Great place to go, they open 10.30am and close at 9 but you can hang out a bit more after that. The Flash pass is an amazing upgrade once you get a hang of it, we saved more than 3 hours of wait time! Truly recommend it! You have burgers, pizza, sandwich, chicken tenders and more! All that we tried was delicious! Rides we Amazing specially X2 and Colossus!

Amazing park. So many fun coasters and rides to choose from. The themes of the rides are phenomenal and match perfectly with the park. The food is great and I recommend buying the day pass and the refillable water bottle, especially on the warmer days. The funnel cake at the entrance is to die for. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, funnel cakes I've ever had. Depending on the day and time, some rides may be an hour or more wait time. However, during the first couple hours after the park opens and before it closes, the ride times go down exponentially.

So much fun! Came with my family and my older kiddos had fun on the big coasters. While my little kiddos had fun in the little kids section. We ate at a nice delicious restaurant and had some drinks. Also did some shopping at the build a bear workshop, I had no idea they had a shop here, so cool! I also did some sweater shopping because I got cold in the evening. Let’s not forget some yummy Starbucks inside the park as well, yes they have a few Starbucks coffee shops inside the park! Staff all over the park were extremely helpful and professional. I will definitely come again with my family and kiddos!

We spent a couple of days here and it was great fun, so many great rides and lots of areas to stop and get a drink. Water refill stations are placed around the park which are great to keep hydrated as it was 34 degrees when we were there. You can’t bring food in, so you’ll have to either buy food in the park or you can go out and back as there is a McDonald’s down the road. We just eat in the park as it was easier. The rides are just insane and it is so much fun, book and go you will love it!

Fantastic rollercoasters, great friendly staff and plenty of food options. Really enjoyed this theme park, my kids wished we could do two days! Plenty of rides for all types of adventurers.

Amazing experience. Loved magic mountain the most than hurricane harbor. Since it has the largest rides in the world and dead scary rides, movies, shows and lots of fun!! The funnel cake was the best to try!! Loved the drop dead ride most in hurricane harbor.

One of the best amusement parks I’ve ever been to! The atmosphere is amazing — music, excitement, and adrenaline everywhere. There’s a great variety of rides, from extreme thrill coasters to more relaxed ones, perfect for kids. Twisted Colossus and X2 were absolutely mind-blowing — truly unforgettable experiences! Yes, there are lines, but everything is well organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The park is clean, with plenty of food spots and rest areas. We spent the whole day there and didn’t even notice how fast the time flew by. Can’t wait to come back!

I’ve experienced theme parks all over the world, but this was my first time at Six Flags — and definitely not my last. 🎢 It was a legendary day. From coasters that shoot you up over 400 feet, to unique horizontal rides and solo trains unlike anything I’ve seen before — this park delivers adrenaline at another level. 🎇 I visited on July 5, and the day ended with an unforgettable fireworks show that truly sealed the experience. 🍔 Food? Surprisingly good. I highly recommend trying the in-park restaurants — much better than expected. ⸻ 🟢 Important Summer Tips: • Wear a hat 🧢 — it gets really hot. • Bring a portable fan — it helps while waiting in long lines. • Use sunscreen ☀️ — essential to avoid sunburn. • Carry a refillable water bottle there are free water refill stations throughout the park. Stay hydrated! ✅ Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a world traveler, Six Flags is a must-visit. Unforgettable. Powerful. Worth every minute.

out of the Six Flags chains, I think that magic Mountain is top-tier, although my former home park of great adventure is way better. I think magic Mountain does have a good variety of rides, however it always seems to be way more crowded than it's East Coast counterpart. You actually have to buy a flash pass to get the most every day since the ride operations are pretty bad. A food service speed is also incredibly slow. it does test your patience to have to wait for food, I think we easily spent an hour waiting for food from Johnny Rockets during fright fest. With the merger from Cedar fair hopefully they will improve their operations and make this a better experience . I am going to sit out the next year for season passes and wait to see if they improve the experience.

Magic Mountain offers a great day of thrills with its awesome roller coasters and fun atmosphere. The park itself is clean and well-maintained, and there's plenty to do for adrenaline junkies and families alike, especially high school students! However, the photo experience was really disappointing. The digital photo option feels overpriced and inconvenient, and it's a letdown that there aren't photographers stationed throughout the park, especially at the rides or scenic spots. The only place we saw them was at the front entry, which felt like a missed opportunity to capture more fun memories. Overall, it's a fun park with lots to offer, but I hope they improve the photo experience to match the rest of the park's quality.

