Magic Mountain Mondays #5: Psyclone

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.

DISPATCH!

A quick Sunday trip to Universal Studios Hollywood...things are busy!

May 23, 2021. It sure feels like there's pent-up demand here in SoCal for theme parks. It's only a couple of weeks into re-opening and things are busy, especially on the weekends. Reduced capacity sure, but with limits in indoor crowds the lines get pretty long, and are mostly out on the midway. We did a quick lap close to opening and rode Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, and Revenge of the Mummy all with 15 minutes (or less) of a wait. Then the park filled up and we moved on to food, beers, and walking around. Enjoy!

Early 90s Magic Mountain’s Psyclone. Unpopular ride for sure. Here’s a random shot from mid-ride, circa 1995.

In what today feels like a fever dream, we visited WDW in October 2020. Enjoy some short scenes from Star Wars and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. Cheers!
