Seeing that tree fall was really cool! Sad that Universal and Six flags removed all these trees. Universal is a little different because they have nowhere to put a coaster, but it's still sad. The concrete stairs seem to be staying from the permits. I have heard people say that some or all of the stairs might be a waterfall feature, which would be Beautifull with the soaring coaster! Workers at universal today were calibrating the track that's for the inversion over the escalators, so that definitely hints towards track there soon, but definitely at night. This will hopefully be the second coaster construction series I get to see! Thanks for all the updates and I hope you're staying safe!
Yeah I had good timing today with the free falling and coasters flying by. I wish parks didn't remove so many trees. You're right with Universal not having a choice. But Magic Mountain could remove old rides for new rides. These trees are 50+ years old. Tragic to see cut down. I've been hearing the waterfall rumor for a long time now. It'll be interesting to see if that happens and how it looks. Rad about F&F. I'll be there tomorrow for an update. And, yes, I'll be covering this new coaster at Six Flags just like I am with Fast & Furious.
Thank you for your amazing coverage per usual. There is a lot going on in the world, there is nothing we can do but nice to people and enjoy things we enjoy.
Thanks for the update! Love your videos but it's such a shame they're removing even more foliage, especially around FT. I'm a little bummed out that I won't be able to see the old landscape one last time at my park visit later this week but hey, at least a new coaster is coming right?
I've also heard the rumors of the stairs becoming a water feature. That would be pretty awesome. Especially since there is supposed to be at least one time where the coaster goes out over the edge. To boost this idea, there was an article in one of the OC papers about the new ride and they said the theme is supposed to be offroad motorbiking. If that's the case, then it would make perfect sense for there to be a waterfall and for them to replant a bunch of trees. I'd love them to put a bear statue fishing in the water too to honor the Golden Bear Theater, if there ends up being a big water feature. I'm also looking forward to the station flyby that happens according to the site drawings. Viper is supposed to be next up for a repaint, so hopefully that rumor is true. I've love to see the trains get new restraints as well to rejuvenate the ride. I imagine that they didn't remove Ninja first because they would have lost the 20 coasters in the park record until the new coaster is built. I can see them removing Ninja after the ride is open though. Especially since it's rumored that this is the last year for The Bat at King's Island.
I think I forgot to mention in the vlog, but if it's an inverted motorbike, I imagine the vehicles will be very close to the ground and make it feel like you're ridding across the dirt. I sure hope Viper is next to get painted. Would squash all the rumors about it's removal. Last year for Bat at Kings Island? Meaning it's not going to reopen next year? That would be tragic. It's one of the better coasters in the park! Better than Banshee!
Yes, Yes, Yes, so Viper is staying put for at least 7 more years 😮💨, please have that rumor be true. Magic Mountain needs to preserve the final Arrow Megalooper.
Can't wait for February 17th, 2027 when Six Flags will officially announce the reimagining of Superman and Goliath as an S&S x RMC pneumatic-launched strata T-Rex, coming 2029.
Man I was able to get to the park when they were doing holiday with the lights on and rode X2 and viper in the dark and man I wish the park was open later cause riding in the dark was so cool
Regarding Ninja... there was a legitimate period back in the early 2000's where you could reach out and grab branches and bushes. Especially in that last bit. Also, if they were to take out Superman and Ninja, could they use that long skinny plot of land for the rumored giga?
Oh dang. I don't remember branches being close enough to grab. Sounds like they let it go too long without being maintained, and then overreacted when there was an incident. If Ninja and Superman got removed, I'm not quite sure if that area would be good enough for a giga. There's tons of walkways and other stuff in the way. Perhaps if the lifthill went towards Supermans tower? But I wouldn't want anything 300+ feet right next to the Sky Tower. Plus, Tatsu is already there.
@@VipersCoasters New rumor is that the next repaint after Goliath is Viper. I hope that comes to pass. I can also see the trains from Anaconda being used for parts here. Hopefully they put in new restraints. That would make so many other folks happy and would definitely give Viper a bit of new life. It's such a good ride and one of my favorites at the park.
So I don’t know about that ninja rumor but I’ve heard that they are going to be re doing the queue line, rip out the turn table from dragon and move the flash pass like somehow. Also Superman and scrambler are officially non existent in the park. Obviously things can change but that’s what I know
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork not sure either in terms of the why, but my guess is to move the flash pass line and make the line more organized, plans could’ve changed too
I think it might be too hard to box up all the trees on the hillside. But would be nice for other areas where trees got removed. Like when they did The Underground for West Coast Racers. Lot of trees on flat ground that could have easily been relocated.
Give me the trees and log jammer keep full throttle and the new coaster i definitely will not be going in the summer months not enough shade to justify sweating my butt off
bro you can't say your a coaster guy and not know that you have to clear land before adding in anything. there will not be immediately 50 year old tress but it will be wooded again eventually. common yall please use your heads, they have also said they will not be getting rid of the concrete becuase it is what is holding up the side of the mountain but i hope they still decided to beautify it a little .
The issue, as I stated in the video, is that trees get removed and not replaced. Just as with the area around Full Throttle, Wonder Woman, and West Coast Racers. The last time they filled in an area with lush trees after constructing a coaster was with Tatsu in 2006. Again, all this was said and shown in the video.
Why is everyone SO confident that this is an inverted motorbike ride. That would be first in the world. Their press release on Nov 14th said first in North America, and anytime a company can tout first in the world, they'll do it in a heartbeat. So, if they truly mean what they say, it will be a first in North America, and it will be the style of F.L.Y. in Germany.
Imagine if GREED were not a factor in this parks equation??????.....................Metro should have never been removed for a park over two times the size of Disney I mean imagine the outcry if Disney removed the Monorail????? Six Hogs used the excuse of Superman to remove the Metro When a simple fix would have been to build a bridge over Superman.......but now Superman has to go????? Thento remove Eagles flight when they could have tightened the safety up on this ride I mean at max you could even spend 20 million to install a new state of the art Gondola system skii parks and Zoos do it all the time.......not one show with human entertainment and now Disney is falling in line with this scam removing the iconic Hyperion theater or at least not having shows........The top of the mountain has so much potential but has been in neglect for two decades ............SMH.........GREED ...............
@ Well I hope they improve the park, because before the merger, this park needed some work. They doing some good steps in the right direction, but they have a long way to go
What could even be done to salvage this park? Removing Log Jammer for the generic, short white coaster literally robbed any remaining bit of soul this park may have had. The coasters are only "okay" because the park is really, really bad - like bottom of the barrel. Hope the new Six Flags can can come up with something to give the park a hint of character. They should probably just ship the salvageable coasters off to other parks.
I gotta disagree about the quality of coasters. Magic Mountain has some incredible rides. And, in my opinion, a better collection than even Cedar Point. However, the environment of the park needs a ton of help.
Lol this is a very questionable take. The park is in dire shape outside the rides but the rides are absolutely phenomenal. Calling Full Throttle "the generic, short white coaster" truly makes you an enormous troll. It is an absolutely amazing coaster. Full Throttle was an obvious upgrade for the park.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork lol Come on now brother lets stay rooted in reality. MM is awesome but CP it is not, and thats without TT2 or Sirens. MM has nothing close to an answer to Steve/Maverick/Milly/Magnum as a top 4. X2 is the only one that deserves consideration, and to be clear its my favorite coaster at either park, but beyond X2 magic mountain drops off steeply. Great rides but it hasn't competed with CP realistically since Steve came out, and CP continues pulling further ahead.
@@gibiati8295the problem is, it's okay to have either opinion. He isn't a fan of a lot of CP coasters and finds them overrated, and that's perfectly okay.
@@gibiati8295 Honestly not trying to troll. I can understand why some might like Full Throttle - I like it too. Do I prefer Log Jammer? YOU BET! Short length launch coasters don't impress me and I'd like to see about a hundred things added to Magic Mountain before a roller coaster is given a second thought. Much prefer varied experiences and I find Magic Mountain to be more a showroom for different coaster models than it is a park. Some people really dig a no frills coaster park and that is really all Magic Mountain is. I spend my day lamenting the potential for the park itself to be a great experience separate of it's coasters. This is why I find Cedar Point, Knott's and even Disneyland to be much better parks even if the coasters are anywhere near as good at the later two.

