People need to stop with the 1 star reviews for their lost phone. It is not Magic Mtn's fault that you bring your phone on the ride and don't secure it. Yes when you go upside down, your phone will fall out of your pocket. I bring zippered sweater/shorts for this exact reason!! I'm happy Six Flags has been painting and improving the park. It's sad how mismanagement has let the park get so run down. I'm also happy they are working on the kids area. In order to attract more families, this area was in sore need of improvement. However, I do not agree with the removal of RIDES to put in playgrounds. I didn't get a membership for a playground- that's for free in my neighborhood. I bring the kids to Magic Mountain for the RIDES!! Please add more kid rides, not remove them.
Haven't been to Six Flags in maybe 15 years or so. Purchased my tickets online , $65 each. Drove down from my hotel in El Segundo to the park. Parking $40, not bad and compares to most theme parks. Covered parking with solar atop. Shuttle to the entrance but I opted to walk. Park wasn't too crowded and ride wait times were very reasonable. Overall we had a good time. Funnel cake was good.
OK, could this place be cleaner? Yes for sure. Could the workers and security enforce the rules better? Yes..... without question Could the rides literally be any more fun? Not a chance.... I have to say, I really hate the Six Flags in Vallejo, it's a pile of ****... This one though, I thoroughly enjoyed. The rides here are just fantastic that's for sure, and there are a surprising amount of dining and drink options all through the park. The food was decent, it is $$$ though. The rides are what really shines here.... Goliath, Tatsu, X2, WOW... I only almost passed out like 5 times that day, no big deal....... We actually had such a good time here, that we will never go to Vallejo again, even though it's close, there is really no comparison between the 2 parks. Let's talk critiques though. For one, it's dirty, very dirty. Six Flags needs to do some serious work in the maintenance and cleaning department. The amount of trash everywhere is a bit ridiculous, even inside gated areas, and the amount of spiderwebs and gum and trash in every queue is a bit much. Also, the workers really couldn't care less about smoking, vaping, line skipping, etc, and that really is a bit ridiculous. The first ride we got on the attendants pulled my daughter off the ride to check her height, she is freshly tall enough to ride which is one of the reasons we went in the first place. She walked up to the board, was clearly over the height limit, and they then went OUT OF THEIR way to get her under the limit before sending us away. "Take a deep breath" "Hold your breath" "look forward" "look this way" until they were able to get her height under.. It was pretty bizarre and they sent us to customer relations to "get her actual height and a wristband." Guess what... she was tall enough.... Got our dumb wristband and went right back into the same queue, with a longer line. If you are going with a child that is just at the height mark, save yourself the hassle and walk straight through the gate to customer relations, and get your kid a wristband.
Had a great visit at Six Flags Magic Mountain! The rides are perfect for teens and adults, and the lines weren't too bad during our visit. What really stood out was how friendly and welcoming the employees were--they were helpful, informative, and made the experience even better. We were also pleasantly surprised by how good the food was at the bar/restaurant area. The burger and wings were both delicious! I asked for the wing sauce on the side so I could share with my kid, and the sauce was REALLY good--honestly better than some places we've tried recently back in our hometown. Overall, a really fun day with great rides, great staff, and unexpectedly tasty food. We would definitely come back again!
I was last at Six Flags with my roller coaster club and had an incredible time! We had extended ride time on Twisted Colossus and Full Throttle. I must say the team members for both rides were phenomenal! This park is always a blast, especially for thrill seekers. If you love high intensity roller coasters, this is the place for you! You can also get in touch with your inner child and enjoy Looney Tunes characters.
I have been here so many times since 1990 but somehow never wrote a review. Now I'm taking my teenagers to enjoy the rides since I don't anymore ... hahaha the park is very nicely organized, clean and right now they have a spring special Gold annual pass for around $90 I purchased it for us hoping we will come more often in the next 12 months. It includes parking and access to a few other parks. Great deal. The only problem is the food sold here. Very very bad quality and super expensive. I guess they have to somehow make up for the good prices they offer on admission. A bottle of water is $7 ... I got a turkey leg for my son for $18 and gave it right back telling them it not edible. You can't even bite into it it was so dry and horrible. So they replaced it with a cheeseburger which was somewhat edible. From now on we won't be eating here. We will have breakfast then enjoy a couple of hours of fun then go home and eat at home. Or stop by In & Out on our way home. Over the years we have tried different options at the park and everything was bad food. The rides are super fun though. My sons love the Goliath, the X2, the Tatsu, the Full Throttle and a few more. A must every time. I also learned that we can go to knotts berry farm as well with these annual passes since it was bought by six flags recently. How fun.
