Alot of places, Short time. Whew!

Its a lil over a week late, but better late then never right. We went to Magic Mountain, Universal, and saw went to see some landmarks Griffin Observatory between August 12th and we left the 16th & I got alot of pictures of them. This trip was better planed for the week after but within one day notice we found out we had to leave a week early so we had to cut some stuff we were originally going to do. So I'll start of with the place with big thrills, Magic Mountain.

Magic Mountain: We got here last on Wednesday and we enjoyed a full day on Friday. We come here about every year and I can say this park is really improving. Didn't see no garbage on the floor at all. Lines weren't long. Had two cars on every ride. Tatsu & Goliath even had three, which made it great because Goliath was a walk on and the front was empty. Only things wrong was Viper being closed just the first day, Terminator had about a 20 minute problem, Terminator's fire while on the ride was already not working as well as the misters in its tunnels, & we did have one rude employee at the lost & found. Nothing hugely wrong though. It was really fun hopefully will be coming back again in the winter.

*Entrance


*Glad they got Valencia Falls running again. =]

* Superman is sometimes more fun to look at than ride. Goes up the tower
about 3/4 of the way.

*Artwork for Goliath & Riddler.

*That pretzle loop on Tatsu never gets old.


*CSI Show: Ill describe it with the word sucked!





* I'll post a couple pictures later today of the new Terminator ride and what my family and I thought of it later, as well as pictures of other places in the park. Thanks for reading =]

It doesn't look that crowded in the SFMM shots. Glad to hear that you had a great time and I'm looking forward to the rest of your report.

However, I have to disagree about Tatsu's pretzel loop. I love the ride and it is my favorite at the park. I've even gone on it 20 times this year (thanks to being a passholder). However the pretzel loop is my least favorite part of the ride, especially if you're in the back row.

Terminator Salvation: The Ride- First thing I noticed that SixFlags made the most themed ride I ever seen them do. I thought the line was pretty nice and looked apocalyptic like they were going for. It was exciting to enter the building for the first time. The lightning inside the ride was cool reminded me of what they used to do for their Batman ride a few years ago. Television screen and wires were almost everywhere. They had I think three terminator robots in the last room before the station. They looked cool I was hoping they were going to do something though. The station fly-through I though was nice. Went by really fast.

The ride itself was okay. I thought it was going to be much better. The ride was really smooth, fast throughout the whole ride, music was a nice plus, and had some nice airtime. It was very short though, the ride didn't really do much after the first turnaround either. The fire and misters weren't working also. It is a fun ride but I wouldn't wait long for it. The little ones will love it though.



*Heres what you see when you first enter the line.

*View of Tatsu and the Sky Tower from the line.

*Shots in the line.








*When you get into the building.









*Nicely lit up sign.



Sorry if this update seems sloppy & rushed. I promised I'd post so more soon and I only got this short time to so it before I get really busy the next few days.
I'll post some more pictures of the park later then I'll post my Universal Update. Thanks!

Thank you.
I can definately get why some wouldn't like the pretzel loop. It is very intense and the G's are crazy. My mom isn't a fan of that part either.
