Six Flags Magic Mountain

A Taylor Swift Themed Coaster would do well

Well....Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey being a big investor for Six Flags was definitely not on my bingo card.

Not a huge Taylor Swift or Chiefs fan, but if it improves the parks, then I say bring it!

Worlds of Fun becomes Taylorwood, Cedar Point becomes Kelcewood lol.

This is good, some people being involved who actually love parks, unlike the Six Flags corporates just trying to make their short-term incentives through cost cutting and run.

I went yesterday

Octoberfest was nice, three live bands and would not mind them doing this again next year

They also had the craft area and trick or treating for kids and some street entertainment like magic and juggling

Fright Fest was packed, I got to the opening show area about 90 mins before it started and most the front row spots were gone.

Margo Rita and Mr Snow were there younger versions in Thunder Bolts ally the first hour of the event and then Mr Snow stayed that way for the rest of the night

In the first Margo Rita show, Margo's son they have been talking about all haunt showed up and he even met guests afterwards with Margo
Margo was also doing a pre show for 20 mins before the performance and it was packed

I skipped Saw, and Vault 666 because of lines and missed Truth or Dare because of time

Carnages wife also was at the end of the house at one point in the night

Carnages maze got a 40-60 min line right after the opening show but I rushed it to get there before the insane crowds

The actors and Actresses are what make this event stand out for me. I love how much freedom they have and honestly its a great event for the price. I think last year had wayyyy more issues and the people at the top for the most part fixed the issues

My only concern is if the place gets more packed lines are going to get insane and.....they need to find a way to get people in mazes quicker when that happens

I also hope with scream break can come back even if its just a show and scarezones with longer hours for a few weeks. Rumors are Cedar Fair does not like scream break because of the drinking but....like come on your company failed stop pushing out good ideas because some upper management person who doesnt know what guest wants is against it

I think with the right budget Scream break would make them a ton of money. Heck they even have some mazes they didn't use this year still set up so why not have the Sewers of Soul come back if you do want a house but dont want it to be something from FF.

But many of the scarezones are perfect for a party setting like Oz, wonderland, the Crows, the clowns and Thunderbolt ally

So here is hoping Scream break comes back because people will come to haunts when its not Halloween time and Six Flags needs a spring event, it feels like a win

I agree that SFMM really stepped up FF this year. While it's not on par with HHN, it's not really trying to be, and instead does it's own thing, and I think is largely successful at it.

I also like that their scareactors have a lot more freedom, and the vocal interactions and character choices make them stand apart from the scareactors at HHN. The latter are experts are the art of the physical scare, but FF scareactors can joke with you, carry on conversations, just be creepy, crawl, slide, or spider walk at you--none of which I see at HHN, which is a bit more one-note in that regard.

Plus, I think their Margo Rita show, while not perfect, mostly hit the right note of funny, light, entertaining, and just the right length. I do wish that since it has a very obvious drag influence, that there were at least a few more actual drag performers in it... hopefully they could work on that next year.

And I didn't miss the mazes that were cut this year at all--although I do wish there was one more haunt thing to do up the hill with Willoughby's. I think it could be interesting if maybe they did an upcharge attraction in the old Sewer of Souls space, maybe their own version of the lights out Zoo from Knott's?

Lanterns also added more entertainment value.
