I saw someone online make a claim that in the last few days more of the area has been cleared by the former theater is this true?

No. Was just there and nothing has changed.

Hearing reports Superman is officially done. Rumor is its server room exploded yesterday after overheating, and knowing SFMM, they will find it easier to replace the attraction over fixing it. Another SFMM SBNO attraction.

Still looking to confirm this, but wow.

That is literally the most Six Flags thing I have heard happen in a long time lol

Well that's a shame. Probably gonna be a few years before we hear any word of a proper replacement. Sad.

Perfect opportunity to modernize the launch system. Something more reliable and that doesn’t have to close for multiple days when it rains lol.

In a moment that could be considered me wondering, SFCorp bought Energylandia's Tilt Coaster. While it is going to SFM, I wonder if with the combined element of the Super Boomerang at Great Adventure, if Vekoma could be tapped on for SFMM's next major coaster.

it did not explode. There was a small brushfire under the ride.

So.. Is superman back up and running?
Its not listed as closed on the Six Flags website. (and it it was really down for a long time you would think it would be listed as closed) right?

Edit: weird that only the whistlestop train is shown as closed on the actual website (for refurbishment) but the app shows more rides closed

Wait...I thought Superman was done forever?

Updated my post, the Website only shows the train down for a refurb, but lists no other rides closed
the app shows a lot more... which is odd.. If Superman was down for a "refurb" as well you would think it would show on the website and the app

It was a bush fire. Judging from the fact that the original post has been deleted, op must of assumed that the bush fire was on the ride area

I had a friend who worked Superman. He said he had to hit the E stop once and the control panel
Caught on fire. I believe it lol

Magic Mountain was my first big coaster park my parents took my to 20+ years ago, went to Superman first because it looked so cool in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 lol.

On the return ride back, shot through the station and came to a stop at the buffer at the very end of the track. Ops came sprinting from the station in a panic asking if anyone had serious injuries right-off-the-bat lol, we we're all fine and all these years later it's still the only ride EVAC story I have. I've also only been on it twice since then, despite semi-annual trips, due to it always being down.

Bamboo racers has been torn out at Hurricane Harbor. Removed from app also.

Dang those racer slides are like a water park staple. Will they replace it with another slide?

Nah... just another churro or pretzel stand, but closed most days. Possibly sponsored by Takis

Probably a more modern version of the slide (from Pro slides?)
I mean it opened in 1997!

Screamscape has shared that Six Flags Over Georgia has implemented Cedar Fair's chaperone policy. It looks like it may be the only Six Flags park that has it so far, but just something to note.

 

[Jerroddragon]

I saw a Six Flags was doing this as well

I mean...going to be honest without Teens....Magic Mountain is dead

Every time I go I see groups of teens with no parents....so yeah if you kick them out it will make MM pretty dam empty

Knotts can do it because families....families are really not coming to MM

While I'm sure SFMM (and basically every park nowadays, even Disney isn't exempt here) has its fights and disruptions here and there, I feel like it's been a long time since anything significant like that has happened at SFMM. The days of it having gang infested riots seem to be in the past. Perhaps the sheriff's substation on site actually works? Do any other parks have one?

This permit was filed for today for grading for the new roller coaster at Magic mountain!
