The original icon. Shame on SFMM for:
Not operating it regularly.
Not painting it regularly.
Not keeping it open when they had an employee who cared enough to make it a MM museum. No, seriously. SFMM, had someone who cared and you let it fade. This Is Your Icon. Your legacy compared to “coaster parks”.
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.
