Who knew a Vekoma roller skater would take over 18 months to build while the Little Dipper was bought and built in around 6 months.
So they DID NOT get a new coaster this year after all...
13 Years with SFGAm World!
CP is still leader!
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
Something must be behind this...
It's impossible that there is a construction problem, as they've had it on site for quite a while. Possibly plans for one of the 2011 attractions went under so they need this as a back-up? This is very peculiar.
This is very likely political related. As I've said before, at West Coast Bash Q&A session, the upper management told us that CA regulations will only set rider height by what the manufacturers suggest. Management was adamant that they were trying very hard to get Vekoma to change the verbage in their specifications to lower the ride height back to 36", which it ran at SFNO and that would then satisfy the state to lower it. The problem is, today's Vekoma is not the same company who built the ride, and no one there will sign off because they don't want the liabilities for it.
Disneyland has the exact same ride and it is 35" to ride it. Magic Mountain is very aware of this. My guess is they will continue trying very hard to get this changed. There may be some hope of that since they have not given up yet. It very well could be 36" or bust and they probably don't want to sink anymore money into it until it is. Otherwise they can't hit their target market.
You know something, there are quite a few other parks that wouldn't mind at all seeing this ride at their park. I'm sure that Six Flags could find something to replace it. If Vekoma really is the one refusing it, they might as well say goodbye to Six Flags. They haven't bought anything from Vekoma in 9 years, and I doubt they will anytime soon, if Vekoma wants a pretty huge companies business, they better start playing with the big kids.
^Oh, so you mean companies that pay their bills on time?
I Say send the Coaster to Six Flags St. Louis. They could use a Junior/Kids Coaster.
943 Coasters around the World! Countdown to 1000!

^They really do need one as the closest thing to a kiddie coaster there now is the mine train.
But! Magic Mountain NEEDS another coaster! Immediately!
I hope Webber will start realizing soon that magic mountain has enough.

I truly don't see the point of having the "most coasters" if your park doesn't have anything else!
Well, atleast parks who compete for "most coasters" are good for the following.
Coaster Enthusiasts Thrill Seekers Credit Whores What a wide variety of people! Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.

Doesn't credit whoring come with Enthusiasts? lol
I think you mean TPR's only.  Im not a credit whore. The only way I ride wacky worms or others is if im kinda bored and its close. Otherwise I just go to parks for good coasters, and a good time. Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.

hahhahhah! So very true! Well, we've got two Wild Mouse coasters, two Stand-ups. Why not two roller skater coasters? ahahha!

While your at it:
- Remove Raging Bull and expand Hurricane Harbor! - Remove American Eagle and expand Wiggles World! - Remove B:TR and replace it with a mine train coaster! Many more possibilities! ahahh!
Im sure 4-5 other kiddie areas could fit in eagles space! You know, im sure Bull and Eagle would be great new additions to Magic Mountain!
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
