Park News - (7/9/10) A new photo trip report from Magic Springs has been posted to Theme Park Review this week.
    (4/8/10) An article about the season opening for Magic Springs mentions that only two rides are not ready, the Magic Swings and X-Coaster. The X-Coaster is currently slared to reopen in Mid-June.
    (3/10/10) Magic Springs has announced a 13-date free concert series for the park in 2010, beginning May 15 in the Timberwood Amphitheater.  So far they’ve announced Mitchel Musso (May 15), Billy Currington (May 29), Pat Green (June 6), Skillet (June 19), Joe Nichols (July 10) and Randy Travis (July 31).
    (8/6/09) Finally we have some good news to report about Magic Springs this year. According to an e-mail sent in this morning, as August 1st, the park has finally opened the last two major rides that were closed: Log Flume and Arkansas Twister. The only major ride still closed in the park is said to be the X Coaster which was reported earlier this year to be closed for the entire 2009 season. What has some curious however is a rumor that the X Coaster could possibly be “expanded” for the 2010 season. Anyone know more?

2010 - Boogie Blast and X-Coaster - (6/14/10) Good news from Magic Springs this past weekend… the park has finally reopened the X Coaster.

    (3/10/10) Magic Springs has announced details about a new “Surf Simulation Ride” coming to the park this summer called Boogie Blast. I belive the Boogie Blast is a Wave Loch Flowrider, which are extremely fun. “The unique design for Boogie Blast was created by surfers and designed to simulate the type of experience loved by fans of skateboarding, body boarding, wakeboarding, skim boarding, and snowboarding.   To deliver the authentic effect, submersible propeller pumps located in the pool below the attraction inject a three-inch sheet of water over the ride surface creating a surfable wave.  Adjustable speed and water flow will make Boogie Blast a thrill for all skill levels.”  This will be a double sided version of the popular surfing attraction, which will be located in the Crystal Falls waterpark.
    As for the other big question for 2010… it has been reconfirmed to me that the park does plan on reopening X Coaster this season, hopefully sometime this spring but an actual opening date has not been set yet. I’m told that they had to fully rebuild the loading station for the coaster to ensure it’s continued safe operation. Look for more updates on this as I get them.
    (2/27/10) We’ve been sent an early rumor claiming that Magic Springs may be adding something “new” this year… something somewhat rare in the US market. Anyone have a clue?  Meanwhile I’ve also heard that the park will offer some new live entertainment options this season including some kind of Bob The Builder show.
    (2/17/10) According to one source, Magic Springs may be working on getting X Coaster up and ready for the 2010 season, as promised. I’ve been told that currently the entire train has been removed from the ride, so we can only hope it’s getting a nice refurbishment before returning to active duty. Anyone know more?