I just got a dining plan and I have been trying the different food places in the park. Unfortunately overall I'll have to give the food a low rating. With the dining plan it's still a great value. For $160 you can get 2 meals at every visit spaced out 4 hours apart. They do have a variety of options to choose from. On slow days the food comes out pretty quickly but it's often cold and not fresh. On busy days it can take 30 minutes to an hour to get food. Look at the photos for reviews of each food item.
Decided a last minute trip to Six Flags today. I haven't been for a while. If you're a first timer here and love Disney, don't compare! I don't mean that to downgrade this park because I love it but it's different. We're Gold Plus Annual Passholders and it's a legacy pass that's no longer offered. It allows us to go to any Six Flags, get a drink cup for the year, parking, discounts, etc. I love them for legacying us into this pass for paying during COVID and not cancelling. It shows they valued us unlike Disney who cancelled our passes and created a new program that offered you less for more. Parking is $40 and they don't take any cash - credit/debit only. Important to know when planning the day. Today, the park was not crowded. The longest wait was X2 with 30minutes. It was a perfect day to ride everything and enjoy it without large crowds. They have a dining pass that can be bundled with your ticket which helps with cost. Depending on the one you get, you can get a meal every 90min and drinks are included. They serve alcohol here and will actually give you a special wristband to avoid continuously being carded. The food is not horrible, it's ok and gets the job done while here. They do have a nice alcohol list to choose from. Some of my favorite rides are Goliath, Viper, and Riddler. I will let you know viper is rough on the head so if you're tender on your ears you might want to pass. Goliath has a steep drop but no loops. Riddler, you do stand on. They have character photo opportunities, especially when you first walk in. We caught Daffy & Bugs when we first walked in. If bringing littles you're still ok. They have a Looney Tunes area for littles with mini coasters, a climbing area, and quite a few rides. Definitely check it out. It's a bit of a drive depending where you are but worth it.
This was my second time visting this park. I couldn't review my first trip as we were only there a short amount of time when the park closed due to the fires in the area. It took 12 hours to get back to where l lived so I have avoided LA like the plague since that trip (well over 10 maybe even 15 years) Bought the Prestige pass and had to come here to activate the pass before using it at other parks. In addition to purchasing this pass we purchased the all parks drink pass (1 drink every 15 minutes) $36.99 and the all parks upgraded drinks pass $53.99 (includes icees and hot cocoa every 15 minutes). For myself I had purchased the all day dining meal which includes food or a snack every 90 minutes for $44.99. The first time I redeemed it I got the drink bottle, which can be filled every 15 minutes and is good through at least the end of 2025. Was super surprised the food is good? Lines for food can be long and with the dining pass I could not order ahead. Below is what we got: 1. Primo's Pizzeria-got a slice of pepperoni pizza and breadstick. It was for my 9 year old who ate some of it. Husband and I took a nibble he said it tasted like Costco pizza. I thought it was meh as well. (I forgot to take a photo). This had the shortest aka no line when we got there. 2. Chicken coupe-got the chicken tenders and fries. Both were hot, crispy and tasty. This had a few people in front of us. 3. Max'd Out Mac & Screaming spuds-long line, took forever. They would have one person order, get their food to them, then call up the next person. I got the loaded potato tots. They had beer cheese, bacon, green onions on them. They were cold when I got them but I was hungry so I ate part of them. Husband tried and was not a fan either. 4. Food Etc-came here at the end of the night (it was one of the few places still open) and got the nachos. They had what looked like chili on them, beans, jalapeños and pico de gallo on them. They were a lot better tasting than they looked. The rides. We got into the park at about 11:30am after parking and dropping our dogs off at the kennels (will write about that at the end). The line to get in was long but we got to use the "fast" entrance which was not fast. Where we would have been in the line over we would have got in faster. We headed to the left after walking in and that put us near: Viper which kidlet couldn't ride, X2 which had a long line and the new revolution classic. We rode that and grabbed food. After that ended up in the back corner of the park to ride Apocalypse. The ride itself is ok but the wait to get in is long and it super overstimulating. You are essentially in a tin metal tunnel (I had no cell reception at all) it is