@AmericasCoasterNetwork i thought the older oak trees that got relocated from the reservoir build back in the day had to stay.
Man, you "Glided" right up there for this coverage.
🤣
Viper...honestly if they just changed the restraints it would be so much better...and a good retracking could give it another 15 years!
...& a fresh coat of paint!
restraints need to be comfier
@@demonoid7469 I agree.
I wonder if a lapbar would make it better?
A paint job, YES. The rest? I’d rather the money be spent elsewhere. It’s a rough and tumble Arrow, and I love it for that reason.
Thank you for your amazing coverage per usual. There is a lot going on in the world, there is nothing we can do but nice to people and enjoy things we enjoy.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. And you're right. All we can do is be nice and keep doing what we love.
The park looks awesome and the area of the new coaster is larger than I was expecting \o/
Many people are saying this new roller coaster will be a tamed down Vekoma family coaster.
I really hope they replant more trees once the coaster is done!
Maybe you’ll get lucky on Samurai Summit! 😂
Get lucky? Not since the Japanese garden went away. 🤣
@@AmericasCoasterNetworkWhat happens on the hill stays on the hill! Lol!
In knotts berry farm, there’s no work done in monte it’s just teared up parts of the covering since the wind is so strong.
So frustrating how long this is taking. And all the pauses.
@ I think it’s gonna open around Fall
Disappointed you weren't able to see a T-Rex come out when that tree came down at the 4:43mark 😅😅
Haha! That would have been great!
Thanks for the update! Love your videos but it's such a shame they're removing even more foliage, especially around FT. I'm a little bummed out that I won't be able to see the old landscape one last time at my park visit later this week but hey, at least a new coaster is coming right?

