It was typically the first ride I used to visit first. If I could, I would ride it again before at dusk, when there was just enough sunlight left. It was a totally different feeling than riding it during the day or at night.

Kitsune91 I worked there and of all the rides I worked it was the best.

Agreed

x2 better

@Jennifer Yeah, it looks like one of the weaker RMC's. Only way I could see that not being true is if it's warmed up and actually synced and dueling properly.

X2 would like to chat

X2 And riddlers revenge want to chat

yeah and you can keep that green lantern piece of crap

We'll take it! That corner of the park has felt so lonely since it left. And having Dejavu right next to Boomerang in New England looks ridiculous.

sschaos8 Perfect! Pleasure doing business with you. We'll be shipping in Shipwreck falls back to its rightful place in a few weeks.

sschaos8 Have fun stuck on the lift tower!

benjaminrei13 egland is my city

That’s awesome!

Cool!

I just saw this and was trying to figure out how to send it to you. haha

How cool is that?!

Sorry sir, the video indicates the park being Magic Mountain and the ride being Pscyclone. Please readjust your life experiences and memories to fit what the internet says. I’ll wait 🧐

bezoticallyyours83 I totally agree

i was lucky to ride just about everything on that list

Hey! Welcome to the channel.

@@MightyRideJunkies1 I think I commented on one of your older videos a year or so ago. Can't quite remember when. Nice channel, man!

Bruce You should come back soon, they added so much stuff

Yeah we went back once since the 70s but it lost all its nostalgia. Did not enjoy it because it wasnt Magic Mountain anymore. Can go anywhere for a park full of roller coasters. Perhaps being from Anaheim had something to do with it, but in the 70s it was my favorite park!

I came in slightly later, but only slightly. It was my favorite park as an older kid & teenager in the 80's through to very early 90's. I went back once around 2001 or so, and again a couple of years ago around 2016 or 17. I really missed rides like Spinout (my friends and I would ride it on loop for HOURS till someone would throw up & they'd have to close temporarily). I remember riding most of the rides on this list at least once - I even got to experience Thrill Shot once. Psyclone was always awful. However, a lot of the rides from that era that are still there have really not aged well. Ninja and Viper are painful to ride now. But, there is also a newer ride called Tatsu that is wonderful & is now my favorite coaster ever. I agree with the nostalgia factor and this video. But, if you have a chance, do consider going back again.

Bruce missing out go back

Yeah, I do remember a lot of people trying a lot of dumb ass moves on that ride, the most fun was people puking while on the ride.

Do you still work there?

I want to work at my home park Great America

i was going in the 80s and i never saw it either

Make sure to show ur family u were right!

Magic Pagoda is still in the park but only gets used during Fright Fest now as a maze. So it's not considered "gone" since the building is still there and it still does get some seasonal use. Head to SFMM during Fright Fest season and you can walk through it once more and experience nostalgia.

What do you remember most about it? And the effects? I've read about the Talking Buddha with the projected face at the front entrance, The dragon room, and the miniature oriental village. I would love to know more about the Magic Pagoda

Julian Saucedo well it used to.... that ride died 3 years ago and a beautiful RMC was born in its place

Backwards Colossus was awesome!

It would be amazing if they did the same with Twisted on Fright Fest 2019

I believe there was a period of time when one lane ran the coaster backwards and the other lane ran the coaster forwards; you got to choose which lane at the front of the line. Originally both lanes ran the coasters forward and at the same time, simulating a race.

it was a classic. much preferred it over full throttle. that ride is a major disappointment

How how did you like that ride it was a headache machine with limited thrill

That's what I Was gonna say. It was very relaxing just going through the trees

Although I’m a rollercoaster junky now, it scared me shitless as a kid lol

Cotlynn K meee tooo!!!

I wasnt born...😑

They need to build a new log ride there. If I were in charge I would build it either in place of the never busy Whistlestop Park and make it part of a Bugs Bunny World extension or build it in place of or around the Golden Bear Theatre. Rumor has it that Tidal Wave could be on the chopping block for the next coaster project (I would not much miss Tidal Wave) and this park can use a good new water ride.

Thank you kindly!

It was a fun ride, but I totally forgot it was gone 🤕

that thing must have been going real fast! after all the brakes they added on it over the years, it certainly lost its quickness

I remember that as well, was really sad, that and some moron standing up on the Matterhorn ride at Disney Land when I was about four years old, 1964 I think.

There is more to that story. The couple were rocking the gondola car violently back and forth causing it to detach from the cable and fall 50 feet. The man died and the woman survived, but lost her legs.

Thank👏🏼You👏🏼

Lemme tell you I screamed and ran to the comments when he said that 🤣

Thank you! 🙌🙏 The Intamin brand name is a portmanteau for "INT-ernational AM-usement IN-stallations".

Thank Rocky Mountain Construction for that

I rode that every time I went to park... front seat didn't beat you up so bad

We had passes from 2000 to 2003 back in my early teens, and Flashback was always one of our favorites. It was hardly ever open near the end of it's life, but they seemed to like to operate it at night, which was the most fun time to ride anyway.

Ronny Franklin drop of doom is free fall on steroids

Oh wow, this is obscure!!! All I remember about the Magic Pagoda was that it was kind of an interactive fun house? The funicular took you to it, if I remember correctly.
