Came here for the DC Villains Fest. Had a good time. Show was good. Good performances. Lot of characters out about. Still a lot of construction going on around the park. The new Looney Tunes land looks fun! read more

I would definitely say that coming here to six flags during peak hours and days is a big no no for anyone that doesn't like to be in big lines in the heat. I've came here during non peak days and of course such a thrill being able to ride most rides with only waiting in line for about 20-30 min max. When you are an adult it's different of course because we think of the how big is the line, do I really want to wait in the line, or hmm should I go pee now or hold it stuff teens just don't care. During a hot summer day even an expensive $16 drink is much needed at the Bar area. The season pass is worth it honestly. read more

I have not gone to Six Flags Magic Mountain since my early 20s. I'm in my 40s now. I just wanted to see if I could handle roller coasters being old. I was always curious to compare myself to my elders when they were about this age. I rode X2, Viper, and Tatsu. X2 is still this best roller coaster in California. It felt like I was being ragdolls by the Hulk. I almost lost my eyeglasses mid-loop on Viper. And Tatsu sucked the wind out of me. No nausea and no pain this instance. One of the craziest things about Magic Mountain compared to the 2000s, the younger generation don't like up for X2 as much as the non-looping rollers coasters. I saw more people on family friendly rides than extreme rides. It was the complete opposite back then. So funny. read more

This time I came alone on a Saturday (June 21), and it is obviously definitely more crowded. But, some rides are only a 10-15 minute wait, while others are more like 2 hours. The parking shuttle bus is extremely convenient! Although, I wouldn't have minded walking. It is warm today, so I'd suggest bringing a fanny pack with essentials like sunscreen, tissues, hand sanitizer, etc. Crazanity was less crazy this time, and I actually fully loved the experience this time, unlike last time when I was in fear of my life and wanted to get off at the top. The line for X2 was listed as 150 minutes or so, but it was one of the rides that was closed or under maintenance last time, I think. And the line felt like it was moving and took a lot less time than anticipated. Justice League and Scream are temporarily being fixed today. The employees are friendly, helpful, and it generally feels like they enjoy their jobs here. read more

Had not been back for almost 2 decades, and this Sunday was AWESOME! Staff was friendly, parking was organized, the crowd was happy, the Christmas lights were AMAZING ! So happy I got the annual pass for 2026. There was a special staff meeting that was helpful, cheerful and sweet. Here name is Vi (V), viper ride attendant. Look forward in going back. It was a good hike/walk and the thrill was the BEST! Be there soon! Happy 2026 read more

If this place didnt have so many coasters as it did, I would rate it a 3. If your main goal is roller coasters, this is the place. First of all don't expect the same quality and vibe as Disneyland or Universal Studios and even Knotts. Knotts is slept on, but Knotts is up there IMO. Six Flags Magic Mountain still falls below those in terms of theming and quality. But it ranks first in roller coasters. If thats all you care about, then this place wins. However as with all things Six Flags expect Six Flags things. Food is meh, employees are ehh, and expect rides to go down. Again typical Six Flags issues. I know Knotts is owned by Six Flags now but they are night and day and I hope Knotts doesnt regress being owned by Six Flags. Anyways, this park is huge. It has nice landscape as its not totally flat. Expect to walk a lot with some up hill and down hills. Food like all theme parks are overpriced but the quality is also just not that great. This is home to X2--which is considered one of the craziest coasters in the world. Unfortunately it can be down at any given time. They do have a kids section. They have an attached waterpark as well. So a family can really spend a good 2-3 days here if you wanted to do everything and not feel rushed. Employees are hit or miss. read more

Often understaffed in food sections. Bathrooms feel unclean. The app and ticketing don't seem to work together well. The rides are nice and the price is right (you can get a season for less than a day of Disney). However, busy days, some wait times can be insane. read more

