Yesterday we were invited up to Six Flags Magic Mountain for another tour of The New Revolution and we got a look at the all new trains and all of the great work they've been doing. 

We also have a fun video of the trains that we posted last night as well as a tour video.

Reminder, our event is coming up at Six Flags Magic Mountain on June 5, you can find all the info here.

For those who like their updates in video form, a full walk-through of our tour including the entire ride area, trains and more. 
So first let's look at the all new sign for The New Revolution. It's back-lit and is going go look amazing at night. 
Picture
Even during the day with the right lighting it really pops. 
Picture
The station has been completely painted and looks fantastic. 
Picture
Something is sitting over on the transfer track. You can also see the entry to the station is much bigger to accommodate the new trains. 
Picture
Let's take some time and check out the trains ... 
Picture
If you missed it, be sure to check out our video of the trains. 
Picture
Nerd shot!!! 
Picture
The front of the train is not on yet, but it'd be fun to ride it like this too. 
Picture
Picture
The restraint mechanism. 

And while there isn't an "ankle restraint" you can see to the right there is a bar there. 
Picture
The trains have headrests unlike the original trains. Which means the ride can actually run backwards.

A look back at the station, just a little bit of work still to do.

We also got to check out the new VR headsets, they were really cool and well done.

There will be about 200 headsets which means 40 will be in use for the new riders, 40 for those being loaded and 120 being cleaned or charging. 

These are totally optional but are definitely worth checking out once. 
Picture
The ADA queue is finished for the most part. 
Picture
Lots of little paths that are presumably for getting up and landscaping the area.

Getting ready to put the new sign up
Picture
We also got a preview of Chop Six which was really good. Lots of "Americanized Chinese" food like Orange Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, a really tasty Tofu vegetarian dish and some WonTon Taco's. 
Picture
If you have a Season Dining Pass you can get a sneak peek of ChopSix this weekend!! 
Picture
Picture
A look inside the new Six Flags Emporium. Lots of great work going on inside. 
Picture
The Grand Carousel continues to get a lot of work done, all of the diagrams are being re-done. 
Picture
Picture
Plaza Cafe is still getting work done. 
Picture
We got to try one of the new Funnel Cakes at the "World Famous Funnel Cake Factory". 
Picture
The Berry Revolutionary Funnel Cake ... 
Picture
Red Velvet Funnel Cake, Raspberries, Blueberries, Whipped Cream,

We hope you enjoyed this look at The New Revolution. 

Some important notes regarding the opening of the ride: 
  • Season Pass Previews begin on March 26
  • You must reserve a time to ride, which you can do here
  • The reason for this is because the 2nd train is not ready until the end of April
  • The public opening will be announced at a later time
  • The VR Headsets are completely optional and will be available beginning on March 26 as well
