Earlier this year documents were uncovered on the LA County permitting website that show plans for a new roller coaster for Six Flags Magic Mountain! The proposed ride, an RMC Raptor/single rail coaster would re-use the former Green Lantern station and use some of the area currently occupied by Tidal Wave. New permits show that Six Flags Magic Mountain has been granted approval for $1.3M of foundations for the coaster’s supports.

The original document we found in April includes this nifty overlay, showing the new coaster’s layout. As you can see, it would re-use Green Lantern’s station and cross over Tidal Wave’s splashdown area. The coaster features double out and back layout, and would make two turn-arounds in the center of the Metropolis plaza, which would be quite an iconic sight!
This new permit shows wording that confirms the project to be a Rocky Mountain Construction coaster, with the current timeline in the permit being for 2021 or 2022. You can find the public record of the permit here.
