Magic Mountain Mondays #2: Revolution

In August of 1995, I took a bunch of photos (on film no less) at Six Flags Magic Mountain using an inexpensive camera. I was working as an Operations supervisor at the time, and the purpose of the project was to create a slide show for an employee appreciation party for our Operations staff. I’ve carted these slides around for over 25 years and I finally had them digitally transferred this year. About 2/3s of them aren’t available for posting because they are crew pictures and I have no way to request permission to post them. But I do have 50+ available that are just various shots of the park. Enjoy this time capsule from August 1995.


Here’s Revolution, cresting a hill in the bad old days - aka, the shoulder harness era. Thankfully, they’ve been removed, but in the mid-90s, Rev was neither the great ride it opened as, nor was is it the classic it runs as today.

Universal Studios Hollywood - May 2021

Universal Studios Hollywood is back open and we took a trip there on May 8, 2021. People seem to be missing theme parks as the attraction and food lines were all quite long. But despite that we were able to ride the Studio Tram tour and the new Secret Life of Pets dark ride (full ride-through at the end of the video). And we got some quality people-watching, which has been sadly missing for the last year+. Enjoy!
