Here are the Pix from Magic Mountain. Again, I can't believe how great my day here was this time compared to the last time.

X2 is still, to me, a great ride and great experience. Loved it. Wish I felt better and could have ridden more.

Where are all the cars?!?

The park was so dead, they only had one lane open.


100_0253 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

I was able to park right behind the handicapped spots.


100_0255 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

Can't wait to get in and ride this.


100_0257 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

This just keeps getting better, and I'm not even in the park yet.

You just walk right in and some older guy comes up and scans your pass. Nobody there at all.

The park has a weird front plaza. It needs to be rejiggered, but when you get to this, it's quite nice.


100_0266 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

There's the best flying coaster I've been on.


100_0277 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

It kept testing but didn't open till the park was almost closed.


100_0278 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

They've done an excellent job with this area re-theming it. It could use a couple newer flats though.


100_0279 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

I still like this better than Titan.


100_0283 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

If they'd do this to the whole park, and add about 5 newer flat rides, and paint the coasters, it would be so much better.


100_0285 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

Interesting. I really liked it.


100_0289 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

So many coasters, so little time...but even less people so no lines at all. Yay!


100_0290 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

One of the best decisions this park has made in a long time.


100_0291 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

I didn't even bother. No lines, but I just didn't feel like riding.


100_0293 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

This was a credit for me as it was closed most of the day I was there last time. I was actually quite surprised. Loved it.


100_0294 by Edward Beavers, on Flickr

A solid ride, and much better than what used to be there.

Arrowland.

The only coaster that was down. I really wanted to ride, but I do have the credit. At least I got to ride Lex Luthor, and it was really great.

This area was nice, and reminded me of the midway at Great Adventure.

They kept advertising their 'End of the World Party' for 12/21/12, the following weekend.

So I had a great day at a park that is notorious for terrible customer service and poor capacity. I just wish I hadn't ate Chinese food just before Tatsu, or I would have rode so much more.

More pictures are Here.

Nice trip report - thank you for sharing. If all goes well, we'll be taking a trip out there the end of this year. Hopefully it will be just as dead.
