Nanocoasters Volume #4 - Diamondback

I’m a dozen+ behind on nanocoaster posts, and I picked up ~15 of them on our August rollercoaster trip, so let’s pick this back up. Diamondback is a B&M hyper at Kings Island that is now in my top 3 B&M hypers. Unique train/seating position (offset 4 seat rows) and an overall fun layout. Well done.

Magic Mountain Mondays #23: Gotham City

Let’s take a trip to the former Contempo area (hi, area 5!), re-themed to Gotham City when Batman the Ride opened in 1994. First up, the titular signage.

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.

Me, on an egg

And then you told me / How bad you had to suffer

Is that really all you had to offer?

Magic Mountain Mondays #22: Pirates Cove

Well, they tried a thing. It didn’t work, but they tried.
