The New Revolution Opening Day at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Picture
Today was the grand re-opening for The New Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Even though it's been open for passholders for awhile now today was the first "public" opening and Six Flags held a brief ribbon cutting ceremony. 

​We'll also take a look at the 2017 project and new waterslides for Hurricane Harbor. 

Welcome to Magic Mountain on a beautiful spring day. 
Picture
A small stage was set up just in front of the loop, that you can actually see now. So awesome!! 
Picture
The first riders were members of the local JROTC. 
Picture
Nice decorations on the stage. 
Picture
Bonnie, the parks manager takes the stage to make a few remarks. No 2017 hints however. =) 
Picture
The mayor and mayor pro tem of Santa Clarita also made a few remarks.

After a short ceremony it was time to cut the ribbon and release the kracken ... errr, confetti.

As well as some nice low level pyro

Some of the Six Flags team that made it all happen

Over in front of the ride some nice balloons were set up in the entry area. 
Picture
The line just prior to opening. After the ceremony they had to remove all the pyro so there was a bit of a delay. 
Picture
Might be hard to see, but even the queue rope is red white and blue rather than the typical yellow. Nice touch that honestly, 5-6 years ago you wouldn't have seen at SFMM. So kudos on that!! 
Picture
So the ride is officially open, we took 2 rides once it opened and experienced minimal stacking (maybe 30 seconds at most) and from what we could tell this was due to 1 or 2 people having issues with the headsets. 

So while it didn't seem today that the VR was causing delays the real test is going to be over the weekend and if they keep the staffing up for the ride.

​If you are going to the park this weekend be sure to be patient, get to the ride early, but most importantly, reach out to us and send us pictures and updates on operations. ;) 

Decided to head to the back of the park and look at where the 2017 project is going. They've added some fences around the area ... hope we aren't to blame for this. =)

But if you are going to use a nearby vending machine you can still get a peek inside. =)

Lastly, more slide pieces have shown up onsite and should be moving into the waterpark soon we'd imagine.

Alright, that's going to wrap it up for our New Revolution coverage, not quite as extensive as Twisted Colossus last year but we are so happy to have this classic ride back the way God, er, Anton intended. 

If you want to ride Revolution with NO LINES be sure you register for our event coming up on June 5. We'll have ERT on The New Revolution, Backstage tours, Food and more. Click the picture below for all the details.
