I love how people try to downplay how good this park is. Like kings island is my home park and it makes kings island feel like a carnival. I go to parks for coasters not theming or “atmosphere” the only major flaw to this park is they do not have many family rides it’s pretty much all thrill rides
I hate how they have only a single flash pass reservation for X2 and not the other ones. I mean last year it was unlimited reserves now it's just one. Hope they change it back to unlimited in 2025
On our visit, they had a lot of coasters operating with just 1 train. It was busy, long lines. I don't know if this is their standard practice, or, in their minds, if they wait for summer craziness to run all the trains available, which I assume increases labor and operating costs. Still, it would have been nice to have those longs lines reduced, especially on X2, which was usually 90-120 minutes. Maybe someone with more Magic Mountain experience can chime in on this comment and let us know.
This is currently my favorite Six Flags park. I actually like the coaster lineup at this park more than I do at Cedar Point. But do I like this park as a whole more than Cedar Point? Well, I am hoping to get to both this summer, so I'll let you know afterward.
If you are distinguishing between amusement parks and theme parks then it's the best in California. But if you're including more traditional theme parks then I don't think this comes close to the quality at Disneyland. But that speaks more to my preferences. I really like Magic Mountain. For what it is it's great. And for a Six Flags park it's one of the more scenic parks in the chain and some areas genuinely look quite good. It's my personal favorite Six Flags, even above Fiesta Texas because it's ride lineup is so good. But for me, a park just isn't well rounded if they put all of their focus on their coaster collection. It's collection is phenomenal. No doubt about it. I rank it's collection second behind Cedar Point and even thought that prior to Steel Vengeance it had the overall superior collection. But even a great coaster collection isn't enough to make it the best overall park in California. Again, in my opinion.
Completely agree! I was distinguishing between theme parks and amusement parks, but I can see that I didn’t make that 100% clear. I, too, prefer Disneyland (and Knotts too), but for coasters Magic Mountain does it best

This video deserves more views.
I’d like to visit the park at the December first week
Is it crowded at that time ?
I live in Brazil , is it open until December 4th ?

Magic Mountain has horrible operations and a weaker park atmosphere I think cedar point is still ahead of it by a fair amount
