Went to the Park on Friday and Saturday. Friday was ALOT less people, but Saturday was super crowded. We opted for the Platinum Flash Pass and for a family of 3 it was an extra $269 on top of the park admission. More

The theme park told one story - lack of money/investment. - There were not enough staff on keeping an eye on the place and tidying/cleaning - There was no control at the rides preventing the gangs of teenagers jumping the line to join their mates nearer the front. - Most rides only had one car working accentuating the wait in...

Magic Mountain is great for those who love thrill rides and high speed roller coasters, as it has some of the best and heart-stopping coasters in the world. However, don't expect an ambiance like you would find at Disneyland. There isn't a lot of money put into the grounds and landscaping, etc. It definitely appears as though the majority of... More

We are annual pass-holders but live 1.5 hours away so we don't go a whole lot. However, getting the pass is totally worth it if you get them early in the year and buy 4 (to get free parking). We also really enjoy Hurricane Harbor and will be planning some trips in the summer. I am on the SFMM survey... More

Six flags is great fun. If you like white knuckle rides you're in for a treat. Although entry to the park is very cheap in comparison to other similar attractions in L.A, it's once you're in the park where they make their money. Food and drink is very expensive. I'm not sure if you're allowed to take your own refreshments... More

Six Flags Magic Mountain is very consistent - rides, cleanliness, and overall park experience is about the same every time I go. I went in May and there were no lines for rides (except X2 and Tatsu). Had the all you can eat buffet for lunch. At $20, I would have expected more than salad, beef, chicken and some starchy... More

I took my kids on New Years day to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia. We had a great time, the lines weren't long and the park wasn't crowded. The food is ok at best, Way over priced but that is to be expected at any theme park. We discussed making this an annual trip since we did have a... More

First of all, go to the website and buy your tickets (for half price!) and parking online before you go to the park. By doing this, you get to walk past all the other suckers waiting in line and get into the park with no wait time. We went on a Friday, and it wasn't too terribly busy. The only... More
