Holiday in the Park and West Coast Racers update - December 10, 2019

Picture
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.

West Coast Racers Update (Six Flags Magic Mountain) - November 10, 2019

Picture
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!! 
Picture
Hey Tatsu, we see you hiding back there. 
Picture
DE-NIED!! Well, hope you enjoyed the update!!! 

Actually, the area was closed while Apocalypse was still testing. We had to come back later. 
Picture
Sling Shot is open as well 
Picture
Ready to head Underground? 
Picture
Video update and pics continuing below
Curvy
Picture
The station is really starting to take shape
Picture
Picture
Picture
It's gonna be awesome to see trains flying overhead in all directions
Picture
Nice Curves!! 
Picture
Picture
And lots of them! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Twisty stuff all over the place
Picture
Picture
More of the station
Picture
The rest of the area is, well, not done. Crossing our fingers they don't leave it like this. 
Picture
Picture
There were supposed to be a lot more planters than two. 
Picture
Launch and electrical stuff. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some were expecting testing to start tomorrow, don't see that happening, but it should happen very soon. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Twin Charged Tacos is open!!
Picture
Street Tacos and Sopes. 
Picture
Would have greatly preferred more Coke Freestyle. 
Picture
But it looks quite nice inside. 
Picture
The restrooms are also open, very nice but no pics inside. Because that's just creepy. 
Picture
An overhead view from Samurai Summit. 
Picture
Picture
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? 
Picture
Merch already available in the stores. 
Picture
Including, Christmas Poop Hats? I mean, what did you eat!?!?! 
The globes are back in Metropolis. 
Picture
Picture
Lots of lights strung up for Rockin' Universe. 
Picture

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. 
Picture
Some Fright Fest props are still waiting to get put away for the winter. 
Picture
Picture
Superman (and Lex Luthor) are currently closed. 
Picture
More Fright Fest stuff lingering. They should do a "dark Christmas" theme in this area. =) 
Picture
Picture
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!!

Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain - October 4, 2019

Picture
This past Friday night we headed back to Six Flags Magic Mountain for another round of scares at Fright Fest. After an opening night that was well over 100 degrees and packed, it was nice to visit on a Friday Night and have it be in the low 70s and VERY manageable crowds. We definitely recommend it. Let's head in!! 

Written by Gregg Condon
Took the good camera, only about 20% of the pics actually turned out which is pretty typical for a Halloween event. =) 
Picture
And so she walked out of our lives forever ... 

(the "Temporary closed" sign was gone as well)
Picture
We arrived at the park just in time to take in "Unleashed". 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Here they come ... 
Picture
These 3 pictures show the art of the scare slide. Despite being a bit blurry I love these pics. 

​(click for larger version) 
Where we would spend most of our night, but more on that later. 
Picture
We first started off with the mazes and Vault 666 which I didn't experience on opening night. 

Now in it's 5th (I think) year, this was easily the best year for this maze so far. Other than some of the props and the path, this maze seemed entirely new. Gone is the "animals and human hybrid" theme and it's taken on a whole new life. 
Picture
Condamned was also really great, it just seems really quiet in there this year for some reason. 
Picture
I try to get this shot every year, and it never works out. 

Red's was fun as always, but would love to see some changes to this one next year. Or an entirely new maze. 
Picture
Music and stuff happens here 
Picture
Exile Hill

We did both Willoughby's and Sewer of Souls. It's definitely time for another re-theme for Willoughby's. It's still fun and the talent in here is great as always. I'd love to see the Willoughby's story continue, but a fully re-imagined maze is definitely needed here for next year. 

Sewer of Souls was great again, we did it once with the 3D and once without. Great both times. 
Picture
Aftermath, fun as always. 
Picture
Picture
The sign for the Underground is done
Picture
Looked like the track for West Coast Racers was completed, no station yet. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
One of our absolute favorite scare zones
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We also got some more story time with Lorraine Lurane. One of our absolute favorite characters at any Halloween event. Definitely not to be missed. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Foggy revolution 
Picture
Hey Riddlers!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Headed back in to City Under Siege. 
Picture
We could seriously just stay here all night and be happy. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Looking for his next victim
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Tag Team
Picture
No need to fight guys, plenty of teenagers to scare
Picture
Picture
Did a GIF of all of these shots but wanted to post them individually as well. 
For some reason, 99% of the shots I took in Terrortory Twisted didn't turn out. 
Picture
Picture
So long SFMM, until next time. 

We're going to make it a point to go later in the evening one night just to see the Slider Show, so stay tuned for that.
