All things Magic Mountain

Battle for Metropolis is the best shooter ride in the state. It is far better than Buzz Lightyear or even the crappy Spider-Man ride.

Did you actually have it work? When I went in July they were only running a bare minimum of cars and half the guns in our car didn't work (literally two of them had bags over them). Throw in a ridiculously bad operation (preshow not being utilized, they were treating the single rider line like a fast lane for some odd reason), and I hated every second of that ride.

As a working ride, it is far superior to Buzz. Back in the days when I went to MM, it worked all the time. They used the preshow and kept people outside. I can't talk about the last six months or so. MM maintenance is not the best but neither is Disneyland's. Hopefully with the two year park upgrade they are starting they will put it back together again.

Better than 90's Buzz and Disney's notorious nothing burger of a Spider-Man attraction?

That's like Red Lobster advertising they have better seafood than Denny's.

I haven’t been to Magic Mountain in years but from what I remember I think I’d lean towards this view, with one caveat. I found the screen based animation lacking.