My sister and I came here for the first time on a Monday (November 4), and it was truly the experience of our lives. It was pretty much a perfect day to come because there weren't a lot of people, and we were able to go on 11 different rides. I was surprised that they didn't kick anybody out even though the park closed at 6 PM, but my sister really wanted to look at all of the souvenirs. We ended up buying one each so I got a beer-opening keychain, and she got a pink Wonder Woman hat. Each time, we used my 10% discount, and it was well worth it. Other than a drink, we didn't really buy any food because we wanted to try things outside the park. And we didn't really have much time between breaks. I highly recommend the Gold Pass, since a ticket online costs about $50, and for $85, you have access to the park until the first few days of 2026, along the Speedy parking pass. The whole registration process was simple from purchasing tickets, parking, and navigating. Once we arrived, all we had to do was pay for my sister's ticket which was $30 with the bring-a-friend perk. For my pass, the employee did scan the initial barcode, then quickly took a picture on his phone, and I was able to enter. All of the rides felt very safe except for Ninja, which I would never ride on again because it was so choppy and dilapidated. It was extremely shaky, and it felt like it was falling apart. The other rides, however we're really smooth for the most part. Some of the rides have side head "cushioning", which really hurt when your head swings side to side. So, it's important that you keep your head as still as possible. There was one time that it looked like someone had gone through my things in the cubbies, but nothing was stolen. I would highly suggest storing your valuables in a zippered pocket on your person. I also wore my glasses for some of the rides, and they never fell off. But, contact lenses would probably be a lot more comfortable, although you should definitely bring sunglasses. The water ride left our clothes wet for hours, and my shoes were still damp at the end of the day. I had a poncho in my car that I wish I wore because some people were fully drenched. Thankfully, I had a spare change of clothes. It did get chilly at night, so you should have some sort of jacket or sweater. I can't wait to come back to experience the rides that were closed and under maintenance. It was also extremely informative to read all of the guides online about Six Flags. The one downside is that they don't provide any more paper maps since everything is digital. They do have an interactive map on their helpful app, and one on their website. The wait times were definitely not 100% accurate, so it's best to check the lines.

4+ Came here recently with family - for the roller coasters and for Fright Fest. in terms of the amusement park scale, this place is more suited for the thrill seekers and less so for the family (with little ones) fun aspect. The rides here are fun and much faster than other parks I've experienced...even if I felt like I may have gotten concussed at some point. My nephew is a huge roller coaster enthusiast and been wanting to come here for a long time. My brothers family came to visit and decided to come here as part of my nephew's bday. He was excited for the Fright Fest mazes as well. In terms of the Fright Fest mazes - which begin in the evening around the Halloween time of year - I would say that they have pretty solid and high production value. I like to walk through them and appreciate the design because I feel like I'm probably immune to jump scares at this point in my life, haha. But it is just fun to be in this atmosphere this time of year. All in all, we had a great time. It just happened to be one of the hottest days on record when we went so that wasn't fun in the middle of the day. I would also say that depending on what food you are getting, the lines can move a little slow, so just be prepared to wait a bit. The drink filling stations are very easy and if you get one of the refillable cups, you can pretty much fill up anywhere in the park.

I love six flags it's my favorite theme park highkey. I'll gladly skip knotts or universal or Disney for the looney tune squad at six flags. They've stepped up their game with the Halloween fright fest and adding saw and the conjuring. The food pass is a good investment if you come a few times a year. They recently went solar with parking covers to help generate more efficient energy. Oh and they recently merged with knotts for a new tired member program. I've loved six flags as a kid and glad to see them still around, thriving, and expanding

My daughter had so much fun at Bugs Bunny World! She got to meet Bugs Bunny but she has never seen the cartoon. I haven't been to this park since my late 20s. I loved it back then with all the thrill rides. I faintly remember the little kids area but did not pay much attention to it back then. I do see why people are complaining- the up keep of this park is lacking. The season pass is very affordable and comes with parking so I decided to give it a try. It definitely gets cold at night so bring your sweaters. Food is pricey but just ok. I bought the discounted drink cup with unlimited refills for the rest of the year for $10. The gift store had DC character merchandise in it.

We like to travel around the country visiting different Six Flags parks. We spent a warm fall weekend at Six Flags Magic Mountain and had a lot of fun. The park is quite large with many rides. Unfortunately several were out of service so we experienced long waits at the rides that were operating. Our favorite ride is the X2 coaster with a unique ride configuration that has you on your back looking behind the car instead of forward. You never know where the track will be going next so it is very disorienting but in a fun way. Food and beverage options were pretty much standard offerings by Six Flags, so they were not that great. The park was a bit dirty compared to our visits to other locations. Overall, we had a nice time.

Decided to come and have some fun today. The weather said it would rain it rained for a second but that didn't stop our day of fun. We got in the park around 3 I forgot they close earlier at 6 however we made the best of it. We ran to Batman then was able to ride twisted Colossis, scream which I haven't ridden in years, revelation and last but not least we saved the best for last x2 Great day to come

An overall average experience for the wildly popular So-Cal based Six Flags. My favorite rides of the night were the Drop of Doom and Tatsu. As a season pass holder, would recommend going at off peak hours (after 4PM or weekdays) for the best enjoyment and shortest lines. I only had to wait 15-20 minutes for the best rides and would not be bothered waiting longer given the crowds! Service could be improved, it seems as the employees are often overworked and not particularly helpful to netizens. Highly recommend the oreo funnel cake!

