Magic Mountain is proud
of it's coasters
|
Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California, 30
miles north of LA. It's a thrill ride park, with lot's of rollercoasters
(15 by the end of 2001). It can be very crowded during the weekends
when lot's of teenagers from LA go to Magic Mountain.

I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain on april 26, 2001. Be sure to
read the tripreport here.
Six Flags Magic Mountain now calls itself an extreme park (after
opening 3 new coasters in 2001) instead of themepark.

The park features some differently themed areas (like many themeparks),
like the ones in the pictures on the left and right.
You can find the official Six Flags Magic Mountain website here.
