Last weekend was also the kick-off of Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain, which happened to fall on one of the hottest days of the year. We also managed to get some construction pics of West Coast Racers and take a ride on the newly reopened Apocalypse. 

​Let's head in for some fun. 

Demon's Door, where you can get your mazes passes as well. 

​I think we saw more maze purchase locations this year than any other year, which is a good thing. 

Some West Coast Racers pics and video, the track looks to be mostly done, the station is getting some work and the buildings are getting some nice paint. Hopefully testing will be starting soon. 

This video also features some of the updated queue for Apocalypse. 

New fence, no lookie for you!! 

The Preview Center was also closed

Sadly we didn't know at this time that Apocalypse was open otherwise we would have gotten some pics and video from the other side. Next time!! 

Oh, and I know that some people thought we didn't know what we were talking about a few weeks back when we said deconstruction of Green Lantern would begin soon ... 

This sign has been up here for awhile, but it's funny now. =) 

The park set up a nice media reception with snacks, drinks and more. 

Time to get unleashed 

It was CROWDED!!

The coffin challenge was still going strong, despite the heat

Nap time 

Apocalypse was back open, it wasn't "2009 good", but it was really good and a definite improvement. 

The queue got some nice new upgrades

Aftermath 2 was back, I actually got taken on a different path than I've been on before (as you'll see in the video)

Willoughby's is also back, with a couple of new effects

One of our favorite scare zones at any park. 

One tip for visitors: Please don't turn on your phone flashlights in scarezones, especially THIS scare zone. You're ruining it. 

CondAmned was back with a slightly different name change.

Poison Ivy Toxic Twister sends 36 riders swirling on a dizzying journey, featuring:

JACKSON, N.J. ─ August 29, 2019 ─ On the edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Six Flags Great Adventure, the World’s Ultimate Thrill Park, today announced that a menacing coaster of legendary proportions—the tallest, fastest and longest single rail coaster--Jersey Devil Coaster, will make its world debut in 2020. Towering 13 stories, at speeds up to 58 mph, riders will soar 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 two 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 even places this beast near the theme park’s Great Lake, with its menacing, curled horns manifesting under a full moon. 
“Six Flags Great Adventure is home to the best and most innovative roller coasters on the planet, and we are thrilled to expand our unrivaled collection with the Jersey Devil Coaster,” said Park President John Winkler. “Jersey Devil folklore has been a source of fear and intrigue here in the Pine Barrens for more than 200 years, and this iconic piece of New Jersey history inspired the design for this monstrous scream machine.”

Key features of the Jersey Devil Coaster include:

• Four sleek trains of 12 passengers each sitting low and inline style (one rider per row) with their legs straddling either side of the monorail track;
• 3,000 feet of soaring, single-rail, I-beam track;
• Tension-building ascent up a towering, 130-foot lift hill;
• Flying at speeds up to 58 mph;
• Three intense elements including a steep 87-degree first drop, raven dive and overbank cutback; and
• Two dramatic inversions including a 180-degree stall and zero-gravity roll.

Riders must meet the 48-inch height requirement. Jersey Devil Coaster will debut in the summer of 2020. It will be located along the lakefront near Safari Kids and Congo Rapids.
