Magic Mountain Mondays #35: A View From Sky Tower 3

Turning to face the other direction, here’s a view of the preferred wooden coaster, Colossus. Also of note, you can see the roof of the TDK Showcase Theater in the bottom left and the BFT bottom right.

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.

Magic Mountain Mondays #19: Colossus 2

Let’s stay on Colossus, but stray over to signage. Magic Mountain was never sponsor-adverse (who can forget the super sticky days of New York Seltzer sponsoring Colossus?), but some of the sponsor choices were…odd? Stridex? Because the rides are mostly run by pimple-faced teens? Sure, whatever.

Magic Mountain Mondays #18: Colossus

After a couple of weeks of YSSF, how about a nice palate cleanser? Here’s the first drop of Colossus, as seen from the front row. Enjoy!
