I visited Magic Mountain on Saturday! It was a pretty fun trip to end the 2010 Six Flags season too. Minimal lines, and Christmas stuff! So anyway, this weekend is the annual Toy Drive the park puts on where guests can bring in a gift ($15+) to get free admission. This obviously attracted a lot of people which led to a pretty crowded park that day, but in the morning to a little after lunch there were minimal lines. So, when I got there, it was about 11:00 and most people were still getting there. It looked like everyone just went shopping because of all of their bags and toys! KTLA 5 News was also at the front of the park to help with the collecting also. Since all of the water rides were closed including Log Jammer, we went over to Batman first, then over to Colossus & Scream!, all which didn't have lines at that time. Then it was back Goliath's way where we also noticed Thomas Town was closed (probably for re-branding) and the all-new Pistachio Park across the way was well established but still closed off. Maybe this is a new sitting/ resting area? Oh, and I do have to say Superman looks very nice with the new color scheme. Simply awesome! Can't wait to ride it!! And no, there was no sign of Green Lantern that I saw in both the parking lot or in the area where it will be in.
After that, we headed over to Movie District which is when the crowds started to emerge. The Riddler's Revenge had probably an hour's wait due to single train operation, which is why I used the single rider service. Goldrusher was also pretty busy too. Ninja had one of the longest waits in my visit history at least, with the line stretching out of the queue. Ninja and Riddler's Revenge were the only ones with single train operation by the way. Terminator was down for some reason but reopened short after. Other than that we made a couple rounds aound the park, and rode mostly everything that was open. The plaza was decorated for Christmas with lights, garland, and decorations and we even saw Santa with Mrs. Claus being driven to the plaza stage in a decked out golf cart too. Anyway, it was a great day and a lot was done in the little time the park was open.
