Six Flags Magic Mountain lights up the holiday season with the return of the beloved winter extravaganza—Holiday in the Park—select days November 20 through January 2. Revelers of all ages will be delighted as the park transforms into a dazzling winter wonderland with more than two million twinkling lights in eight uniquely themed areas.

“We are excited to be celebrating the magic of the season with the return of our annual holiday event,” said Park President Don McCoy. “Following last year’s successful, first-ever Holiday in the Park Drive-thru event, it feels particularly meaningful to return to the Six Flags holiday traditions our guests have come to love and expect. To commemorate this important occasion, we’re expanding Holiday in the Park by adding even more lights and new theming around the park, elevating the thrilling sights and sounds of the holidays in a truly captivating way,” added McCoy.

Guests can also cozy up with loved ones and roast marshmallows over an open fire pit at one of several locations around the park.

World’s Tallest Pendulum Ride, CraZanity, Debuts at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Now 365 Days of Thrills!

Newly Themed Boardwalk Area Includes Renovated Attractions, Dining, Games and Shopping

 

We had our first ever ride on a pendulum, and it happens to be the world’s tallest and fastest. Only at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The surrounding area is now called “Boardwalk.” The area is nicely re-painted and themed to the Craziness 😉 of CraZanity. The ride packs a punch!!! So much so that I ran out of saliva towards the end. You pick up so much speed its crazy, the air time is really really fun, we totally didn’t expect it. Great addition to the park, nice break from roller coaster during your visit 😉

Some Photos from the event 🙂

July 12th Six Flags Magic Mountain, the undisputed “Thrill Capital of the World,” today debuted CraZanity, the world’s tallest pendulum ride. At a record- breaking 170-feet in the air, the massive giant disk reaches speeds up to 75 miles-per-hour, as it whips back and forth — higher and higher giving riders a staggering view of the world below them.

“Six Flags is known world-wide for the biggest and best thrills bar none and the record-breaking CraZanity ride delivers a crazy, high adrenaline experience very different from anything else we have in our unparalleled thrill ride arsenal,” said Park President, Neal Thurman. “With 100 extra operating days, we are now open every single day which greatly expands our travel industry opportunities and allows us to better leverage the vast population of 24 million Southern California residents.”

The new 365-day operating calendar enables the Los Angeles-based theme park to work extensively with the destination travel markets. Southern California is a noted theme park mecca, welcoming more than 47 million visitors annually. Six Flags now has an operating schedule on par with all other theme parks in Southern California.

The park has done an extensive renovation of the Boardwalk area with new theming and attractions. Highlights include:

  • CraZanity – where 40 riders experience weightlessness swinging at speeds up to 75 miles-per-hour, and reaching a world-record 170-feet high;
  • Enhanced attractions featuring the Jammin’ Bumper Cars; and
  • New dining, games and shopping venues.Six Flags Magic Mountain 2018 Season Passes and Memberships are currently on sale.

Fright Fest at The Making Monsters Panel, ScareLA

On By TimothyIn Six Flag's Fright FestLeave a comment

At ScareLA I got to see “The Making Monsters Panel” which included Directors from 4 Major So-Cal Haunt attractions, hosted by Rick West.

 

IMG_0198

I’m only going to talk about Fright Fest, Fright Fest is one of my favorites! I love it for many different reasons; they turn off a lot of the Roller Coaster lights which makes it very dark and creepy just the way I like it, also with all the fog it makes it even better! Additionally, unlike most major haunted attractions, they only let in a few guest at a time though the maze, making it not seem like walking through a line in the maze and getting better scares! At the panel Art Director, Mark Wing, talked about some of process of Fright Fest. He also talked about a new type of Scare Zone that will incorporate the same tech they use for “Holiday In The Park”, which is not a bad idea since it did take them some time to set up last year! Lots of other new exciting things, new shows and a new scare zone near twisted colossus! Sounds like it will be an exciting season, I can’t wait to check it out! “The Fright Zone” aka Mary Imagination will be there along with me and its also her first time. 🙂