Love coming here for fright feast- the characters are fantastic! Great makeup/ costumes/ effects. The mazes are hit and miss. There's some good food options- just search! Parking- just grab the tram and park wherever. Always get the pass for here and hurricane harbor! Rides are awesome/ lines can get long, pay for the fast pass! Christmas time is beautiful with all the lights here- they have fun activities for kids! There's a handful of fun rides for the kids- awesome to just let them run around!

Spooktacular night with Fright Fest Six Flags Fright Fest Extreme has 11 haunted houses and 9 scare zones, with zombies, witches and more. The Haunted Houses require a Haunted Attractions Pass along with admissions or just get a Bundle ticket that includes both. Experience chilling rides in the dark. There was also a DJ playing music. Some of the actors in the scare zone could have been better; not very scary. Some rides and food places were closed. The app is not the most accurate for wait times. They had the typical attraction food. I was a little disappointed that there were not as many spooky treats and food. They had blood bag cocktails and candy apples. Be prepared to do ALOT of walking and wear comfortable shoes.

I hadn't visited this amusement park in many years and it was completely different when I arrived full on covered Parking which they didn't have last time. When I entered the amusement park, I went to the right and started riding some of the rides. It seemed as though this side of the park wasn't well shaded, and there was a lot of time standing in the sun. The overall look of the park looked a little rundown, a little dirty, not as well kept as say as Disney. For whatever reason it seems the Food Lion are always just as long as the ride. I wish there was a way to speed this up, and the food prices are always overpriced.

I remember going to Six Flags about a dozen years ago. This experience recently was a lot different. Unfortunately, some of the rides were oos or down for maintenance. Half of the concession stands and food places were closed. The rises we did manage to get on were fun, but on a very cold day (cold season) you have got to do better to have items like hohot chocolate in stock and available. I shouldn't be relegated to two stands at the front of the park to find some hot chocolate.

As someone who is terrified of rollercoasters, but has an adrenaline junkie kid, I can truly appreciate the variety at Six Flags! They offer HIGH thrill rides, Kiddie rides, and many family rides that are somewhere in between! Six Flags is cheaper than most amusement parks to get in, and offer lots of "cheap" add ons (like a $30 ish dollar cup that allows you to get FREE refills on drinks all day long -- just do it.. just pay for the cup.. you wont regret it).. they also have a few attractions that cost extra, but give you discounts on other things (ex: the Dare Devil Drop costs $35, but brings the price of the race cars down to $5).. They also have some really great character interactions - when we went, it was Heroes vs Villains night and we got to interact with all the DC superheroes and bad guys! It was so fun to play along with their shenanigans! My least favorite part of the experience was trying to get information from workers - I had to ask 3 different staff members which direction was the fastest to the park exit and the first two absolutely did not know for some reason? Lol.. anyways.. it was a great day!

Love the rides. Most of them open. Love that they have an app for waiting times but most cases its not accurate but expected. Glad they water fountain all around and some of them dispense cold water. Dock of a star because none of the restrooms have fan. None of the walkways have fans with water mist to cool people down from dehydration or over heat. I'm here at the park on 6/23/24 and the weather today is highest 99F but the only shades they have are food stalls which are also outside. I've been sweating nonstop and on some of the waits i feel suffocated. I think they should work on installing fans all around for people to enjoy six flags during summer. Wait times are not accurate. Im not sure how often they update it but two of the rides we went was est 40-90 but we waited less than 10. So don't rely on it too much!

This place has definitely been going down hill the last 10 years or so. Season pass is at a reasonable price. The location is the best weather wise, can get really hot in summer and really cold in winter. Long lines are amusement park norm and it's no different here! Parking is pretty easy and there is a good variety of rides!

If I could do negative stars I would . I'm devastated at how my daughters and friends were treated in the park the lack of empathy towards minors and how you wouldn't give names either from security to the management staff I feel that training needs to be done . Asking for Id from sixteen year olds and not accepting student id's is wild behavior . Insinuating that a staff member has years of experience and would not say something to a child is wild behavior ! My child calling me to tell me her and her friends couldn't get in and still not rectifying the situation is disgusting ! WENDY , Moses , Noel DO BETTER

Forget the fast pass and just buy the single use express options if you must ride something. The program is a complete scam as on a hot weekday in summer the wait times are identical so it provided absolutely no benefit. There were even some rides like Wonder-woman that didn't even have a queue for Fastpass. On top of that quite a few of the good rides were closed. In conclusion it mattered on only one ride, the river rafting one probably saved us an hour so we spent ~$200/person to save an hour of our day on a ride we didn't even have that much desire to ride. Excuse me for ranting as the park really is a great day for all. For the last couple of years we purposely make a long road trip from northern CA to visit. I find the it very clean and expansive. Other parks do a better job of creating a more lively experience with music and decor but the grounds are still nicely manicured and the walk through the park is quite enjoyable.

