We’re in the home stretch ladies in gentlemen, we really are. The Joker’s construction process has been accelerated dramatically, and there are only one or two elements left to install on the entire ride.

In California we have a myriad of beautiful looking coasters all across the state. The colors a coaster wears can solidify its identity as a ride, make it stand out among an otherwise busy skyline, or just make a coaster look gorgeous. Because we are so fortunate to have so many beautiful coasters, we thought it was a wonderful idea to highlight some of the best looking ones. Let’s take a look at the The 5 Best Coaster Color Schemes in California! Continue reading “The 5 Best Coaster Color Schemes in California”
It was a wonderful day out at Six Flags Magic Mountain, nice Spring weather before the crushing summer heat. Surprisingly the park wasn’t too busy today. The crowds seemed to disappear around 6PM allowing for marathon-rides on several of the park’s bigger coasters. There are several changes around the park, including the new Full Throttle light package, and the new slides that are coming to Hurricane Harbor and all the juicy details surrounding them. Continue reading “Six Flags Magic Mountain Update – March 31st 2016”
As The Joker’s construction progresses, it is becoming more and more clear what the final product will look like.

California is home to a wide variety of different coasters, including about a dozen that feature some form of backwards motion. In the tradition of this series, we will be ranking the top five coasters with excellent backwards sections and elements, not just the coaster as a whole. As a result coasters with a brief or uneventful backwards section may not be included. With that in mind, let’s begin. Continue reading “The 5 Best Coasters in California to go Backwards”

Northern California has been subjected to some crazy and unfortunate weather over the past few weeks, and as a result, making trips out to the wonderful Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has proved a bit tricky. After checking the park’s website this morning and seeing it wasn’t closed despite the weather I made the hour and a half drive out to once again capture the speedy construction of what is sure to be a legendary coaster, The Joker. Continue reading “The Joker Construction Update #8”

So I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain today for a New Revolution Update. Little did I expect that my usual 5 minute drive to the park’s parking lot turned into a 60 minute one.

I’ll also be posting a regular Six Flags Magic Mountain update with pictures of the wonderful crowds! Let’s start taking a look at The New Revolution and the renewed Six Flags Plaza! Continue reading “The New Revolution Update – February 28th”
