An interesting new development from Six Flags Magic Mountain. Recently, clearing work has begun around Cyclone Bay/Apocalypse for a new 2019 attraction:
This is what the area currently looks like on the park map:
What's interesting is that Apocalypse will be down for the rest of 2018, while they work on the 2019 project. It even looks like from this image that will be receiving some re tracking:
In terms of what the 2019 attraction will be, rumours of a new coaster have been circulating for a while now, but now it seems like it's about to become a reality. In terms of what type of coaster it will be, rumours are pointing towards a Mack Rides style launch coaster in the veins of Time Traveler with spinning cars. What supports this rumour is this french documentary they show some track being manufactured at the Mack Rides plant. It is explained that it is going to the US in California. Considered the only rumoured park in California to getting a new coaster in 2019 is Magic Mountain, it is probably most likely going to end up here (Begins at 1:28.45):
Finally, in terms of what it might be called, trademarks have recently been filled for West Coast Racer and Maxx Force:
There was also a trademark filled for Adrenaline Alley, which could possibly be the name of the re themed Cyclone Bay. West Coast Racer is rumoured to be the new named for the go-karts in the area and Maxx Force the name of the 2019 attraction.
It will interesting to see how this unfolds.
