Beneath Tatsu's pretzel loop sits one of the simplest but greatest rides at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

The Hepful Honda Express; formerly known as the Orient Express and Funicular, is a cable car that takes you simply up to the top of Samurai Summit and back down again. When you have just walked 11-15 miles (my average during my time at Magic Mountain) this lets you sit down and ride in comfort instead of walking up or down the hill.

After a day of walking you two will say "God bless this ride".

The Helpful Honda Express is a funicular; which is a cable car that has two cars. Both are attached to the cable as a counterweight and when one goes down the other one goes up. Both cars are painted up with slogans on the side. The slogan on this one reads "Wham Bam Helpful Tram" which made me laugh.

With most of the park looking spotless it is really surprising that many of the buildings up on Samurai Summit looked like they've seen some seriously better days.

The Laughing Dragon Pizza Co looks like it has been abandoned for a decade. Also the Sky Tower that also sits on the summit is also closed. I thought the top of the mountain was really one of the most naturally beautiful parts of the park. It'd be nice if Six Flags did something with these buildings. Add a flat ride up there (A S&S Swing would look wonderful up there) or add some sort of restaurant as outside of the Ninja and Superman there is nothing at the top.