All and all it's fun. Lots to do. But the park needs some serious remodeling. It's looking pretty rough. It's clean for the most part. But definitely not up to par with the Disney of Knott's

Terrible wait times because the ride attendants would allow large groups from the fast pass to go to the rides, while everyone else waited a ridiculous amount of time. For about every 4 people that waited in the normal line, they allowed about 10+ people from the fast lane. I get the concept of the fast pass lane, but there should only be so many slots allowed per window. This is thought and managed very poorly.

Subject: Concern Regarding Guest Experience Good morning, I would like to bring to your attention an incident that occurred the night of 10/27/24 involving one of your staff members at the Sewers and Souls maze, around 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. As one of the actor zombies was walking toward me and screaming, I became startled and screamed back in a fun and playful manner. Shortly afterward, a young Caucasian female staff member with short blonde hair approached me. She called out to me multiple times, telling me to stop and questioning my actions. She approached me aggressively, and in front of other guests, said, "Please don't scream at our actors. You're here to have fun, not to scare other people." I responded politely, explaining that my reaction was natural, as I was simply responding in a playful way after being startled. She continued to address me in a condescending manner, saying, "I just saw you scream at her," as though I were a child. To diffuse the situation and not ruin my night--an evening for which I paid $110--I chose not to argue further. She then ended the interaction with a sarcastic, "Have a good night, sir." Another staff member with her, a tall Caucasian male named John with shoulder-length brown hair, witnessed the entire interaction. My last visit to Six Flags was when I was 5 years old, and I am now 43, with significant experience dealing with the public. I was disappointed to be treated this way, especially after paying almost $330, only to be reprimanded by a young staff member half my age. I felt as if I were being treated unfairly. Please address this situation with your staff member, as her behavior impacted my experience negatively. I would also appreciate any form of compensation for the way I was treated. I have retained all of my tickets, upgrade receipts, and food purchase records, totaling over $320, and can provide proof if needed. I have also emailed vipsupport@sixflags.com and have yet to receive a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I went to Six Flags 1/5/2024 with a group of 6 people. We arrived in the parking lot 30 mins prior to the park opening. I would like to give 3.5 stars but that's not an option. Parking: $45. I purchased speedy parking online prior to arrival and printed it out. We went into the speedy parking line where the attendant scanned my printed paper and we were able to get in and park quickly. Entry: Since we arrived early, we waited in a jumbled "line" in the little area between the park entry gates and the metal detectors. We filled our stroller with snacks and waters and there were no issues with us bringing them in. Rides: A handful of rides were temporarily down throughout the day but they all opened and we were able to ride. We rode around 15 rides from 10:30am - 5:30pm. Cleanliness: The park is DIRTY! The walkways need to be pressure washed, most walls need a fresh coat of paint and some bathrooms should be refurbished.

Well not much has changed from my last review of Six Flags. We came here on Fridays, one on black Friday and the following Friday for my birthday. But I was met with huge disappointment. We only tend to visit this place 2 times when we come to California. The good news is I was able to ride all of the rides on the 2 days we were there. For Friday, Dec 1, due to the inclement weather, most of the rides were closed 1. X2 2. Tatsu 3. Riddler Revenge 4. Wonder Woman 5. Lex Luthor Not so sure if they used the weather as an excuse for not having a lot of staff, but on Friday it was pretty dead that day so it did not ruin my entire experience. But I have seen the rides open in worst weather than what we saw today on Friday. It was windy, but not too bad If the rides were opened, they usually run 1 train and for Twister Colossus 2 trains which means wait times will be much longer and that is how you get the feeling of lines being longer. Food Wise - the quality has not changed much. We only like going to eat at the Mexican restaurant near Goliah and Lex Luthor. The rest of the food can taste really gross and nasty. I did not see much of the characters coming out as well. We ended up playing arcade games trying to win prizes. They do tend to rig the machines quite a bit as we did win the claw machine, but took us many tries. Holiday in the Park experience is alright, nothing too much to be ooed and awed about as we do enjoy seeing the lights as they do a good job in the DC area. They do not have shows here anymore. They do have the characters, but no looney tunes came out for me. They do have different kinds of food there too, but some are not included in the meal plan and then you have to fork over for over priced food. Anyways I do enjoy riding the rides here especially the roller coasters, but Six Flags has been a hit or miss in terms of rides opening.

Never buy the passes. All the benefits you get are fake! You get to skip the line? No, you have to purchase that for $15 in the app! Skip the lines only on the rides NO ONE gets on. Bring a friend free? Not true either!

