Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California - in the Santa Clarita Valley - 35 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.

Six Flags requires advance reservations to visit, so book your day on the SixFlags.com website or the park app. Then plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before park opening (60 minutes during the summer or other vacation periods), in order to park and be at the front of the line to enter the gates.

Magic Mountain's newest coaster is West Coast Racers, but we still recommend starting with the low capacity Fill Throttle first, assuming you are among the first guests to enter the park. Based upon reader recommendations from before the pandemic, we suggest this ride order:

1. Full Throttle
2. Goliath
3. Twisted Colossus
4. Scream
5. Lex Luthor
6. Batman
7. Justice League
8. Riddler's Revenge
9. Gold Rusher
10. West Coast Racers
11. Apocalypse
12. Tatsu
13. Viper
14. X2 (try to do this around 3-4pm for the shortest waits)
15. New Revolution
16. Helpful Honda Express (funicular to the top of the hill, if available)
17. Ninja
18. Superman