dark, the only light is the exit sign and the glowing red lights and the "tvs" on. My 9 year old tolerated it well but it was a lot of noise too. I wouldn't go on this ride again unless I had a fast pass. Gold rusher-line was not long but it is a rough ride. My 9 year old loved it though. X2-this was intense. As a person who has rode roller coasters as long as I was tall enough too, it was a lot of sensory things going on that I can't even say if I liked or disliked the ride. I will need to ride it again. My 9 year old found it intense as said they will not ride it again. My husband was too big for this ride. Twisted colossus-rode this in the dark. My 9 year old LOVED it. I enjoyed the ride aspect but as a person who is on the chunky side with a mom pooch this ride was brutal. My husband who is also stocky was too big for this ride. Ninja-it broke down, then reopened and we rode it. It is an older coaster and not super thrilling but was an interesting concept (you ride in a "car" under the rail. Goliath-this was a good ride. Rode it at night and used our 1x flash pass quick queues on this. It was not easy to determine how to use these. We had the staff working the flash pass entrance explain it. She did not seem happy or wanting to help. Magic mover-this gets your from the lower part of the park to the upper level of the park without having to walk uphill. It is very loud and it gets to be standing room only and jerks so brace yourself. Roaring rapids-we got wet. I don't remember how wet we got on this. We shared the ride with others and I feel we all got wet a decent amount. I liked that this version (unlike Knott's) has a place to put your feet up so your shoes don't get soaked. Teen Titans Turbo spin-kidlet and husband rode this. It had no line and there were very few people on it. They enjoyed it. That was all the rides we were able to ride that day. It is partially our own fault as we had no plan we just kept roaming from place to place. If we had been more intentional we might have got to ride more. The day we went was a long day. It was a 3 hour drive there, 3 hour drive back and we were at the park from 11:30-8:45pm. We have the season pass and will be back in the future.
Came here since we have Prestige passes from Knott's which includes admission to Six Flags. We arrived before the park opened and our passes include Prestige parking, just like at Knott's. We were able to get into the park with our passes and past the front gate to a holding area since we were there at 9:50 am and. When we got there, they were doing trivia at the rope and just happened to stumble in and play. The host, Darlene was asking the crowd trivia questions and keeping score and my friend won one of the top 2 spots and got our party a front of the line pass to any ride EXCEPT for X2. We chose Tatsuuuuu! It's been years since I've been here so this was really a test for me to see if I could hang and I'm happy to report I could, but just barely. This review is really a reminder to myself to hydrate and start with a Liquid IV right when I get there, plan to eat food and take snacks throughout the day. The food thing is strictly for energy replenishment not because I'm hungry. Also, however tight the restraints are, make them tighter because I need to be taped to the seat and not bobbling around, which was the case for a few rides. Drank Powerade strictly for electrolytes because I normally would not drink this, but it came in clutch at 3 pm when the sun was beating down and I was in line waiting for Full Throttle to creep back into the station after failing to clear the first loop. One ride I would never do again is Riddler's Revenge (read my review on why over there). This visit changed my opinion of the park from 2009. The employees are on it and the branding is consistent and positive throughout the park. It's clean, there's no weird smells, the employees are nice and not weird or full of themselves, there's management walking throughout the park and engaging with guests and it's much more relaxed than Disney or Knott's. The one thing I remember from previous visits were the ride operators of the various rides and their little ride specific announcements or tag lines. Like Viper I remember, "Welcome to the VI-PERR!", Tatsu's call, "TAT-SUUUUUU!," Ninja, "Hi-Ya" x's 3. I also love that everyone from the tram driver to the last ride operators would always end with recommending another ride in the park. It's little things like this that stick out. Also, the trivia at rope drop, with a front of the line pass as a prize, why has Disney not done that all this time? I witnessed one breakdown happen at Full Throttle and the entire team went into action right away and got the ride back up and running with a line full of people and management showed up pretty quickly. Everyone knows what they're doing, they're not standing around talking and ignoring guests, if anything they're way more engaged with guests! As for food, we have the dining plan through Knott's and it worked here and we were able to get meals every 90 minutes as opposed to every 4 hours at Knott's. I read a little bit about what's good here and the Ace BBQ place was mentioned so we tried that spot. It's good for in the park food. I think Knott's Boardwalk BBQ is better, but Ace's tri tip was edible, their vegetarian