Six Flags Magic Mountain Will Reopen April 1st WITH Rides!

Six Flags Magic Mountain announced plans to  reopen the park to members and passholders on April 1 and 2, and to the general public on  April 3, 2021. In accordance with state reopening guidelines for theme parks, Six Flags Magic  Mountain will operate at reduced attendance levels utilizing a new reservation system. The park is also implementing extensive safety measures including several new advanced technology  systems to protect guests and employees. The plan, developed in consultation with infectious  disease experts, sets standards for executing at the highest levels of hygiene and social  distancing protocols. These procedures will be adjusted on an as-needed basis to ensure  compliance with state and county recommendations.

“Six Flags Magic Mountain is the undisputed Thrill Capital of the World, and we are excited to  get our park open and our world-class collection of coasters running again”, said Six Flags  Magic Mountain’s Park President Don McCoy. “Our team is eager to return to work and  entertain our guests in a safe environment, providing the much-needed fun and escape we have  all missed this past year. I am also looking forward to seeing guests come out and experience West Coast Racers, our newest racing coaster that was only open briefly in 2020.”  

Los Angeles County will continue to operate a COVID-19 vaccination site in Six Flags Magic  Mountain’s parking lot.
