How to Maximize Fun and Minimize Wait Times at Six Flags Magic Mountain

My experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain was overall enjoyable, but the wait times for the rides were extremely long. This was the case for both popular roller coasters and smaller attractions. Upon arrival, I was excited to try out the thrilling roller coasters that Six Flags Magic Mountain is famous for. However, I quickly realized that the lines for these rides were incredibly long, with wait times ranging from one to two hours. Some of the most popular roller coasters, such as X2 and Twisted Colossus, had wait times exceeding two hours, which was quite discouraging. Not only were the wait times for the popular roller coasters lengthy, but even the smaller attractions had long lines.

Vision: The problems are becoming abundantly clear. Avengers West has failed, conceptually and practically. The logical response is to wind up the operation and re-absorb the membership into the east coast organization. Re-evaluation will be necessary for certain individuals. Until then you will be placed on reservist status.Wanda: Reservist? So what are we going to do… odd jobs? Are we such an embarrassment? Has your work been so much more important than ours?

But, it had talented, passionate people, and those are the people being told not to show up anymore, while passionless drones who just collect a cheque are sitting on their side of the table, secure that they still have jobs on Monday.

Not only were the wait times for the popular roller coasters lengthy, but even the smaller attractions had long lines. This was unexpected, as I assumed that the queues for lesser-known rides would be shorter. However, many families and groups seemed to opt for these rides in order to avoid the lengthy queues of the popular roller coasters, resulting in long wait times for these attractions as well.

When did Wanda wear that x uniform? It’s cute. That cover looks great except for That costume almost dead center (also what is the crossing one so big? Sure it’s a unique look but it’s. Bad) wish they would have put the cute pink and red body suit from the same run where the racist costume is

That’s from Age of Apocalypse, in which Wanda dies in the first issue.

I’m guessing The Crossing is so big in order to add more black for contrast. Or maybe just because it’s different, idk.

I feel like we’re gonna be well into the 2040’s before Marvel accepts that the racist costume is Bad, Actually. Though, my second instinct is to say that’s too generous and they’ll never figure it out, and my third instinct is to say there will be some watershed moment where, due to outside factors, they will suddenly be like, “Yes, that stuff is bad.” Which seems impossible now, but that is how things often happen, right? I suppose I’m thinking of Free Britney. Nothing was happening until everyone decided they cared and then everything was happening.

was it given any specific reason as to why wanda had orange hair in the 90s? did she dye it or something?

I don’t think so. She just had red hair one day, and then she had straight red hair, and then she showed up in X-Men comics and it was literally impossible to tell her apart from Jean.

This lead to some weird shit, like that time a character in a flashback called her an extremely nasty slur for a dark-skinned person and the narrative boxes described her as “dark” (in explicit contrast to Pietro, who is described as white-passing) and she just… looked like Jean Grey.

AVENGERS FOREVER #1 variant! ✨ My latest costumes cover ft. the Scarlet Witch!

Drawn and colored by me!

I can say we’re not gonna see Scarlet Witch [in Death of Doctor Strange]. She’s a little busy with [Trial of Magneto]… That was one character where we can’t really bridge the gap on that one.

Feels like there’s still a small number of people thinking Wanda will be the next Sorcerer Supreme and um, no.

Avengers West Coast #102; writers: Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning; penciler: Dave Ross; inker: Tim Dzon; letterer: Steve Dutro; colorist: Bob Sharen

I’ve been thinking a lot about the superhero as a Job. About those days where I wake up and just don’t want to go to work and what that must be like for one of these characters. Where you do it because you need the money and you have powers and you’re good at it, but you don’t really love it. What’s funny about this issue is that I don’t see that perspective in the group that’s being let go: I see it in the group that’s secure in their jobs.

And that’s what galls me the most about this comic. That’s the part that reflects the real world in the worst way. It’s not Vision and Captain America and Iron Man playing their bullshit with people’s lives. They’re right to shut down the West Coast branch. It was a failure, mostly because it had no strong management. But, it had talented, passionate people, and those are the people being told not to show up anymore, while passionless drones who just collect a cheque are sitting on their side of the table, secure that they still have jobs on Monday. Because it wouldn’t be ‘fair’ to get rid of them in favour of a bunch of ‘losers.’

