5/23/2023 Six Flags Magic Mountain Update - Viva La Fiesta, Park Improvements, Ride SPeculation - May 23, 2023It's been awhile since our last full park update from Six Flags Magic Mountain. Since there is nothing under construction at the moment, there really hasn't been much to report on. Fortunately, with the plethora of food festivals and other events the park is holding this year, we're able to bring you some pictures of Viva La Fiesta which is going on at the park select days right now. In addition, there are a couple of park improvement projects going on and I've got some speculation on what I think the next attraction at the park is going to be.  Despite all the buses, it was a quite enjoyable visit to the park.   Viva La Fiesta has taken over the park entry area and other areas of the park.   Lots of great photo ops around Six Flags Plaza.   It was a beautiful spring day at the park.  And the park itself is looking fantastic!   More photo ops in Full Throttle Plaza.   I'm assuming a tribute to Latin singers? I apologize, other than Selena I don't know who the others are.  The DJ Booth from Scream Break is still here for Viva La Fiesta.  Moving over to DC Universe really quick, it looks like they still have some work to do on the dome over the DC Store. I had wondered if they finished it and had to go back and fix something, but nope, even our January update it wasn't done.  Over in the Boardwalk, they're still working on same games in the area.   Still hoping that one day they'll open up this area a bit more so you can see the attractions on the other side of the games.  Speaking of attractions on the other side of the games (see what I did there?). Next time you ride Wonder Woman, take a look at where the Tidal Wave turnaround used to be. There is definitely some work being done, or that has been done. There are also a couple of small earth movers over there.  The park definitely needs more than 2 water rides, neither of which were open during my visit. I think the next attraction for the park will be a Mack Powersplash like Aquaman at SFOT and/or a Splash Battle similar to Penguin at SFDK. Yes, there is room for both.  In fact, I'm going to speculate even further than the parks priority will (and should) be water attractions at both SFMM and Hurricane Harbor for the next 2-3 years. But we'll see! We're going to have a video in a few weeks outlining what we think is coming for all SF parks over the next few years. Stay tuned!  Somebody on Twitter mentioned that Justice League has ditched the 3D, I was hoping to ride but it was closed. I wonder if it's closed to switch to 2D?  Over in The Underground, we've got more Viva La Fiesta food and decorations.  I mentioned on Twitter that they should retheme this entire area to Viva La Fiesta and SFMM actually liked the tweet. Hmm. =)  Some of the food available and the prices. Not too bad.    Moving up towards Tatsu, they are planting an entire row of trees heading up the hill. So many trees have needed to be removed from this area the past few years, it's nice that they are bringing some back.  Roaring Rapids is STILL closed, but we've been told the ride is coming back in 2023. Hopefully soon before the hot summer months.  During a coaster event a few weeks back, the question came up about the Sky Tower, which led to some speculation that the park is looking to bring it back. We've asked at least half-a-dozen times over the years and we always get the same answer. No. It's too cost prohibitive. Don't get your hopes up, but if we're wrong we'll admit it. =)  Revolution is currently running 1 train due to refurb, really would love it if they'd add a 3rd train to the fleet so this popular coaster could always run at least 2.
