CraZanity Media Day Update from Six Flags Magic Mountain

Picture
Hello there Park Journey Readers!! Today was finally the day, it was time to get CraZy, and InZane, and enjoy the AweZome new ride at Zix FlagZ Magic Mountain. (sorry, I've been up since 245am) 
Let's check it out!!

The best thing about having to get to Six Flags Magic Mountain at 4am ... well, despite the lack of people and the possibility of seeing a Raccoon is to ride an amazing new ride. And even better, getting to see the awesome lighting package. 
Picture
Let's start off with our Reverse POV on the ride!! 
Picture
You can see the ride and the lighting package from well outside the park

Ever wanted to know how we do Media Days? Cats out of the bag. We use both hands. =)

​The result, our off-ride video below with the amazing lighting package!! ​
Seriously cannot wait to see the lighting package on this during Fright Fest and Holiday In The Park
Picture
The lights underneath were a nice surprise as well.

Typically during media days there's so much going on we don't really get a chance to get a lot of pictures. That was not the case today. So I decided to play with the camera settings a bit. Something about CraZanity made me want to use some of the more vivid settings. 

​You can see some of the results below.

You'd think doing black and white pictures wouldn't do the ride justice. But they still do.

Some more bizarre camera settings because why not

As the sun came out the ride really popped. Again, something about this ride made me want to use different settings than what you get with a normal lens. Hope you agree.

It still looks great with no filters though. =)

Confetti ... 
Picture
A LOT of Confetti!!

A Plethora of Confetti (Confett-eye?)

So how is the ride? This was my first of the giant pendulum's. I think the biggest I'd ridden up to this point is the one at King's Dominion (haven't ridden Wonder Woman at SFDK yet). And I totally loved it. 

The sign of a good ride? No matter how many times you ride it you still get that little twinge of nervousness. And as you can see in our reverse POV, I was still a bit nervous, until it got going. And that was probably my 4th or 5th ride. 

And as soon as the park opened, and they opened the ride, there was a line. The GP was ready to ride and I anticipate the ride being VERY popular. 

This is definitely not an "in between" ride, or something to "take a break" on between extreme coasters. This is as extreme as any other ride in the park, but so much fun. It will be a must ride on every visit to the park for sure!! 

But wait ... there's more!!! Also took a chance to check out Project 2019 Construction since there was nobody at the park. And they are doing a LOT of work. Even since our last update last week.

It looks like Gold Rusher got a new sponsor

And because why not, a few more camera experiment pictures in an empty Metropolis. 
Alright all, that's a wrap on our media day coverage. We hope you enjoyed!!

Now get out there and ride and be sure to share your thoughts on the ride!!! We'd love to know what you think.