It's an amazing theme park, I've been going here since 2018. The roller coasters are awesome, Viper is a little rough but the smoother seats are in the back rows. X2 has a painful ending but keep your head back and you should be fine. Unlike most Six Flags parks, this one opens at 10:30 AM. Early birds! If you are visiting Six Flags Magic Mountain for the first time, start at the back of the park and work your way to the front. Most people tend to go to the roller coasters at the front of the park, like Full Throttle, X2, The New Revolution - Classic, Tatsu, and/or Viper. Superman: Escape from Krypton is usually closed, not surprised. Other rides are usually closed for maintenance issues, but I don't know what's happening at Superman. I hope they open it soon though! Most of the roller coasters (excluding kid roller coasters) are open! The shortest wait time I've seen is at Goliath and Viper, however lately I've seen little to no wait times at most roller coasters. Moving onto food, use the mobile food ordering on the Six Flags app! Amazing and quick. Yes, even the mobile food ordering has a line too. The indoor food place next to Goliath has AMAZING teriyaki chicken, I rarely see it open, however. My membership has an all-year dining pass with a 180-minute cooldown, I am not a big fan of the cooldown. The flash pass operators at roller coasters are usually the reason WHY they have such a big wait. I've seen the flash pass operator at West Coast Racers let only flash pass in for 2-3 whole trains. Before letting a small amount of people in the standby line go to the station for boarding. Stop doing that, it's annoying to the people in the standby line and that is why a lot of people complain about the flash pass. I strongly recommend you to come to Six Flags Magic Mountain during Holiday in the Park operations, most wait times are short and they have smores too! Amazing winter service.

All in all a fun afternoon on some high-thrill coasters! Tip: buy your tickets online to save $$, it works for same-day entry. We paid $72 as opposed to $119 at the gate. I would still expect to spend ~$100 per person because of parking and concessions. Minimal-to-zero wait times on a HOT Sunday (96 degrees). My partner and I would do this strategy again because we're ok with the heat. Wear comfy, walking shoes!! My birkenstocks got uncomfortable real quick. I loved the mango dole whip. $12 but that's amusement park pricing for ya.

Customer service sucks throughout the park. Purchased online tickets for the wrong park and they wouldn't exchange them. Lady was rude and made us buy new tickets. We waited over an hour in member services. Now I have to wait 5-8 days and see if I get refund. Inside the park most of our interaction with staff was also unpleasant.

Who doesn't love roller coasters!? I love coming to six flags to have fun and get my adrenaline pumping. I like to come on week days so the lines are shorter. Most of the employees are friendly and I feel like they take safety seriously. I will say the lines to get in to the park move pretty slowly and aren't super organized which can be a pain. Also I usually don't order food but I went with friends and we noticed if you order food from the stands outside vs the indoor food spots you can end up paying more for less. My friend ordered dipping dots from an outside stand ($11) and after he paid the employee realized he didn't have the flavor he wanted. The size of the dipping dots was crazy small for $11 and when we went into an indoor place they had different sized dipping dots for less money and the flavor he wanted.

Extremely unprofessional and unhelpful staff. I lost my phone and spent the holiday going back and forth between guest relations and lost and found because they don't have a proper system in place. I told them I know the exact location of the phone and I can track it with my watch or someone can take the watch and get it for me and they still refused to cooperate even though I told them I will not be able to work or even access my laptop without my phone. Everyday I call them and I try to tell them the exact location and I get the same response " If we find it we find it and if we don't we don't, we are not gonna track every phone" so my 900$ is just hanging there for 3 days because they wouldn't do just a little effort to retrieve it.

I am a season pass holder at this six flags and I would definitely recommend it if you want to have some fun, and also love roller coasters. The only disappointing thing is some of the prices are very outrageous and don't make sense. I understand amusement parks have higher price tags, but an example, I bought dip n dots from the cart outside and it was about quarter of the size of the ones in the buildings and it was still more expensive! If you are also a season pass holder there is a problem with the employees adding your discount, so make sure you double check.

We bought season passes. Both times we've visited, half of the thrill rides were closed for whatever reason. Their app doesn't say when a restaurant is closed, so you trek from one end of the park to the other, expecting it to be open. Nope. All 3 restaurants we were interested in trying are closed today. None were listed as closed in the app. The only food places open are pizza, chicken fingers, or burgers. Restrooms are also not listed as closed in the app. If the app can be updated with ride-wait times, it can certainly be programed to list whether a restaurant or restroom is closed. Are all of these annoyances first-world problems? Absolutely. *AND* we will be saving our money, not visiting again. SO-CAL has plenty of better-run amusement parks like Disney, Knotts, Universal, SeaWorld, etc. They will be getting our business and money on future trips.

Horrible experience. Went Saturday10/ 12/2024. They changed getting into the park. Had to wait almost 2 hours to enter the park at 12pm. Bought the prestige pass and two employees told me I had to still buy the fright fest ticket. Turned out I didn't. Then took over an hour to eat. The mazes were horrible, not even scary. Some were just open rooms with nothing in it. The trams didn't even work. It was a horrible experience

After many years as a season pass holder, it finally came time to cancel - my boys are college age and we're just not going. Oh, what's that, your website says only way to cancel is via website? Ok... oh, what's that? Trying to log in requires account # and confirmation # from original purchase (eight years ago)... By some miracle I get that information and STILL can't log in. And since no way to cancel except by website, which they're making unuseable. Get re-routed to this same screen every time. Many many minutes on phone and voice trees, no luck so far. So disappointing after all this time to find it's easier to cancel a gym membership than Magic Mountain...

