2011 is really a bleak year for Six Flags Magic Mountain. First De'Ja'Vu leaves the park to be in Six Flags New England, and now the classic Log Jammer, one of the park's original attractions, is being removed.
To make matters worse, the news came out quite abruptly that the ride would be gone the day after Halloween--which has already passed. That's very little short notice to get our last rides in if you ask me. Oh, by the way, there were no last rides. The Warehouse 13 maze for the park's annual Fright Fest had occupied the entrance so that the ride was completely blocked off during the event's run. Wow Six Flags, what a wonderful way to treat a ride that has been there since the park opened.
On the flip side, according to various sources, Six Flags officials have spoken up and said that a new attraction will be on the way to replace the Log Jammer that will be announced next year. I think it's safe to assume that after Lex Luther's Drop of Doom opens, a major roller coaster will be on the way for 2013 in that same location. I guess this will be their opportunity to take the theme park stage after the hype for Cars Land and Transformers will have worn off. Now that the Log Jammer has sailed out of the picture, I hope Six Flags takes full advantage of that large space and puts some amazing thrill ride in the classic ride's place.
