Six Flags Magic Mountain

Six Flags Magic Mountain is an amusement park in Valencia near Santa Clarita in California with twenty roller coasters and other rides across roughly 209 acres (85 hectares). The complex divides into eleven themed areas connected by paths and plazas.

The complex opened in 1971 as a joint project between Sea World Inc and the Newhall Land and Farming Company. Six Flags took over the park in 1979 and expanded it over the decades into a center for roller coasters.

The name refers to the mountain location where the park sits on hilly terrain that shapes many of its rides. Visitors today see Warner Bros cartoon characters greeting them at entrances and performing in outdoor shows throughout the day.

The park sits north of Los Angeles and is accessible via Interstate 5, with parking lots directly at the entrance. Most rides have height and weight restrictions posted at the queue lines.

Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage opened in 2022 and made this the first amusement park in the world with twenty operating roller coasters at the same time. This coaster is the tallest and fastest of its type with single-sided trains.
