Magic Mountain Spins New Coaster

There's a (very) little bit more news coming from Six Flags Magic Mountain about its new coaster. According to Brady MacDonald at the Los Angeles Times, the 2010 ride will be a family coaster. And, apparently that's all the California park is saying for now. A few months back, Six Flags CEO, Mark Shapiro, let slip that Magic Mountain would be getting its 17th coaster in 2010. With the addition of the family coaster, the park will reclaim its status as having the most coasters of any park in the world--a bragging point it will share with the 17-coaster haven, Cedar Point. Six Flags says it will reveal details about the new ride later this month. My guess is that a spinning coaster, a staple at many other Six Flags parks, is on its way to Magic Mountain.
