History of Six Flags Magic Mountain
Magic Mountain was built in the early 1970's by the same people who created Sea World. The park has also featured many firsts and record breakers. Revolution the first ever steel looping rollercoaster and X2, the world's first multidimensional coaster.

When is the best time to visit?
Spring Break and Summer are the busiest and hottest times at Magic Mountain. For cooler weather visit during the Fall and Winter months. Any day except Saturday is a great time to visit, because crowds are much lighter.

Readers' Tips for Visiting Six Flags Magic Mountain

[158 + / 27 -] If choosing Tatsu first, walk into the exit path of Revolution and take the stairs past the actual ride discharge. This will place you past X2 and Viper half way up the hill. Saves time and energy.

[107 + / 5 -] Take advantage of the free admission with Coke can offer! SFMM has been offering this deal since I was in middle school!

[55 + / 1 -] Best days with hardly any lines are weekdays during a normal school year. No need for a Flash Pass and lines are not as long as on the weekends.
