Six Flags Magic Mountain 2008

Six Flags Magic Mountain formally announced their new additions for the 2008 season today.

First, they are changing some stuff on X and marketing it as X2 next year. They're spending another $10 million on this money pit to add new trains (which we all knew) and to add a tunnel with lights and other "sensory" effects.

Personally, I don't get it. The ride cost a ton to begin with, has had tons of work done on it since, and now this much more is being spent on it so 500 people an hour can ride? Hmm...

Anyway, they also announced Thomas Town, which had also already been mentioned by Six Flags previously. This time they put out some concept art, however. Click here to see it.

Here's the whole press release as well.