Six Flags Magic Mountain - Amusement Parks Near Me - Valencia, California

I've been a season pass holder for many years. Sunday was my first time visiting the park for Fright Frst in about 4 years. Sadly, it appears that the park traffic is the lowest I've ever seen. There were virtually no lines for the rides or haunted houses. The longest wait was about 20 minutes for a ride. I believe to offset the low ticket sales the prices of food went up. While you pay more money you get seemingly 50% less product. For example, a Dole Float was approximately $19 but it was extremely smaller than it used to be. See photos. Not to mention, the cheese quesadilla was the only big enough to feed a small child and that was about $17. Turkey Leg- We punched 2 Turkey legs. Something was very off from the start. We didn't smell anything cooking on the grill as we were use to smelling. Anyway we ordered to Turkey legs and they were dry, and hard as a rock. However, we tried to eat as much as we could until we noticed that we were eating raw Turkey. Yes, the Turkey on some parts of the legs was not raw. The Turkey Leg Skin was like Pleather, Meat in places was raw, pink and like rubber; turkey was also grayish, hard and dry. After discovering the Turkey was uncooked in places we threw it away. Anyway, I notified one of the workers and he to me to go to Guest Relations. About 30 minutes after the Turkey settled in our stomachs we all felt sickly as if we were poisoned. Couldn't get on another Rollercoaster. As we were leaving the park, stopped by Guest Relations to report the incident. They took down my name and email address and that was it. Long story short..... Stay Away from the Turkey legs and make sure they do the Dole Float properly. Get the Strawberry Funnel Cake read more

I came for horror nights and it was a good time. Lines was only 20-30 mins for mazes which is so great! Honestly the food lines are longer. The High octane wings line was about 45 min wait but it was well worth it. They bring the heat! They had a great show as well right in front at the stage so it made time go fast. Gotta love it here. Parking attendants are also seamless with telling you where to go and getting traffic in and out. read more

Rides are worth the lines! it takes me about 3 1/2 hours to get here but trust me, it is worth it. my personal favorite ride is Tatsu. In the ride Tatsu you hand under the tracks but instead of being upright you are on your stomach. It has many loops and twists and is very fun. I don't think Six Flags is for people who don't enjoy thrills, but I definitely like it. Must try read more

Came in for fright fest this weekend and it was okay. Ride line and maze lines were crazy busy, it might be worth getting priority. Waits for rides were all at least 30 minutes for baby rides and about an hour for all bigger rides We decided to try the drinks, which were surprisingly really good, but pretty pricey Again we saw a rat run through the bushes read more

The place is really fun with friends! The food depends on where you eat can be good. I've tried almost every food place and the freshest food is probably Twisted pies. They have really fresh pizza and breadsticks compared to other Pizza places there. The rides are clean and safe we've been a lot of times and we've never had issues. The lines are very long though so try to go on a week day! read more

Six Flags Magic Mountain - The Sign of Magic Mountain - Amusement Parks Near Me - Valencia, California

I have an immense amount of nostalgia for Magic Mountain, having gone here often as a kid - then bringing my kids here throughout their childhoods. I had been an annual pass holder for well over a decade and finally let my pass go bc everyone is just too busy to make a pass worthwhile (we had a crazy good deal on an amazing pass grandfathered in). We came here during the last day of Fright Fest 2025 for a last hurrah and had a wonderful time! Not having been here for over 2 years, so much has changed - all for the better. It used to be quite ghetto (rowdy teenagers, trash all over the place, literal crime rings running inside the park stealing people's purses when they are left on the side of rides - of which we were a victim too) - all that is gone! Tight security, no one is allowed to bring in a bag bigger than 12", chaperone requirement for kids, park is clean and well organized. Fright fest was SO much fun with great cast of people with great makeup having a good ol time jump scaring everyone! Food is still absolutely ridiculous ($16 for fries???) and having to pay for lockers or leave your purse out in the open for someone to potentially steal, sucks - but I guess the company is trying to make up some of the money from the lower ticket prices. I know the park is struggling so I hope everyone will continue to come and support it so it doesn't turn into a condo development :( Definitely look forward to coming back when we have the time! read more

