Six Flags Magic Mountain

Valencia, California

Description

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 X the world's first multidimensional coaster are just a few one of a kind attractions at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

When is the best time to visit?
Spring Break and Summer are the busiest and hottest times at Magic Mountain. For cooler weather vist during the Fall and Winter months.

Plan your day at Six Flags Magic Mountain
If you are planning to ride X, ride it first thing in the morning. X has the longest line in the park, 2 hours or longer. If you're lucky enough to attend on a day when rides are open and operating at capacity, lines are rarely a problem. However, the park often operates at lowered capacity, creating two-hour-plus waits around the park.

What's coming next to Six Flags Magic Mountain?
Six Flags will revamp X, its Arrow 4D coaster, adding a tunnel and light elements. The coaster will reopen in Spring 2008 with the new name, X2. The park will also add "Thomas Town," a new play area themed to "Thomas the Tank Engine."
