Six Flags Magic Mountain announces Green Lantern and other improvements
Posted
Six Flags Magic Mountain, in celebration of 40 years of thrill ride innovation, today announced an unprecedented year of capital expansions with three new roller coaster experiences slated for the Valencia theme park in 2011. With these additions, Six Flags Magic Mountain regains the coveted "Coaster Capital of the World" crown - with a total of 18 roller coasters – more than any other theme park on the planet.
Adding to the Park’s "thrills for all ages" coaster dynasty are two unique coaster experiences: the Green Lantern coaster, designed for the bravest of thrill seekers, is a first-in-the-U.S. vertical track, spinning coaster; and the park’s popular Superman The Escape will fly again in spring 2011 as Superman: Escape from Krypton, taking the record-breaking 100-mph-in-seven-seconds feature and elevating it to the next level of extreme by reversing the direction of the vehicles and sending riders backwards . In addition to those two exciting rides, a new thrill-seeker-in-training coaster, designed for the entire family, will premiere as well.

Isn't a 4D coaster with no left/right turns really just a 3D coaster?
Potentially so....but then you add fire, fog, and music, and you have a 6-D coaster...or Maverick. ;)

But not Fahrenheit. No effects there.
This is still incredible news for SFMM! When I first seen the video of this that leaked a little over a week ago, I thought it might have been a spoof of some kind. But great to see now, it's officall. ME LIKE!

Hmmm... well I'm gonna go out on a limb here.
New coasters (of any kind) are GREAT news! But - improvements at Magic Mountain? How about some flat rides? An octopus, etc., lobster, TILT A WHIRL, swings... etc...
And in the spirit of 'improvements', they're sitting on 2 all time great coasters, begging to return to their former glory - Revolution and Colossus of course...

Yeah this is my concern in the long term with the park with all of the new rides (And the existing ones for that matter) Can they make the in park improvements in the long haul to keep the customers happy and coming back from a customer service standpoint. I heard in recent time they have been improving there compared to what they used to be.

wonder if CZ will add a coaster for kids too to shot down the MM coaster count.... also isnt it odd they still count Supperman as a coaster?and count it towards there list even when its down?
if superman is a coaster so is the ppower tower..... going up....... n it would count as two....
^ CP counts Wicked Twister, so what's the big friggin deal?
It's a coaster, deal with it and let's move on...
I think Magic Mountain is jealous of Cedar Point's bigger phallic coaster so they feel the need to compensate... ;)
Certain victory.

Oh this bit again. *rolls eyes*
And FYI, Superman went "down" this past August in preparation for its retrofit for 2011 (repainting, new equipment installation, etc.).
If anything, the general acceptance of an intamin halfpipe as a coaster but a disko as a flat is the most puzzling.
Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?"
Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."
^The theory goes that the Halfpipe is driven uphill but "coasts" downhill, while the Disk'O is never free to drop under the force of gravity.