Wow! It had been over 15, maybe 20 years since I'd been to MM! A LOT has changed! I remember when Colossus was the biggest coaster there and visible from the freeway. Now the newer coaster tower Colossus! They've minimized the wooden frame, integrated metal and renamed it, Twisted Colossus! My adult kids LOVE scary coasters. They said Twisted Colossus was the most fun of all the Coasters at MM! That is even after we rode Tatsu. I didn't get on Twisted Colossus because Tatsu was way too much for me--but definitely a must ride. X2 was closed as well as a few others which was disappointing. We visited on a Wednesday during spring break (April 2nd). If you are tired of the Disney crowds, MM is the place. The most we waited in line was 30 mins for Tatsu and just a bit less for Riddlers Revenge. There's also a large area for kids with rides too. But be sure to check the website to be sure this kid's area is open. If it is, and you have a mix of younger kids and older kids (adults) MM has a lot for everyone. There is a special rate through April--$45! If you pay $24 more ($69), you can purchase the admission/meal combo. This lets you receive an entree and side every 90 minutes! Drinks are not included. This is a great deal since most meals are $20. You definitely get your moneys worth. But, things like turkey legs and bacon/avocado burger is not included. Just stick to basic meal items and you're fine. There's LOTS of walking and a couple steep hills so wear comfy shoes. They have ADA entrances just visit customer service for a pass to skip the line. If you plan on getting on water rides, they have a walk-in drier for a cost. You can fit several people inside to dry from head to toe. It's kinda cool. Park closing hours are currently 6:00 pm. Get there early. By 6:00, you'll be ready to go home! It's an exiting and exhausting day. Most adult rides require a 54" height min. I think summer is a bit more crowded. You can even buy a pass that includes admission their water park! It's a great deal and STILL less than Disney. Depending on where you live, it can be a drive. You just need to plan a good time/day to avoid as much traffic as possible. I'm in Baldwin Park about 50 miles from MM. It took us an hour to get there leaving on a Wednesday at 10:00 am. MM IS one of California's hidden gems for thrill seekers and still affordable to take the family. read more

We booked tickets in advance and had a great time! I believe parking was $30 and we stayed at a hotel nearby so would've been cheaper to just Uber from the hotel and be dropped off. They have covered parking and there is a little shuttle that'll drive you right to the front if you're parked in the back of the lot. We went midweek and it was busy but not packed. There is plenty of screens that show the wait time for each of the rides as well. I don't think any of the rides had more than a 15 minute wait. Our kids had a great time on all of the crazy coasters. There's plenty of spots to grab drinks and food and the all day drink and food passes are great deals! read more

Visited Six Flags Magic Mountain on a Monday around 10:30 AM made the entrance into the park saved a bunch of time. Most rides had waits between 1-15 minutes. Six Flags MM is great for the thrill and fun of it. X2 stood as the top favorite of all the rides. However, I saw a recurring issue with technical difficulties. Several rides throughout the day were closed, and I even got stuck on Goliath mid ride for 10 minutes. Most of the water rides were shut down. Dining experience was better than expected, but thanks to my all-day dining experience ($45) that allowed me to get a meal every 90 minutes. Every meal ran for ~$20, the pass was a good deal if you plan on reaching twice or split with friends. Many of the dining options were closed and my favorite item was the chicken tendies. Worth to note that the turkey leg and funnel cakes aren't covered by the dining pass. read more

Great theme park. Popped in on Monday with the kids. Nice and slow with front row seats on most rides.

