Reminder, SFMM will be having a panel at Midsummer Scream's Awaken The Spirits this Sunday to talk about Fright Fest. Be sure you're subscribed to our YouTube Channel as we'll be live-streaming. Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain! It was actually a pleasant morning, rare for early August!  Ready to make the run to Flash Pass  Representing Canada with Devin Townsend and Hockey Hall of Fame hat. In honor of my future daughter in-law.  Morning Bugs!  There needs to be a better way to do Flash Passes in the morning. Check out the video update for some thoughts!  For some reason I thought this was different when The Underground first opened. But nope, been this way the entire time. Nothing to see here. =)  Finally got to ride Jet Stream!  And Ninja!  Oh yeah, you probably want to see Construction stuff!  Lots of holes being dug for something, or nothing.  There is no new coaster. Only Zuul.  Poor lonely cone.  Green Lantern is now invisible.   Please say there is a walkway over here somewhere. =)  Hi Teen Titans Pizza.  Had my best ride on TC EVER.  If you have rainbow poop, call your doctor  There seemed to be new sound effects on the train. Check out the update video to hear it!  Hi SFMM. If you could sell these posters in the park that would be great!  Signature shot Related Videos

Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger Roller Coaster Premiering at Six Flags Fiesta Texas Summer 20227/29/2021
Park Will Debut World’s Steepest Dive Coaster During Its 30th Anniversary Season  SAN ANTONIO, Texas — July 28, 2021 — Six Flags Fiesta Texas, The Thrill Capital of South Texas, today unveiled plans to debut the world’s steepest dive roller coaster--Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger. This exhilarating newdive coaster features a cliffhanger hold, which suspends riders as they face straight down a 95-degree, beyond-vertical drop, then releases them moments later into a terrifying 150-foot dive. “Six Flags Fiesta Texas continues to push the limits of thrill and innovation as we prepare to introduce the world’s steepest dive coaster during our 30th anniversary season,” said Park President Jeffrey Siebert. “Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger joins an already stellar lineup of record breaking roller coasters, rides, and attractions. With eight intense elements including dramatic inversions and extreme airtime, it will quickly become a fan favorite,” added Siebert. As guests enter the ride queue, they will be immersed in the story of Dr. Diabolical and her evil quest to create menacing creatures to frighten the world. To give her creations life, Dr. Diabolical constructed a machine to capture the essence of human adrenaline and fear. Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger features three 21-passenger trains that keep the adrenaline flowing as riders reach a height of 15 stories, then pause face-first before diving at 60 mph and flying through a variety of high-thrill experiences Key features of Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger include:
Riders must meet the 52-inch height requirement. Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger was announced during the FT92 Fan Event, and will debut in the summer of 2022 during the park’s 30th Anniversary season.

Six Flags Great Adventure Announces Opening of Triple World Record-Shattering ‘Jersey Devil Coaster’6/10/2021  World’s Tallest, Fastest, and Longest Single-Rail Coaster to Debut June 13 JACKSON, N.J. ─ June 10, 2021 ─ Six Flags Great Adventure, the World’s Ultimate Thrill Park, today announced that its highly-anticipated Jersey Devil Coaster will preview to press June 10 and debut to the public June 13. Jersey Devil Coaster will rank as the world’s tallest, fastest and longest single rail coaster—towering 13 stories, flying at speeds up to 58 miles-per-hour, and propelling riders single file through the dark and foreboding woods over 3,000 feet of track. Inspired by infamous New Jersey mythology, the cutting-edge coaster will feature five intense elements, including three dramatic inversions. Legend says the Jersey Devil has haunted the Pine Barrens for centuries, soaring stealthily through the woods in the dark of night before attacking its prey. Modern-day folklore places this beast near the theme park’s Great Lake, with its menacing, curled horns manifesting under a full moon. “Jersey Devil folklore has been a source of fear and intrigue here in the Pine Barrens for more than 200 years. We’ll immerse riders in this iconic piece of New Jersey history on our monstrous, new scream machine,” said Park President John Winkler. “Jersey Devil Coaster is the perfect addition to our unrivaled collection of award-winning, innovative, and thrilling roller coasters.” The Jersey Devil Coaster includes the following key features:
With dark, New Jersey folklore at the heart of this new ride, some are questioning whether the ride’s statistics were planned, mere coincidence, or rooted in something more sinister. The Jersey Devil was the cursed 13th child of Mother Leeds
Folklore buffs will enjoy finding the historical “Easter eggs” that Six Flags designers incorporated into the Jersey Devil’s entrance and queue design. Riders must meet the 48-inch height requirement. Jersey Devil Coaster is located along the lakefront near Safari Kids and Congo Rapids. A new Jersey Devil BBQ restaurant is located across from the ride’s entrance. Six Flags Members and Season Pass holders will enjoy an exclusive preview of Jersey Devil Coaster June 11 and 12 prior to the grand opening to the public June 13.

 Happy Tuesday and welcome to another update from Six Flags Magic Mountain! In this update you'll see some more of the deconstruction of Tidal Wave, and also unfortunately the crowds that have descended on the park even though it's still currently only at 35% capacity. In the video below I share some thoughts on this so I won't go into it too much here. Written by Gregg Condon  No more temperature checks at the park!  Security was a breeze as always, love this new system! But park entry was another story.  This was the line to get in at about 2:00pm on Saturday. So much for the reservations and staggered arrivals.  The Membership "skip the line" and Flash Pass lines were quite long as well.   Headed up to Samurai Summit for the first time since reopening. Wonder if we'll be seeing Fright Fest this year.  Through the trees you can see what's left of Tidal Wave  Guessing by this time next week this will be mostly gone   Anybody remember when Riddlers, Tidal Wave AND Freefall were here?   Lamps are being removed as well  Sorry for the pole, but here you can see how much is being removed. Oddly enough, it doesn't look like they've done much removal of the station. Hmm.  They've kept some vegitation and removed some   From the other side you can definitely see how little is left   On the way out, a look at the newly repainted Hurricane Harbor slides. The park seemed pretty empty, anybody been to HH? How have the crowds been?  As I was leaving, they were testing the buses. And having to tell everybody not to walk in the bus route. So things ARE returning to normal. Related Videos