baked beans were SO GOOD and the roll was a roll. We tried the pizza place by the X2 entrance and that was surprisingly tasty and piping hot. I'd say it was on par with Costco pizza, if not better and the breadstick was good too, better than the one at Prop Shop pizza at Knott's. I'm semi-retiring from this park until I can get into shape, but overall we had a very good time here yesterday, 01/31/26. It's less hassle than Disney or Knott's, the employees were great,it's clean, and less crowded. I'd say the most we waited in line for a ride was between X2 (45 minutes) and Ninja, with a front of the line pass (30 minutes). Way less time than Disneyland and with a greater pay-off. Obviously if you're a thrill seeker this park is a MUST and if you're visiting the California for the first time, be prepared for back to back intense rides, but make sure to take breaks and plan out some of the slower rides in between. Also remember lots of power ade or water and a solid snack to hold you over.
Review #27 for 2025 3.5 stars It's been a loooooong time since I have been to 6 Flags, at least 10 years. I remember coming here back in high school and even through some years of college. I stopped going to theme parks period years ago until this year, now with a toddler in tow and trying to find ways for him to get his energy out. We've been to 6 Flags Magic Mountain 2x now. Mainly due to having a season pass. Now with the merger of Six Flags, the Cedar Fair parks and Knotts, it's a no brainer and a steal compared to going to Disney. We paid $175 for a prestige season pass and that included going to the parks for the rest of 2025 and the full calendar year of 2026 with no blackout dates and preferred parking! We went to 6 Flags because we bought our passes with this park as our home park to save $70 compared to having Knotts as our home park. We also got an all parks meal plan for $155 and a drinks plus plan for $56. For less than $400, the pass included unlimited no blackout visits with parking, 2 meals during each visit (4 hours in between meals), and drinks (soda, icee, coffee, hot cocoa every 15 min). Oh I also get 1 free fast pass each visit! 6 Flags has mostly big kid/adult rides, but they do have the Bugs Bunny area for kids, which is where we go with our little guy. Even on the weekend when we go, it was never really crowded and wait times were minimal. Our boy loves to eat at the parks and go on the car rides and just people watch. The meal plan works great because we get a meal as soon as we get there, hang out for several hours and get another meal before heading home. They do have event throughout the year. We were not able to make it for the Halloween event, but we have been for the Holidays in the Park. It does look pretty with all the lights, but I do remember more lights back in the day. There are some things the park could do to give it more life... for example a paint job throughout the park to brighten the park back up and patching up the cracks and broken cement around the park. It looks run down with all the faded paint and broken cement. Hence I docked a star. I think it would make a BIG difference to simply fix those things. It definitely does not have the Disney "magic". My toddler might not notice those things, but I do. Regardless, the park is great value for the price and my toddler has fun so that's all that matters. I am not willing to pay "Disney" prices. Would I be back? Yes I would be back. I even plan on coming back to go the Hurricane Harbor as that is also included in our pass!
We usually come here at least twice during our visit and we go for the thrills and roller coasters. However, I wish they did have more family rides and water rides since it is more hot. They do have roaring rapids, but that one you get really soaked. I think they are going to get rid of jet stream racers as it is old and showing its age. Lex Luthor was closed down too which was a bummer. However, my time here did go by really quickly even though the intensity was somewhat getting to me. I rode all the roller coasters except for batman, gold rusher, ninja and tatsu and viper as getting older your head can take so much. Here are some facts to know. 1. If the ride is open they run one train on X2 and Apocalypse 2. Most of the roller coasters are usually open, but operations can be slow. I wish they would get rid of the comfort collars on West Coast Racers as it hurts my neck and sholders 3. Wonder Woman they only run 2 trains, but the line does go quickly Holiday in the Park was crowded, but not too extreme. Most of the wait times range between 30 to 60 minutes. We did use some of the skip the line passes. The rides I probably should not go again is Scream as it is shaky and rough and head banging. Food wise, they have the same ole and ole, but we enjoy the pizza place. The Asian place is now in the food court. I like the Mexican food and Dole whip is awesome and must get. The chicken sandwich is alright too. All of the Looney Tunes characters come out on the main street and not the Looney Tunes area. One thing I enjoy doing is 30 minutes before closing time I head to Wonder Woman and ride my heart out as the line is really short and the people that work there are really nice and let you reride again and sometimes let you sit on the seat. I tend to get 4 rides on it.

