hey guys!
i need some advice for mm.

Im going to MM this december and extremely excited! We were thinking of going on the 10th which is a saturday...or would everyone here recommend the sunday?

the main rides i would like to go on are x, goliath, ridlers revenge and scream...how would i attack this? run to x straight away? although ive heard it doesnt open straight away? should i go on say riddlers 1st then hurry back over?

** hoping they are open, but not getting my hopes up by the looks of the reviews **

where would be the best place to eat? i just want something light and cheap...are you allowed to take your own food? i think i heard somewhere you cant...

i dont want 2 spend too much time eating...i want to try and get the most out of my time there while i can!

do any rides have on-ride photos?

thanks for any replies!
xoxoxo

Australia huh? Very nice. I have always wanted to go there.But anyways, don't get your hopes up for MM. It isn't taken care of and has some gang issues. Although they have worked hard to fix the problems. I went maybe about a year and half ago and had no problems. I have a friend in Cali who says the park has improved a little, so just stay cautious.

For the rides, X will always have a very long line so when I went and knocked out the others first. I worked my way around to the right, starting with Goliath, and moving on to Scream, Colussus, and then to Gotham City with Riddler's Revenge and Batman. Most of those lines are short so you should be able to get through those quickly. I didn't wait longer than a half hour for any of them. Then up to the mountain and ride Ninja and Superman. Over to Revoulution and then to Viper and X. Don't worry about Psyclone and Deja Vu until later. Deja Vu probably won't be open.

MM doesn't have very good food, but they do have pretty regular theme park fare all around the park. Pizza, burgers, and stuff like that is everywhere. There is a Panda Express (chinese food) and a McDonalds ( which may not be open in winter). You can't bring any food in BTW.
If you decide to sit down and eat a really good place is Mooseburger Lodge which is located close to Flashback. It is a full service restaurant but is a little expensive, however the food was great. The best in the park by far.

Many rides have photos including X. Thats the one you will probably want.

Six Flags Magic Mountain
Here is a map, it is from 2003 but nothing much has changed. Only Flashback has closed.

Hope some of this helps.

Hey no problem, hopefully this all helps you have a good trip.

When I went Freefall was open, and it never had a line. People think it is old so not alot of people like it. But I think those type of drop rides are really fun.

If you are going in the winter, either day should be ok, but sundays are normally less packed for some reason.

And something I forgot about. The FastLane Pass system. It lets you buy a pass that gets you through certain lines faster. The rules can be confusing, but here is a link with some info. Once you click the link, Click "General Information", for the info.
