Oh snap.

That long-rumored Samurai Summit refresh finally coming to fruition? I also take this as a sign that Ninja’s days are VERY numbered.

Or they just close the pathway and leave it abandoned. That said… turn that Superman: The Escape into a DC-themed brewery with hilltop views of the park and we’ve got something cooking.

yeah, they could close this after sunmer

Most likely the house isn’t returning in that area. So would not surprise if they close the area to save money after summer or early next year

Then 10 years later do a Phantom’s Spire kind of ride on the Superman man tower.

I still look back at this whoopsie post from a few years ago. And still believe this was not posted in error

I also wonder if this samurai summit overhaul gets announced along side the 2027 coaster.

Not gonna lie, as someone who spent a lot, lot, lot of time at the park growing up in the '90s (my first-ever coaster was Revolution), the day(s) Ninja and Gold Rusher go away will be a huge bummer, just like Log Jammer and Tidal Wave were. I have so much nostalgia for both rides, and even if they make way for stuff that's better, I'll still miss 'em because they were part of what defined "my" childhood era of the park, one of being excited for the Batman stunt show or feeding the goats at Critter Canyon or being terrified of Freefall or wondering why Flashback was always so damn loud.

Conversely, Viper could close and I'd actually breathe a sigh of relief.

Closing Gold Rusher would really, really stink. It's one of the most charming rides in the entire park and a rare coaster at Magic Mountain that is very accessible to a lot of guests. I get it, I'm sure it's well past its expiration date, but... bleh.

My response to this rumor with one word:

Ooooooooof

 

[Jerroddragon]

I mean I think both ninja and gold rusher going would be bad

There isn’t enough for families to do and we just took 3 kids kids rides for looney tunes land

Like I get it the park is mostly for teens and thrill seekers but having two less family coasters with no replacements for years also doesn’t feel like a good move

Completely agree with all of this.

Magic Mountain is going to be the big thrills park. The old guard tried to change that years ago and failed. Don’t know why they think adding a family coaster is gonna change that.

I really figured their MO would be to focus SFMM on being the thrill park and Knott’s being the family thrills park. You would think that would make sense with both parks being close-ish proximity to each other.

I mean, SFMM doesn’t need more thrill coasters, but it would be nice to have at least the mega coaster we’ve been wanting. You would think after F&F they would at least try to add one more big thrill coaster to stand out.