Very cool Holiday atmosphere. I enjoyed walking around. Definitely worth getting the annual food pass and drink cup. I like visiting especially if I want to get exercise and steps in. I tried the Johnny Rockets burger. Juicy but I felt lacking flavor. 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

Hi, thank you for your feedback! We are disappointed to hear your…
Great theme park. Popped in on Monday with the kids. Nice and slow with front row seats on most rides. With the meal passes and price of admission I feel like it's a pretty solid deal especially if you stay all day. Park is clean and all the staff is super nice and helpful. We will probably come back. read more

Oh man, I've grown up coming to this amusement park. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved this place because of the big rollercoasters. My favorite place to eat is Munchopolis Snacks and the chicken strips are so delicious. X2 always comes last with a frozen lemonade before hand. Gold Rush comes after food, and Tatsu is arguably the best ride. Im saddened by the closure of the Elote stand in DC area, but I'll let it go. I love the Christmas lights and Fright Fest. Don't appreciate the clowns chasing me, but I guess that's their job. 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. The kiddie land is great for my 4 year old and my husband and I get to enjoy the big rides by taking turns. Coming here makes a fun day and I'm so happy we bought the passes. read more

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. If you love rollercoasters it's worth going. read more

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 have season passes, took my oldest daughter this past Sunday for a final trip before school starts. We had a blast. I love having the season pass because it means free entry and free parking! We also have the souvenir bottle and get free refills all day long. So it is a cheap, fun thrill. It wasn't too busy and we got to ride everything we wanted. We will be back before the end of the year. 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

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 read more

The rides are truly thrilling! Magic Mountain was my playground growing up because I was raised in Valencia. The park hasn't been the cleanest and the water fountain has never had a clean filter, but I keep coming back for the rides. read more

