About Six Flags Magic Mountain
Six Flags Magic Mountain is in Valencia, north of Los Angeles, and competes with Cedar Point for the title of most roller coasters in the world. It is built on a hillside, which makes for constant elevation changes as you walk, and its line-up is almost entirely thrill-focused.
Which rides get the longest queues
X2, the fourth-dimension coaster with rotating seats, draws the longest queue in the park. Twisted Colossus, the dual-track hybrid, and Tatsu, the flying coaster, build long waits. Full Throttle and THE RIDDLER's Revenge round out the busiest rides. Goliath, Apocalypse, Viper and West Coast Racers queue steadily and make up the bulk of the collection.
How to avoid the queues
- X2 at opening: highest demand and the worst queue growth through the day.
- The park is on a hill and involves a lot of uphill walking: check live waits before climbing.
- Southern California heat in summer is a real factor: save the middle hours for shaded rides.
- The last hour before closing is the best for re-riding the big ones.
- Midweek outside school holidays the difference against a weekend is enormous.
Frequently asked questions
How long are the waits at Six Flags Magic Mountain?
On summer weekends X2 and Twisted Colossus can exceed an hour. Midweek in the shoulder season waits drop considerably. The live waits on this page show the real figure.
How many coasters does it have?
It is among the parks with the most roller coasters in the world, with a very varied collection: fourth-dimension (X2), flying (Tatsu), hybrid (Twisted Colossus) and classics such as Viper and Goliath.
Is it suitable for young children?
Its line-up is clearly thrill-oriented and most rides have height restrictions. There is a children's area, but it is not the best-suited park for families with small children.
Is it far from Los Angeles?
It is in Valencia, about 50 km north of downtown Los Angeles, roughly half an hour by car without traffic.
