[edit] Sloppy

Article needs a lot of revision and proofreading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.218.112.42 (talk) 06:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wildfires?

Now who would want to put a picture of Magic Mountain here with a wildfire in the background? This is so messed up, it could go in Wikipedia:BJAODN. Riffsyphon1024 06:13, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I know, I agree... so I added it to BJAODN :-D --AlexTheMartian 06:30, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] I put it there

I put it there because its the only pic of Magic I have. I work there and my room mate took the picture. I think the picture is quite dramatic. And yes, all of the workers were praying for the park to burn to the ground.

Hey it is a cool picture, and its funny. I went to San Dimas High School only one freeway exit from Raging Waters water park in San Dimas.. so I can agree that they did wish for it to burn. Like any amusement/theme/water... the only people who hate it, are all the people working there, LOL --AlexTheMartian 07:34, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
but do you have any objections with whenever a better picture of the park is uploaded that it be used instead? --AlexTheMartian 07:36, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
LOL, I guess amusement park worker misery is universal. Ya, if anyone finds a better picture by all means, put it up. I'm new to the wiki-world and I am hoping to make this my first article. I added the ride list and I plan to start adding more stuff pretty soon once i learn all the tools. Btw, thanks for shrinking the pic, I wanted to do that but I don't know how quite yet.
You will learn with time, young apprentice. By the way, to sign your messages, type 4 ~'s.

And Alex, the new pic looks good. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:32, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sky Tower?

Can we really say the sky tower is closed due to tatsu's construction? As far as I know it's been closed due to unknown reasons, long before tatsu came along.

Well's it's currently getting a new coat of paint and should open with Tatsu. ParticleMan 18:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
I heard also that it would reopen, but I don't remember where. Any more news?--Mawfive 23:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
It's open. Timetrial3141592 01:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Yea it has been open since at least May of 07, the last time I went there.

[edit] Removed text

I removed the following text as it is non-encyclopedic in its current form, being more of an editorial comment. It might be able to be re-written to a more formal tone:

Many local teenagers, parents, and families are in uproar about the proposal to close the theme park, and many are left to ask, what are they to do on hot summer days if the park is sold? The park is very famous, and contains many record-breaking thrill rides and world class roller coasters. The park has been featured in movies and television shows. Having recently beat Cedar Point's record for the most roller coasters in one park, Magic Mountain is the coaster captial of America. Thus, many are shocked and outraged at the proposal to sell the park.

Example: ME. I agree with those angry people. Even though I live on the othr sde of N America.

[edit] Waiting time

What do you think the waiting time will be for the big rides like goliath, riddler's revenge, etc. for a spring break visit this year?--MP123 05:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The Park's Popular rides are Tatsu, X and Deja Vu, those rides will probably be more than an hour's line up in march. Everything else: an hour or less. So you should probably go on the popular rides at end or the beggining of the day.70.81.249.110 15:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Why are there no pictures of some of the roller coasters? --77.179.94.89 12:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I could fix that :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by Panda pepper39 (talk • contribs) 22:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tone and Sources

This article is now on my list of articles to improve. I will address its tone (specifically in the latter part of the article), and it's lack of sources. Any help you all could give would be great. Lasdlt (talk) 04:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
