tour we got of Full Throttle on February 27, 2013. The coaster would open on June 22, 2013. 

We'll start off with a look at Log Jammer, which closed on October 31, 2011. Sadly it was not announced by the park but we happened to catch wind of it. Thankfully we were able to reach out to the parks PR department and request permission to take some on-ride pics for our last rides. We are thankful that parks have gotten better with announcing ride closures so fans can get their last rides in. 

​Unfortunately at the time, we did not have video equipment to get an on-ride POV. 
Picture
This building still exists, but with work going on nearby, wonder for how much longer.
Picture
The tree is long gone, we hope that sign still exists somewhere.
Picture
Still wish they could have found a way to make Log Jammer and Full Throttle co-exist
Picture
Picture
Picture
Did you know: Log Jammer was the most expensive ride to run at the park?
Picture
For you control panel nerds. You know who you are.
Picture
But it's so fun!!

​Check out some on-ride pics in the slideshow below

Picture
Picture
Who thinks these Water Blasters could have still been used for Full Throttle?
Picture
Picture
Really miss this ride.

Picture
Fast forward a bit over a year later to February of 2013, and we were on-site for a hard hat tour for Full Throttle!
Picture
This building is also still here, although it is no longer an arcade, but a quick service restaurant.
Picture
Our old friend Tim telling us where stuff is gonna go.
Picture
You can kind of see where Full Throttle ended up.
Picture
Footers, Footers ...
Picture
The tour that day was for the first pieces of track being installed for Full Throttle.
Picture
Picture
Flying Track!
Picture
Sitting Track
Picture
Track laying down outside the parking lot
Picture
We also got a peek at the new buses
Picture
Picture
So clean! We hope you enjoyed this look back on Log Jammer and Full Throttle!

Holiday In The Park 2023 at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Last weekend we were invited out to Six Flags Magic Mountain for one of our favorite holiday events, Holiday at the Park. Even though it was our Anniversary we wanted to make sure we took the time to visit for a few hours and enjoy the park, and we're very glad we did. 

​Let's head in for some holiday fun! 
Picture
Picture
Before we get to the holiday fun though, a look at the updated front entrance where all of the ticket booths have been removed other than the ones on each side.
Picture
It definitely opens up this area and it will be interesting to see if they open it up more in the weeks and months to come. We definitely wouldn't be mad if they made the entry plaza after security bigger to accommodate the crowds during the summer for both Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor.
Picture
Iconic Park Entry!
Picture
Also wanted to take a possible last look at the Golden Bear Theater, which is slated for demolition soon.
Picture
Saw so many great shows in here. Weird Al. Jars of Clay. Okay, so like two.
Picture
But there were a lot of iconic shows here over the years including Oingo Boingo, New Kids on the Block. Jonas Brothers, Spinal Tap (with puppets).

Could this be the last event displayed on this iconic sign?
Picture
We also had a new video last week where we detailed what we could see in this spot, and also Knott's Camp Snoopy changes. Check it out below!
Picture
Alright, let's get into the Holiday fun! Santa and Mrs. Claus wished us a happy anniversary!
Picture
I think there are 2 days of Hanukkah left?
Picture
Did you know all of the holiday characters come out from backstage here like the monsters in Fright Fest? We didn't. It was very cool, wish we would have known so we could get video.
Picture
Severe lack of sliders, but still incredible! Plus, snow!
Picture
Picture
Heading over to get our Gleampunk on!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Would it be a holiday event with no hot chocolate? You can even enhance it with some awesome flavorings!
Picture
Picture
Picture
The decorations back here seemed a bit lacking this year, but the playlist is amazing!

We recreated the playlist on Spotify when this area debuted, and Apple Music this year.
You can play it below! 


Picture
The bus is back!!
Picture
I have to admit, this is one of my favorite holiday area's of any park.
Picture
Picture
Picture
We end our visit back in the front of the park, with some incredible lights.
Picture
Picture
Even a bit of haunt fog to enjoy!
Picture
Picture
Thanks again for having us out SFMM!
