6 Flags

[Mr Orlando]

Has anyone been to 6 Flags Magic Mountins theme park in north hollywood/ LA
Is it worth going?

[Welcome-to-Hollywood!!]

no-one here has been but if you want to know about Universal Studios - Hollywood, Disneyland California Resort Theme Parks, the New Southern California Citypass, Las Vegas AND the Grand Canyon, we can tell you AND sell to you, so just ask!

[red kaip]

i went there last year and it`s a great day out BUT the queue`s for the major rides are long

[Unregistered]

6 Flags is ROLLER COASTER Heaven and "X" a 4D Coaster is the BEST ride I have ever been on and i have been on quite a few around the world!!

Queues can be REALLY bad here but i went last time in February and it was Ok.

Again not the glitz and Glamour of a Disney/Universal but makes up for it with the MANY MANY White Knuckle Rides!

[Mr Orlando]

Yeah I went in Aug 04 ( didnt have time to post a reply sooner), had a fantastic time.

Shame X broke down when i was about to get on the ride.

otherwise a rollercoaster fans paradise.

[ROBDUFFILL]

[Mr Orlando]

:D Im going in 2007 and should be great! :D

[ROBDUFFILL]

Try the six flags website, the park in LA is Magic Mountins


Have fun ---- Its a coasterfans paradise

[Double k]

Sound good is there a web site? :confused:

[Mr Orlando]

Yes there is a web site, but dont know what it is, you will have to search the web yourself if you want it, though it may be sixflags.com

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D i will search when im back! :D

[Mr Orlando]

:D i will search when im back! :D

They have so many rollercoasters, its awesome !!!

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D Had a look the other day, they look awesome! :D

[Mr Orlando]

:D Had a look the other day, they look awesome! :D


Its even better when you're there

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D I can imangine, whats the realibility like there? :confused:

[Mr Orlando]

:D I can imangine, whats the realibility like there? :confused:

When i was there 2 rides were closed, why I dont know.

And I got to the New 4D coaster - cant remember the name, i thinks its X or X scream, that broke down when i was nearly about to board - waited an hour and decided to forget it.


The Q's are really long though.

NO single rider lines and no fast pass system - unless you pay for them. $45 for 6 tickets. NOT ALL RIDES TAKE THEM THOUGH

[spencem]

I went there 4 times last year, in Feb they were running an offer where a year pass (Play Pass they called it) was the same price as standard addmision. :) I've still not ridden Superman as it has been closed everyday, but X and Goliath are amazing. The fast passes are worth it to jump the long lines, but as someone else said they don't work on every ride every day. Also if it rains go that day, the locals will stay away completely.
If your in LA for a while Knotts Berry Farm is well worth a visit also www.knotts.com

We have a supplier in LA and I HAD to visit them a couple of times

[Mr Orlando]

cheers spencem, Superman was closed when i went there too

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D Cheers and welcome, i hope they open it, it looks really good! :D

[Mr Orlando]

I was so looking forward to riding it aswell

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D Oh well, when you go back theres always another chance! :D

[Mr Orlando]

Yeah , but watch it be closed when i go back

[jeannie]

i have been to 6 flags magic mountain 5 times i travelled there from anaheim, where disney is. 6 flags has some of the best rollercoasters not as crowded as disney parks and well worth the money. i recommend knotts berry farm the cheapest theme park i have ever went to and plenty to do not as commercial as disney etc and the Q's are not as bad, lots for younger kids. :cool:

[spencem]

When I went to Knotts they were running an offer for half price addmision after 2pm, since they were open until 11 or midnight this was a good deal.
Riding their huge 'woody' in the dark was quite an experiance :eek:
I had a colegue with me who had never been on big coasters, so we went to Knotts Saturday afternoon/evening and then onto Magic Mountain on the Sunday. It was one way to cure his jet-lag :D

[Mr Orlando]

I never went to Knotts, nor did i do Disney at Aniheim.

Just done Magic Mountains and Universal Studios Hollywood

[ROBDUFFILL]

Yeah , but watch it be closed when i go back


hey theres allways a chance!

[Mr Orlando]

Ive heard superman has closed for good! dunno how true it is

[spencem]

I have a friend who lives nearby and he has told me that it will be closed all this year while they do a major overhaul. Again all rumor, but it is still listed on their web site.

[Mr Orlando]

ok cheers spenc thanks for the info

[ROBDUFFILL]

:eek: 1 year, how much is there to be changed? will it re-open for march 07? :eek:

[Mr Orlando]

hopefully it will

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D Good, as thats when im hoping of going! :D

[Mr Orlando]

you will enjoy it

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D Im sure i will! :D

[Mr Orlando]

:D Im sure i will! :D

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D I like the reasurence! :D

[Mr Orlando]

[ROBDUFFILL]

:D Are the queues longer than Florida? :confused:

[Mr Orlando]

[ROBDUFFILL]

:( Oh dear, do they have single rider queues? :D

[Mr Orlando]

:( Oh dear, do they have single rider queues? :D

[ROBDUFFILL]

Okay, im sure its worth it though.

[KillerPenguin]

[Mr Orlando]

whats up then rob

[ROBDUFFILL]

its my son, he isnt getting much better so the wife really needs to stay with him :(

[squidge]

has he not recovered from his operation???

[ROBDUFFILL]

Oh yes, but with his illness he gets very bad stomach ache, and its not really fair to leave him for that amount of time when he is feeling poorly

[squidge]

awwwww, what illness does he have??? if you dont mind me asking??? you dont have to answer me Rob if u think its too personal

[ROBDUFFILL]

he has chron's diesease which is a disease of the gut :( :( :( :(

[sunnygirl]

I have a friend with Crohns. It's really painful at times isn't it. Poor thing. :(

[ROBDUFFILL]

yeah, but im sure he will be fine- i hope! :(

[sunnygirl]

I'm sure he will Rob. My friend's had it since childhood too and although he gets the odd bout, he has less trouble with it now. :)

[ROBDUFFILL]

thats good to hear, thanks! :)

Six Flags Will Recruit Buyers for Six Parks

NEW YORK (Bloomberg News) – Six Flags Inc., the second-largest US theme-park operator, will send out detailed financial information today on six amusement parks it's considering selling to potential buyers, Chief Executive Mark Shapiro said. "Books are going to you-name-it, anybody and everybody," Shapiro said in an interview. "Strategic are involved, financial are involved. There's international involved. There's a great deal of interest." In June, Six Flags announced it was considering selling six parks, including one of its biggest – the Magic Mountain property outside of Los Angeles – as it works to pare debt. Also under review are parks in Seattle; Denver; Houston; Buffalo, N.Y.; and Concord, Calif. The company plans to sell the parks as a package, Shapiro said.