Words can't describe how much I love Magic Mountain! This is my Childhood theme park, and there's a reason it's called "The Thrill Capital of the World." Every ride here is either the most thrilling, historic, or first of its kind. The atmosphere is unbelievably welcoming, and going on a Monday definitely helped improve the experience. No more than a 15min wait for any ride, and you pretty much have the entire park to yourself if you go during the week. Getting a season pass is the best way to experience any Six Flags park, because going at least 3-4 times in a year pays itself off. So if you're looking for amazing rides with half the wait time and half the price of Disneyland, I couldn't recommend Magic Mountain more! 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
Visited the park today after not going for a few years Maybe about 5 years or so. I thought the rides were still a thrill as they were a few years ago. The park itself is a bit ran down and needs some modification to bring it back to life. The food options are very bland but many options all around. read more

Hi, we’re very sorry that that was your experience with us. Please…
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. read more
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! read more

Last time I came was over 20 years ago. This is the 1st time my kids came & they loved it. We had a lot of fun. For the most part, none of the rides broke down. Restrooms outside of the entrance was dirty but inside the park was clean. Hoping we can come back in the near future. read more

Had an amazing day with the best person in the world to me and was a decent weather so if you go. Choose dates not in the summer and you'll be happy you did. Had all you can eat pass and we had chicken tenders some mango ice cream and wings. Best ride in the park Tatsu hands down Second favorite was Jet stream and CraZanity. I personally liked X2 but she had other opinions... read more

I'm done buying the season pass. Honestly I'm done coming here as a whole. Rides consistently break down, lines are incredibly long, and it ends up being a waste of time and money every single time. What's the point of coming if only 3 or 4 good rides are open and the lines go beyond the barrier?Not only that, the food gets more expensive and their "benefits" for the passes suck. Sixflags has really gone down hill post pandemic. read more

Super fun experience! If you love roller coasters you will love it here, however if you are not a huge roller coaster fan there's not much for you to do. Staffs were efficient, except for the accessibility office which took a while. Getting in was easy, reentering was easy. Fright Fest was fun, for something that is included in your ticket it is very worth it. My friend did get stuck on one of the rides, and their communication with her and us could've been better. But super fun overall! Fun day read more

DO NOT PURCHASE THE FAST LANE PASS - apparently it was just launched last week and it is a COMPLETE waste of money! Magic Mountain has NO care whatsoever for the customer experience - they will take every opportunity to drain every penny you have - even when their rides are not working! My husband grew up in Santa Clarita and used to go to Magic Mountain all the time - he had such fond memories of the place but we had to take a break from going after we had kids. Finally, our younger son was tall enough and we decided to take him to Magic Mountain - it was our first time going back in years and we were SO excited. It was my son's birthday so we saved up to purchase 2 Fast Lane passes (we couldn't afford 3) so that my husband could treat my son to some fun rides with short wait times. The park tickets were $65 each and the Fast Lane Passes were $89 each! The office inside the park where you purchase the Fast Lane passes advertises all the rides it's supposed to include - there are 20 on the list so we thought it would be worth it even though it was extremely expensive. Once we were in the park it was just one disappointment after another. SIX rides were completely shut down: Viper, Revolution, Roaring Rapids, Gold Rusher, Superman and Wonder Woman. Additionally, 3 more rides were only partially operational, so announcements were being made that the Fast Lane pass wait times would be the same as the general line. Those rides were Justice League, Apocalypse and Ninja. That made for a total of NINE rides for which the Fast Lane Pass was completely useless!! Feeling frustrated after only being able to use the pass on 2 rides (Justice League and Ninja - and still having to wait the normal wait time since they were only partially operational), we decided to head back to the purchasing office to return the passes and ask for a refund. I asked them to scan our passes to see that we were only able to use them on 2 rides. We spoke with 2 customer service representatives who were very understanding and compassionate about our situation and agreed that a refund should be warranted given that so many rides were shut down, but they had to get approval from the supervisor. The supervisor's name was John S and he was the most cold, uncaring person I have ever met who refused to give us any refund at all. He said that when we purchased the passes we were informed that "ride availability is subject to change" - and he's right, there is a small fine print disclaimer under the list of rides. However, I explained that while I understood that ride availability would be subject to change, I also believed that the park would inform guests of any closures at the time of purchase - or list the ride status on the screen if they were closed. He said the park has no responsibility to inform guests about closures. So even if ALL the rides were shut down they would still sell you a Fast Lane Pass and then tell you "too bad" if you asked for a refund. This feels like blatant deceit and false advertising. The park is making no effort whatsoever to inform guests of ride closures, but will happily take your money to purchase a Fast Lane pass for rides that aren't even open. I literally begged him for even just a partial refund so that we could do something else for my son for his birthday, but John wouldn't give an inch. His attitude was basically, "Too bad, sucks to be you, bye." What started off as hopes for an awesome return to our favorite theme park ended with us feeling totally shattered. Sadly, we will NEVER return to Magic Mountain again. And to think, it would have just cost them a $178 refund to show that they actually care about the customer experience, do the right thing when nearly half their Fast Lane rides are closed, and they would have kept us as happy customers for life. But instead, they've lost us for life. Not that they care, though. In addition to the Fast Lane issue, the park is in a horrific state compared to how we remembered it. Faded paint, chipping and peeling everywhere, cracked walkways, it's just sad to look at. read more

