It was the first coaster I could muster up enough guts to ride, and only after I saw the Griswalds go on it. I thought they'd changed the name IRL from WW to Six Flags.


First time we went, we had to stop off for directions and someone spray painted HONKY LIPS on the side of the station wagon.

I went last Wednesday. It was fairly crowded before lunch but empty afterward for some reason. No line at all for Goliath. Went on X3 three times.

The current scariest ride there, in my opinion, is Lex Luther's Drop of Doom. Jesus.

Looks like it'll be ready early next year. Combines the best of both worlds.

I was coerced into getting on that thing. When I got off I could hardly walk I was so nervous. I had to play it off for my girlfriend but I wanted to do something bad to her for shaming me into getting on that ride. My butt hole puckered just watching that video. I never rode it again.

Twisted Colossus is the best coaster I've ever been on, no kidding. Did not expect 10/10 fun

about time, Goliath has long made this coaster obsolete as a taller, faster, more thrilling version

Damn, after watching a POV video for Twisted Colossus, I should have waited in line, although X2 was amazing. I hadn't been to Magic Mountain since Goliath opened, so it was great just getting to finally ride X2 and it was well worth the wait.

Twisted Colossus was dope. Was there last weekend, I really enjoyed it. Was really unfortunate that Goliath was down that day though, as that's my personal favorite ride.

I was there on Monday, the 15th, but we basically had to choose between waiting in line for X2 or Twisted Colossus, so we chose X2. We got fast pass, which was eligible for a lot of the other rides and we had a relative that had never even been on Batman before. Overall, had a great time, but Goliath was down when we went as well.

I wonder what's going on with Goliath. I hope that's resolved, I may be back down there this weekend (I bought that season pass because I figured why the hell not) And I was there on the 20th, was hot as hell. A lot of people going to Hurricane Harbor, made me wonder how much Six Flags is paying for the water usage with the drought going on and all.

How much is the flash pass? How many uses do you get for it?

Its only next to the parking lot....the one ride that takes up most of the space before you enter the park.


I think he means the actual entrance to get on the ride...

It's been over 15 years since I last went to MM but if my memory serves me, the entrance was obscure to say the least. You'd literally walk right past it if you weren't looking directly for it lol... Same goes for Ninja (However, I'm not sure if that coaster is still around today. Believe someone died on it a few years back).

40 bux for fast pass, excluding x2, colossus, and I can't remember what else. Totally worth it, even though it wasn't crazy crowded.
