They just got Tatsu, now Terminator, and then another one! Dang, I thought 6Flags was like $2billion in the hole! Wow, this'll put SFMM on the map (even more)...with more coasters than CP! W00t beat that!
Sorry, I got excited O_o

As soon as Magic Mountain has 4 Hypers, 3 of which are in the Top 10 Steel Coasters as voted by Amusement Today, then the park will not be better than Cedar Point. Not only that but food-wise, environment-wise, and park-friendliness wise Cedar Point has every edge.
I have nothing against this park, I am excited to go there this spring, but it being called better than the Roller Coaster Capital of the World just pissed me off a bit. It's been voted the best park in the world for the past...what?... like five years?

And I have to agree with Chubs, SFMM will never beat out CP. Having been to both parks I would know. Sure they have some good coasters, but that's about it. CP wins with the environment, food, friendly-ness, pretty much everything Chubs said. And who cares if SFMM will have as many coasters as CP, none of them are in the Top Ten, and Cedar Point has 3. And CP has a lot less room to put there coasters in, which makes them all unique. I think that CP's only clone is Raptor, yet it was the original clone.
You can't compare the two parks unless you've been to both, and then you'll know, CP is way better.

I know that CP has good food and a good atmoshpere, but I personally like SFMM way better.
Sure, they have some clones (DejaVu, Batman) and a lot of 'cousins', but the whole collection of rides is amazing. And almost every ride they have has broken or still holds some kind of record (X2, Superman:TE, Tatsu, Riddler's, Revolution, Goliath).
And SFMM fits a ton of rides into really small spaces. And it's open year-round, and tickets are cheaper.
CP is a fantastic park, but I still like SFMM better.

"Shapiro said Six Flags Magic Mountain will be getting another roller coaster in 2010 and a Wiggles World kiddie land sometime after that. Shapiro also said that if Terminator Salvation: The Ride proves popular at Magic Mountain when it opens in May 2009, the wooden coaster would wind up at another Six Flags park in 2010."-la times