We will probably come back. read more

For context, this is for my experience back in January 2024, my second or third visit to the park. For someone who loved thrill rides, it is indeed a coaster paradise (loved Tatsu, Full Throttle, X2 in particular). Couldn't get on Twisted Colossus due to size, barely got on Batman. But that isn't why I'm rating this low. No, I'm rating this low because of how the park responded to lost/found items. Fast forward to 2025 briefly; got a Disney pass, lost some Sunglasses on Splash mountain ride, got them back within the week, despite being lost on an obscure part of the ride. So what happened in January then? I was riding the dueling coasters based on cars. A fun concept, truly. Was really enjoying myself... until we stopped back into the station. I do blame myself for losing my phone after stupidly placing it in my back pocket of my pants; the phone slipped out during one of the loops in the second half of the ride, landing in an obscure part of the park below the tracks. However, I certainly do not blame myself for what happened after, but on the park: Once I got home 60 miles later, I uploaded the phone's location via Find My to the park's lost and found website, along with a link to a POV video where the loss approximately took place. A report was made shortly after. Fast forward to July of that year: I'm at my work's conference, and get a random text... from China. Evidently my phone was actually found at Six Flags, but was sold on some black market to be taken into China. Keep in mind: despite a report being made, no official response was made from Six Flags about the phone's fate. It's partially why I stopped visiting Six Flags altogether after my birthday in June... the Magic and thrill of visiting that Mountain died out, all because one bad customer service experience, and lack of due diligence. I certainly hope the lost/found experience had gotten better since the merger, but in case it hadn't? Let this be a warning, and god help you. read more

As a family we got season passes and it has been so much fun! Loving close helps and the season passes comes with free parking. We also bought the food pass which gives you two meals per day every 4 hours. Most of the food is good but we had one bad experience.

Overall, the park was relatively empty, which I appreciated (Friday). We managed to get on most of the rides. Parking in and out was relatively easy. However, a friend was denied entry because of his shirt, which was a hassle. We had a couple of alcoholic drinks, but they were very persistent in checking IDs even though they gave us wristbands. I recently purchased a season pass, so I'll definitely be back. The food is typical of a theme park, but the rides are outstanding. Some of the staff members were very helpful.

I've gone to every other theme park in California. As far as rollercoasters this park takes the crown without a doubt. However, when it comes to the cleanliness it falls in score. There is no mirrors in any bathrooms and on multiple occasions a shortage of supplies. It does feel like the park needs a bit of an update. The restrooms look extremely old and some of the infrastructure ran down. We had very good micheladas and ate the Full Throttle restaurant. It took a long time to get our food but it was still tasty. Last thing I will note is that the park lacked theme. There were little superhero posts here and there but the rides were nothing special theme wise. Even the batman rides had non functional TVs I could only assume used to play the old show. Regardless I still had a great time read more

We will be back before the end of the year. read more

There's a reason a spot as cool as this can have a 3 stars should be even lower. Their systems have been "updated" to be card only. They can mess up on their end but they will have you redirected and say online only when they should be able to step in and help. Payments taken out multiple times, passes in seperate transactions cancelled over a seperate $10 charge. Stay away spend the extra few bucks and go to Disneyland because their employees are under trained and not equipped to handle any issues for you at the park. Also you ask to speak to a manager and the clerical employees will tell you that you can speak to a manager depending on the question. So unprofessional read more

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. read more

Six Flags Magic Mountain is one of the best amusement parks in California. The park impresses with a large number of roller coasters and a wide variety of attractions for different ages. There are extreme rides for adrenaline lovers as well as calmer areas for families with children. The park is large and well organized. The rides are conveniently located, and there are places to rest and take a break between rides. Many of the roller coasters are truly world-class and provide very strong -- for coaster enthusiasts this is definitely a place worth visiting. The only noticeable downside is the very high prices at the cafes inside the park. For example, a hot dog and a drink can cost around $20, which feels quite expensive for such a simple snack. Overall, it's a great place for an active day out with friends or family. If you enjoy roller coasters and exciting experiences, Six Flags Magic Mountain is definitely worth visiting. read more