My 2nd yr buying a season pass. Today I had to! I wanted to be entertained all day and workout. So this park is perfect! $11 a month membership for 1 year is only $120 ish... & it includes so much! I went on a Thursday 11:30am and there's no wait time for rides, maybe at the most 5-10 mins, most of the rides are open, only a few aren't and there's sooooo many rides! I got a lil dizzy after some but only down side is there isn't a shuttle to drive you from the parking lot to the front anymore! Upside is that some of the rides send you a text message of the video tapping when you are on the ride for free! Otherwise I went to eat at Whole Foods for lunch and saved money cuz their meals cost $20 each... I brought a backpack full of stuff too! They let me in.... I'll be here all today till closing hahah

We had a birthday visit at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Hurricane Harbor water park. My grandson Birthday Party on 8/10/24. We purchased two cabanas as well two birthday package deal. Paid in Advance online. We had 12 Guess. We arrived at Six Flags right when they opened at 10:30 am. Our cabanas were the most disgusting, dirty, unsanitized cabanas. The supervisor Jose of the cabana section help me clean. Jose supply me with Lysol spray and Lysol wipes as well. He went to the gift store picked up the large beach towel so we could cover the couches and the chairs with them in the cabana. As being the grandmother I went right in start cleaning the cabanas. Jose was very helpful. The night crew supervisor in charge of the cleaning of the cabanas definitely needs serious discipline and a serious write-up. We tried to speak to whoever was in charge. No Help!!

I love roller coasters and six flags has the best ones!! I recommend going on a weekday because it's less crowded and you can get on a lot more rides.

Yet another place I can't believe I've never reviewed so YOU, Magic Mountain, get to be my 800th review. It's literally been 20 years since I last went to Magic Mountain. Yes, 2004. Back then, the park was not the cleanest place, had constant rumors it was going to shut down and become a housing development, and never felt super safe to go to even though I loved all the coasters they had (at that time!) I get married, land a job at Disney, and starting having a bunch of kids and thrilling roller coasters get replaced by the free option of taking the kids to Disneyland which during their young years made a lot of sense. However, now I have a 13 year old who loves fast rides and has gone to Magic Mountain with her friends and so this past Sunday, I find myself walking through the entrance gates to a familiar yet vague memory of this park. I can say, it has changed for the better! Honestly, I couldn't believe how clean, spacious, and desirable this park seemed. The last 20 years have been good to this park and rarely does it go this direction. There are so many roller coasters that so much of the park you are walking beside, underneath, and towards some sort of coaster. Surprisingly, it's not super loud. As to date (March 2024) the park has 20 roller coasters which makes it #1 for number of coasters around the world. Goliath, X, X2, Tatsu, are all great and many of the others a re a lot of fun too. There are a lot of food options (I'm a sucker for funnel cake so that naturally was my first stop as it's literally beside the entrance.) Since this park is more for adults, I think they need to incorporate a wine / adult beverage area and some foodie type dining experiences somewhere here. Maybe in that useless area by the Batman ride that just has some random looking small-town facade buildings? My biggest beef: They charged me $40 for parking (more expensive than D-Land or Universal) and had this massive uneven, unpainted, hodge-podge asphalt parking lot with no tram service, and out in the sun. Really? Hopefully they are saving up for a parking structure to be built?! Other than that, I got a season pass for $79 which is basically just entrance and 5% off food, but impressive that it was so cheap. All that to say, I'll be coming back!!

I do not recommend getting the season pass. They scam you. I recently purchased and they said each pass has (4) tickets for guest at the price at $29.99. There was no blackout dates. The only requirement was that it had to be used before Labor Day. I went to magic mountain recently and they said the terms changed. It's a run around to get in contact with corporate. I am very upset. Also, please note they are now a cashless theme park and they charge fees for every transaction when using your card which is crazy!

My kids first at Six Flags.. very disappointed at all. Some of the thrilled ride that they wanted to go are closed.. and some they only have one cart each ride.. like to Goliath instead of 2 they only open 1 cart so it takes 3.5 to 4 hours and the line is not that long.. Our first ride was supposedly X2 but it was closed, so we start running to Tatsu just to make we sure we're secured 1 good ride for the day. After we went right away to Ninja, but guess what??? It's closed again they said it MIGHT open at 12 or 1 pm. Full throttle short line, so we start making line, but right after we get there, people start leaving 1 by 1, so we said good for us less people more faster, almost 45 minutes and we're not moving. We ask the people who's leaving if it's closed or what, and they said they ONLY have 1 cart again. It will take more time again for that ride. The estimated time on the TV screen all over Six Flag is not accurate. You need to doble the time if they said 30 minutes it's actually 1 hour or more.. superman is closed. The apocalypse is closed. Lex Luther oper late. Twisted colossus open late. We went on weekdays, so fewer people that the weekend, but the fewer people, the fewer the rides are open.. The store to buy souvenirs most of the t-shirt and sweater and jacket mostly have 2xl or 3xl for adult sizes only. they only have kids size. And the most very disappointed at all is the refill for drinks. They closed it and opened around 3 pm already. I think we spend more time making line to get a refill than making a line for the ride. Overall, I'm very disappointed..

