Six Flags
- Published on
We decided to head up to Six Flags Magic Mountain the other day to take advantage of the offseason weekday crowds, and as you'll see below, this is the absolute best time of year to go to the park.
But before that, let's take a look at Project 2017 and see what's doing.

We're going to start off with Tidal Wave, which is still not open. Sadly the more we look at this ride the more we fear for it's fate.
For a park that consistently sees many 100 degree days during the summer the more water rides the better. Two water rides is simply not enough for this park.
Looking inside the station, it kind of appears that the queue line has been taken out, let's hope not though.
Moving over to where we assume the new ride(s) are going you can see a lot of space here, more than what they need for what is rumored to go here. Which could make for a very interesting 2017.
As you can see, large green fences now surround the entire area.
But if you know where to go you can still see in.
Once construction starts it's going to be pretty obvious what's coming.
The only question is, will it be obvious before the new ride announcements are made in late August/early September.
Moving on, it appears a couple of the Jet Stream boats got some TLC. Unfortunately we didn't get to ride as the ride is STILL opening up at least an hour after the park on a daily basis. Along with Roaring Rapids.
But as you can see, the "refurb" appears to be entirely cosmetic.
Moving over to Ninja, more trees have been trimmed. Not sure if this is because they were going bad or for something else, but it's very open back here now.
She does look beautiful.
If you were following along on our social media during our visit you'll know we were posting pictures about a nearly empty park.
Every ride was pretty much a walk-on.
You know the park isn't very busy when even Tatsu's line is this short.
One ride that didn't have a short line was The New Revolution.
From what we could tell this wasn't just an issue of the VR, although it didn't help. Because people are concentrating so much on the VR and getting their headsets done they are forgetting the most basic of amusement park rules regarding loose articles. etc. So it's kind of a perfect storm of crap.
It's going to be interesting to see if the slower operations impact the life of the VR portion of the ride.

Tip: But ... if you want to use the Single Rider line and be split up, it's still available.
Also, if you don't care about doing the VR remember that the front row is a non-VR row so by using the single rider line you will pretty much be instantly placed in the front row of the ride.
Also also, remember, during ERT of Mountain Madness 2.0 you won't have any of these line issues. =)

If you can get up to the park during the week over the next couple of weeks you're pretty much guaranteed to have light crowds ... but don't blame us if some random school group shows up. ;)
Grad Night's are coming ...
Allegra isn't my allergy medicine, but I'd probably switch after seeing these ad's.
Lastly, the new slides for Hurricane Harbor are still sitting in front of Colossus.
Considering the waterpark opens next week not sure if these new slides will be open with the park. But they shouldn't take long to install.
Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. Our next SFMM update is probably going to be for Mountain Madness with all of the awesome fun, tours and more. So be sure you are there so you can see it in person!!!