Took my grandson to ride roller coasters and ride we did. Wild ride was Wonder Woman in the back car. Great rides were West Coast Racers and Goliath. Got a great photo with characters near the front gate. Had a great salad at one of the restaurants in the park. Parking was close because the park wasn't busy and we went off season. Will be back in spring to continue to get valid from our season passes. Only issue all day was my pass disappeared from the app and it was a bit of an adventure to get it back. Also entrance was a hassle because of pass issues so the person at the gate had to go into a little hit to verify each pass. All the team members we encountered were friendly. Good day. read more

This place is horrible. It began with the 40 minute line for customer service. How a theme park allows a 40 minute line for something that's not a ride, is beyond me. It's very apparent that customer service is not a priority here. None of the employees know anything when you ask them a question. Would not recommend this theme park. I'd rather go to Universal Studios or Disneyland. read more

Purchased the Diamond Yearly pass which is honestly a great deal. You get to visit all year and it's not too expensive. They do offer a monthly payment option which is awesome that way you don't have to pay all out of pocket right then and there. Our first visit (10:30am) we got on Goliath right away with no wait time. By the time we went to the second ride (X-2) we had to wait over 2 hours when we decided to just get out of line and go purchase the flash pass. The flash pass itself is really expensive but well worth the money (initial thought). We did have an issue where we went to the flash pass station and were told by the staff which pass to purchase after explaining we have the diamond pass and plan on coming the entire year. They recommended a day flash pass which we initially didn't notice was only for the day and assumed it was a yearly one. The second visit when we went to go redeem our "yearly" pass we had to go through this whole refund and recharge process to get the correct pass. Visited the park about 5-6 times in the year one of which was during fright fest (which I don't recommend, not worth what you pay for). The flash pass was awesome up until the last 2-3 months (holidays) the lines were really long even with the flash pass. We had to wait over an hour in line with the flash pass which is insane. I recommend you get in line while your timer is going down that way by the time you get to the front it's ready to scan. Every time we visited there was always at least 1-2 rides down or they go down while you are there. We did have an instance where we had to get off a ride due to it not operating but they did give us a front of the line pass for a different ride ( different than flash pass because you enter through the exit line), the staff told us to just pick a ride and she will communicate it to other staff. When we got to the second ride the other staff was really confused and kinda rude when we explained what had happened. He said we were probably just trying to get a free line skip when they were the ones who initiated offered it to us, we had flash passes anyways why would we want a line skip. The experience was great with staff, parking, rides overall up until the end of the year which it's not worth it anymore. Definitely recommend though really fun, I'll definitely plan on getting another pass in a couple of years. read more

I lived in California for almost 7 years and I've been to Six Flags all of two times. And there's definitely a reason for that! Came Memorial Weekend '26 and yes I assumed it would be busy, I expect that. A few issues that I've encountered while in the park. 1. Rollercoaster rides operating with empty seats! I was in line for Full Throttle and saw it being operated with 10 empty seats, yes 10, as others were on the ride as well. A waste of time for the people waiting in line for an even longer period of time. What happened to calling out "Is there anyone available to ride in this car"? Made no sense. 2. Batman ride had NO AIR while waiting in line before getting on. I felt like I was in hell and could've passed out before actually getting on the ride. Was there no vent for the air?? 3. Fast Pass needs to be regulated for weekdays only and/or specific times for weekends/holidays. I stood in line as at least 20-30 fast pass people just came right along. On top of that, I've seen a bunch of high school kids just enter the line and it was a known fact they didn't pay for that pass (was at least 12 kids at the time). 4. Employees need to learn to open their mouths. Had employee come through the Wonder Woman line with a trash grabber on hand and didn't say one word, just used the grabber in our face as a way of saying excuse me. If I wasn't so close to the front of the line he would've gotten slapped into next week. Overall, Six Flags is not that great of an amusement park. Rides are old and food is overpriced. read more