Looks like the leftover land from Log Jammer is being used for this.
Based on the blueprints the park submitted to the city it looked like the the seating bowl of the theatre will be maintained.
Yeah.... That's what I kept hearing even prior to the plans. Will be interesting to see how they make it look nice.
Can't wait for February 17th, 2027 when Six Flags will officially announce the reimagining of Superman and Goliath as an S&S x RMC pneumatic-launched strata T-Rex, coming 2029.
I’m quite interested in this new Thrill Glider model, my only concern is if the seating position will be comfortable.
Yeah it doesn't look very comfortable. But I have faith in Vekoma (I can't believe I'm saying that now)
Man I was able to get to the park when they were doing holiday with the lights on and rode X2 and viper in the dark and man I wish the park was open later cause riding in the dark was so cool
Yeah, I hate that parks don't stay open as late as they used to. It's rare that I get night rides.
It will be crazy if they get rid of Ninja, but at this point, I won't be shocked due to the facts they got rid of Kingda Ka
Regarding Ninja... there was a legitimate period back in the early 2000's where you could reach out and grab branches and bushes. Especially in that last bit.

Perhaps if the lifthill went towards Supermans tower? But I wouldn't want anything 300+ feet right next to the Sky Tower. Plus, Tatsu is already there.
Viper’s roof was damaged by the wind.
Oh dang! I didn't notice! Makes sense why it was closed then. Thanks for that.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork of course buddy
I hope viper is ok
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork I kinda agree. I love Viper and I wouldn’t want to see it close

The workers stopped when u put the camera over the fence bye the bathroom. They were like WTH why is there a camera
They probably thought I was OSHA! 😂
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork I’m a big fan Ty for the heart and reply
I honestly hope for a 300+ft yall giga coaster as there addition.
I'd love that. But a giga isn't in the plans approved. Hopefully in the future.
It's kind of funny how some of the 'new' views are pretty close to some really old views in the park.
Yeah, you know, I didn't really think about it in that way. But you're absolutely right!
So I don’t know about that ninja rumor but I’ve heard that they are going to be re doing the queue line, rip out the turn table from dragon and move the flash pass like somehow. Also Superman and scrambler are officially non existent in the park. Obviously things can change but that’s what I know
Rip out the turntable? I'm not sure what that would do. And would be costly.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork not sure either in terms of the why, but my guess is to move the flash pass line and make the line more organized, plans could’ve changed too
It’s understandable to remove trees for expansion but magic mountain does not do a good job with planting new trees.
sad that so many trees are being lost and not boxed up to be replanted
I think it might be too hard to box up all the trees on the hillside. But would be nice for other areas where trees got removed. Like when they did The Underground for West Coast Racers. Lot of trees on flat ground that could have easily been relocated.

Man buddy it's been so long I wanna say just before west coast racer opened in the.old spilikan corners
Why remove ninja? If anything viper needs to go. It’s a painful experience and it’s way past its prime
I'm actually quite the fan of Viper. I'd hate to see either go. Quite amazing that the park still has 4 coasters from Arrow.
Wish they would stop building new coasters and focus on improving landscape/themeing
💯
It’s Cedar Fair, they know how to do both.
@ Well I hope they improve the park, because before the merger, this park needed some work. They doing some good steps in the right direction, but they have a long way to go