There is a perennial, low-grade discourse online surrounding the question of whether or not the Avengers are a “found family.” This discussion follows a predictable path: Someone will claim that they were found family baited by a certain accurséd film franchise. If the responder likes the Avengers, they will insist that in the comics/cartoons/early-mid 2010′s fanfiction, the Avengers are a “found family”; it is only the films that promise this and do not deliver. If they’re more negative on the team as a whole, they say, no, the Avengers were never a quote-unquote found family; if that’s what you want, look to the X-Men/Young Avengers/ambiguously canon network television program.

(On the latter point, if you’re the sort who finds the whole found family thing as conceptualized in fandom to be a bit cultish, recent happenings among the X-Men are not going to change your mind.)

This argument is boring to me because 1) I am not a found family person (I have nothing against characters forming tight bonds obviously, but the way people talk about this trope is so overblown and oversimplified that it bears no resemblance to an actual human relationship) and 2) “Avenger” is a job. There may be groups of Avengers who have long histories and close ties, but overall? Come on. No one really believes that the 616 Avengers as a unit are a “found family.” Too many people with no connection to each other have been on this team. There may be 800 X-Men, but at least, they all have something in common. The Avengers don’t have that shared history or culture binding them together, only a shared profession and maybe, sometimes a mission statement. Individuals sets of characters may be argued to have that kind of relationship, but the team as a whole, as an idea, is just not a family.

Where I diverge from others is that I think it is Cool and Good that the Avengers are merely coworkers. I like when “superhero” is a job. I especially liked when, in the old days, the Avengers were reined in by bureaucracy. This modern depiction of them as god-kings who start civil wars over the possibility of oversight is dull. It’s uninteresting to me to have them be so above everyone else. I liked when they were simply workers dealing with management and office politics.

Which brings us back to this issue where Wanda quits the team rather than be demoted. Why wouldn’t she? Wanda is one of the few mythical beings who maybe, possibly has a found family within the Avengers, but is that enough reason to accept a subordinate position to some randos? Nah. She picks her pride. Black Knight and Sersi aren’t her family, and she’s not honored just to be included.

Although Six Flags Magic Mountain offers a Fastpass option, which allows guests to skip the lines for an additional cost, this was not a feasible option for everyone. The additional expense was not feasible for many visitors, and the limited availability of Fastpasses further limited this option. The long wait times at Six Flags Magic Mountain did dampen my overall experience. While the park offers thrilling and exciting rides, the amount of time spent waiting in line significantly detracted from the enjoyment. I wish there was a more efficient system in place to minimize wait times and maximize the time spent actually experiencing the rides. In conclusion, while Six Flags Magic Mountain offers a variety of thrilling rides, the long wait times for these attractions can be a major downside. It is important for visitors to be prepared for potentially lengthy queues and to plan their day accordingly. Despite the wait times, I still had a fun day at the park, but it would have been even better if the lines were shorter..

Reviews for "Getting the Most Out of Your Six Flags Magic Mountain Experience: How to Beat the Wait Times"

- Jessica S. - 1 star

The wait times at Six Flags Magic Mountain were absolutely unbearable. I felt like I spent more time waiting in line than actually enjoying the rides. It was hot, crowded, and chaotic, with no clear organization or management of the queues. The lack of shade made it even more unbearable, and the food and drink options were overpriced and not worth the wait either. Overall, my experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain was frustrating and disappointing.

- Michael T. - 2 stars

I visited Six Flags Magic Mountain on a weekday, hoping to avoid the long wait times that I had heard about. However, even on a less crowded day, the lines were still incredibly long. It felt like a waste of time and money to stand in line for hours just for a few minutes of thrill on the rides. The park could definitely benefit from better crowd management strategies and more efficient ride operations. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.

- Sarah L. - 1 star

I was extremely disappointed with the wait times at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The lines were ridiculously long, even on a supposedly slow day. It seemed like the park was not prepared to handle the number of visitors, resulting in frustratingly slow-moving queues. The lack of shade and seating in the waiting areas made the experience even more uncomfortable. I would not recommend this park to anyone looking for a pleasant and efficient theme park experience.
