Holiday in the Park decorations

Posted on November 24, 2014 by greatamericancoasters

This week Magic Mountain finished putting up their decorations for Holiday in the Park! Here they all are! Hope you enjoy!

I would assume tthe currently changing lights in the fountain.

Winter Wonderland is located under Revolution and looks amazing! I mean amazing, not just six flags amazing. It looks like real snow!

The snow is like cotton, but it looks real!

Even the footings are covered in snow!

This is in the Katy’s Kettle restaurant seating area.

This is directly across from Tatsu. Here you can meet Santa.

DC Universe sunset!

Even the display in the stores in Bugs Bunny World were decked out!

I’m gonna take pics of coasters with the dimensions of your phones vertical wallpaper background. I only have one as of now, but it looks really good as a phone wallpaper.

I’m back to my original site!

During 2012 and early 2013 I used WordPress as a website. I wanted though to created a “flasher” website, so I changed to Wix. Its great, but for a blogger who post frequently, it got hard to maintain. So I’m switching back over to my original site. Welcome back to all new and improved Great American Coasters!

Full Throttle Construction Update #5

Superman and Gold Rusher are now open, but might close once more when construction moves forward. Some footings are almost complete, but some work is still needed. The footings by Superman do not have rebar in them yet.

X2 60% (6 votes)

I’m not surpised X2 won, but I’m not sure why people like this ride. I don’t really like X2 except if I’m in the inner seat in the back row, but anywhere else and the ride becomes extremely painful for me. My favorite ride at Magic Mountain is Lex Luthor Drop of Doom and I have no clue why that is my favorite, because its just one drop. My favorite ride of all time is Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. Thanks everyone for a vote on your favorite SFMM ride and I hope you had a happy new year!