Disorganized, poorly maintained, and understaffed. No printed park map, just a digital map with a badly designed UI. There is no system for anything. Lines and queues mean nothing. People cut in line and there is no staff around in the lines area to do anything about it. Also, the current wait time for each ride that shows in the app is not accurate. Forget trying to plan your day to fit everything in. Prices are high on everything, even for an amusement park. Disneyland is expensive, but there is security and an orderly system for things. At Magic Mountain, 2 burger meals costs $53 at Johnnie Rockets and the "line" is more of a stampede. Parking is $25, $45, or $70 depending on how close you want to get. A bottle of Smart Water is $8. A 3-oz Dixie Cup of mediocre Chardonnay is $15. There are no phone charging stations even though they force you to use your own phone all day to self-guide around the park. It's not possible to finish the day with a working phone. On the roller coasters there are cubbies for your belonging while you're out on the ride but staff does not watch at all. While you're out, the group of cars coming in before you could easily walk with your stuff. The restrooms were OK for cleanliness during the day but by nighttime they were an ish bomb with no soap or toilet paper. Forget it. Never again.

I haven't been to Six flags in a really long time. I have to say it has gotten so much better. I'm noticing alot of improvements. They have solar panels in the parking lot now which is great. More shade. Word of advice, if you can buy your ticket online you'll save a bit. It's more at the gate. Park is alot cleaner; that entails the restroom and the whole park. Alot of different options for food now. The lines have gotten alot better. More options available to check out the length of time you may spend in the line. Just like everything else it's not 100% accurate because things happen but definitely helpful. You can check wait times for rides via the app and around the park. So many cool rides now. My favorites are: wonder woman, west coast racers, twisted colossus and tatsu! I would say they have lengthy waits but I think wonder woman that tends to be the longest wait but 1000% worth it! I would say flash pass is extremely convenient. They have 3 tiers. It is pricey especially if you have more people in your group but I would say having the flash pass this last time made my time here the best it's ever been! So if you have the money to splurge on it I highly recommend. Just hope they don't raise the price any higher Hahah. The one recommendation I would give is I notice they have large fans near the game play and eating areas, I think putting some of those near the rides where you wait somehow would be nice especially on hott days. Even small water spritzers would be great!. Other than that I think I'll be back soon. I'm glad Six flags has made some positive changes. Also found out that if you are a Diamond Member you get access to ALL six flags theme parks and Water parks. Seems their are more perks for Seasonal holders and different options. So if you Love Six flags I'd look into it.

Calling all thrill seekers!! Ditch Disney and raise your flags Six Flags, Magic Mountain is hands down amazing!! Pro tip- if you are doing multiple days in the park, go grab the season pass deal from a California Costco! This comes with parking and 4 skip the line passes!! Way worth it. Also comes with priority entry into hurricane harbor, the adjacent water park. Go early!!! Park opens at 10:30am, but they start letting people in before, and the line is long. Avoid Saturdays unless you have a flash pass, and hit "X2" right when the park opens. Also if you hear "Superman" (you will hear it!) then run over, 'cause that ride shuts down all the time. We got so lucky as we were the last group to ride before it was closed for the rest of the weekend. Hurricane harbor is more kid friendly, but there are some great slides for kids and an awesome wave pool. Thanks for the great time Magic Mountain!

Find Nathaniel. This man was a living legend at Six Flags today. Never have I been more invigorated for a ride than when Nathaniel was there to pump us up. He was working at Twisted Colossus around 11 today. Overall good park but phenomenal man Nathaniel give him the world. Also none of the Batman rings fit me for that reason they receive a 4.

My dad and I love Six Flags. We got the annual pass when it was on sale that included parking (otherwise $40 as of November 2023) and we come every other month or so. The flash pass is pretty expensive but coming during the fall/winter makes for a better experience since there seems to be less people. Some quick thoughts on the rides: X2 - best ride ever. 100% go on this ride but know that the line may be about 3 hours. Tastu - 2nd best ride in my opinion. It is so fun and smooth. Crazanity - this rounds out my top 3 rides although last time we were on, a kid did barf. Twisted Colossus - in my top 5; it's scarier than you would expect. Viper - an underrated ride; I have a soft spot since this was the first thrill ride I went on as a kid. Batman - this ride goes pretty quickly but is a good medium thrill ride Riddler - another medium thrill ride that has the gimmick of standing up Wonder Woman - one of the newer rides that's on a single track - it's fun but the line is always so long West Coast Racers - for whatever reason, this is the ride where most people cut which is so annoying Apocalypse - it's the wooden coaster that is much faster than you would think Drop of Doom/Superman - these rides have been closed each time we've come this year but they're fun (Superman more so than the Drop of Doom)

