Located 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles in unincorporated Los Angeles County near Valencia, California, Six Flags Magic Mountain is a premier West Coast amusement park destination. Opened on May 29, 1971, as a development of the Newhall Land and Farming Company and Sea World Inc., the park was purchased by Six Flags in 1979. Set across 209 acres, it offers easy regional reach for visitors exploring Southern California.
The park spans 209 acres and features a wide array of themed areas, including High Sierra Territory, Cyclone Bay, and Back Street. Famous primarily for its world-record roller coaster lineup, the park also hosts live shows at the Golden Bear Theater, classic water rides like Roaring Rapids and Jet Stream, and family areas featuring Looney Tunes characters. A separately gated 22-acre waterpark, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, sits right alongside the main grounds.
Six Flags Magic Mountain caters to intense thrill-seekers, roller coaster enthusiasts, and families alike. Famous for pioneering coaster design—including the world's first modern 360-degree looping steel coaster, Revolution—it boasts one of the largest coaster collections anywhere. Whether you are dropping into high-speed thrillers or taking younger guests to Bugs Bunny World, the park offers a rich, full-day attraction experience.