Ask the Community - Six Flags Magic Mountain
Is the add-on pass "Unlimited All Day Dining Deal", $34.99 worth it? Is Starbucks included? Or are there any exclusions?
It's worth it if you're going to eat at least 2 meals there. There are some exclusions I'm assuming it does not include Starbucks but I'm not for sure on that. It's about $20 for one meal.
Are water bottles like hydro flasks allowed?
I did see people with refillable water bottles last time I was there.
Are snacks and water allowed to be brought in?
Yes I brought a backpack full of waters and snacks
Are there rentable strollers?
Yes, located in Six Flags Plaza behind Guest Relations. Strollers, wheelchairs, and electronic wheelchairs (ECVs) are rented on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Is there an area for pick up and drop off?
Yes, right in front by valet parking. It's by the entrance to walk into park.
Do the Looney Tunes characters still come out for the kids?
We saw two characters the day we went Sylvester the Cat and tweety bird near the carousel and store at the main entrance
Donthey accept apple cash?
Hello there! Apple Pay is accepted at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Do they rent towels as six flags in NJ?
Wrong Six Flags, this is Magic Mountain, not Great Adventure
Can I wear tank top and hiking sandals with hydro flask water bottle at the amusement park?
Yes, on the Tank top and hiking sandals, there are some steep hills.. But bring sunblock to retouch after water rides. It gets quite hot in Santa Clarita so snacks and water is a great idea. You can definitely wear a backpack so a Camelbak or… Read more
Can i just pay for tickets i dont want the whole 12 month pass just single tickets how does this work?
Yes, you can buy one day tickets either online or in person. Online usually has a discount
Can I take small snacks like candy and fruit bars in my backpack to the park?
Yes you can bring food in. One day I saw a family bring in a whole cooler, the kind of cooler with wheels. I've seen families bring a whole dinner. But they do check bags, they won't say anything.
Is it less busy at evening or night? I've always gone in the morning and afternoon and it's crowded but every time leave, a lot of people are leaving too bc they're tired. Will it be slower at night? We're going today, Wednesday btw
We were just there last Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Each day we went in the morning and afternoon/evening. We would come back to the park at 5pm until 9pm and it's definitely less busy then the mornings!
How many people can go in the birthday party package and how much is it?
Is the photo pass worth it and how does it work?
Was t open day after Memorial Day, never seen ONE photographer.
Can you use a friends season pass unlimited refill cup for yourself for one day?
Yes! There is no scanning or anything in place. They just refill your cup.
Do they check out our id for our covid vaccine card ? Can we just have a picture of it ? Very confused on how this works
On certain dates (noted on their calendar on the website, right now 1/29&30 and 2/19-21) the health department requires Six Flags to ask for guests to show either a proof of vaccination or a negative covid test. They will provide a limited number of… Read more