finally get a chance to review six flags. first things first. if you live near six flags or north of six flags this review is not for you. Go and enjoy this park and ignore the rest of my review. for the rest of you who live in southern california you have a lot of amusement parks to choose from, and this one is not easy to get to if you live south of los angeles. this place is strictly for older kids and other thrill seekers who love roller coasters. This park hosts a nice plethora of big insane roller coasters. These are far bigger and far more intense than anything you will find in the other major theme parks. Wait until your kid is at least 5 ft and above so they can go on all of them. Do not bring small kids to this park as they will be not only mad they can't go on the big rides but there are not a lot of ride options for the smaller kids. food is ridiculously expensive here so bring what you can and plan accordingly. now for the parents, grandparents and small children keep this in mind. This is a very large park. The walk from the parking lot to the front gate is long and goes uphill. The vast majority of the park has uneven terrain so you will be trekking uphill in order to get to other areas of the park. Take lots of breaks and wear comfortable shoes. The average person of unathletic means will definitely be tired at the end of the day from all that hill climbing. So if you keep all of this in mind and heed my warnings than you should have a fabulous time.

Six flags really disappointed us yesterday! We were so excited because it wasn't too crowded so that was great. The reason I was so annoyed is that they were so understaffed! We waited over 30 minutes in line to buy food. Every single spot has about 2 employees. We waited longer to eat than a ride. Time wasted !!! Rest rooms smelled like urine! Very dirty and I'm sure they didn't have enough people there either. Not good!

This past weekend, we went to Six Flags Magic Mountain for a friend's birthday. She loves roller coasters and so does my partner. However, on the other hand, I don't like roller coasters one bit lol We decided to do the event called "scream break" because I thought that would be enjoyable for everyone. This is a scary, Halloween like themed event starting at 7:30pm at night. It's called scream break instead of spring break. The target audience is naturally kids who are out of school for the week. That being said, I think the event is good for just that. Fun for teenagers but subpar for adults. The event included two "scary" mazes and a few "scare zones" throughout the park. The mazes were not scary at all. It was done very low-budget like. Seemed cheesy and unsatisfying. These scary mazes are nothing like Knotts Scary farm or Universal Studios Halloween Horror. Same goes for the scare zones. The scare zones consisted of either one person walking back and forth on stilts, or a couple guys wear knee pads sliding back and forth on the ground in front of people. Not scary. And done pretty poorly. There were some rides open and my friend and partner enjoyed Goliath, Batman, and Colossal. Perk of the scream break was that the lines were shorter and less people in the park. The longest wait was about 20 minutes for a ride. So that might make it worth it? Overall though, the park seems dirty and run down. Oh and parking is $40 and you have to walk forever just to get to the entrance.

I'll start with a positive: I never have to go again. Augh, it is such a shame; it could be so good. In summary, the rides at Six Flags are genuinely top-notch, providing thrill-seekers a significant adrenaline rush. However, the overall experience falls massively short due to gross operational inefficiencies. What a tragic place. It's an old complaint of amusement parks: it takes an eternity for everything. Getting in, getting on a ride, getting a sandwich. Now, you might say waits are inevitable. That's true, but the thing with Six Flags (at least when we visited) is that it was completely avoidable. When we visited, there weren't that many people. For example, I was in line for food with about 50 people. That may seem like a lot of people, but at Disney, that would be a snap. They'd attack that line like a well-trained F1 pit crew. They would have a bunch of cashiers and kitchen staff, all working in harmony to get people in and out in a few minutes. At Six Flags, it took well over an hour. It took that long because they are so woefully understaffed and comically uncoordinated. They only had two people working!! Now, you might think it could be an anomaly, and perhaps we just got unlucky; maybe a few people called in sick on the day of our visit. This is unlikely because it was the case at every food vendor all over the park. Plus, you could tell by the staff's look that this was pretty standard operational procedure. They weren't the least bit flustered by the throngs of angry customers. Nope, they'd lived it on the daily. And, of course, after you've endured the line and are thanking your lucky stars for not going viral for tossing your tray in the air and ranting against a backdrop of flying mac and cheese and BBQ tri-tip, the food is absolutely inedible. Like, so so wrong. I mean, mac and cheese that is grey and indistinguishable from the potato and gravy kinda bad. Similarly, wait times for rides are loooooong. Again, it's not about the volume of folks in the standard line. In this instance, it's due to their "flash pass" system that offers different levels of line skipping. As a result, what looks like a relatively short line of regular ticket holders turns into 90-minute plus torturous wait. Again, it's about operational execution. It seems deciding how many regular line folks get in versus the flash pass holders is entirely arbitrary and at the whim of whoever is working the front of the line. It's hard to blame staff members. With three tiers of flash pass holders, it must be hard to keep things straight and far easier to go with whoever is screaming the loudest at the front of the line. So, you may be wondering what warrants the three stars. Well, for thrill seekers, the rides are top-notch, like insane. The kinda good that gives you heart palpitations just watching from the ground as little bodies get flung around in every imaginable way 80 feet up the air. If you like speed, falling, twisting, and turning until your head is spinning and your insides are on the front of your t-shirt, then this is the place for you. However, you need to do yourself a HUGE favor and save up to spring for preferred parking and a platinum flash pass to skip the lines. Also, come with a full stomach and perhaps a sandwich and bag of chips strategically tucked into your underpants.
